The best pho I've had in Richmond, hands down; killer broth, fresh ingredients, perfect noodles. It's immaculately clean, the host / server / cashier was so welcoming and friendly, too. Amazing interior decor and vibe - I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. read more

If I could give it a 6/5 I would!!!! It was a gloomy day so this was very necessary. Denzel was an awesome host as he cared for everyone in the small dining area. He constantly checked on us and noticed the small things (ex. When we needed to go containers). The food was chef's freaking kisses!!!! A testimony to this place is the full tables and the people that waited for tables! The fried pork rolls were sold out but the fried veggie rolls were just as good. Of course I had enough food to go because my eyes are always bigger than my belly!!! Reminder: CASH ONLY!!! read more

This place is quite possibly the best place to get pho! Denzel is always happy, upbeat, and recognizes me whenever I go in :) This place is cash only, but the prices are excellent. read more

Pho Tay Do is one of the best Pho places in Richmond. The wait staff is friendly and personable. The restaurant itself is so homey and well decorated with great cutouts and art. The Pho is fresh and beefy with amazing aromatics, I find that they normally lean a bit on the sweeter and richer side here than some places. I normally go for the Pho Tai and I have never been disappointed. They also have great Veggie options. The Prices are great considering their x-large bowl costs the same if not less than other stores large bowls. The one big thing to remember is this business is cash only. There is no ATM inside so make sure to come prepared. I've tried all 21 places in Richmond that serve pho and Pho Tay Do is in the Top 3. I think if they had later hours they would easily be #2 for me. All in all this is a great spot to grab a delicious bowl of Pho and definitely beats out the 4 other Pho places that are all around them. read more

My husband and I were up in Richmond and we saw a Noodle Restaurant. My husband loves noodles and I love Pho. I started looking at reviews of restaurants near us and I found this one. The reviews were good, but I wanted to check it out for myself. We both ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls and the Shrimp Pho. They were both excellent. The Pho had the best broth that warmed the Soul. The service was excellent and the gentleman who greeted and served us was top notch. He was very personable and truly made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be going back to Richmond for the Pho! read more

Welcome to your new favorite viet restaurant!!! The best bun bo hue I've had in Richmond and goi du du! It's an appetizer with papaya and something similar to beef jerky. The service is TOP NOTCH.

Bun bo hue: umami x 10000000, salivate, flavor explosion, warmth Goi du du: 2/3 refreshing 1/3 enticing I haven't had anything on their menu I wouldn't order again. These are just my two favorites!! Also the viet iced coffee ofc ! read more

Oh, how I love this place and have been going for years. The awesome man running it is a miracle in choreography. He warmly greets everyone, finds tables as needed because there is often a line to get in (go at off times if you can), happily takes food orders, checks to make sure there is nothing you are needing and are happy, and then takes payments at the register. The food is phenomenal, they have a sweet woman cleaning and clearing the tables. It is joy to be there. Don't miss the papaya salad.It is family owned, with the fun cutouts and paintings done by their Vietnamese-born son. Cash only, closed Wednesdays. read more

The best pho in Richmond hands down! Definitely a hole-in-the-wall and mom-and-pop-shop since the iconic "blue house" is hidden behind the bigger pho restaurant Pho Thien Phat. You know the quality of the food is excellent when it's only cash only (like I would give 6 stars). There is limited seating and their parking area is small, but I'm sure people just park on the street since it's located in an inside road. I usually order their combo pho, which I love because it includes meatballs. I often take my pho to-go and it is $10 flat. They are also very accommodating because I like to ask for my noodles uncooked so they don't clump together. The noodle portion is very generous because it'll be enough for two meals. read more

Pho Tay Do - B9. Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My favorite restaurant for their pho and their combination fried rice is fresh and doesn't use day old rice like most places prefer to cook it! Best pho and fried rice in the town out of all the pho places I've gone to hands down. Only thing that's a downside is they accept cash only so make sure you have some! I wish they accepted credit card. read more

It looks like a house. Also known as, "blue house", as my family likes to call it. Not a lot of parking, sometimes you'll have to park on the street. Been coming here for years as a kid with my parents. Not a lot of things have changed over the years. A small business and the dad is a great artist. Around the restaurant, there's a lot of paintings of people, landscapes, and more. The wife of the owner used to make the food, but she passed away from cancer, unfortunately. Now, her daughter took over the business and is now making the food. Which is just as good. She's continuing the legacy of what her parents started. The daughter's husband is helping too, as a server, so that's nice. My recommended dish to get here for an appetizer is the Egg Roll. Always served hot and crunchy. Their pho is really good. The only place that is inexpensive to get Pho, like 6 or 7 dollars only. I have gotten broken rice, spring rolls, and other dishes, but they're not the best compared to other places I've had. A caveat is that you have to come here with cash because they only accept cash for payment. Their customer service is excellent. The waiter is always checking on us frequently. Checking to refill our water and if we're okay or if we want anything else. Overall, it's a small restaurant that has reasonable pricing for great food. Everyone is friendly and seems like they enjoy what they're doing. I like how the business is still running after everything that has happened. If you ever want a good bowl of pho, come to Pho Tay Do! They definitely deserve 5 stars because they provide not just food, but love and passion in their food. read more

This is a place that is off the beaten path, but worth beating a path too! We found the house that hosts the restaurant and it has a small parking lot out front The staff was friendly and never stopped moving, serving customers, filling glasses and the like The food was awesome fresh and authentic and we really enjoyed our meal read more

We visit often ant it's always on point. Never a bad bowl. Bring cash and your appetite as this is some of the best Pho in Richmond.

I think I must have gone on an off day - but the noodles were very over cooked and broken into a million pieces. The broth was amazing though so I was very disappointed by the noodles. This was my first and only time here so I will give it a try another day because the reviews make it sound like it's a great spot read more

This place is a hidden gem and, dare I say, best Vietnamese place in town! Its ambiance instantly draws you in and makes you feel like one of the locals who are in the know. I cannot say enough good things about Tay Do. You have to go and enjoy the affordable, delicious and wonderful food and personable service. It is a place I will keep returning, whenever I remember to carry cash. read more

Great service! Serves were very kind, friendly and attentive! Kudos! We had the spring rolls shrimp and pork, fried egg rolls pork, B9, HT1 and pho with pig feet and tendon. Everything was amazing! Flavor and taste was there, thankful they had a variety of pho, noodles and meats to add. Definitely, must try location. read more

Good food and friendly service. It's cash only so have some paper with you. I make every attempt to visit and support this place when I visit Richmond. read more

This place looks a little bit sketch on the outside because it is literally just a tiny blue house, but do not be fooled! Their pho broth is delightfully rich, tasty, aromatic, and authentic. Probably the best pho I've had in RVA. As a side note, the employees were quick and attentive, and the bathroom looked pretty clean and well-kept. I don't have much else to say except that their pho was super tasty, and I can't wait to stop by here again. Just don't forget to bring cash because they do not accept cards. read more

This little restaurant exceeded my expectations in terms of food quality. The prices were affordable and definitely worth paying for. Depending on where you sit, it can feel really uncomfortable as it is very cramped. So I would hope you get sat at a table by itself. The waiter was very kind, but he was absent during most of our time there. It was very busy so hopefully that was why the service was lacking. I am excited to go back on a less busy day and I will update my review! I ordered the fried pork rolls and Bun Bo Hue. The fried pork rolls are a must! To me it was fried perfectly and it tasted delicious with the orange dipping sauce they give you. The Bun Bo Hue was so delicious as well! I have tried several and this is by far the spiciest one I've had. So if you don't like anything TOO spicy I would just ask the waiter to tone it down a bit. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. The portion was a good size and it filled me up nicely. I definitely recommend this place! Just make sure to come on a less busy day. read more

LISTEN THIS IS THE BEST PHO in the area & we drive over an hour to get here. The pho broth is SO flavorful, perfectly balanced. The fried pork rolls are the best I've ever had, no one does Vietnamese food better than this place. The customer service here is the best service I have ever received at ANY restaurant, they make you feel at home & welcome. (& I have been to many places). It's very homey inside, it's small & I believe it is family owned. Can't beat this place, super consistent too. The food is always out of this world. My husband gets the fried rice dishes & loves them, as well as the fresh spring rolls. I can't rave enough about this place. You HAVE to try it for yourself. Cash only so don't forget to stop by an ATM before you get there. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is the best. The staff are really sweet and we've been taking friends here for years! I wouldn't say it's the best pho in town, but I think it's the most fun place to go for lunch -- from approaching the spot with its unassuming colors painted on the little house and sign itself, to the paintings and murals inside...it's really fun bringing out-of-towners. Remember they don't accept cards! read more

My favorite place to get pho. If you're here not ordering pho, then why are you here? The people are really friendly and sweet. The restaurant is family owned so there were times that they had to close to put family first. The pho is very authentic and it tastes the same as you'd get it in Vietnam or if my mom were to make it. It's the taste of what I would call being at home. It is my preferred place to go if I carry the cash for it. Actually I rarely carry cash so if the place is open and I'm craving pho, I will occasionally go to the bank just to get their pho. read more

I ordered via Uber eats the vermicelli with pork, shrimp and egg rolls. The restaurant did not pack any fish sauce with my meal. Basically I ate my food without flavor. It's disappointing that I try to support a local restaurant and get this level of service. read more

Service is A++ and the food is authentic and delicious! I'm from Northern VA and travel a lot so had my fair share of viet food in many different places. I was so impressed by the food here and I especially recommend the bun bo hue! On Halloween, one of the servers was dressed as a sriracha bottle. Fun place read more

To be honest, I felt dirty and cheap driving by my usual pho places to come try this place out. I've been meaning to come here but I always ended up at Vietnam 1 or the other place across the street from Pho Tay Do. I decided to try this place out today and I think I'm going to be coming here more regularly. The pho is just as good as any of the other places, the portions are larger, and the service is night and day compared to the other pho places in the area. The guys working there were super nice and helpful and the pho bowls were amazing with lots of noodles and meats. The restaurant itself is a little small but that adds to the charm. I definitely recommend trying this place out when in the mood for pho read more

I've been to Pho Tay Do for many, many years and have never been disappointed with any of their dishes. They are always on point with their food when it comes and consistent in quality and quantity. My go to entree is the rice noodles with pork and shrimp, which is something most other Vietnamese restaurants don't offer. The soup for this dish is perfectly seasoned, light and comforting. Their other dishes (vermicelli, broken rice, etc.) are just as good. Whenever our family hosts house parties, we always bulk order their nem nuong (Vietnamese meatballs) from them. The only downside of this place is that they accept cash only and parking is limited so you'll occasionally have to park on the street. This doesn't stop me from going though, I always keep cash on me just in case someone suggests Pho Tay Do for a meal! read more

I have always loved the Pho from here but not today. I dont know what has happened but it was horrible. I mean im not even sure its not rancid. I got the shrimp pho with clear noodles and I knew something was wrong first of all when the broth was cold to the touch and then I smelled it and it smells awful, like rotten grease from a grease trap. Im too afraid to eat it just from the smell alone so Im throwing it away. Sadly wont be back read more

The service was great but unfortunately the food wasn't. The pho noodles were soggy.

Its a solid spot with a very friendly waiter. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

My travel-weary soul is restored. Spent a week in San Francisco for work and the time change kicked my butt. Had a hard time sleeping when I was there and an even harder time now that I'm home. I woke up craving pho at an obscenely early hour and thought I had to wait for lunchtime to satisfy my craving, but remembered reviews for Pho Tay Do that mentioned opening early. A check of Yelp...score! They open at 9. My hubby, daughter and I headed to Pho Tay Do at 10 (she's a teenager, so I had to wait until she woke up), which is mere minutes away. This is a cash-only place, so be sure to bring some money with you. We ordered hot jasmine tea and Vietnamese iced coffee for drinks. Appetizers were soft shrimp and pork spring rolls and fried spring rolls. The fried spring rolls were epic; the soft spring rolls, not so much. I love fresh spring rolls but these were really bland...basically tasted like water. For entrees we got pho--two pho tai and one pho ga. Wow! The pho was spectacular! Deep, rich broth and a huge portion of noodles. We ordered the regular portion, but they also offer a smaller and larger size. I couldn't finish the regular, even though I really, really wanted to. This restaurant is now on my short list for places to go for soul-satisfying grub. read more
