After waking up this morning with an irresistible craving for Pho quite literally after dreaming about it last night! I set off toward the Southside and happened upon Pho Today, conveniently situated right next to Jersey Mike's. Arrival was entirely effortless, as I secured a lovely private parking spot right outside. Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by how pristine and fresh the atmosphere was, delightfully accented with lush green plants that lend a serene, tasteful touch to the decor. The service was prompt and exceptionally courteous. To begin, I ordered my absolute favorite, an Iced Thai Tea, which was prepared to perfection rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying. For my main course, I selected the P1 Pho Special (Bún bò Huế). When the steaming bowl arrived, it was a lavish, extraordinarily generous masterpiece brimming with steak, flank, tendon, tripe, and beef meatballs. Every single element was tender, incredibly rich, and cooked to absolute perfection. It made for a delightfully hearty and comforting luncheon that exceeded every expectation! Pho Today has firmly established itself as a top-tier five-star favorite of mine. Full marks for exceptional flavor and wonderful hospitality I shall most certainly be returning! read more

Exactly what the restaurant name depicts - quality pho! Service was very quick, price was right, and restaurant is spacious and clean. I was surprised how quick the food was ready. The appetizers came out less than 5 minutes after ordering. Our server was straight to the point and checked up on us an appropriate amount of times. Fresh salad rolls with shrimp was a 3.5 out of 5. Yummy but would be even better with less noodles and more veggies. Salt and pepper calamari was a 4 out of 5. Pairs well with the sauce and peppers. Wish there were different parts of calamari, and that it was a little bit crispier. Roasted duck egg noodle soup was a 4.5 out of 5. Best thing I ate here so far! Generous portion of duck. The broth was the my favorite - flavorful, not fatty, and perfect temperature! I love that it came with bokchoy, cilantro, and green onion for a fresh reset. Egg noodles paired very well. We came here looking for a cozy meal on a rainy day, and we got just that! I will definitely return for a bowl of pho next time. read more

I don't know why I had the audacity to give this four stars when this is a five star Pho option. A bowl of Pho has become my new chicken noodle soup when I'm feeling sick, and the quality of broth here is better than some of the other places in Jacksonville that taste a little watered down. The add-on ingredients are fresh and delicious and the menu is fantastic. read more

Great spot! One of the best Pho spots in Jacksonville I have tried at a great price. One photo has the size of the bowel in relation to my hand as a 6'1 guy. The bowel was huge! Overall the Pho was delicious I had the Oxtail pho, wish it had some extra meat in it dish but overall 8.5/10. Shrimp fresh rolls were also delicious, and great size. 8/10. My favorite dish was the salt and pepper calamari, highly recommend this appetizer if you ever go! Highlight dish for me personally 9.5/10. The place itself is clean, spacious with plenty seating, and lively with a good crowd. Waiter was quick with the orders and efficient. Overall definitely a spot to try for Pho here! read more

Really good pho with flavorful broth, a good amount of meat, and a decent serving size! Although a bit on the pricey side. The fried rice is pretty good too. I wish there was more shrimp though! It wasn't the most flavorful, but they do give you soy sauce to add in. The drinks are pretty good too. I wish the condensed milk was a little stronger in the iced coffee, but the thai tea was really good! read more

One of the tastiest pho spots you'll find in Jacksonville: I've been coming to Pho Today for over 10 years, and the flavor consistently holds its own against most pho spots in Jax (just my opinion). Is it a perfect 5/5? No -- but if Yelp or Google let me choose 4.5 stars, that's exactly where this would land. If you're debating between a small vs. regular or large bowl of pho: never order the small. You'll get limited protein and mostly broth and noods. Trust me -- go regular or large. Worst case, you take leftovers home. Best case, you get the added entertainment of trying to pour that wide, overflowing bowl into one of those tall, skinny to-go containers without spilling a drop. Extra points if you are 100% successful! I usually order at least one appetizer per visit, and everything I've tried has been delicious and reasonably priced. Their frozen boba teas are solid -- if I'm choosing between iced or frozen, Taro and Thai tea are my go-tos. And don't sleep on the homemade lemonade. No free refills, but it's absolutely worth it. The fried rice with Vietnamese sausage is another favorite of mine. I'll either share it or order it alongside my pho and take the rest home. The sausage adds a natural saltiness and depth of flavor that really makes the dish. So why not 5 stars? Customer service when dining in could be better timed and a smidge more friendly. Portion consistency between dine-in and to-go orders is hit or miss almost half the time. And while nothing is deal-breaking, a few minor cleanliness details on the table accessories could use more attention (I'll include a labeled photo for reference). That said, this is still one of my go-to pho spots in Jacksonville and has been for over a decade. If you're here for flavor first and comfort food that hits the spot, Pho Today is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Food and service has improved since the last review in 2021. Pho soups are more flavorful, fresh spring rolls (shrimp) and Seafood Crispy Egg Noodles were delicious. The ambiance was busy and a quite full restaurant. For this visit, I had the fresh spring rolls (shrimp) and the seafood crispy egg noodle (also known as Bird's Nest at some restaurants). The spring rolls were made to order and the ingredients were fresh and easy to eat. The seafood crispy egg noodle were cooked nicely, hot stir fry seafood and veggies which had shrimp, squid, scallops, krabmeat, carrots, celery, broccoli, cucumber and mushrooms. Looking forward for more lunches and other menu items. read more

Came here for the pho and wanted to order all the things! My spouse got the beef short rib with pork and damn was it a flavor bomb. The broth on the pho was excellent. However, the other dishes are so good I'm not sure I'll ever end up ordering just the pho again. This place was packed at 2pm. I believe that says it all. read more

Pho Today is the 2nd best pho restaurant in Jacksonville (after Urban Vietnamese)! It's a little hard to find if you're not using GPS bc you can't see it from Southside Blvd. You take a side street between McD's and Wendy's, then turn right to the shopping complex. It's located right next to Jersey Mikes. The service is great, lots of servers available to take care of you. The only concern I had was the cleanliness.... there were specks of food on the drink menu and a few flies/gnats flying around me as I was eating. The food is absolutely tremendous! The fresh salad roll (usually called spring rolls at other Vietnamese restaurants) with shrimp and pork was fresh and delicious. The peanut sauce was perfect. The pho is tasty too. I could smell the star anise infused in the broth even before the server brought my extra large bowl of pho to the table!! The broth had such profound flavors and it came with a huge plate of extra fresh bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño and limes. Delicious!! If they could just work on the cleanliness, they would totally deserve 5 stars! read more

One of my favorite pho spots in the Jax, this place always hits the spot the morning after a night out or on a cold day. There is plenty of parking outside and lots of seating inside, the staff is more than willing to push together a few tables if you have a large group. The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of space between parties. Ordering is quick and the food comes out hot and delicious, I love their pho tai and spring rolls with shrimp and pork. The staff is also kind enough to split checks in whichever way you need. There is always plenty of sides to go in the pho and sriracha at the table. Can't beat it! read more

Rolled into Pho Today the day after Thanksgiving, trying to escape the loop of leftover turkey and casseroles. I hadn't been in a while, and I wanted to pull my foodie friend into a place he somehow hadn't tried yet. The place was already buzzing when we walked in. Tables full, families settled in, and plenty of Vietnamese diners. My inner Bigfoot instinct gave a quiet nod... if the folks who grew up with this food choose to eat here, you're probably in the right spot. I went straight for the P1. Full house bowl with steak, flank, tendon, tripe, and meatballs. I ordered the extra large out of habit. I can't crush a bowl that size anymore, but it still landed heavy. The tripe isn't my thing, but I leave it in since it's part of the broth's rhythm. The garnish plate came stacked with basil, cilantro, sprouts, lime, and jalapeños, with chili oil, nuoc cham, hoisin, and Sriracha on the side. Easy to tune the bowl exactly how you want it. We opened with summer rolls, went with grilled pork this time. Fresh wrap, good herbs, and a dipping sauce that sat somewhere between peanut and nuoc cham. Light, clean, solid start. Our server was outstanding. Checked in at the right moments, stayed out of the way while we were actually eating, and never let anything fall behind. Smooth, instinctive service. By the time we finished, people were stacked near the door waiting on tables, scanning the room like they were tracking something. Always a good sign. read more

I have been wanting to go to Pho Today for the longest time but somehow never found myself there and when we moved to South JAX/St Johns I became even more difficult but finally a friend invited to me lunch when I was at the office and mommy I made it. We came in around 12:30PM on a Friday and had no issue getting a table. Once seated I noticed they have what I love to see at a table, that being all the sauces one would need. They had Hot Chili Oil, Soy Sauce, Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, and more! We of course had to start of with an appetizer. There was so much that sounded good but we went of one of my favorites which is a Fresh Salad Roll with Shrimp and Pork, also known as a Fresh Spring Roll. They came out very fast and were some of if not the best I have had. The perfect size and completely loaded with filling. I could have put order after order of these away. For my entrée there was a lot of stuff I wanted to try but I have never had Pho so my buddy told me it was a must and ordered for me the Pho Special Regular size which pretty much as everything in it that being Rare Steak, Flank, Tendon, Tripe, and Beef Balls. Once the Pho came out it was loaded and they even bring out a plate of veggies. Got got into it and the broth was so flavor full and the noodles were great too. I add some Hot Chili Oil to spice it up as well. Most of the meat was pretty good but some of it just wasn't for me. I will say it is some much food I don't understand how someone could eat an X Large to themselves. The menu has so much to try so I will for sure be coming back! read more

I got the salt and pepper calamari and chicken pho, and they're both delicious! Honestly my favorite most authentic tasting pho in jacksonville restaurant style. It was a little loud in there, but because they're so busy and so much going on, but that's a good reason right?! Our waiter was quick with refills and kept us updated with the orders! Will be coming back! Oh yeah ask for fried garlic/schallots to add to your pho... thank me later read more

Brought the family to this small Vietnamese place on Southside Boulevard in front of Tinseltown movie theater. Upon entering, you will be greeted by a sign asking you to wait to be seated. Depending on how busy they are will depend on how long you will wait. We waited for approximately 5 minutes before we were seated. You will have your choice of tables or booths. Our group of four was seated at a booth. Our host did not speak much English and getting drinks ordered in the noisy restaurant was tough, esp. when the menu did not reflect the correct drinks. Once our server got there, we ordered our meals: X-large create your own Pho (brisket and shrimp) for me Rice noodle bowl for my wife Small pho with chicken for my 9 year old Chicken fried rice for my sixteen year old We also ordered two orders of shrimp spring rolls and an order of cream cheese wontons for the table Our appetizers came out and we devoured the shrimp spring rolls served with peanut sauce and the kids raved about the cream cheese wantons that are served with a citrus ( i think orange) dipping sauce. Our mains came out piece meal with the pho coming out first and the other two meals came out about five minutes later. All the meals were well prepared and then made my daughters pho very kid friendly (no veggies just noodles and chicken). The fried rice looked and tasted way better than standard takeout fair - chunks of fresh shredded chicken and not as greasy. It's hard to describe my wife's noodle bowl but it is a great meal loaded with several different proteins and rice noodles plus some veggies. My wife enjoys it with extra peanut sauce. The portions are big enough that everyone had left overs. The staff are super accommodating in helping you get your leftovers home by providing boxes and soup containers, as well as extra condiments for my peanut sauce loving wife on request. You are also able to pay at table which makes leaving easy. Recommend it for a casual meal. read more

I have been a customer at PHO Today in Jacksonville since you first opened. I bring my friends and family here because I always loved the food. But yesterday, 7/5/2026, I was served this plate of basil with my pho. The leaves were brown And wilted, and its still watery. This is not fresh and not safe to eat. I have attached a photo. I am very upset because I respect this restaurant. I don't want other customers to get sick or have a bad experience. Please check all vegetables before they go out to the table. Food quality should be the #1 priority. I want to keep coming back, but I cannot if this happens again. I hope the owner or manager will fix this problem right away. read more

Pho Today - P1. Pho Special - Vietnamese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I had the best Pho yesterday at Pho Today. The P1 regular special. The broth was rich, the meats tasty, and veggies fresh. All needed sauces were right there. Salad rolls with grilled pork are also excellent. You can special request peanut sauce if you are note a fish sauce fan. Big spacious tables and booths with nice lighting. A little bit of a wait in a small area that was made to seem smaller with a group of 7 waiting there. It was a little busy during the after matinee, pre-dinner rush. Lots of take out and door dashers. It was hard to get anyone's attention to pay at the table so I went to the take out counter. read more

Day after Thanksgiving and what a great surprise as I was introduced to this Pho gem that I soon found out to be one of my now go to Vietnamese restaurants. Service was quick at noon, but the restaurant was packed. When our Pho came I knew I would not be disappointed. First clue was they had all the right condiments already placed on the table, just like in Vietnam. The only difference was this was in a very cozy warm environment and not in a street cafe in Saigon. Everyone on here talks about authenticity when they go to restaurants? I only use the word when I have been to the country and had the dining experience. Flavors were as big as the servings and reasonably priced. I apologize for not taking a photo of my Pho (S.2 Spicy Beef & Vietnamese Ham, pork jelly noodle soup). It is served piping hot and no better a dish for a cool day. A.4 Fresh Salad Rolls with Roast Pork, were a nice variation from the usual shrimp ones. Very tasty. A must try for Pho aficionados. read more

Great service, massive portions and decent Pho. Ambiance is nice, better than other Pho places in the area.

If you're looking for pho with a bit of a twist, this spot might be up your alley! The ambiance is nice, and the menu has a modern feel with some creative options. We ordered the pho and the duck soup, and both were delicious but a bit different from the traditional flavors you might expect. The pho broth was good--clear, slightly sweet, and flavorful--but it leaned more on the sweeter side than what I'm used to. It's definitely a bit Americanized, but the flavors still work well if you're open to a twist on the usual. The duck soup was a nice surprise. The broth had a wonderful herbal depth that balanced out the sweetness, and the duck itself was tender. It's not often you find a good duck option on a pho menu, and they pulled it off. In terms of value, the quality is there, but it's definitely pricier than your average pho place. You're paying for a slightly upscale experience here, so it's worth it if you're in the mood for something different. Overall, a good spot if you're open to fusion flavors, but purists might find it a bit too sweet or mild. Service, like any pho place was relatively fast. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was still quite packed, a testament to how great this place is. I'll come again! read more

We LOVE this place!! I'm from WA State - Seattle area - and like every West Coast person knows, authentic Asian food isn't hard to find there. In the south? It's much harder! To my delight, I have found Pho Today; and their food is SO SO good! I cannot recommend them enough! We often get takeout and they are so good at making sure the soup and noodles are separated AND they always include a prefilled container of fish sauce with Siracha!! I still haven't bought fish sauce for home but I have Siracha, so this complimentary touch is so appreciated. I often get a big bowl of pho so I also ask for extra and it's never an issue or extra charge! From a fellow Washingtonian: if you're looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant, check out Pho Today!
