We got here maybe an hour before they were closing, usually I don't like to dine in if the restaurant is set to close soon but my wife was craving pho and my daughter wanted chicken and rice. I am so glad my wife insisted on this place, oh my goodness the chicken was soooo flavorful (my daughter and I both got chicken and rice) and juicy. My wife liked her brisket pho as well. I had a couple bites and agree it was pretty good. While there we didn't feel rushed or anything, sometimes when a place is closing soon they want you out so they can close on time lol, but we didn't get that vibe here! Will be back for sure....oh and not to mention it's literally 5 minutes from home read more

Pho Tre Bien - Peep the pose though. Date with my little cutie. - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Service is very slow, i understand they're short staffed but there is no excuses to be just standing around. Need better management

Huge fan of Pho Tre Bien! Almost a perfect score and definitely a place where you want to be a regular! The fooooooooooood...phenomenal! Fresh and delicious. I've tried multiple things at PTB and I've loved everything I've ever ordered (and what I've taken off other people's plates in my party). The Charbroiled Beef with Rice and Salad, the Pho, the Spring Rolls, you just can't go wrong here. Price versus portion wise you may be a little disappointed with the main dishes, but the soups are large and inexpensive. The Spring Rolls are served in a little boat with a peanut sauce, so good. I'm seriously getting hungry writing this review so I'm just going to skip to the next point. So what is it like inside PTB? Beautiful, airy, and simple. You have to walk in through the back...it might seem a little silly, but the parking's in the back so it makes more sense. When you enter through the first door you'll be inside the greenhouse area. The koi pond and vegetation make you forget you're in El Paso (well unless it's 100 degrees outside). If you go at night it really is a magical environment, so get seating outside if you can. But if you're going for lunch go ahead and take a few more steps to the next door...now you're inside. PTB is tastefully decorated and the simplicity just makes it that much more appealing. There's a piano, but I have yet to hear anyone play it...one day I'm sure. Even though there really is no view from PTB being inside you forget that. Why the 4 star rating you ask? Service. It's nowhere near being bad, but it's only mediocre. It's not always consistent, but I've never left upset. I just wish the servers were a little bit more attentive (a couple are right on the money though). But other than that I have no complaints. PTB is simply a must! read more

Came for the pho. It was ok. Early in my meal I was using the red sauce and they cap came off and a ton of sauce spilled in my pho. I spooned most of it out but this pretty much ruined my pho. I did have some though before this happened so that's my real assessment, not the ruined pho. At the end when my waitress came with my bill, I told her what happened and she told me that the cap isn't the correct cap and she's told them that they're mismatching the caps and bottles. Well that sucks for me. No discount on their mistake for my ruined pho. Oh well. read more

The food was really good but it take a little long to get your food but recommend this place

OMG! As a self professed pho snob from OC with easy access to Viet food in Westminster, I had ZERO expectations for pho takeout that we chose randomly without even reading the reviews because we were starving during a road trip and it happened to be close to our Airbnb in El Paso. But I can definitely say this might be some of the best pho I've ever had! I'm not sure if it's because Texas takes brisket so seriously, but the quality of the meat in the brisket pho was SO much better than the cheap brisket meat you always get at pho restaurants in LA/OC. The broth was delicious and not oily too :) We also ordered banh mi sandwiches for the road too, and they were still really good the next day! I definitely definitely recommend if anyone is passing through El Paso!! read more

We had good service, loved the ambiance and the fish outside. The food was very delicious! If I could give more then 5 starts I would . Loved this place !! read more

Best Thai food I've had in el paso, I'm from the bay area in Cali, and it's pretty much the same taste, if I miss one thing from Cali is my Asian food, not much here in el paso, but this place hits the spot when I'm craving Thai, good portions and great service! Too busy eating forgot to take a picture, sorry not sorry! read more

Decent taste.. As a huuuuge fan of pho, I don't know what else to say about this place but I guess you can't ask so much in EP. I didn't like that they gave us sprouts and herbs that are super dry and bad. A little bit expensive for the size of the meal I think. They have some bubble tea but it didn't taste so good. Yes it's cool that they have a koi pond inside of their restaurant but it smells... Like dead fish... They need to clean it more often. read more

Great food and great place. Service was great if you don't know they have Veg option!

So I've reviewed a few Pho places since getting addicted to yelp! And I've checked in at the one in Vegas a bunch... Needless to say, my wife got me hooked on pho... I can't help it... It's just so Pho-king good! With that being said, we've finally arrived in our new town. El Paso.... Immediately Sakino found a pho place. Short and sweet: Food: average to good Price: normal pho price Service: friendly and fast Establishment: actual pretty nice! They even have outdoor coveted seating with a very trendy lookin koi pound with huge koi and mini water fall! Unfortunately, after the nice setting wears off, it's back to the food. 3 star. Not the best but not the worst. We decided 1 time per month will be our standard here. いただきます read more

worst pho place in El Paso . food is ok but customer service needs revamping. manny their manager on site allows the servers to just seat who they want instead of following the sign up roster. they skipped my party of 3 to serve 2 other parties of 2. I had requested a booth and they had seated the other party of two in booths and told me a had to wait. There was a dirty booth open and instead of cleaning it up the manager manny just sat there looking clueless. foof is not great for poor customer service. I drove 5 min down the road and was seated right away. will never go back to this mediocre restaurant. read more

Our family went in for dinner and 4 employees sitting in the front failed to greet us or even acknowledge us. After about 3 minutes we asked the servers if we had to seat ourselves and they replied "we have to sweep a table". We waited an additional 30 seconds while they fumbled around, continuing to ignore us and not giving us any update on a table status. We were very disappointed. We did not stay to eat and will not be returning. I hope this isn't typical behavior and I hope everyone else has a better experience! read more

This is Great place to eat. Fried ice cream to die for. The atmosphere is so soothing. Koi pond is always a great way to start meal.

Service was nonexistent. Attitude of staff was apathy bordering on antipathy. Don't use your imagination about what is going on in the kitchen. But hey, at least it's next door to an adult toy store. read more

This was our first trip to El Paso and we just wanted some decent food before we called it a day. I must say Pho Tre Bein surprised us and we were glad we came here. The place was fairly crowded when we walked in. We always like that! The interiors were good, I wont say great but the ambience is much better than many Asian places I have visited. We ordered a Lychee juice, curry tofu, vegetarian egg roll and fried potato and soy meat. The lady who served us was really sweet! Which really made us feel we were in the right place. The food was extremely flavorful, especially the curry tofu was so yum and comforting. Everyone around was having Pho so I am hoping to come back again for having their pho :) read more

Fantastic classic pho spot that felt like a rare find in this town. I got a small 011 (rare brisket) pho and it still came with a lot of noodles, amazing soup, and plenty of meat. They are also fairly generous with the basil, lime, and bean sprouts, which further lifted the flavor of the broth. Really hit the spot on a chilly evening! If you're not familiar with Vietnamese food, I'd recommend the char-boiled pork vermicelli. My friends who were intimidated by the new experience of Vietnamese food greatly enjoyed it (: (But really, pho is classic. I urge you to try it next time!) read more

Looks like a hole in the wall, but the service was great and the bowl of Pho was HUGE! Some of the best egg rolls we have had. We will go back. read more

I use to come here all the time, it use to be the "best" you can get in the city years ago until Pho 24 on Lee Trevino opened ;) It's ok for El Paso standards, but definitely not the best by any measure. If you want good pho, you'll find one in larger cities like Houston, California or New York that have a larger Asian community. You will taste the difference. At Pho Tre Bien they will give you pho with non pho noodles, and no one realizes this. I was married to Vietnamese man, I know! Vietnamese food was my main diet for 11 years. Each Vietnamese soup has different noodles, pho has thicker flat noodles or thin flat noodles. Spicy beef noodle soup or bun bo hue has thicker round noodles. They actually taste a little different, they are made different as well. Also the garnish they give isn't traditional, they will give the mint leaves and Vietnamese garnish to Asian customers not "westerners" So ask for the mint when you order spicy beef noodle soup or make sure they give you the correct noodles for the soup dish you ordered. read more

It's is definitely a whole in the wall type of place but the setting is so nice with the pond outside.We went on a colder day and sat outside it was prefect. The portion sizes are bigger then expected if you get a regular it's more like a medium but it so good it doesn't matter either way. read more

The food is amazing and always tastes fresh it's amazing and can't find it like that in any other place. The service is great frequent check ups and servers have smile on face always. The restaurant itself has a clean and modern vibe while at the same time it feels welcoming. I totally recommend this place the trip was worth it. read more

I'm disappointed that i just drove over 100mi to stop and eat here. I haven't had any good Vietnamese food in a while. Was really looking forward to dining on the outdoor patio. I was approached with a thermometer. I said "no". I cannot account for whom that has touched. Looked up local regulations. Nothing stating my temp needs to be taken for outdoor service. Local regulations stated employee temps need to be taken. Yet, the young latin female (not the young Asian female) wanted to be pushy with me about complying. Not going to happen. Let her know i would spread the word for her. Called to follow up with manager. Same latin female answered. Claimed there was no manager on site. As a former auditor, i find this interesting. There is always someone left in charge( on site )in case of inspection, and certified to ensure food safety and cleanliness standards are met. read more

I'm sitting here with my food while my friend is watching me eat. It's been more than 15 minutes. I feel rude but I'm hungry.

I was unimpressed with the food here. I expected flavorful food and received very mediocre food that was flat in seasoning and spice. I love Vietnamese food and this is definitely a first time that I was uninterested in finishing my meal. I ordered the Spicy Beef Soup and shrimp spring rolls. The décor is nice. I was absolutely shocked at how dirty the floors were. It was almost as if there was a torrential downpour outside and people were tracking mud into the restaurant. Unfortunately, it hadn't rained, the floors were just completely disgusting for no reason. The restroom had black tracked marks all over the floor. It reeked of urine and the toilets are old and dirty. The sinks had hair everywhere and there was hair all over the floor. There was an employee taking a phone call in the restroom. She was loud and in the way. The restaurant floor was just as disgusting as the restroom floor. There was hair and old food underneath our table. Unfortunately, I was attempting to pick something up that was dropped (post-meal) and saw the nice collection of hair and food. I also had to take my napkin and clean old food of our table. Or waitress was nice and understanding when the wrong food was ordered and one of us needed to exchange an order. Overall, I give it a 2 because of the lack of cleanliness and the mediocre food. read more

We waited for a table, standing for 40 minutes (along with 5 other parties) due to limited wait-list seating. This is despite multiple tables being open and available. For 40 minutes we saw *zero* tables get served food. Ultimately, we got frustrated and just walked out. Very confused how they're still in business. read more

The place was very cool I like the atmosphere and the koi pond. The staff is friendly and the restrooms are clean. I think the Pho is a little pricey but the portion was good. I'm just cheap. Great place to take a date or family for sure. There is even a piano! read more

This is my go-to pho joint here in EPTX. I've gotten the spicy beef noodle soup, combination pho, and spring rolls. Large portions and you feel full and happy at the end of your meal. Everything there was extremely flavorful and each dish was paired with tangy pickled and light/fresh vegetables and garnished with beautiful herbs. All dishes were balanced with spices, chilis, and lemons/limes and all the things I had here were very characteristic of most authentic Vietnamese dishes. This is going to be on my rotation of restaurants in the area. 10/10 would 100% recommend. read more

Taste is okay. Orders the large size Rare steak noodle soup. The steak beef has only about five pieces and very thin cut. Ended up have to order another 2 beef($3 each). And another side Noodles($2). Busy getting rid of the flies the whole meal. Bill is $24. read more

Basing this on the fact that I came in 45 minutes before closing. I got the Pho Dac Biet (#16) Staff - Very friendly. Vegetables/Garnishes - Cilantro and sprouts on my plate was not appetizing. 3/4 of the dish I was given, the cilantro had wilted and gone bad while the sprouts were browned and looked like it had been sitting out for at least the day. Pho (Broth) - This could be because of the time I arrived or it's their version of the broth, but you can definitely tell that it was either 1) near the bottom of the barrel for the broth and it was much more oily and rich having sat the bottom all day OR 2) their broth base is heavy on the use of rich OC/beef bone broth. For those who are Vietnamese, the broth is the most important part of Pho and this was meh. Pho (Ingredients) - There was plenty of vermicelli in the "Large" bowl I got. Again, this might be from them rationing the types of meats they have remaining at the end of the night, but there was way more tripe and 1/4 cut beef balls in there than rare beef flanks and the well done beef cuts. EXTRA CHARGE - Having grown up in Orange County, I've had the best of the best outside of actual Vietnam and have eaten at Pho places around the country in several states. Never have I ever been charged extra for asking for a small serving of onions soaked in vinegar. It was just $1.50 but I thought it was very bad business to charge me without telling me and to do it when industry standards say you don't charge for that. Final Thoughts - Overall, it wasn't a bad bowl of Pho. Especially for where we are in the country (El Paso). With that said, I've definitely had better in the El Paso/Las Cruces area. read more

Love, love, love their Pho... Since Covid we been ordering Take away and the Pho is always Perfect in it's blend of spices. My husband orders the brisket and I order the chicken. Sometimes they are out of chicken, so I order the Tendons. What can say, it's fresh, Tasty and with mung beans, Cilantro, onions and jalapeno slices, once everything is combined, you are ready to eat an Amazing Bowl of Delicious Pho... We order the Pho at least once a week and we never get bored and we even order it in the Summer, we just turn on the AC a little cooler to enjoy that Beautiful Aromatic Broth and all the goodies that go into it. They are always consistent with and we just Love it. I have thought of trying other things but, I never get bored of this Delicious Pho. Support Local, People. read more

This place has a really great set up. There's koi fish in the outside patio and the staff is very inviting. The food is definitely fresh and place was very clean. The meal has a good ratio of meat/ veggies. The only thing I'd say is that it can get a little pricey. Other than that this place is great. read more

In terms of authentic Pho, this is the most flavorful broth you're going to find. I've tried other Pho places in EP and this is by far my favorite broth. Definitely not the MOST authentic pho, but the best I could find here in EP. I'm Vietnamese American, so I know good Vietnamese food. Service: It took us a while to get seated and service was admittedly slow. That's the biggest reason for the star down. It took us around 20 min to get seated and our food took around 30 minutes. The server we had initially was nice, as with the one who ended up taking over. I did find it kind of weird that we weren't warned that we were switching servers - in other establishments the customers are given a heads up and introduction whenever there is a switch. That just caused some minor confusion. Food: I feel like the summer rolls here are pretty dang pricey for how many you get, my opinion. Summer rolls are pretty easy and cheap to make. I got the pho dac biet and my husband just got the beef. Broth was definitely delicious, I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the broth IS quite oily for pho. I'm just not used to that. I feel like they were a bit stingy on the meat as well, but it's not uncommon for pho places to be that way. I also ordered the soy milk, which is authentic. It was great! A little too much ice, but I can't complain too much. Ambiance: It's a pretty cute setup they have there. They have a covered outdoor area with a fountain that's cute. We didn't get to sit there as it was raining that day. The inside is clean and pretty open and spacious. It was raining pretty hard that day so the room was pretty humid. We also went on a Sunday night, so the place was packed. Overall, would I go back? Yes, I think I would. In terms of overall ranking vs some of the best I've had around the USA, this would be a 3/5, but it's El Paso, not exactly a high viet community here, haha. read more

Never thought I would be leaving a bad review in this place but here we are. I am very very disappointed in what happened to this place, taste wise, service... but mostly the food. I will place a picture of their fried rice, which is usually yellow in color that can possibly be the turmeric but this one was different in flavor and in color. It was so bland which was very surprising considering I had it last week and it was how it usually tastes and looks. Also the tofu wasn't even seared on all sides! Next I had gotten the tofu banh mi as well and it only had onions inside and no other vegetables... considering that this sandwich doesn't even come with onions. The last item I got was a tofu vermicelli and it looked fine but it tasted so bland no matter what I put... and the thing is they forgot the sauce that comes inside that dish. I had to go to a different location 20 mins away to pick up the sauce. The last and final thing is the price, I wouldn't mind paying that price now or even the increase prices if they were consistent but they are not. Just really upsetting for paying more than 40 dollars for the food to taste bad that we can't enjoy it. read more

We just moved to Fort Bliss (El Paso) from San Diego & were looking for a Pho restaurant. This place got good reviews, some saying that it's just as good as California pho. Uhh, WHAT? It is NOTHING like the pho back home! Soup tasted like oily water & the eggrolls tasted off, too. I guess this place would be good, if you have no expectations. The Spring Rolls were the best thing we ordered, but still not worth it. Lg Pho: $8.95 - 9.95 (San Diego: $6.95) Spring Rolls: $6.95/2 Rolls (San Diego: $3.95) Egg Rolls: $5.95/3 Rolls (San Diego: $5.95/6 Rolls) read more

Pho Tre Bien - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I ordered to take out and was the worst meal ever from Asian restaurant! The menu on the internet displayed delicious looking shrimp skewers, nice medium size shrimp with noodles, peanuts, scalons (were none), handful of peanuts...there were maybe 5 chopped up and priced at $11.95. It was actually $12.95, which isn't main issue...I advised the gal working the price was at $11.95 and she could have cared less. I get home, open up container and found about 8 popcorn shrimp, 4 to a skewer, the noodles must have come right out of the fridge with the lettuce and the shrimp were barely warm....was pathetic ...looked nothing like the pics on the internet....truly false advertising and bait and switch tactic. Will never go back or recommend this place. Anthony M. read more
