Casual, cute decor. Nice little spot to come in from the busyness of the strip district. The service was very nice and attentive. The food came out quickly and was VERY flavorful! I now love pho! Pad thai was also very good. We will be back! read more

Yesterday I ordered Pho and had it delivered with Uber Eats. The broth was great as were all the add-ins, but there were two things that weren't great. First, the meat was already in the broth and it was very tough and well done. And secondly, the noodles were all wrong. I've ordered Pho all over the world and never had skinny noodles that resembled ultra thin spaghetti. Also, I would be willing to bet they were NOT rice noodles. They were wheat noodles. The flavor was OK but the meal just wasn't satisfying because it wasn't prepared in the traditional way. I thought I'd had Pho from Pho Van before and that I liked it. Maybe they were just out of the proper ingredients and didn't say anything about it. I won't be going back there for pho. read more

Tôi rất thích nơi này, nó gợi cho tôi nhớ về quê nhà. Đồ ăn rất ngon. Tôi muốn giới thiệu.

I used to order from here a bit when I lived in Shadyside and really enjoyed it. I moved to Bellevue, Wa for almost a year and had Pho there, which is known to have really good Pho, and I think Pho Van is competitive with what I had there. Went in person recently a couple of times and it is even better in store. The broth is just fantastic. Banh Mi is also super good. I never had an issue with service myself when I went in. read more

My go-to quick and casual spot in the Strip. Grab a bahn mi to-go to eat while you walk Penn or sit down and enjoy pho with friends before you go axe throwing. Pho Van has an abundance of vegan and vegetarian options, allowing for a variety of choices for even those with dietary restrictions. Vegan broth can be a hard find, so I was beyond excited to see it on the menu. read more

Once again, if you have "Pho" in your name. I hope you got your pho broth down. But sadly it is not the case for Pho Van. This establishment is catered more toward the American palette and there is nothing wrong with that. But if you want to get authentic pho, I recommend trying a different place. I stop by for dinner after a busy day at work. Wanted to get my basic pho tai bo vien but it was no longer an option. It was either pho tai (beef) or pho dac biet (supreme) or get the pho tai and get bo vien as a side for $5 more. So for the price of $16, I was getting about 4 alices lf eyeround cut, not even tenderloin. The broth was missing the soul (the richness of the bone flavour broth) I had to add hoisin and siracha (which you should never have to add to a good bowl of pho). I was still quite hungry afterward. My coworker ordered the bun thit nuong and received an adequate portion and was quite satisfied with his meal. But I left wanting more. The service was pretty fast and courteous. If you are here give the other menu items a try and avoid the pho. read more

I genuinely enjoy the food here, coming from someone who knows how to cook Vietnamese food and growing up with my mom's home-cooked Viet food! What's even better is the atmosphere - the family running the business has brought so much life to the restaurant! I just moved back to Pittsburgh recently, so seeing this restaurant come to life has been such a pleasure. Will be back for sure! P.S. Viets love our veggies, and they always give so much! read more

The pho here is most definitely a step above your average pho place. Especially coming from an area with a lot of Asian food, this place was super authentic and delicious. I'm not sure why the average rating is 3.8 because this place is so much better than that. On top of that, the KINDNESS of the servers is top notch. On request, they gave us an extra side bowl of the brisket pho-- with broth, noodles, and meat-- for FREE. We were expecting them to charge us at least $5, but no! I wish I was a Pittsburgh local so I could come back here every week. Also, their broth deserves an AWARD on its own! I could tell they make it from scratch. If you're in the area, don't skip this place! read more

This is my go to for pho. They have a vegan option that is delicious. Great place to stop by for lunch or after yoga in the evening.

i enjoyed my dinner here! The food was excellent and the service was great. The bathroom was very clean and the table was as clean as well.

food is outstanding service is remarkable & the ambiance compliments everything. 10/10 highly recommend. Authenticity to a T.

I can't find a better beef pho that this in the PIT area. When I want pho, I go out of my way to go here. Also service is great.

Coming from WA, where pho joints are abundant and mostly delicious, I was ecstatic to find Pho Van while perusing the shops in the strip district. The place is on the smaller side but getting a table was no issue even though it was very busy. The servers were extremely nice and attentive. The spring rolls were tasty. The pho broth was literally one of the best I've ever had - and I've had a lot. I almost asked to buy broth to go but I did not. The only negative thing I have to say is that the prices are high. Will that deter me from eating here? No, but I might second guess spending that much money on soup. read more

I recently visited this restaurant and really wanted to like their pho. But I didn't care for it at all. It was probably the worst pho I ever tasted. I ordered the pho with Tofu and it had a rather sweet taste. Furthermore I had the fried tofu appetizer which was good but not great. Definitely not a place a will revisit. The waiter was friendly. The restaurant was small and lacked ambiance. Very plain. Fried TofuVegan Pho read more

This was a decent spot for Vietnamese food in Pittsburgh! They have a pretty large menu. It even had Thai food on it. My friends liked their boba a lot. I really liked the banh mi and I had the grilled chicken one. It had really good flavor and I liked how the carrots and daikon were lightly pickled in it. My friend who had the fried soft shell crab liked theirs too but it wasn't good leftover food since the bread got soggy and hard at the same time and old fried food isn't the best. The pho broth was good! The pho here is definitely on the pricier side but the bowls are pretty big. I wish they had size options so you can get a smaller one if you can't eat that much pho. This place has a decent amount of seating inside and the service is pretty fast. It seems like a family operated business too. The ambiance inside isn't the best but it was definitely nice to not be outside since it was really hot. Would definitely check this place out if you're craving Vietnamese food! read more

We had a very nice lunch here - the food was tasty, service was good - my only complaint would be that the guys I was with ordered lime aid and a mango juice and they were $6.50 each! Yikes. If I had seen the price on the menu (they said there wasn't any pricing) I probably would have told them to get water. Our lunch for 3 was over $80 - a little steep for me. read more

This place has delicious food. I like the wonton noodles soup and ribs, duck fried rice, crab Rangoon, soft shell crab, and phó. I heard that the Pho Van owner (Steve) used to own Taipei Fox Chapel and he brought his experience from Taipei to this restaurant. Since he took over Pho Van, the food here is unbelievably delicious. I highly recommend this place. Their staff is super friendly. In addition, this restaurant is clean compared to other Vietnamese restaurants read more

I have finally found my Nirvana... After moving to Pennsylvania 8 months ago I was having serious Vietnamese food withdrawals. Coming from Los Angeles I have very high standards with all food especially Vietnamese. We got to Pho Van on a late Saturday afternoon around 3:30 and we still had a 10 minute wait. Lucky for us it wasn't too cold so we waited patiently until we got our table. A quick drink order and it was time to check out the menu and make our decisions. We ordered a few appetizers of fried shrimp rolls and the fresh summer rolls. It was love at first bright, the summer rolls were so refreshing and the dipping sauce was absolutely perfect. The shrimp rolls were hot and fresh with a side of Mae Ploy sauce. Next out were our entrees, Grilled pork chop rice for my son, the grilled shrimp Bun bowl for the wife and a grilled pork Banh mi to go along with my pork and shrimp noodles (don't judge me). First off my son's pork chops were cooked and spiced perfectly and came with a fantastic homemade fish sauce. My wife's Bun bowl must have been good because I barely got a picture before she dove into it head first ( I didn't even get offered a taste). All her ingredients too were fresh and plentiful with the shrimp grilled to perfection. I did get her egg roll though since she is on a no fried food diet and I must say it was one of the best I have ever had. It was completely packed with meat and it was so juicy and crispy, absolutely amazing. My Banh Mi was also very good, the pork grilled and spiced to perfection the vegetables and herbs so fresh and snappy and the bread nicely crisp and soft at the same time. My bowl of pork & shrimp noodles was so good. The broth was chicken I believe but was so deep and rich without being overly fatty, lots of noodles and shrimp all with a side of fresh herbs as well. Overall the service was a little slow but they had limited waitresses for a completely packed restaurant. The prices were a little higher than I expected but o.k for what you got. What you got was absolutely amazing Vietnamese food with good portion size and to me that all adds up to a definite win, Aloha read more

Honestly, I'm a crazy huge fan of pho and Vietnamese food in general and Pho Van USED to be my go-to. Unfortunately, the quality of the restaurants pho seems to have declined upon renovation (and possible change in ownership). I would rave over the shrimp spring rolls, freshness of meat and authenticity of the pho broth ... however, the pho now tastes of instant soup mix and the meat doesn't taste as fresh. Still, the food is good and satisfies my pho cravings. The service is attentive and friendly, though, and they get their jobs done. I tend to tip well because the workers are dedicated to their work. My water glass never gets empty. The menu has undergone slight changes, however I'd come here again. read more

First time eating here for a friend and I after a lot of shopping in the strip district. We were seated immediately after walking in and our waitress was very attentive. My friend (who's not originally from Pittsburgh) loves pho so that's what brought us here. It was also her first time having a mango milk boba tea and she said "I just love this drink!" I ordered a mango smoothie with lychee which was delicious. We both ordered spring rolls for an appetizer and she had the pho while I had the chicken pad thai. Everything was delicious! read more

This was the first time we actually ate inside the restaurant and we were really pleasantly surprised! Ambiance and decor is ok, they played a lot of 2000s music hahaha. It's a family owned restaurant and they were all really sweet and nice. The pho broth tasted very good but I always love adding extra siracha and Hoisen sauce. Bahn mi bread was meh but overall the sandwich was very yummy. Not the cheapest but I was really satisfied after the meal and would def come back! read more

Whoever made my pho yesterday 12/21/24, I just want you to know that it was so immaculately delicious that it changed my entire day around & made it 1000 times better. I ate it for lunch and dinner yesterday, and then breakfast again this morning. The broth is the absolute perfect flavor. Please never change your recipe, this is the only spot with the perfect pho - and since I don't live in Pittsburgh, I rarely get to have it. read more

Pho Van is probably the best pho in Pittsburgh! Coming from SF, I was worried I'd have a hard time finding good pho as it is one of my favorite foods.

The workers are polite and they have Wi-Fi! I would highly recommend this place! read more

This place is really good! We have a hard time finding good food in Pittsburgh, but this place is really great. The server, I believe her name is Kim, is really sweet and kind.

I ordered the vermicelli pork skewer bowl. The portion itself looked large. The pork was marinated and had good flavor. I'm definitely a noodle person and could have used more noodles rather than bean sprouts. The roll that came with it was crispy but was missing something taste wise. I used the majority of the sauce which was decent. The staff was friendly. They currently had prices covered up so going in blind. The total for 1 dish was almost $14, not including tip which is very high read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch bite with some friends and had a great meal. I loved the beef pho and all of the funny pho puns on the walls. Service was friendly and fast! Inside was a little cold from the AC, but luckily I had a jacket. I always order dumplings and the clear spring rolls as appetizers when I eat pho and they both passed the test at Pho Van. Overall?
