Mayport and its hidden gems ! What a lovely surprise to find this place so close by. It was a rainy and cold night yesterday so my friend suggested ordering takeout at this local business. So my experience and rating is based off of my takeout. We called ahead and ordered number 9. It was ready within 15 minutes bagged and nice & hot! The employees were kind and quite friendly to us when we came to pick up our food. The place itself looked comforting and I wouldn't mind dining in as well. Our meal was so fresh and delicious! Scrumptiously fresh veggies and good quality meat. So Pho Viet, I will be coming back real soon! Thanks for setting up camp in Mayport! So appreciative for you all . read more

Pho Viet - Entrance - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

Quiet and intimate seating inside as well as a couple tables outside. I haven't had anything that I haven't liked on their menu. My husband loves the sandwiches and they are only 4.50! Just be careful of the jalapeños because they are extremely spicy!! I always get the soup. A large is huge and it's a great deal for 11$ vs a small for 9$. The cooks are authentic but the service is lacking. 5 star food but deduct one star for poor servers. Update:: Entirely new staff! Great service and the food is always amazing read more

Great Pho! Best I've had in the JAX area. Rare beef and brisket is my favorite but they are all so good. Wife likes the chicken fried rice

Pho Viet is definitely a place that you can go without any planning or worries. No need to dress fancy or worry about a long wait. I came here with a friend because I wanted to review a new place. From the beginning the customer service was on point and I can appreciate that. The dumplings A-5 were a fail for us, I mean the Sriracha made it better but the flavor wasn't there. They brought me out the wrong Pho, and instead of adding more meat (Brisket and rare steak) they just took the meatballs and tripe out. So basically I ordered a large P-9 with the meat of a small?... hmmmm I will say that the broth wasn't bad, I can't say it was the best I've ever had but it wasn't the worse. My friend got full off of his short ribs, rice, egg and side of pork chop and I enjoyed the two shrimp that came with his meal. read more

It's a small family run place. I usually order takeout. The rare steak pho is soul warming. The sandwiches have the best bread. The egg rolls are delicious. I am a regular read more

Restaurant looks clean and inviting. Nice decorations and tastful art. The wait staff are freindly and polite. I wouldn't rate this as a 1 $, more of a 2 $.. a smal bowl of Pho is $9, a large is $10... The menu selection is adequate and suits many tastes. I was dissapointed in my dish, it is a Special fried rice with pork, beef and shrimp. My big plate came with what tasted like just overcooked rice and only had 2 small shrimp and the plate was $12...not what I was hoping for. read more

5 stars for outstanding pho. Plain and simple. No frills, no fuss, just an unassuming joint off Mayport that specializes in pho and other Vietnamese dishes. And as I tend to mention, the value for the price is just insane. My "large bowl" ran $9. C'mon! I will say that my better half didn't enjoy her meal as much as I did, but I came for one thing and one thing only, and that's Pho w/ rare steak and brisket. Of all the pho I've consumed in my life, the steak here was the rarest of them all. Pho Viet understands that the meat will cook in the broth. And for that I thank you! The broth was really flavorful, the meat was cooked perfectly and the proper accoutrements were delightful. My hankering for pho will always be a part of me, so it's nice to know I have an excellent option just down the road. read more

Pho Viet - Everything in its right place. - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

I love this place. Great food and atmosphere. Amazing food. Rice combos are to die for. Pho bowls are flavorful and great portions of meat. Fried rice plates are properly flavored and never overcooked. My party of five had absolutely no complaints. And the one with the tofu stir fry said it was perfect. I have always recommended this restaurant to every out of town visitor I get. I absolutely highly recommend checking this restaurant out. Best Vietnamese restaurant in all of Jacksonville read more

If you love Pho, you have to try this place. It is by far the best Pho we have ever had. Service is excellent as well.

Place is small and it can get crowded really fast. Food is awesome. Best in town definitely. I drove 25 min just to eat there.

Very nice waitress, and very accommodating. The restaurant is small, but nicely decorated. Prices are very affordable, good amount of food, would come back again read more

We always have takeout and love it! Pho can't be beat! We can't say enough good things about Pho Viet!

I can't believe I've lived in Jacksonville on and off for 12 years and never been here. This was my first visit and I was very impressed. On rainy days I always love to eat soup. And, today I was in the mood for Pho. The restaurant is located in a strip mall on Mayport Road. They don't have many tables inside. It's a small restaurant and fills up quickly. I arrived at 8:45 and it was busy. I loved their rare beef Pho. I've never had it where the beef was actually served rare and stacked in the middle of the soup. I really loved how they present this soup. You can cook the beef to your preferred temperature using the hot broth. The broth itself was very tasty and not too salty. This was one of the best Pho soups I've had in Jacksonville. It met all three of my dining requirements. Quality, quantity and easy on the purse. I could not believe it was only $9. The staff were super friendly and the service was great. I will be sure to return the next time I have a Pho craving. Great find. read more

Pho Viet - Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

Absolutely superb! Our family has been there dozens of times over the years and never had an issue with the food or service. The Pho is a favorite of mine as is the Lotus Root Salad. If you have never had a Lotus Root Salad then please try this very tasty appetizer. It has a slight spiciness to it that I enjoy as well. Nothing overwhelming, even my wife who hates spicy foods loves it. read more

My first time to a Viet Restaurant and i could not have done any better in my book. I walked in and told them i had never had Viet food before can you suggest they gave gave Stir Fry with Noodles (Rice with Beef, Pork, Chicken and Spicy). Then I wish I had asked them which soup but it was made with Egg noodles and Lots of fresh Veggies and Pork and Spicy, LOVED IT but huge if you order soup make it your main course! read more

Y'all. If you live anywhere near AB or Mayport or the Beaches period, or actually just anywhere in Jax, you must stop by this little gem Pho Viet immediately now that we have "cold" weather. Easily the best pho in Jax. Cozy little spot tucked away in a shopping center with a great local Cuban restaurant (Sugar Cane) and diner (Dano's). Always great service. Great prices. Pho is the cure to all your problems. Got get some. read more

I have been eating here for years, my only complaint has always been the rude lady that answers the phone and changes the hours based on her "lunch hour" today it was 330pm to 5pm. Even when you call ahead, you can't get food. Try and order over the phone, you can't get food. When you actually CAN get food it's delicious, however...I have no idea how she is still in business closing on days she says she open, changing hours that don't match her door hours nor online hours. It's extremely frustrating, I've been in here when other people are working and the experience is pleasant...always is. It's down right infuriating. how can you support a business that has hours based on one woman's mood? read more

Dude it is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -7yr old son But for real we love this place. The food is amazing the owners are such kind and welcoming people. We have had soup, fried rice, stir fry, spring rolls in both forms. Every single item is fresh and perfect. Always hot and yummy!! read more

Fresh and tasty Great friendly service by the owner of this family run restaurant A pearl on Mayport Rd

I have never had Pho and I have wanted to try it. I pass this place daily and decided to stop in for some soup to go. I ordered the large vegetable and tofu. Even though I eat meat, I wanted veggies tonight. The young girl behind the counter was so sweet and helpful. I got it to go so excuse my container. There was a lot to put into one bowl and it was delicious! I will be a regular! read more

Pho Viet - Vegetable and fried tofu Pho soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

One of the best pho that I can find in Jacksonville beach area. I ordered pho many times for this restaurant and always love it. I tried a lot restaurants before and disappointed with their food. This restaurant is so different, it is not only their food is so original and price is also very reasonable. If you order the food from here, try the Thai ice tea. It is one of my favorite drink in summer time. read more

Stopped by on a whim with a couple of friends and it was really delicious with good service. Got some pho and fried rice.

My go-to pho spot! I crave pho usually multiple times a week, but only let myself order take out 1 time per week - this is always where I go. The staff is nice and the food is delicious!! They also have great fried rice and other Vietnamese specialties. This place gets slammed around lunch time so be prepared to wait or call your order ahead! read more

Pho Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

Went in on 7-13-19 around 3pm with my son and husband. We all had P17 small rare steak. They are cheap and give you the least amount of meat. You can tell the Siracha is watered down. 30 mins after eating we were hurling our brains out at home. This establishment is not clean. We have visited this restaurant multiple times but yesterday was the worst we have ever felt from food poisoning . Sadly we won't be returning again read more

Not friendly. Asked for a high chair and the woman said "we don't do that here". To which I replied "what?" In a confused manner. She then said "wait 2 minutes, I busy now" and proceeded to dismiss me. This happened as soon as I walked in with my son and husband and we immediately felt unwelcome so we decided to leave. I was upset because I was excited to try Pho again since we hadn't had any since living out of the country for the past 2 years. Unfortunately for them we went across the parking lot to the Juicy crab where the service was impeccable and spent lots of money there. Could've been them but The juicy crab was so worth it! Also there was a huge dead cockroach outside of the Pho restaurant. So maybe it was a sign that we shouldn't eat at their establishment anyway. read more

This is one of those places that you don't want everyone to know about, but then you feel guilty for hoarding good pho for yourself. Tucked away in a mayport strip mall, this pho place keeps it simple. The rare steak is pho-nominal. The broth here is more beefy as opposed to over spiced with anise. When I first brought the significant other he wasn't wild about it, but after convincing him to give it another shot he agreed that it is one of the better pho places in Jacksonville. Keep your eyes peeled for jags players as they are known to frequent here. I've also enjoyed the grilled pork vermicelli which is flavorful without being over complicated. read more

If you're ever in the mood for some good pho this is the place to get it. Sweet lady that runs the place.

There were good things and bad... 1st visit: we got B1 (rice vermicelli w grill pork) It was ok. not bad but didn't stand out. We also ordered taro bubble tea and it was bad. The taste was off and there was barely any bubbles! And the few bubbles that we did get was not fresh and clumped together and hard. Trust me, I've had hundreds of taro bubble tea and this may be the worst. Service was eh. Didn't offer us water, I guess cause we had our bubble tea? One of the boys gave us our food but never gave us utensils. smh.. We waited a min to see if he would be back with it. nope, hubby had to get up and ask him for it. Most of the reviews here say their pho is great. So after our first visit I said we'll give them 1 more chance... We ordered take out this time. We got the Large Pho Special. When I opened the containers I was very disappointed. The portions were small. I've never had a large order be so small. I felt like I got ripped off. BUT....... the flavor was there. It was actually very good. And I finished it fast and wanted more... but there was no more. :( All-in-all: If I'm really dying for pho I'll go there but they are NOT my first choice. MY favorite is still PHO TODAY near tinseltown. Have not had one bad meal there. It's a shame there are so many things that we didn't like about this place but from all the other yelpers... they love it. So go and see for yourself and let us other yelpers know... read more

After Katie C.'s review, I just HAD to try this place. I love Bahn mi and spring rolls, and am picky about both. First of all, I couldn't stop salivating as I slowly read the menu items. My bf and I kept looking at the Yelp pictures and menu to decide what we wanted to try. We opted to go simple this first round: Drinks: vietnamese lemonade. I'm not sure how this was supposed to be a lemonade when there were obvious lime slices in my drink. Nonetheless, I didn't question it because it was quite delicious! :) Tasted almost like limeade. It took a while for them to make it because they had to actually squeeze the lemons / limes. Appetizer: spring rolls. You get 2 rolls. They are cut in half so it looks like 4 small rolls. It comes with a peanut dipping sauce. I personally like to add some of the chili sauce with the peanut sauce to give it a kick! :) Lunch: bahn mi with pork and special noodle soup. The bahn mi was good, but not the best I've ever had. However, for $4, I'll get it again :) The soup that my bf ordered was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it. I felt like a lil piggy eating his soup AFTER I finished my sub. LOL They gave a side of fresh sprouts and basil leaves to add to the soup, which added a wonderful layer of complexity and flavor. A lil info about the environment. The restaurant is situated in a strip mall (same side as Nick the Greek). The seating area is small. They had about 8 tables that fit 4 people per table. 2 of those tables were situated in the middle of the room to accommodate bigger parties. The tables were already outfitted with all your essentials (sriracha sauce, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce, chili sauce, chop sticks, soup spoons, and napkins). They also have a TV, which was convenient because we got to watch the first quarter of the Jags football game :) Not sure if anyone noticed, but they have a small altar by the register. Educational info: "The Vietnamese attach great importance to two traditional family obligations: to care for their parents in their old age and to worship them after death. In each Vietnamese family has at least one altar on which there are the pictures of their ancestors. Family members worship their ancestor because they think parents after death will go to live in another world and this altar is the place where the ancestors' soul live in. As a result, every day, Vietnamese people not only lay the table for meal but they also lay the food on the altar for the belief that those ancestors will have a meal with them."

I have been coming here for years and absolutely believe it is the best Vietnamese food in Jacksonville. I have tried other places previously and the flavors and the little extra things just weren't there. Details matter greatly, I think pho Viet puts in those details and makes sure you get more than your money's worth. No matter how popular that have become, they have always kept the quality and care. Every time I walk in they remember my name and ask about my life, I think it's special, I feel like I'm going to my moms house for dinner, so safe and comfy. Honestly, you are missing out if you haven't tried this place, you will go once and crave it the second you leave! Good people, good staff, true care for costumers and the amazing food they create. read more
