The food was nice and seemingly cheap but it is not. I have been duped by this place, and that really peeves me off. I had this place recommended to me, so I popped in on a lovely sunny evening. The place was quite busy, and the menu looked super cheap on 1st inspection. A main course for €7? Thank you very much! My partner and I sat down and ordered beef main courses. The waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink, and we said "no thanks, tap water would be fine". The food itself was tasty and filling and it seemed to be good value! We asked for the bill, in a good mood about our great find. What good value for €14! Then the bill arrived. €18.48, it said... Surely shome mishtake? But no, there in clear writing, €3 for our 2 glasses of tap water and a 10% service charge. This is ridiculous. The service charge, just include it in the price of the food, if we don't have a choice in leaving a tip, then it's basically false advertising not to count it in the bill. I can understand adding a service charge for large tables, given the stress and hassle this gives the staff, but for a table of 2? And they have charged €1.50 for the effort of filling a glass with free water and bringing it to our table. The glass itself probably only cost €1, and it's not like they throw them out after each use... Absolutely unbelievable.... read more

Small restaurant but was seated immediately at 8pm on a Monday night. The salad was amazing! Fresh, crispy vegetables with a light dressing. Pho was good portion, plenty of meat and broth was tasty. The only con was the bean sprouts were dirty. Pork vermicelli dish was also good. read more

Greet little spot for lunch. Had the banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake) to start, this is a great dish to share as a starter. For mains I had the pork spring roll and rice vermicelli, it was a really tasty and fresh dish, perfect for lunch. The starter was €6 and the main €7, very reasonable for the quality of the food. We were not charged for our tap water, so we did not have the same experience as a previous review. We were sitting on the ground floor, the restaurant itself is quite basic but very clean. I think it lacks atmosphere, so is more for a quick meal out. read more

I have visited this place on several occasions and i have been never disappointed. Restaurant is located in the city centre on Parnell street ( china town ). Place itself is cozy and atmosphere is very relaxed. Interior is simple but modern. Menu in Pho Viet is not as big as you would expect of asian restaurants but you get what you looking for. Good range of Pho and other traditional dishes. Staff very friendly and and prices also wallet friendly. I would recommend this place any time. read more

Pho Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Dublin, D

I came here a few weeks back with a couple of friends and though we have nothing but praises for the food, we tend to shut our mouths when it comes to one particular waiter. While we were in the middle of our dessert and tea, he seemed to be in a very big hurry to get us out of the restaurant. I understand they probably needed the table but I wouldn't be here griping away if we had been told so nicely. Instead, he asks if we were done with this and that and eventually cleared up my friend's plate when she hadn't even finished her dessert. I felt like I had overstayed my welcome so I said yes even though my cup was full to the brim and the pot still half full. You'd think he'd leave us alone after that but no. As we waited for our friend who was in the toilet, he asks yet again if we were done and I responded explaining the situation. A minute later he asks once more! I couldn't believe it and I almost snapped. He was obviously insinuating that we get up and wait outside so I explained calmly, with furrowed brows, that my friend is carrying a lot of stuff and that we also have our own heavy bags so we'll leave once she's back. At this point a lovely lady approached us asking him to stop and then offered us her apologies. TL;DR One star for the food. Another for a lovely lady who apologised to us on behalf of a very rude waiter. I agree with all the good things mentioned in previous reviews except the customer service has been the most abysmal I have ever experienced in my eight years in Dublin. I'm not saying this is true for every one of them but this has certainly discouraged me from going back anytime soon. PS The 1.50 pot is ideal for sharing as it's enormous. Do ask for extra cups. read more

Came here on a cold rainy day and the food was pleasantly good! I'm very wary of Asian food in Ireland (I was raised in San Francisco, asian food capital of the US). I have to say it's pretty decent for a bowl of pho (noodles with assorted veggies and meats) and springrolls. You can't have the same type of pho that you would have in more traditional places, but it definitely hits the spot. Although we didnt get it, the curry looks quite nice! So glad to have decent asian food here read more

Have been here twice already for Pho (Vietnamese Soup). Nothing like a comforting big bowl of beef noodle soup to warm you up on a chilly day, or help cure a hangover. So excited this place opened. I'll definitely be a regular as it's always cold, and if not, I'm probably hung over from enjoying the warm weather. Right now it's BYOB, so make sure to swing by a Spar for a bevvy. read more

Restaurant management doesn't give a toss about customer experience. There was a complaint that was dealt with really badly by the Manager (Joseph). Avoid at all cost! read more

Our food tasted delicious, the restaurant was super clean and staff very pleasant. What more can you possibly want? While they are limited, vergetarian options are available - ask staff for spring rolls without the prawns or get the vegetable curry. Two of us had a starter and a main, drank only tap water and the bill was a super reasonable €25 for both of us. Definitely going back when I am nearby. read more

We had a bit of a wait to get our food in a fairly busy restaurant, but it really was worth the wait. I ordered the beef noodle broth for a starter, which the waitress advised that it is more of a main course, so I asked for a small portion. My partner ordered the vietnamese pancakes to start. I loved that broth, I felt like I could have lifted the bowl to drink the stock! I ordered the vietnamese prawn curry for my main and my partner had Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, which was vietnamese beef and spring rolls (best he ever tasted!) The food was delicious and rinsed down with Hanio beer. The restaurant was clean and bright and lots to choose from the menu including lots of vegetarian options. You could tell that the ingredients were fresh and were prepared on the spot. Go there! read more

My first Pho was here and it was sooooo good. The portion was huge so i shared it with my friend. We also had the rice rolls with vegetables ( came with peanut sauce). It was such a nice experience, the restaurant is lovely and simple and staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend it ;) read more

Pho Viet - Finally Pho in Dublin! - Vietnamese Near Me - Dublin, D

This is, to my knowledge, the only Vietnamese place I've been in town. Thankfully the food is incredible. Although it's hard to choose with such choice on the menu, chances are you'll get something delicious. Everything I've tried is cheap and wonderful. I recommend trying the Vietnamese coffee, it's unique and amazing. Although the wonderful Kimchi is next door, give this place a shot if you're in the area. read more

Delicious, super fresh, light and healthy foods. I guess Vietnamese food is just like that in general. They have a great variety on their menu and main meals are around €9 to €11. The place seems very popular and there was a great mix of people. I had a rice vermicelli dish with grilled prawns & choice of meat. For some odd reason I wanted Tofu, so got this instead of meat. Also had a pancake thing, have no idea what it was called, but was interesting. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Pho Viet - Rice vermicelli with grilled prawns and choice of meat (I wanted tofu for some reason) - Vietnamese Near Me - Dublin, D

About 20 of us decided to pick this place for our pre-Xmas get together. We booked the upstairs function room and got a set menu for 21 Euro for 2 courses with tea or coffee. 5euro corkage fee for wine and 1euro for beer. The staff was great, very friendly and on the ball. There was no music and all our 'phone in pint glass' efforts failed so they actually brought a laptop up to us and put on some Christmas tunes. Awwww. The food arrived promptly, was hot and yummy and everyone got to eat together as in all dishes pretty much came out at the same time. That is very unusual for a large group like that. A special mention to the Vietnamese coffee which is served with condensed milk and was very very yummy! read more

Quite a nice place decor wise and service. But I really didn't enjoy the food. I had the prawns for starters which were woefully overcooked and soggy. I am guessing they were steamed? Not sure either way didn't enjoy them much. I had the Mixed Pho for main and really found the taste to be off putting. So much so I didn't really eat much of it. I have only had Vietnamese a couple of times before which I really enjoyed both times so I was a little let down this time. Maybe I should have tried something different from the menu? The other people with me seemed to enjoy their food more than me. So don't be put off by my review maybe I was just unlucky on my choices. read more

I arrived to an almost full house, was sent upstairs to an empty parlor for a seat.. I sat alone for a good few minutes. It was an awkward feeling being the sole person in a room when seats were available below I ordered an appetizer (#1 spring rolls) which were ok. The peanut sauce lacked body and flavor though. For my meal I got pho, (#10) which, in all honesty tasted bland. I was rather disappointed in the broths flavor and lack of richness that I am used to from good pho. Left almost all of my meal. Forgotten, I had to go downstairs for my bill. Lack-luster experience. read more

I ordered the Prawns and Beef Noodle and was absolutely delighted. I lived in Singapore for a year and one of our local stands did a Beef Noodle that I was addicted to. This was as close to this delicacy as I imagined I would get outside of Asia. To give a little context, in Singapore they have Hawker centres which are food vendors. Each stand does one thing that they excel at so to compare this food to that is to put it in the highest esteem. Service was grand and the whole bill for three people came to €52 - €10 of which was our corkage fee of €5 per bottle. We had 2 starters, 3 mains and 1 dessert. read more

Just had lunch in Pho Viet. Restaurant is quite plain, but very clean, staff are very friendly. I started with the delicious vietnamese rolls, lovely fresh flavours, mint is fantastic in the rolls. Then the Chicken Pho was very good also, served with fresh beansprouts, fresh chillis and fresh mint, stock had good depth of flavour. I asked for some hot chilli sauce to add, which was brought without a problem, and I was warned that it is quite hot. It was quite hot! full of chilli and garlic flavour, but very hot. Really good lunch, good value too at €15. Just the Pho would have been enough, but I really wanted to try the rolls. read more

Growing up in the Bay Area, we have a lot of great Vietnamese so I didn't have high hopes when traveling to Dublin that I would find some tasty Pho. I was wrong! This place had some great soup. The flavor of the broth was a little different than what I was used to and the noodles were a little thicker, but it was still very tasty. In typical Pho fashion, the service was fast. The waiters were very friendly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a Pho craving in Dublin! read more

I've walked by this place so many times and there are always people inside bit for some reason I kept going until last week. We walked in and got the last free table downstairs, the smell in the restaurant brought me back to Vietnam and I was excites by what others were eating. I was there with a friend and we got some cooked spring rolls between us to start. They were good, nothing amazing but tasted fresh and a good way to start For main I had the pho chicken, a Vietnamese broth woth rice noodles and chicken. On the side I was given some fresh herbs, lemon, chilli and beansprouts to add as I liked. I loved this little touch as I'm not a fan of coriander and was dreaming having to pick it out. The portion was big but I managed to finish it leaving some of the broth on the bowl. My friend went for the chicken satay, again a substansial portion with came with rice. The sauce tasted really fresh, not like the Chinese satay I order at home while nursing a hangover on a Sunday afternoon. Theres was lots of chicken and veg too. We washed it down with a beer and had one desert between us. Really good value, came to 36 euro for the lot. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu read more

Easily the best pho in Dublin. Service is great! Restaurant is clean, nice ambiance, and they have great selection. I try to come here every few weeks! Cheers! read more

This was my first time trying Vietnamese food. The food seemed okay to me. The place is pretty well decorated, and has two floors with lots of space to sit. The staff are really friendly and recommend good dishes for you, they seem really proud of their food. I ordered the Goi Tom Thit, and it was really good. However there was very little sauce provided, and I ended up taking curry sauce from my friend's dish to make it less dry. The food was well made but I might have not known what to order. read more

This is my second time here for the delicious, authentic Pho soup! Flavorful and perfectly warming comfort soup on a cold day. See photos! I just got the soup this time as it was sooo good I wanted to finish it all. Great lunch spot. read more

Couldnt choose the better day to come to this place more than my birthday so I can eat my Vietnamese food again. And I was so happy because of this decision. Food were good. I had Bun thit nuong and Goi as the starter and it were so delicious. But the best part was about their desert. Their coconut ice cream was unreal!!! But one thing that I was not so happy about was their service. Maybe because we arrived at late 8 pm already so everyone seemed to be tired and the service was quite slow. Hopefully, it could be better next time because I am more than happy to come back again :) read more

SO GOOD!! My family and I are here visiting from Los Angeles and Pho is a regular thing for us. We had a little too much to drink last night so Pho sounded great. We decided to come here and we all loved it!! So tasty and service was great! Very clean and cute place. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Craving Phö? The place to go. A nice little restaurant just outside the primary shopping area in Dublin. When the weather starts cooling down and the days are dreary, this place will warm you up and keep you going. Can't say much else other than if you're craving Phö you won't be disappointed. It has all the basics and all the additions you could want to spice up your soup. It's a simple as that. Enjoy! read more

This place is very simple. Yet do not let its simplicity alarm you. It might be simple, but it serves the best Pho in Dublin! They serve this liquid goodness in an enormous bowl, making it close to impossible to finish. So even though you only have a soup, I guarantee you will leave absolutely satisfied. This place is easy to miss, but if you want excellent Vietnamese Pho, this is the place to visit. read more

Pho Viet - Pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - Dublin, D

I love pho and have had a lot of it back home in Portland, OR. We have a large Vietnamese population, so the pho is legit. I was so happy to find a pho restaurant in Dublin. And, I was pleasantly surprised with my food. I ordered the spring rolls to start. They were simple and good. Had the basic Pho Tai for the main. The broth is heavy on the Chinese 5 Spice end. Not usually my fav for pho, but it was done well and I enjoyed every bite of it. Wish there was a bit of fresh basil to add to the soup, but it was quite tasty without. The staff was really nice. The menu is marked for gluten. I'll definitely be going back again. read more

Not such a cosy place and there was a very bad toilets smells. But the staff was very friendly. Big portions, you're not gettig out of there with an empty stomach. You're mostly getting out of there with a very good feeling of eating healthy food. I had ordered the vegetable spring rolls as starter which was nice. I had then ordered the famous pho which is a Vietnamese noodle soup but I haven't been overexcited by this. However, I went there with a vietnamese friend and he said this was the best vietnamese place in town. read more

Went here for a group dinner of twelve people recently and it was fantastic value. We all brought our own wine/beer and ordered a very ample main dish each. I had the pork with spring rolls which was delicious, not too spicy and very filling. The staff were quite friendly considering we were a big annoying group and it took about half an hour to get us seated. They didn't even rush us when we were the last ones out. It came to about 15 a head. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a very new restaurant; it has a smell of fresh paint so an early review should be treated with caution.. It's on a street in Dublin that, in the past twelve years, has become known as Chinatown because every second shop or restaurant is an Asian store or a Mandarin style restaurant. It grew up to cater for the new, immigrant 'student' mainland Chinese population and so the cuisine is, for the most part, designed for home from home comforts and very cheap. There are a few Korean and Thai restaurants too but this is the first Vietnamese. The menu is limited to a range of Pho beef soups with rice vermicelli; prawn, pork and beef with vermicelli and combinations of prawn, pork or beef with boiled rice. I had the fresh spring rolls, a Viet speciality, and they were delicious. The pork and prawn (shrimp) with rice combination was a tad overcooked but tasty. I got the impression they'd been cooked, possibly on a skewer, and over a hot brazier. There is no alcohol license yet so we had to do with tea and soft drinks or water. Some customers brought their own. The price was ridiculous; my friend tried the fried spring rolls and Pho beef soup. The soup had a lot of vermicelli and thinly cut brisket meat, a little steak and not a whole lot of flavouring. He was not impressed. The price was ridiculous at €22 for the two of us, which, given the location and its target custom, was not surprising. The service, it must be said, was both friendly and enthusiastic if a tad inept. There's a small room on the ground floor but we were led upstairs where the bare setting and harsh lighting did nothing to enhance the experience. read more

Doesn't look amazing from the exterior but inside it's clean and the pho was delicious. Very authentic and staff was friendly and fast. We hope to get to go back again during our stay. If you're unsure if you'll like Vietnamese soup, don't be afraid; it's basically chicken noodle soup or beef and noodle soup. Great for Dublin on a rainy, grey day! Try the egg rolls- they were crisp and light. read more

Pho Viet was an overall pleasant experience, and good change from the standard Dublin Fish and Chips. But the ambience isn't great and the staff seemed distracted although there weren't many other clientele. We had the prawns with chili sauce to start, which were oook but would probably try something else next time. My beef pho soup had a really nice hearty both, but the meat was fatty- and beware, they not have the real ceramic ramen spoons because apparently 'all of them broke in the dishwasher'. Eating pho with regular spoon and fork proved tough and awkward. My girlfriend had a shrimp curry, which she liked but I found overly spicy (granted, I have a low tolerance and she is rolling her eyes at me now hahah). read more
