The food was delicious. We got the crab Rangoons for an appetizer. I am very picky about Rangoons, and they met my expectations. For the main we got the Pho Special. The Pho broth is probably the best I have had. The chili oil here seems a lot more spicy than other places. The service was excellent, but we were the only one there. The restaurant itself is nice and has banners that tell the origin story of the food. read more

Pho Viet - Pho Viet Special - Vietnamese Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Tried this spot today and it absolutely delivered. The egg rolls were hands down some of the best I've had -- perfectly crispy, flavorful, and paired great with the sauce and fresh vegetables. The crab rangoons were fresh, crunchy, and cooked perfectly. But the real star of the meal was the pho. The broth was deep, rich, and incredibly clean with so much flavor without feeling heavy. Everything came out piping hot, the noodles were perfect, and the meat was tender and fresh. You can tell the broth takes time and care to make. The atmosphere was another huge plus. Open concept, plenty of seating, clean environment, and overall just a really comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Service was quick and the food came out fresh and hot. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're craving good pho and authentic flavors. This one is going into the rotation for sure. read more

Still looking for something new in terms of a catfish sandwich staying in keeping with the Lenten season, but the Vietnamese Sandwich caught my eye. My usual wait- staffer was on vacation, but another wait staff was pleasant, cheerful and expeditiously took my order. The best part of the Vietnamese Sandwich was the toasted, fresh and well seasoned bun served with fresh veggies and roasted pot belly. The pot belly's outside skin was too chewy for my taste, but good. The overall atmosphere was calm allowing me to take in the scrumptious seasoning of my sandwich. read more

My cousin and I was in the mood for soup and recommended this restaurant nearby. I checked out the menu and noticed they have the hot stone bowl. Restaurant is located in a strip mall, there's a ton of free parking to choose. Restaurant is good size and clean. The server greeted us when we entered and told us to sit anywhere. They had a lunch rush but we didn't mind. My pho came out piping hot and the meats on the side. Surprised there's an egg, I don't add eggs to my pho. Broth was delicious, we enjoyed our meal. read more

It's great to have a Vietnamese on the west side of town. Food is comparable to the east side Vietnamese restaurants. Location is clean. If you get stone bowl pho, ask for noodles on the side so they aren't overcooked. Service definitely improved from first week of opening. Staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Quaint little place that took over China Jade. Great service and decent prices for this side of town. Love that we have this option and everything we have tried has been delicious! Food: Hanoi Pork and Vermicelli special platter (like lettuce wraps)- 5/5 Personal Hot Pot with Tom Yum broth- 4/5 Shrimp Cream Cheese- 4/5 Lad Na (which was really good but more like Chinese Chow Fun, the Chinese version of Lad Na) I really liked this one- 5/5 Mi Hoanh Thanh- 3.5/5 it's good just basic for me compared to other places, but it's a good soup. I just prefer pho, bun Bo hue etc Avocado Smoothie- 5/5 fresh avocados and not too sweet. Chicken Wings with Garlic Butter Sauce- 4/5 tasty and crunchy! Stone Pot Pho- 4/5 delicious!! Banh Mi (Cold Cuts)- 3.5/5 it's good! read more

One of the best pho spots in DSM. The stone pho bowl is a must try, the broth is amazing and everything is super fresh so it can cook inside of the stone bowl. Also try the beef rib with rice, very good with so much flavor and a side a broth soup. Don't leave without trying their mocktails all 3 of them are amazing, fresh and delicious. The service here is great very warm and welcoming. Cute little spot make sure to check it out. read more

Finally a pho restaurant next to my home if you're looking for a great pho in West Des Moines this is a great one to try during their soft opening. They had free drinks so we were able to try more than one type. The stone bowl pho was interesting I never had a raw egg to add although the egg never really fully cooked (I'll pass). The noodles sitting in the bowl too long had overcooked the noodles so eat fast. I also went back to try the regular pho without the stone bowl and the noodles were undercooked. Considering they're brand new I would say I give it some time before returning until they get situated, otherwise give them some patience. read more

As a Viet person, I can recommend this restaurant! Grilled Pork Banh Mi The meat was a different consistency than what I'm used to, but it has good flavor! The fried green onion in oil tasted so good and something I only see in Viet homes, never in a Viet restaurant. That tells me there is intentionality with flavor here. Good bread as well, which is very important for us Viets lol. Literally what "Banh mi" means. Pho Viet Special Though it looks cool, it's a little gimmicky for me. With the amount of noodles in the bowl and food on the side, it's less balanced in portions in my opinion. My friend got it, but I can't see myself getting it. He ran out of broth before he got through his food. Beef in a Leaf Surprisingly so much flavor! Would highly recommend getting this. One order was enough for 4 people to share. Combination Pho Def recommend getting this. Broth was good, better than what we have in Omaha. Meat and noodles were good portions too. Other Service was good and I talked to the owner at the end and maybe her daughter as well. Very sweet people. Would I go back? Definitely! read more

We stopped in this place to give it a try. There used to be a very bad chinese restaurant here before. We started with shrimp and cream cheese rolls and boy were they good! Then I ordered the beef Pho it was flavorful and the meat and noodles were quite plentiful too. My mother had the pork pad Thai and she really liked it. She said the pork was so plentiful she was so surprised with the amount in the portion. The restaurant was clean and bright. It was however extremely cold in there. The service was fine. All in all if you are the area it totally is worth a try! read more

Pho Viet - Great new spot for me to frequent during my Des Moines work trips. This is what I look for on work trips. Best I've found in the Midwest. - Vietnamese Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Everything we got did not have alot of flavor. For the pho, they gave 2 pieces of meat each and the tendon was yellow? The chicken wings were over fried, no sauce, did not taste like garlic butter. Egg rolls were meh. Like I said not a lot of flavor. They told us 15 min and we waited almost 30 min. We will not be back. Overpriced for what it is. GO TO PHO 515. Best pho in town read more

Food was excellent! Boiling hot bowl of pho! Low-key and calm ambience. This place is a hidden gem! read more

The food here is good most days, but the customer service needs serious improvement. The staff and owners come across as very rude and dismissive, and they don't honor the promotions advertised on their windows -- when asked, they just say the deals are "old." Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that I won't be returning. read more

The staff was so friendly and kind and the food was incredible! I got a personal hot pot with Tom yum broth and it was amazing. My girlfriend got the seafood pho and hers was delicious as well! Would happily recommend and we are for sure coming back! read more

Very slow service. Order was taken after 30 minutes of waiting. Food didn't arrive at table for an hour

A relatively new Vietnamese restaurant and I had some time to try it out. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming/relaxed atmosphere. As a first timer, I tried out the stone bowl Pho because it was something that I hadn't see before. I wasn't disappointed. The soup was INCREDIBLY hot. Like literally boiling as it came to the table. It was served with all the standard pho fix in's including a fresh/raw egg that you crack in. The egg turned the soup into an egg drop style broth which elevated the experience in my opinion. The broth is one of the best in the Des Moines area. The staff was great and answered any questions. If you do order this soup set some time aside because the soup stays hot for the entire time you're eating because of the stone bowl. I will be returning when they reopen. The staff also informed us that they will be closed in January and will open up in February with their full menu. read more

This place has so far the best pho I've had, and I have tried plenty! The service is amazing, they are so kind!!

Service was extremely slow, and there was no acknowledgment of how slow it was or apology. They also brought us a smoothie that we did not order and it took us 15 minutes to flag a server down to inform them this was not ours. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. read more

Food was great. We got the beef wrapped in a leaf and two vermicelli bowls and a stir fried dishes. Everything was really good. All the ingredients were fresh and we each tried the others dishes. The service was on point. Made two recommendations that helped a lot. Can't wait to go back read more

This is a great place for authentic Pho. Very attentive service and flavorful food. Also serving size was enough for my leftovers.

stone hot pho!!! amazing. Prices are pretty good too, $13-$15 for a bowl. Service was fast, and there is enough greens. The ambiance was chill, not too crowded.The place is a lil difficult go find bc it's in a corner, but besides that... amazing! read more

Fantastic service! Everyone was so nice and full of smiles. Food was full of flavor and reasonably priced. WILL be back

Hands down thee best Pho in Iowa. I've had Pho all over this state and none of them compare to Pho Viet's authentic/traditional cuisine. The service was fast and super friendly. Even the atmosphere of the restaurant was so cool! This is now my regular go to spot for Pho! Job well done pho Veit team. read more
