Been wanting to come here forever, literally something in my gut kept on telling me to go, so we finally went to try it out today. Let me tell you this Pho was the best Pho I have had in years! So good, so so worth it! We also tried the Eggroll appetizers and they were so crunchy and delicious! The fish sauce pairs well with them. I have to go back to try out the rest of the menu! Service was fast, our waiter was a young man, super nice & courteous. Quiet atmosphere, but not the weird quiet, it's the I'm enjoying this delicious dish quiet. Iykyk! Yes, the building may look like it needs attention as well as some tables inside, but trust me the food is 10/10! You have to try them out! read more

The exterior of the building where this Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant is located leaves much to be desired. It has no fancy restaurant front, no fancy landscaping, no nice trimmed green grass, and the two handrails of the three cement steps going up to the entrance door are rusted and almost falling down. Yet the small parking lot in front of the place is often full of cars during lunch and dinner time. But since it is often these hole in the wall restaurants that have the best ethnic foods, I decided today to go try it out. Just above the restaurant's building one can see the beautiful Mill Mountain in all its splendor with the green color of the Spring and above it, the Roanoke Star, highlighted by a beautiful blue sky high above it. You can appreciate this more by viewing my photographs that accompany this review. After I entered the restaurant through two simple glass doors, the inside of the restaurant was clean, with its walls painted white, its floor tiles nice and shiny, and its decor in the minimalist style with only nice looking furniture and nice original paintings and artworks evenly spread around the walls of the restaurant. It had large windows in the front that brought in bright light. Next to the windows and walls were dark red color booths and in the middle of the dining room were tables and chairs. As soon as I entered I was warmly greeted by a young man behind the host's station, who welcomed me with a big smile, handed me a copy of the menu, and asked me to take a seat at the table of my choice. After walking around I went and sat at a table that I not only could feel comfortable, but was situated in a central location with good light so I could observe the restaurant well and be able to take well lit photographs of the food items as soon as I was served and while enjoying my dining experience. The same host doubled as my server, and came by my table with a happy smile to see if I was ready to order. To drink I ordered the CAFE SU ADA, a Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk. As appetizer I ordered Ha Cao, Deep Fried Pork Dumplings served with mixed fish sauce. I also ordered their Goi Cuon Tom 2 Cuon, a shrimp, lettuce, and noddle rolled up with a rice paper, and served with peanut butter sauce. As the main course I ordered their Com Suon, Steamed Jasmine Rice with a Grilled Pork Chop. While ordering I talked with the server and he told me that this was a family owned and run business, together with the AA Asian Market that was inside the same building with an entrance from the restaurant. His mother seemed to be the cook, and his father in charge of running the Market. Through my experience I have found that this is very tipical in many ethnic groups restaurant businesses. The food all came out at once, even though I told my server that I would like my appetizers first. So I would recommend you order the appetizer first and after you're done eating it then order your main course, so the second doesn't get cold and you have more time to enjoy both while conversing with your guests. Everything was delicious: the dumplings, the pork, and the shrimp roll, although I found the rice paper a bit too thick and sticky, making it a bit difficult to handle. The sauces accompanying the food were also extremely good tasting. When I asked what they had for dessert, my server walked to the Market and brought me one of their popular desserts. Not knowing what it was, I ate it anyway. The sweet sauce was good but I didn't care much for the pieces of some type of pieces of a vegetable it had inside. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a wonderful Vietnamese Cuisine dining experience. Both the food and the service were great. So much so that I feel in the process I got to learn more about their culture as well. read more

We drive from Radford to eat here and it never disappoints. My favorite and one of the best pho places in Roanoke and the staff are always friendly. I recommend any of their beef phos and the pork vermicelli spring rolls. read more

The Food is amazing . The service is excellent and the ambience is wonderful! Would recommend it to everyone!

I ordered to go. Storefront is run down, bad presentation. Food was decent. Had the fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp, very good. Also ordered grilled chicken with rice. Nicely grilled, not dry, but could use more Asian flavor. read more

Very good food and great service. We had a party of 8. Delicious appetizers and spring rolls. I had the tofu pho with vegetables which was very good! The Asian market inside is large and has a wide variety of offerings, many I haven't seen anywhere else. read more

Food was really good and spicy as I expected, the place looks a little run down could use a little upkeep.

Delicious Vietnamese food! Delicious pho soup and broth, spring rolls are also on point. Great friendly service. Front of restaurant needs an update, inside is clean and comfortable. read more

Pho Vietnam - Mixed choice of meats with side of rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

The service was very slow. Took about 45 minutes to receive our food, and the only time we saw our server was when he was taking our order or bringing our food. Nice enough guy though. He comped our appetizer due to the wait. The ambiance leaves much to be desired. The building is old and run-down. The food was very meh. Apparently I should have gotten the pho instead of the noodle dish I got got since the pho gets such good reviews. My dish was missing an item listed on the menu and my gfs dish wasn't served with toppings as described on the menu. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Their pho broth is so rich and delicious. The food came out quickly and the service was great! They provided ample toppings for the pho (bean sorrows, basil, lime, jalapeños) and were very accommodating if we asked for more. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want authentic, and affordable pho! I will say their bathroom was a little wonky as the stalls did not lock, but aside from that it's a great place. read more

We wanted to order pho and banh mi, so we were disappointed to find out that Pho Vietnam only sells noodles. However, we ordered the number 10, an order of egg rolls, and an ice Vietnamese coffee and said we would pick it up (because of COVID) and that we would be there in 10 minutes. The person who answered the phone proceeded to tell us that they wouldn't be able to make the coffee in 10 minutes, so we told that it's fine, we still want the coffee and we'll wait. The outside of Pho Vietnam is a little shady, but good food tends to be in shady spots, right? We knocked on the window as advised and they gave us our food. We paid and left. They are very generous with their portions. There were a lot of noodles, meat, bean sprouts, mint, and jalapenos. They also gave sriracha, hoisin, and lime wedges. It was delicious and reminded me of pho in Brooklyn! I highly recommend the pho, but the broth was a little salty. The eggrolls were alright, nothing fancy. The Vietnamese coffee is strong and delicious. They gave a large cup of it too and a separate, equally large cup of ice. Highly recommend getting the Vietnamese coffee if you like coffee, but be warned about drinking it late in the day because it will keep you up! read more

Always delicious, affordable, and friendly. I like that they're open on Sundays, unlike a lot of places in the area. My boyfriend and I are regular customers. read more

The food and service here is absolutely unbeatable! The host was so welcoming and nice, always checking up on us if we needed anything. Best Viet food in Roanoke! read more

Pho Vietnam - Vermicelli noodles with pork and tofu! - Vietnamese Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

I stopped by this place for a quick lunch on a rainy afternoon for some good pho! I had the veggie spring rolls w peanut sauce and pho tai. Everything was delicious! The broth was very very good and warm! My only feedback is to maybe cook the noodles longer as they seemed stuck together a little bit, and the bean sprouts were a little brown. Otherwise I'll definitely be back! read more

This restaurant Pho soup choices are in a league of their own! Sure, there is a need for an exterior paint job and new mini blinds to cleaned windows. Much of the food on the menu satisfies a variety of customer preferences. Stop by and enjoy! read more

Traveling on Christmas leaves very few food options esp. in the South. Just off the highway, this was a real find. Friendly service, authentic Vietnamese flavors, and delightfully inexpensive. read more

My wife and I had dinner here last night. We got there as they were locking the doors to close for the night. The owner was very kind and invited us in and welcomed us. We had two orders of fried spring rolls (4 each) and one order of fried pork dumplings (8 each) My wife had large bowl, 1 qt of pho vegetaran and one qt to go for my daughter. The soup has many vegetarian sides that you add to complement the broth. I had a large pork fried rice. The pork in the rice were large thin marinated pieces. Very flavorful! Hong, our server was amazing. He was very attentive to our needs. Attached to the restaraunt is a small Asian Market with fresh produce, frozen items and all things jarred, spices, large bags of rice, bean threads.large variety of Asian food items for food preparation. Additionally, part of that same store has probably nearly a thousand options for colored nail polishes. All things nails seem to be available. Food and customer service were amazing! We will be visiting them again and I will definately recommend to my family and friends read more

Best pho in roanoke and i think ive tried them all. Reason for three stars is that sometimes i get a gross feeling from the restaurant as it might not be the cleanest. Take out will do. read more

Average pho. Poor service, not getting an enough attention of what we need, such as asking for "chili oil", sauce, water to fill in. Their broth is okay, not enough flavor to taste. Their noodles not cook enough because it's stuck together for a while as I try to separate them so hard all by using chopsticks. This is my first choice, will try different places of pho. read more

What a delightful diamond-in-the rough! Stopped in unexpectedly before an event across the street at the Bergland Center and everything our family ordered was promptly-served, extremely fresh and bursting with authentic flavors!!!! ( bean sprouts, fresh lime, basil sprig, jalapenos etc)... Thus far the best Pho we ever had was in NYC but not any longer - this place is well worth the stop! Even the soft- spoken host/server was wonderful and accommodating to dietary requests and the pricing was very reasonable for the ample portion sizes!... read more

Been looking forward to getting some good pho ever since COVID shut everything down and especially since my recent move to the area. I've probably been to over 20 pho restaurants and Pho Vietnam is certainly in the top 10. The broth is simple, yet flavorful, and definitely not watery like some broths can be. The pho chay comes full to the brim with several types of vegetables and a few HUGE chunks of tofu. I will definitely be returning to try more. read more

Health Score is 43/100! That's should be enough to deter. I sat in a booth and there were old cockroach carcasses all around the baseboards. I had already ordered when I saw it. The food simply wasn't good but the biggest risk here is your health. Do not eat here! read more

Pho Vietnam - SO GOOD I LOVE THIS PLACE! - Vietnamese Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

I have been to this location at least three times now and got the beef Pho dish it is amazing they even were able to make it keto friendly without adding the noodles. They also have an Asian grocery store in this restaurant so I was able to get some of my supplies to take home and they even had some vegan Vietnamese sauces. read more

The outside of the restaurant looks scary and the inside is not much better either. However, the food is definitely above my expectation! I tried many different pho places and this place is good/authentic!!! If you are looking for fancy looking place this is not it, but if you are looking for tasty pho. I give this place a thumb up!!! read more

While the exterior may not inspire confidence, the food will blow you away. The pho is amazing and the broth is one of the best we've ever tasted. Prices are great and the staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back! read more

I like their flavor! Friendly staff members and they also have market too. Good food! Taste good! read more

This authentic Vietnamese restaurant sits on a busy street of Orange Ave next to Days Inn. The place wasn't busy at all on a Monday evening, I was the third customer. Please sit anywhere the nice friendly young waitress said. I ordered my usual spring rolls and special pho #10. The spring roll wasn't fresh, I think it was prepared this morning and then they microwave them. This is a BIG no-no as the microwave cooks food unevenly and it brown the lettuce duh!. As for the pho, it was below average, the broth was very plain and blend, I had to add extra soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, and spicy Sriracha sauce to have that extra bold flavor. The lime slices they gave me for my pho was old, probably left over from a few days ago. Disappointing to me because I like my juice. I would mostly try my pho somewhere next time. :-( read more

Not my first time here! Food is always consistently great. Had fried dumplings for appetizer and egg noodle soup with wonton, shrimp and roast pork. Convenient location near downtown, 581 and the Berglund center. read more

Good Vietnamese restaurant in Roanoke with a decent sized menu. Started with summer rolls which were pretty good but the rice paper was over done causing them to have a funky texture. The peanut sauce, though watery, had surprisingly good flavor. Roast pork bun vermicelli was delicious as was the pho bo which had a good broth and ample noodles. The spring rolls were also terrific. Service was very courteous and prices are very reasonable. Would come back and recommended. read more

I ordered pho and pork chop combo. Food was decent but the place itself was not that clean. Also, it took a while to get the server's attention. I am not sure if I want to visit here again. read more

I love this place. Really tasty Pho with great grilled meats and appetizers. I'm always sad that there aren't more people here. Pho is great and everyone should come try it. Just imagine a huge bowl of noodles in a flavorful broth with onions and spices with a side of tasty grilled meats. The staff are very kind and attentive and the food is always good. The restaurant space is huge, and not all of the interior space is being used for seating so it's a little intimidating inside but I promise you will love the food. :) read more

A hidden gem in Virginia. It tasted like home away from home. Quiet joint, tasty food, family run business where grandma runs the kitchen to offer you that authentic Vietnamese tastes. Thank you guys for that great experience... Good luck. read more

My wife and I love this place when we needs a warm, comforting bowl of deliciousness. Seriously, this place has the best Pho is Roanoke by far. It may not necessarily meet the "eye test" but the food is amazing. Give it a go if you're on the fence read more

Don't let the lack of sparkle scare you away. Truly authentic and amazing pho from a great family. They quickly learn you and your habits, have things ready for you at the front if you call ahead, even a grocery store on site. I could eat here every day as never tire of this amazing food! read more

Was feeling a bit under the weather and craving Vietnamese pho, found Pho Vietnam on Yelp. The restaurant is spacious and service is good. I was ordering the pho with beef, then waiter talked me into the all-meat pho which really hit the spot. I will definitely stop here again on my next visit to Roanoke! read more

If you want tasty Vietnamese, this is the place. We have always been very pleased with their Food and love checking out their fresh market on Wednesday nights. Best Pho we have found in town as well. We always get takeout and get two meals out of the pho without a problem. May want to get some extra noodles from the market to make that second meal. read more

The best pho in this area. The price hasn't changed for ever and pho is as tasty as before.

I want to add to my previous review... They have cleaned up their windows and menus so I find it much improved. Pho is solid. Staff is nice and always keeps my water full. I eat here once a week because it is close to my work :) So nice to have Vietnamese food in Roanoke! read more

So I'm going to post my same review from urbanspoon here because this place is delicious and people need to know: Seriously, I do not understand the negative reviews. What's with the complaints about the decor? If you know anything about Vietnamese restaurants it's this: the stranger the decor, the better the food. This place is no exception to the rule; the food was delicious and the aesthetics left you confused. It's part of the charm! I personally would be suspicious of any Pho place with matching wallpaper. If you've ever been to the Vietnamese Mecca at 7-corners you know to expect florescent paint colors and crystal orbs on the ceiling. This place does not have that... but JUST GIVE THEM TIME. I also did not see a dirty bathroom, only an old one that needed remodeling. The food should be all that matters and this place does not disappoint. My wife had the Pho tai and I had the tofu eggplant stir fry and honestly it is comparable to a meal at the Eden center, only cheaper. The waiter we had was very nice and the food came out promptly, the service was excellent. I was compelled to write a review because I skipped this place at first just looking at the number of stars it received. Mistake. I tried the other place down the road (pho Saigon?) first and it was mediocre at best; as a Vietnamese American I would hesitate to take my gringo friends under the fear of misrepresenting the culture & cuisine. I'd gladly take them to Pho Vietnam because the food was delicious and there is nothing more authentic than half of the restaurant being a dedicated karaoke stage. read more
