This is an amazing family owned gem! The original pho spot in Bakersfield and still the best!! They take 5 days making the broth, the meat is fresh everyday, and you can taste the love and authenticity in every bite! The owner Lu Ann is amazing sweet heart, and you can tell from talking with her she pours her soul and family tradition into every bowl. Don't miss out on Pho Vy, their broth is phenomenal and their homemade chili oil is spectacular!! read more

Pho-Vy - Special #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This had to be one of the saddest bowls of Pho I've ever had. The broth tasted old and had no flavor at all. The noodles were not blanched very well and was quite tough. The cut of meat were not quality at all. I took two bites and gave up. Other than that, good customer service. read more

This is a good pho spot. I was craving some pho so my friends and I came here. The plaza was really empty so it was easy to find a parking space. The service was good...the guy checked in with us a few times to see if we needed anything. We ordered the rice noodles with shrimp and chicken noodle. The pho was good, but the soup was too salty. Had to drink a lot of water. read more

The service here is amazing! Felt so welcomed. I wish they had chili oil to make it spicy but siracha works too! I got the small bowl and that filled me up, I wasn't the biggest fan of the flank because it was sooo fatty. The spring rolls were great but I wish they had a different crunch and not just bean sprouts. read more

I just love this casual and unassuming restaurant. Lou Anne is always friendly and I'm amazed by her remembrance of faces of her patrons. She greets you as if you're a friend. I ordered the Potstickers which are crunchy and delicious with a dipping sauce. I also ordered the Seafood Pho so I would have leftovers for dinner. Their Pho broth is so flavorful! For great Pho you can't beat this place. Make the drive, it's worth it! read more

You know it's legit when you can barely read the sign outside but as soon as you walk in, the aroma makes you even hungrier. This place is legit! I've been to different pho places here in Bakersfield and this is the only place that seems to have that rich, flavorful broth. Their pho is absolutely pho-nomenal! The service is great as well. The aunties are super nice and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your bowl of pho or whatever food you ordered. Highly recommed this place! read more

THE SOUP IS EXCELLENT. I do not like the location, so I order to go. It is worth the drive.

Love this place I first started eating here when I first moved to Bakersfield back in 2002 fast forward to today i come eat here occasionally when I do visit. I may no longer live in this city but when I do visit I know this joint is around. Shockingly same owners. It's interesting how surprised and excited they were to see me after going off to college. I thought they wouldnt recognize me. They even know my family. Yes this is what one can call a family restaurant. read more

First of all they neeed more people working there. And the old lady Needs to wear mask coz she's coughing or got cold n the utensils at least served them wrapped with napkin unlike shes holding them with her hand. It's so unhealthy! read more

er hair up in a bun. She did not have a name tag because it's so low budget in there, she never said hello how are you doing anything my kids were saying Mom is she upset smh red flag should have left!! The server gave me the wrong egg rolls. She gave me barbecue and I asked for a grilled pork, but after biting into it because I'm unaware of the difference cause that motherfucker was full of lettuce. You couldn't see nothing but green ! I asked her can I switch out for the one I wanted this is wrong one she told me no like how are you not going to fix my order when you messed up let's just say I had to let that bitch no I can serve up a pho a$$ whooping, she finally shut up! Even the lil old lady (manager) told her be quite, Don't go here if u black she was clearly racist read more

A casual pay before you eat type of place that is both sit down but looks like they cater to a lot of take out! We ordered a large combination pho, pork and shrimp spring rolls and a grilled pork banh mi, just to try a little bit of everything! The large combination pho comes with meatballs, rare steak, brisket, flank + and gigantic bundle of noodles! I liked that the noodles were still springy & not overcooked, but felt like the broth was just alright, it honestly feels like it's missing a bit of depth and is a little salty. I also wish that they would give extra cilantro & basil as garnish! The spring rolls were pretty good! I've never had spring rolls that had crispy stuff (not entirely sure what it is) on the inside but it was a nice texture to go along with it. I honestly thought that the banh mi was the best part of the meal. The grilled pork on the inside was SO GOOD and the bread was so soft and nice to bite into... (you know how much it hurts to bite into a baguette and have it cut up your mouth!!!) but it was a little dry so I would have loved to have had extra mayonnaise on the bread. Overall, pretty decent! I would definitely love to come back to get another banh mi! read more

This is the spot. Best Pho is Bakersfield. There are two restaurants next to each other. The one in the front (closest to the road) is NOT the one you want ! The one you want is small and next to the bigger restaurant. (You'll know, because it will be the one with people in) It's always the same sweet lady working. Enjoy. read more

been coming here for 16 yrs. Best pho restaurant in kern county. they recently started serving bahn mi sandwiches - pate is fabulous

First time going to Pho-Vy, I order a big plate of pho with everything on it, it was packed, PACKED! with meat not like other places, my only complaint would be the spring rolls, they tasted spoiled and the inglidients didn't tasted fresh, but the egg rolls were great. Server was kind and helpful, very patient. read more

Total hidden gem. across the board in food, service, and ambiance as well. Lovely people great authentic food. read more

This was the first pho restaurant I visited after moving to Bakersfield, and I had a lovely dinner there with my date. We both know the owner, who is always present, taking orders and serving guests. We've been there so many times, but this is the first time I've remembered to write a review! The owner is truly amazing--she always greets us with a smile and knows exactly what we like. As soon as we sit down, she remembers our usual orders, including our favorite types of food and drinks. We enjoy chatting with her while savoring our meals, and her warm personality makes each visit special. I can't wait to return and catch up with her soon; I'm planning to stop by in the next few weeks. Overall, this is my favorite spot, and everything about this restaurant ranks at the top of my list compared to any other place I've been to. I can't wait to taste her delicious food again! That's all I can say! read more

We came in for lunch today because the weather was perfect for pho. Food is great, never any issues there, but when it came to the service this time around, it wasn't up to par. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time- a number 2 and 14 small with one water and a sprite. The lady brought us out two waters. We didn't mention it since it was pretty busy and it wasn't a major issue. Once we were done with our meal, I asked the server for a container to go and the check and waited about ten minutes before realizing she had forgotten about us. So I had to stop her again. Once we got the container, my husband went to pay and we asked the lady to please remove the sprite from our ticket since we never got it. She then proceeded to (what seemed to me) scold us for not asking for the soda. I didn't like this at all. It is not our responsibility to remind servers of what they write down, busy or not. read more

After reading the review and was excited to try this place. Very disappointin!!!. The broth is very sweet compared to the cities and states I have traveled for work and experienced. They should keep the broth as it was originally originated rather than adding any sweet spices into the beef broth. Let others add their own flavor to their liking. read more

As we began our cross country road trip we needed some lunch, so we saw this place as we were driving by, and since we all love pho we decided to give it a try. In spite of the cop cars parked in front of another business in the same strip mall - obviously not a break or meal stop for them. The place is a little dated. The menus have seen better days. And it's not immaculately kept. They don't offer Bahn Mi, either. But, the pho is fantastic! The broth is excellent! The service was good, too! I see why this place has good reviews. The food is that good! read more

Hole in the wall restaurant but a hidden gem for sure!! Hands down the best pho I've ever had. Knocks all the other places out of the park. Everyone working is always super sweet and service is very fast. Love this place!! The owners are very kind read more

Place was crowded when we got there, clean , food pretty good. A small wait no more than 5 mins ,had to clean a table . Lunch rush . Very friendly , ask multiple times, great customer service. The dumping were crispy. My dish was pork chops with steamed rice , pork chops were good, parts were tender , small part dry, overall it was good. My friend got the beef pho with shrimp, it's smell good right when they brought it out , she swears it was good an she thought she'll be able to take left over home, but she couldn't stop eating. They have a small or large bowl pho, the small was a good size , the large can feed two people . The pork chops with rice, good portion, I had left overs . I highly recommend this place . Good for groups or a date or to go orders .. FYI while eating I saw lots of people coming in to picks ups orders. What does that tell you ?? Yes!!! Try this place out. read more

Food was ok. Service was terrible. Felt like I wasn't welcomed. I was constantly saying thank you to the worker when she gave us our food and I was given an angry look with no communication. Also, felt like all the workers were looking at us when we were eating. No other customers were there so it was really uncomfortable. We will not come here again. read more

The pho is delicious. While the location is a little sketch, the food itself is awesome. I was able to place a phone order and pick my food up without any issues. I have returned several times and will continue to. I recommend it. read more

Giving this spot a solid 5 stars simply for the food ! If you want authentic viet food this is your spot , the workers are nice and welcome you , it looks family owned so your not walking into your traditional restaurant with scripted workers . The food is always fresh and hot and comes in a timely manner. The spot is not new so building is a bit worn but overall the service and food keeps me coming back and recommending to friends and family I get the # 2 pho soup and add medium spicy to broth 10/10 read more

Really good pho and kind staff. The parking lot was sketchy, yet picking up the order was efficient. Spring rolls were better than other places I've gotten around town, yet I wasn't the biggest fan of the style of peanut sauce but it was still fine. The most amazing dish I had was the spicy noodle soup, which I added chicken to and upgraded to the yellow/egg noodles. The flavor of the broth was amazing, like the last time I'd tasted THAT distinct kind of spiciness was while visiting in the southeast Pacific islands. ...I feel like I'm going to be forever hooked on this place now, but I don't see going to the area alone at night there ever. read more

Gotta say that the food is Okayy but the small business is very sincere and want to ensure we are happy with our food. The peanut sauce is good though. read more

The food was amazing, but the vibes were off. Highly recommend the rare beef pho (#2), the ingredients were fresh and broth was flavorful. The peanut sauce with the spring rolls was ok, but nothing special. The flavorful pho made up for it tenfold, I don't have words for how good it was! Now for the vibes, I asked for chop sticks & when they arrived with them they asked me to give them my fork? I did because I didn't really need it, but I was with 3 other people and they confiscated their forks and gave them chopsticks as well. Overall we found it funny. 10/10 would return and recommend. read more

Had been craving pho, and this place hit the spot. Quick service. Great broth. Fair price. I'll def go back.

I loved this place, only place I would go for pho in town, but I saw a bug that looked like a cockroach on the wall and that was it for me.

"My friend" is always so nice and quick to take our orders!! My favorite thing is how she'll let us choose our own table most of the time!! The food is also amazing there, the appetizers are a 13/10 and the fried rice is also amazing lol. The place itself is pretty peaceful it's just in an ugly part of town. The more dangerous tho the better the food is gonna be read more

I love coming here food is always good & fresh . The Service is always welcoming & the owner is so sweet & polite.

Best Pho in town by far!! You will not be disappointed! Location is not ideal but worth it!

Best authentic pho in all of Bakersfield. It's in a tough area but worth it. I've had it to go as and there, always much better if you sit down and eat it there read more

Been coming to the original Pho Vy for years since I moved to Bakersfield. Most people would probably pass this restaurant by because it's situated in a not-so-ideal part of town. However, once you get past the location, I think one would be pleasantly surprised to find that this spot offers some good eats! I'm a creature of habit so I always get the same thing: large Pho combo #1 and a side order of pork & shrimp spring rolls & Vietnamese iced coffee. Their combination pho comes with beef, brisket, tendon and tripe. Like most Asians who are used to eating pho with meatballs, you can easily add beef meatballs for an extra charge if you like. The spring rolls are not the typical ones you would expect from a Vietnamese restaurant. Theirs could use some more flavor like mint or cilantro and/or some shredded carrots or green onions. Depending on your mood, you can also try any of their vermicelli noodle salad dishes (Bun). I like #64 which is grilled beef and egg roll. The bun dishes eat more like a salad with fresh lettuce, bean sprouts, pickled daikon & carrots, crunchy peanuts and comes with the spicy fish sauce (Nớc Chấm). The grilled meat is seasoned with lemongrass and turmeric which gives added flavor to the dish. Unlike other places that premixes batches of iced coffee, Pho Vy drips their coffee fresh for each order. If you're like me and craves that strong coffee over ice with condensed milk, then this will hit that spot! My only pain point for this place is that sometimes the soup doesn't come out to your table hot enough. Other than that, there are plenty other dishes to choose from. The owners work at the South Union Ave location. They are nice people who need your support during this tough year. If you live in the Southwest area, they opened Pho Vy 2 on White Lane. But as with most things, the original is always the better choice. read more
