So this is the first bad experience we've had with pho way. my bf went to order short ribs, pho, calamari, thai ice tea. he came home and they gave us squid for the pho instead of calamari and the thai ice tea was so BLAND. my bf went back to get the calamari fixed and to ask to fix the ice tea. he then added an order of spring rolls and JUST short ribs NO RICE. he came home. THE RIBS ARE MISSING!! so i call them and explain the guy on the other end then asks so did you order already or did you wanna order. it was so frustrating because he was not even listening. He sounded like a young teenager. he then proceeded to say oh the short ribs are right here. so then i say well you guys forgot it in our order. and i try to explain this is gonna be our third time coming back. i then ask can we at least get the ribs for free it was ten bucks we maybe spend 50 bucks and we wasted two hours going back and forth with the waiting and driving. manager is conveniently not there. they're trying to only give us $2 off. TWO DOLLARS?! what a horrible HORRIBLE rectification. they have zero care about their customer and their laziness. manager needs to run the place better. and they need to stop wasting peoples time. They kept trying to tell us they can't give a refund otherwise they would have to refund the whole thing, but the second time we had to come back they were able to refund us one thing because they made a mistake. make that make sense. i work in the restaurant industry and they could've handled this situation way better. read more

Chicken Pho was just okay. I got some shrimp and grilled pork over vermicelli dish with a fishy sauce. All of the food quality was below my standards. Basically it was like a low quality Vietnamese fast food. read more

This establishment is very racist and unprofessional, I came in and was not greeted for 10 minutes. After someone else came in they were immediately greeted. I expressed to them I wasn't acknowledged the server Julian and the woman told me I was busy. Get my smoothie and go. Everything is on camera. And they didn't like my attitude. I've always liked the smoothies so I drove 20 minutes to be treated very poorly. HIGHLY disappointed and I will make sure my social Media and community knows to not support this establishment. Disgusting. read more

The food here was hands down the best Vietnamese I have had in over 10 years here in New Jersey. We started with the summer rolls. Done to perfection. I had the Pho Xe Lura which is slices of rare steak, well done flank , brisket, tendon, and tripe with soup and noodles. OMG the best Pho soup. My daughter had Banh Me Thit Bo NuOng which is the grilled beef sandwich. She said it was so delicious. Only thing she took off was the Jalapeños. Service was quick and to the point. Great food, good service, excellent prices. My kinda place!!! I forgot to add I appreciate the outdoor dining and hand sanitizer on each table. Another reason to love this place... read more

Still order from here whenever I'm in the mood for Vietnamese food. Food is still delicious, presentation on point, portion size is generous and price point is fair when considering inflation everywhere else. Today we ordered grilled lemongrass pork chops and summer rolls (grilled pork). The flavors get us every time! Just order from here already! You won't regret it! read more

My first time here and I am impressed with the Pho. The broth is very tasty and certainly hits the spot! I also had the cha gio (spring rolls), which were tasty, but rather tiny. I would have preferred for the rolls to be the standard size you get in other Vietnamese restaurants. Otherwise, good service and a relaxing atmosphere. I will certainly come again! read more

I decided I wanted Pho for lunch before heading to the airport. So glad that I found this place. Everything was excellent! I will definitely be back! read more

Friendly service! Pho dat biet was actually pleasantly portioned, and was a large portion. Spring rolls come with ten but they were small in size, so I would say it's more equivalent to like five standard rolls, they were tasty. Would come if in the area! read more

Best pho place, nice and peaceful environment plus great food. Very well recommended.

Yummy!! Excellent and friendly service. Place is a cute lil gem that you will not regret visiting. Go for the short rib pho. Thank me later.

avoid this place at all costs, owner shows zero accountability toward customers. the food was even worse than the service.

My regular Pho spot was closed and fortunately I found this gem, which may be my NEW regular spot! We were greeted by a peppy and incredibly friendly server whose smile made us right at home. Then we were treated to summer rolls that are bigger than any I've ever had. And DELICIOUS! The Seafood Pho was really good. Fresh ingredients and delicious broth. Grabbed a menu on my way out because I'm going to need more! read more

Best Vietnamese we've had in 3 years since we left Jersey City. The grilled pork was literally the best I've ever had at a Vietnamese restaurant. So flavorful! The pho was tasty as well. Thrilled to have found this restaurant. Definitely going to add it to our take-out rotation. read more

I just discovered this place about a week ago and now it is my go to spot for Pho . I have already been there three times since finding it and tried something different every time and all three of my bowls were delicious . The Banh Mi is fantastic , the breads have a nice crunch when u bite it but nice and soft inside and they load it up . The Summer rolls and good and the peanut sauce is bomb . Also side note there is a really cute waitress in there . read more

The restaurant is clean, there are two great servers at the counter who welcome you with a warm smile. I ordered the shrimp with bacon eggrolls for an appetizer but it didn't make the photoshoot. Lol!! Reading is definitely fundamental because I thought I was ordering a soup and was surprised when a bowl of ingredients placed in front of me. I ended up having my daughter give me half her broth. The Spicy Beef Soup was very tasty. I plan on going back. read more

It is nice to have an authentic family operated Vietnamese restaurant in the hood. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Decore is basic but not jarring or unpleasant. The summer rolls were 3 out of 5 in my opinion. The Bahn Mi was lacking something but I couldn't figure out what it was missing seasoning-wise. I will definitely come back and check the other food items on the menu. read more

Pho here is excellent and generous. They also do good bun dishes (although wish the roast pork was a bit more marinated). Place is clean and servers very friendly... feels like a typical neighborhood family-run operation. Seems to be quite popular as place is busy each time we've visited. Also fun selection of drinks and desserts. Nice local staple! read more

So far, I've had the pho, banh mi sandwiches, and the Vietnamese iced coffee and everything is delicious - every time. The pork banh mi is like top 3 sandwiches I've ever had and it's $7. Literally why would you ever go to Subway again. Portions are good. Servers/employees at the counter are really nice too. read more

Not fresh at all. Tastes old and sour. Just gross! Don't waste your money and time. Chicken pho- Pho is not fresh at all. Greasy and chicken is all fat. Pork Bahn Mi - Sandwich was 90% bread. The tiniest amount of meat on it read more

This is one of the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They are the best and authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Union NJ. My favorites are the Beef Shish Kebab and Pho Way Combo. If you are planning to order these, make sure you come hungry. read more

I got to this place by way of killing time for an appointment and was amazed at the place and I had great timing as well. It was packed when I got in with just 2 servers who were busy and while I was asking, a spot opened up. Yey! I ordered the spring roll for appetizer and it was definitely one of the best I've had. Very well balanced seasoning and totally crispy wrapper. The soft egg noodles with seafood was just as tasty albeit sweet for my taste instead of savory. Definitely will go back there again. The servers were quite attentive and friendly. read more

Had a great time at Pho Way today! My friend and I went for dinner. They took our temperatures upon arrival and seated us very quickly. The server was very patient and informative when it came to the menu. We both got the Pho (S), and it was a big serving. They gave good portions of the meat and noodles, and the broth was perfect (not too salty). One of the best places for pho that I've been to. It was nice that they had hand sanitizer on the tables as well. For anyone not from Union, there is street parking and parking in the back of Kung Fu Tea/Bonchon. A great local spot for pho, and I would definitely come back again! read more

I had dinner here outside with friends last month. The food was excellent! I had one of their rice noodle (vermicelli) dishes and it was delicious! Pretty refreshing for a hot day. One of my friends complimented highly on their Bahn Mi sandwiches. The staff was really friendly and attentive to us and all their cleaning procedures were great. They're putting in a lot of work and it shows! If you're looking for a place to get take out from or to support during these weird times please try them out! read more

I had the rice vermicelli and grilled pork. The pork was tasty and tender. The noodle cold but wish it was just slightly warmer. My husband had the pho and said the meat was very nice quality and the broth was rich. I would definitely return. read more

Had dinner last night at Pho Way, the new Vietnamese restaurant in Union Center. I had never had Vietnamese food before and now I see what I have been missing. The menu is extensive (and somewhat exotic which makes it even better). I had a chicken and vermicelli dish that was seasoned to perfection and served with miniature egg rolls and a side sauce that was extraordinary. In addition to the food though was the warm and welcoming attitude of the staff. The could not have been more helpful or attentive. I was also impressed with the safety measures they have. Tables 6 feet apart, utensils packaged and they also placed a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table. This place is definitely gonna be a new go to place for me. Check it out! read more

For reasons that I can't explain, 35+ years of living in Union had never seen us dining on Stuyvesant Ave. north of Morris Ave. We were impressed to see just what a growing dining scene had emerged since our last visit (other than the weekly trip to Stop & Shop for groceries). When we learned that quality Vietnamese food had come to the area we wasted no time in visiting Pho Way. On an early Sunday evening street parking was plentiful, and the corner facade of Pho Way attractive and welcoming. The interior was clean, albeit a bit lacking in decor. The three-person front-of-house staff were each very pleasant and helpful, and service was prompt. For my tastes in Vietnamese food I typically order a meat and rice noodle dish on first visits, working my way up to ordering pho if I sense that the kitchen knows their stuff. Predominantly North Vietnamese in style, Pho Way offers a wide variety of rice noodle (pho) soups, grilled meat and dry noodle and sauteed egg noodle dishes, bahn mi sandwiches and rice-based entrees. Starters include a dozen eggroll (fried), summer roll (raw rice paper) and shish kebab appetizers. We planned to begin our dinner with shrimp and pork summer rolls (2 for $5.50). Tonight the appetizers arrived at the table after our entrees and were quite rubbery, but tasty none the less. Chopped lettuce and a few small shards of unseasoned pork prediminated. The always lovely Ms. G. selected a Grilled Pork Bahn Mi ($7.50) and was pleased with her choice. She noted the presence of adequate quantities of pickled veggies and a more restrained hand in applying the liver pate-- both aligning with her preferences. Throwing caution to the wind (and craving a big bowl of pho) I ordered the Combo Pho ($14.95; with oxtail, well-done brisket and flank steak, raw flank steak, tripe and tendon). I found the broth to satisfy my craving, if lacking in expected complexity. There was no discernable taste of charred onion, cinnamon, ginger or star anise, raising suspicion that a prepared soup base-- rather than long simmering-- was at play. The pho wasn't, however, overly salty; a clear indication of short-cut preparation. The oxtail was properly cooked and excellent, as were the thinly sliced brisket and steak. My two favorite pho add-in's were, however, disappointing. Beef meatballs, a $3.00 extra charge, wasn't seen on the menu when I ordered. Beef tendon, when properly cooked, is an unctuous and gelatinous treat, were undercooked to the level of being completely ineatable. These missteps didn't detract from a satisfying bowl of pho, but that bowl of pho isn't a candidate for my "best of" list. With green tea, tax and tip the meal averaged $18 per person, representing an excellent value for a solid-- if unspectacular-- meal. We're likely to return to Pho Way soon, and to explore more of the area's eateries. read more

Had the best Banh Mi along with iced Vietnamese coffee in a long time. Heartily recommend coming here. Very friendly staff and full of energy and enthusiasm for the food they make. read more

Super glad that Union has a go to Vietnamese cuisine restaurant. I've tried many dishes here at PhoWay and every single one has turned out to be so delicious. I'm a regular here and not afraid to admit because the staff is so friendly and the food is worth every penny! I recommend the oxtail pho and the beef cubes with white rice :) read more

Been there couple times. Like the food and like the service. Be avare: portions are huge! I certainly will go back again and yes, I do recommend this place read more

Very good Pho soup, and tasty Bun Mai. Seems popular and right in town. Best Vietnamese in the area by far...

Stopped by for dinner while in Newark for the evening and had the best pho ever. My husband has the bun bo hue and devoured it, while I had the chicken pho and added veggies. The staff is amazing and super helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back when we are in the area again! read more
