Pho 79 had pretty good pho. It was a little pricey, but we received a good portion of meat. Service was quick and attentive, and the restaurant had a nice Vietnamese-style decor and atmosphere. We were also told they don't offer a military discount, though past reviews mention otherwise. We'd rather take our business elsewhere. read more

Pho79 - #4 Pho soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

After visiting numerous other Vietnamese restaurants in the Hampton Roads area, I feel like I can honestly say this is the best in the area. Although a little pricier, the food is top notch. Service is always friendly. I feel pretty good visiting this establishment. read more

Round steak pho was really good today. I walked in for takeout and it was ready very quickly and so good to eat when I got home!

Extremely disappointing customer service. We arrived at 8:20 PM ready to dine in, only to be turned away and told the dining room was closed even though the posted closing time is 9:00 PM. They claimed they closed at 8:15, which made no sense, especially when they still offered takeout only. If dine-in service ends that early, it should be clearly communicated. We drove out of our way for this place and were met with attitude instead of hospitality. Won't be coming back. read more

So we stopped by and had to get the Pho Gau, Nam, Gan, Sach that tasted great Marcus also provided great service We will most definitely be back again read more

I ordered some pho to-go, the #4 Pho Tai, Nam, Gau and a beef banh mi. The broth was very fragrant and still hot but it lacked salt. When you dip the steak into the hoisin and sriracha it adds some more flavor though. This was probably the only Pho 79 beef broth that was sort of bland but not completely bad. The beef banh mi tasted almost like kbbq and was delicious. The bread wasn't too toasted or hard either. Can't say much about the service since I got my order delivered but they accommodated my request for extra butter and jalapeños added into the banh mi, which btw is a game changer. Just one to-go mistake, they misread extra onions for extra carrots and it was just bit too much. Extra veggies never hurt anyone though. read more

So, for whatever reason I had a massive craving for Pho a week or so ago, and I was in the area. Searched this up and decided to stop in. I've been to other Pho 79 locations and been...well, underwhelmed. So I wasn't sure how it would go. But I have a recurring meeting over in this area, so I actually ended up stopping in three times over the past couple weeks. They have a nice upgraded bar area and the restroom was very clean. The booths are a little old and dingy, but the service is quick. I ordered the Pho Tai because that's always what I get to judge a place - and on the first visit, it was legit! The meat was perfect, the broth was fantastic. Second visit, overcooked. Third visit back to the first time, plus I tried out the spring rolls which were really delicious. On each occasion I tried to order crab rangoon, and was informed they were out on every single visit. Overall, I like this place and will probably keep coming back since it's convenient for where I'm at - but I wouldn't put it as my favorite Pho place on the peninsula. read more

I love the food here. Great customer service. I love how they have two size options for Pho. The crab rangoon is my favorite item. I normally order Pho Thai which is very flavorful once you add all the fixings. Normally when I go I sit at the bar. The setting is a nice relaxed vibe. read more

Pho Noodles fell apart almost immediately. So much so that you couldn't eat it anymore. Staff inattentive

I've been to a few different Pho restaurants in the area as well as outside the Hampton Roads area because I'm such a big fan of this wonderful soup. Pho 79, located in the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach is one of my all time favorites. I like the layout of this restaurant and the food is very good. It usually comes out really quickly, unless they're slammed with customers, so that's reasonable to expect to wait a bit. read more

This is not Vietnamese food. Banh mi is soft and doesn't have the crunch it should have. No pate. The only good thing was that they had cheese head which no other place in Hampton or Newport News have. There's not that much meat in the sandwich either but it's $7.5 and nothing compared to the $5 banh mi up in NOVA that has way much more filling. The bun Bo hue was absolutely terrible. The broth tasted like water and wasn't even spicy. The bun (noodles) were also undercooked. The bowl was also really really small and super expensive. Overall this place at least has the proper meat in their dishes but their flavors and textures are all wrong.The servers were really nice though. I'm just upset because this was the final Vietnamese place in the area and they let me down. read more

The customer service was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. You will definitely get your moneys worth. read more

First time having Pho at this place. Love the up to day full bar. The seating is spaced out enough so you don't feel like you're crunched. The place was very clean. My man ordered the All Meats Pho and I had the Vegetable Pho. We also ordered the spring rolls but quickly at those. Very good! I have to say, the staff was absolutely amazing. Very nice and attentive. The portions are quiet large and definitely worth the price. We will go here again. read more

Food is ALWAYS great but definitely on the pricier side. I eat at this establishment atleast once or twice a week. The service is always quick and the protein and toppings that they provide is always fresh. My favorite menu items are P4 as you get a great serving of protein, rocket shrimp, fried rice, stir fry egg noodles, and the wings. I wish they would change the amount of sriracha, chili oil/paste, and oyster sauce they give you on to-go orders as it's never enough. Ambiance is great, it's self-seating and the wait staff is always polite and attentive. read more

Pho79 - P4 - Vietnamese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Food was super delicious & very reasonably priced. We had the pho, spring rolls, and sizzling chicken - so yummy!

As a viet person, I'm super disappointed in this chain. Most aren't even owned or operated by a viet person. You can tell by the food alone. Nothing tastes right. I had a non-viet employee argue with me that the hu tieu soup base I was tasting was definately not "pho". She kept saying "no that's the pho one. That's the right one. The chef says it's pho" guess what? The chefs not viet either. Definately not authentic Vietnamese food whatsoever. You can be non viet to sell viet food but at least get the recipes right. Learn the culture and food if you're gonna sell it off as your own. read more

Food was good atmosphere was great I enjoyed the pho and fried rice ! If you want authentic Vietnamese food this is the place !

Nothing like a delicious bowl of phó on a cold winter day! I love this place because it is close to work and easy for my collegues and I to get a delucious meal for a good price ans walk away full and satiated. Service was good, but today they forgot one of our to-go orders... The food came out hot and between the #8 , #9 and the sandwich we ordered, no one was dissatisfied ... Phó79 keeps their place really clean, as Ive never seen a table left dirty. And the wait staff continually looks to clear dirty dishes from the tables. Seating is enough to support large or smaller groups. And theres almost bever a wait time to be seated. Ambiance: casual Service: good Food: good Seating: indoor and bar area Cleanliness: clean I like this place as a lunch venue and will continue to patron it while I live here. read more

We are from San Francisco Bay and can tell you this; Way too expensive, decent quality however, something missing. This place is far from authentic!! On another note, someone should open up a Lees sandwich chain here, I believe it would be a very successful. read more

Pho79 - 10. Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Pho78 is a pretty Vietnamese restaurant with the standard Vietnamese dishes including pho, bun, and rice dishes. The vegetarian pho was surprisingly tasty with vegetables that were freshly cooked. The cha gio (egg rolls) were crispy on the outside and moist and tasty inside. Just the perfect balance. Nice interior that feels as though you are sitting in the courtyard of a traditional multi family Vietnamese house. Great place to hit the spot when you're in the mood for Vietnamese food in Hampton, VA. read more

This was a great little pho place in Hampton! I came here with a friend to get dinner and I wasn't disappointed! Walking in, it was a bit confusing on whether we seat ourselves or be sat. A girl from the bar told us to sit anywhere. I then realized she worked there. Tad confusing. She wasn't the friendliest, but it was fine. I ordered the small brisket pho. The brought out my bowl and it was pretty big for a small! Made me glad I didn't order a bigger size. The broth was really good, though. I mean REALLY good. They brought out all the normal toppings: bean sprouts, cilantro, and jalapeño slices. I asked for the chili crisp as well. Once I doctored it up with the toppings, sriracha, and hoisin, I was ready to eat! It was so good. No complaints. I'd come back for sure. Sorry I didn't get a picture. Next time. read more

The food tastes okay! It's good, even. But at more than TWENTY dollars for a bowl of pho is EXCESSIVE! I'm from Southern California where the Vietnamese food is in abundance, so I get that the prices here in VA will likely be higher, and i'm okay with that. But you can go to Pho 83 in Newport News for a 13$ bomb bowl of pho & a banh mi (sandwich) for $7. I got two sandwiches and an order of eggrolls (which would cost me $12 total in Cali or $19 at pho 83), but I got it for $32 at Pho 79 because I didn't pay attention to the cost until it was tooooooo late and i'm not some jerk who doesn't pick up the food they order. Anyway, that's all to say- the food is okay, but it's 104858200459% NOT worth the money. & don't let the prices on the menu photos fool you they're not accurate!!! read more

There's nothing better on a dreary day than a big bowl of steaming Pho! Pho 79 in Hampton is conveniently located right across from Peninsula Town Center and is a great place to grab a quick lunch or dinner. The Pho is my favorite menu item. I almost always get the number 4 which comes with round steak, flank and brisket. The Pho broth is always tasty and hot. I like to add the jalapeños, bean sprouts, Thai basil and a squeeze of lime to mine. They have sriracha and hoisin sauce on the table if you'd like. My hubby gets the C2, which is their jasmine rice with grilled chicken, pork and beef. The meats are always very flavorful and grilled perfectly. Our usual appetizers are the fresh spring rolls or Vietnamese fried egg rolls, you can't go wrong with either. If you're in the Hampton area Pho 79 is worth a try! read more

Pretty Vietnamese restaurant/bar that I ate at while in town last month! It felt like an authentic experience and the staff was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Our wait for food was about 15 minutes which is pretty reasonable. I ordered the pho dac biet for myself. The portions were very generous. Normally I wouldn't be able to finish that whole thing but I was hungry that day and inhaled almost the whole bowl :) There were only a few pieces of meat left which I ended up giving to my boyfriend LOL. It was also great to see and smell the dishes of other tables at the restaurant; it smelled so good in there!! Overall, had a great experience and wish I had more time during my visit to eat more of the food! read more

Pho79 - Perfect combo Pho and wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

After I took my girlfriend to a local pharmacy to get her booster shot, we decided to head here for dinner. It has been a good while since we had Pho so how was our experience? Once we entered, we had a 5-10 minute wait for a booth. No biggie. After being seated, we wasted no time ordering. For apps, we chose Fried Wontons which consists of ground pork and shrimp all fried with sweet soy sauce for dipping. Great stuff. Not greasy and right out the gate piping hot. I wasn't used to seeing wontons in that shape, but this I can work with. Basically you can eat that in one bite if you're lucky....ha! Next up for our main entrée was Pho Tai, which is basically pho with round steak. Typically, it comes rare but the pho broth cooks the meat in front of your eyes. And we also have the typical sides that come with pho dishes (bean sprouts, jalapeno slides, mint, cilantro). I ask for chili oil which adds spice flavors. Very good indeed. As usual, I add a bit too much chili oil, which causes me to cough a storm. After a good minute or two (or maybe three) of coughing it up (in the process losing my voice), I feel a whole lot better. All the flavors were present and I was full for the night. Only slight negative is I probably would've liked a little bit more meat in my bowl, but nonetheless I was satisfied. Just like the Newport News location, this one is worth checking out. As always, we'll be back. read more

I ordered the grilled beef vermicelli bowl and chicken pho. The beef had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh vegetables and thin rice noodles. My mom ordered the chicken pho and they forgot to bring it until we told them we also ordered it. My mom said our server smelled like weed, but that's none of my business haha. The bubble tea here is ok, it's more of a slush consistency. The decor is simple, typical of what you'd expect of a small viet restaurant. read more
