    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.

    4. Pho Tai, Nam and Gau S7. Banh Mi Bo Nuong takeout
    Alexis C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    S7. Banh Mi Bo Nuong
    Jessica T.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious phó
    Audry P.

    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.

Very pretty beach decorations that make you feel like you're in Virginia Beach. The food is to-go and you just go up to order. There's chairs for you to sit while you wait for your order. I decided to go here since I'm originally from NoVa and have been on the hunt for Banh Mi ever since my go to place in Richmond went down in quality. I was a a little disappointed that they no longer sold the Vietnamese food that they had many years ago that I had seen on previous reviews (lemme tell you, I would've bought everything) but I was glad they still had banh mi on the menu. My significant other got a cat fish po boy. Combination banh mi: It is HUGE! the sandwhich is about a foot long. The filling has all of the normal veggies such as cilantro and pickled carrots and radish but the meats were a bit different. There was some sort of sausage in it but there was also your normal Vietnamese ham and pork. I was a bit disappointed that the bread wasn't a Vietnamese baguette. It was a bit softer than that and also looks nothing like it. Still, the flavors were the closest to Banh Mi Ba Le. My quest to find bread that is the right texture unfortunately has failed Newport News and its surrounding areas. But, the meats are the closest I can get around here. Catfish po boy: we got 6" because my partner wasn't super hungry but this thing was still HUGE! we had 4 pieces on fish on it and it was HEAVY. 100% worth your money and it tasted great! Overall, a very big bang for your buck. I just wished they still served more Vietnamese dishes. Next time I want to try their shrimp though.

    Stopped by Tea Lux Cafe for a lil boba break and boyyy... this place is a must-sip spot…read more I ordered the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with boba and physically said "mmm" out loud like I was in a food commercial. Easily one of the best brown sugar flavors I've ever had. Rich. Creamy. Life-changing. Because I make reckless (and delicious) decisions, I also tried the New Blueberry Matcha Latte -- kinda like if blueberry pie and matcha had a sweet little baby. A bit sweet for me, maybe because I didn't give it a full mix... or maybe because I needed to add boba. Either way, still vibed with it. Grabbed some food to-go but peeped the vibe inside -- super cute, perfect for laptop warriors and remote work fam. Ordering at the kiosk was easy, and staff were super helpful if you had questions or just looked confused (me, always). Food-wise I picked from staff's favorites: Spicy Bulgogi Banh Mi (with egg) -- Solid crunch. Flavor was decent, but could've used more bulgogi. Will definitely go extra spicy next time. Fried Buttered Corn -- crunchy, buttery, and served with sausage. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Fun to try, but next time I'd probably go for the popcorn chicken instead. Final verdict: Come for the drinks -- I'll be sprinting back to try the whole menu. ‍ Food was decent -- a quick, easy spot for a light bite while you sip something fun.

There was a game table in the middle for people to play board games. I was looking for an authentic Vietnamese place with some good street food but this was not it.

The only downside was there wasn't much papaya and it was expensive at $10 Boba 7/10 This was a little too sweet and a bit over priced at $7 for a large Overall, the place did not deliver and was very Americanized.

    So, I will start to tell everyone I wanted to find the best Massaman Curry in the Newport News…read morearea. My goal/test was to try it from 5 surrounding Thai restaurants and then comment on the best of them all which is why I'm here now. When I first ordered at Aroi I chose chicken as my protein, level 3 spice, I made no changes. I was surprised at how nice it was and the flavors and ingredients were perfectly balanced. At that time, they were my 3rd restaurant on my list. I tried another place and then went back to Aroi and ordered it without any protein. Again, perfect. I visited another location nearby and then went back to Aroi and ordered it, this time with extra base sauce for a charge of 6.00. Again, excellent. So here is my final finding on my search without any names: First one: Almost raw potatoes, no onions and about 4 peanuts and did not offer a spice level Second: Way too sweet and the massaman flavor did not shine and was not medium heat as ordered. Third: Had all ingredients but was quite oily and very thin and again medium was really mild Fourth: Lacked spice in general Finally, Aroi has the absolute best Massaman Curry I have ever had. I believe the owners know what they are doing in the kitchen and for that, I thank you all from a person that absolutely loves Thai food but even more, love your cooking style and food. From one customer to another, If you ever get a chance, try their fresh spring rolls also, their peanut sauce is to die for. Again, thanks to the owners and I'm glad you all are here in Newport News.
