If you want to try their fried rice, I recommend doing so! I got the shrimp fried rice and it was really tasty, and they give quite the portion for $14. I'm very picky with my shrimp because sometimes it can taste just not right but I actually like this shrimp. I had their tiger boba a while back and really loved that drink, especially the size they give! The girl at the front taking orders is very kind and personable. The inside of the restaurant was also very clean and neat. I LOVE the sticky note art they have on the wall, it's very interactive and gives you something to look at while waiting for your order. read more

Phoba - Shrimp Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This shop is great! I had a craving at lunch and placed an online order. I'd never been here before and wasnt sure what to expect, but ... Turnaround time on two entrees was pretty quick. When I arrived for pick-up, the shop is bright and clean, the people very friendly! I love a good bahn mi, and this has lots of veggies, a good amount of beef, and a nice, slightly zingy sauce. (I would have liked more of the mayo sauce, to be honest. I'll remember that next time.) The roll had nice chew, nice flavor, I would have liked just a little crispness to the crust, though. Honey Walnut Shrimp was really good! The shrimp were HUGE. The sauce was good, the veggie and rice accompaniment a little sticky, but overall delish. I'm not one for food swimming in sauce, but this could have used just a little bit more sauce, too. I'll definitely be back! read more

This has been a family favorite for a while. We normally stick to the gyoza and pho, which never disappoint, we saw two people ordered the grilled pork chop. We decided to give it a try and BAM...you got to try this. The flavor is so unique...sweet and savory. Just an awesome dish. We also ordered Edamame and plain fries. Both were huge portions and very good. The fries were super crispy. Nice to munch on while waiting on the main coarse. Also get the boba. We always order the Thai tea and strawberry mango smoothie with both popping boba. Thank me later! read more

Visited here for the bahn-mi and decided to also add some General Tsao's chicken with rice. Took it to-go, but the inside was clean, open and inviting. For a Friday, they seemed a bit understaffed, but I still received my food quickly. Was pleasantly surprised with the portion size, as well as the addition of a fried egg on top of the rice. The full sized bahn mi was plenty of food, and the general Tsao's chicken was more than I could finish. I really enjoyed the extra mile with the fried egg and even some pickled vegetables added to the rice. For two meals, it came out to $26 which seemed like a steal. Definitely would go back here and try some.of the other options! read more

Phoba - General Tsao's chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Great service! Nice and clean. We had good fried dumplings and Pho, as well as pad Thai. The food was good, huge portions. Albeit I ordered my Pad Thai with a 1 factor for the heat, it had nice amount of protein and tons of noodles. The sauce was a bit thin and runny. The flavor was on the sweet side. I asked for extra green onions to give it more flavor and crunch. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked, but a bit bland. My friend liked her Pho but added lots of table sauces to give it more flavor. The bubble tea was delicious. Lesson learned to go bolder on the rating scale or cooks to consider more flavor without heat! read more

Over and over again I will shout how good Phoba is! Quality every single time! The food is fresh and hot. The flavors are amazing! If I've said it once I'll say it again, best pho in Nebraska, and possibly the best I've had in the US. Would recommend highly! Milk teas are great too. I've tried four different ones, I return to the oolong classic milk as it is my favorite! The boba pearls are always perfect! There is a good amount of seating, I personally do not like to sit facing a wall and they have been able to accommodate me every time. read more

Do not come for the Pad Thai. They do not use the typical small pad Thai noodles, and it was extremely bland and tasteless. I understand this is primarily a Pho place but the Thai place I usually order from is closed on Sundays so I ordered this instead and was extremely disappointed. I did also get a Taro Milk Tea which I thought was really good and it's saving grace of my order! From other reviews it seems the Pho might be good, and the milk tea is good. So just skip the pad Thai! read more

Phoba - 37. Chicken Pad Thai - Bland and Boring - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Firstly, I'd like to start by saying I've gone to my local pho restaurant for years (A certain one in Bellevue ), and Phoba had me rethink "what is good pho?". Phoba, hands down, has a tastier broth (which tastes like NO shortcuts were made in the process of making the bone broth), wonderfully fresh and juicy ‍ limes (not tiny, dry wedges that look like they've been sitting out for a day) a generous serving of unwilted basil, and crisp bean sprouts that didn't have that odd tannin taste that I usually notice everywhere else. I loved that the combination pho came with beef tripe already (something I usually have to pay extra for) and lovely cilantro that you can actually taste. Who ever supplies their produce, it's a crucial component to what makes Phoba pho #1 in Omaha! Thank you, Jessie for making my first time here an amazing experience! I was so engulfed in the pho, I forgot to take a "pho"to. Oops! read more

Phoba - Thai basil, HUGE juicy limes, and the best bean sprouts I've ever had. - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

My husband and I ate here a few months back and food was great. No issues! I tried the chicken pad Thai tonight however and this may have been one of the worst things I've ever eaten. Every piece of chicken was the consistency of fat. On the few noodles that had sauce, the sauce was this strange, flavorless pink sauce that tasted as if you watered down sweet and sour sauce A LOT. I am not a picky eater at all and I could only bring myself to take two very small bites of this before having to throw the rest away. Extremely disappointing as I spent $17 on a meal that went directly to the trash. read more

Phoba - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Food was good and generally good value. Service was lackluster and the server never did the typical check up after the food was dropped off. Food came in at a reasonable time after we orders but we were the only ones here on a Tuesday night. (They had two take out orders during our time there.) My daughter got the pho and the flavor was good but super weird there were florets of broccoli in there. I got the pork chop platter and it came out beautifully- they give you more pork chop than other restaurants that have this same dish. My other daughter got the sesame chicken and she enjoyed it, the garlic flavor was really pronounced. It came with a fried egg (not pictured because other daughter ate it by the time I took the photo) which is super interesting. Overall, good food, some odd additions to traditional dishes, and so so service. They have room to grow and we would try it again! read more

The worst pho place I personally have ever been. I got the bowl with the rib in it because it sounded good, yet the flavor was flat. The broth was flat and not enough of hoisin or sriracha fixed it. The spring rolls we had ordered were 80% lettuce and also flat and boring with very little recourse even doused in peanut sauce. We will not be going back for their pho. This was rather disappointing. read more

Only one size for pho and it's a large portion, wish they had different sizes available. I got the combination pho and there was a lot of meat! Broth tasted very clean. I wish the broth with more fragrant with all the spices that pho entails. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very nice. read more

Delicious! The dumplings are so yummy! Perfect place for takeout. My husband loved his sesame chicken!

Good food. Gluten free options. Nice staff. The place is very clean and family friendly.

So I order 2 combination pho, chicken lemon grass, chicken fried rice and 2 orders of the fresh spring rolls. Definitely satisfied with everything ordered. Highly recommend the dishes I ordered. The ambiance is really nice not the largest place but was able to accommodate my party of 5. The service was great no complaints. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting Vietnamese food! read more

What can I say. Yum! Very delicious and authentic. The pho dac biet is amazing. Service was great too!

We came here on a Saturday night and it was slow, ambiance was unique. Looks sort of thought out with the layout but there's not much you can do in a tiny space but cramming as many tables in between booths is not the move. We sat down and put in our order for springrolls, medium beef pho, and a veggie bowl. I am Vegan and was hoping the Tofu was prepared in a food-safe way but unfortunately after speaking with them about the preparation of the Tofu I decided to just get veggies and do more of a greens bowl. Food came out and looked normal, but looks can be deceiving. The veggies were very low quality and had that premade chemical taste that coats the mouth and stays in there after you've tried to cleanse with water. If they were fresh, they should be sourced/stored/prepared better. I'm not sure what's up with the process, maybe they aren't washing all their cleaners off of the food preparation spaces or containers it's stored in. Maybe the utensils to prepare the food weren't fully washed of chemicals and that led to the taste. Maybe it's just as simple as lower grade vegetables or even going pre-mixed to reduce food costs. Whatever it is, it was horrible. The peanut sauce didn't help either. There is a distinct acidic taste to the peanut sauce. It really tasted like it was sour and had gone bad from improper storage, or the ratio was off. Perhaps if I'm right about the use of pre-mixed food supplies this was just your typical stir and serve abominations. The feedback from my girlfriend about her Pho was that it was equally as terrible and disappointing in it's own way. She left her own review for anyone curious about the Pho options. read more

I just found my new favorite boba! I had the Miss You (taro) and my partner had the Tiger King (brown sugar). Both were so creamy, cold, and delicious! And the cups they're served in are so cute and unique. We ordered online and when we arrived 10 minutes later, the drinks were bagged up and ready to go! Staff were friendly and the prices are super reasonable! If I hadn't eaten before heading here, I would have also ordered the vegetable fried rice. I tried that on my first visit here a few months ago and still think about it! The only thing that would make this place even better is if they had a vegetarian banh mi option. read more

We walk in on a Saturday night at 7pm and the place is absolutely empty. Already a bad sign. It smells off, and the set up is more like a fast food restaurant. We decided to give it a shot anyway. The service was fine, the people were nice. The summer rolls had a strange texture and were not at all as expected when the waiter even advertised them to us as spring rolls. The peanut sauce was incredibly sour like it was pure vinegar or citric acid. The pho...I was so hopeful would be good. The veggies on the plate looked nice and fresh and there was a good amount on the plate. But the broth, was not good. The noodles were also a different texture than expected. The pictures you see are how we left the meal. My boyfriend paid, and we got up to leave and go have dinner somewhere else. So disappointed. read more

Having experienced some of the most delicious Vietnamese/Asian food, while living in the Pacific Northwest, this restaurant really impressed me. The owner is very nice and welcoming, and her food tastes very authentic, and delicious! The combination brisket Pho bowl is truly one of the best Pho bowls I've had! The appetizers are also, equally, all great! The location might not seem inviting, but I recommend stopping by, and enjoy a some great food. You won't regret it! Boba tea is also well done here. :-) read more

Just okay. Pho is made with a tradition broth that is simmered for hours and strained of all particulates, Phoba serves you chicken broth from a container. Banh mi sandwich meat is tradionally grilled/charred, but not and the sauces are overly sweet. The Shrimp summer rolls are loaded with too much lettuce and lack flavor. The pad Thai is bland, borrow and in desperate need of flavor. We just moved and are looking for good food, this isn't it. Will keep looking. read more

Great first experience at Phoba! We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. For drinks, the Classic Milk Tea is the perfect amount of sweet and came in a generous sized cup. Our food also came out quickly--as did all the other tables around us once they filled up. Our waiter was super friendly and on top of it and everyone behind the counter was hard at work. The interior of the restaurant is also clean and well decorated. There were about 6 tables and a high top bar against the wall with additional seating. As for the food, the spring rolls with peanut sauce were delicious. The Banh Mi Sandwich was a perfect combination of everything, just enough bread, just enough meat, and the mayo was delicious. The Pho came out in a huge portion with plenty left to take home, and the tofu and veggies were cooked perfectly. We couldn't have had a better first experience and I'm so looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on the menu. So happy to have Phoba in Omaha!! read more

I really, really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 items we ordered were left wanting. My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. To be fair to the restaurant, they do not advertise this as banh mi, but when you get a grilled meat sandwich with fresh veggies and cilantro from a Vietnamese restaurant, you're basically expecting banh mi, right? This definitely was not that. She reports that the meat tasted good, but the mayo was a miss, and most importantly it was served on some kind of hoagie bun, rather than a baguette. Most of it went in the trash. Hard to understand why they wouldn't just offer a traditional banh mi. I ordered pad Thai, and it wasn't terrible, just flavorless. I added lime juice, crushed red pepper, spring roll dipping sauce, and sweet chili sauce to give it some flavor. The hallmark of good pad Thai is that it's exploding with complementary flavors, but this was just wet noodles. On the positive side, I requested fried tofu instead of meat on the pad Thai, even though it wasn't on the menu, and they accommodated--very much appreciated! Also the portion was generous, a good value for the cost. I hope they're able to up their game in the flavor department, because it's great having a Vietnamese place out west. Good luck to Phoba! read more

The boba's are great! I just ordered chicken pad Thai to go, and I did not eat the chicken. Not sure if the chicken was real or cooked all the way the way through. The texture of it did not resemble real or cooked chicken. Just beware if you order a chicken dish from this restaurant! read more

I had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant and I will be happy to say that I found a new favorite place for pho! They have more than just pho and I had the benefit of trying their chicken and rice along with sesame chicken. Everything was scrumptious! And I walked out full and very happy. The service was comforting and I was taken care of very well by the staff and the owner. I will have to come back and try more food and I highly recommend this establishment! :) read more

The takeout bag was nice. The setup seemed okay. We ordered chicken pho and spring rolls. The spring rolls were meh. We couldn't eat the pho. The broth was just like boiled chicken water. Not a bit of seasoning. The chicken was like bad cuts if not canned or something, not chicken thighs, not chicken breasts. It was slimy and fatty. Maybe the tea at this place is good? read more

This place was delicious I had the shrimp pad thai, loved it. My boyfriend ordered the combination pho, he enjoyed his too. The portions are large, great leftovers. The wall with sticky notes from customer drawings and reviews was a cute bonus. Lastly, our server was friendly and quick! I would go back and recommend to others for a quick, and tasty Vietnamese dish. Thank you! read more

Love their pho! Super cute and casual place to get great pho. Their Thai Milk Tea is also pretty good. Food comes out pretty quick as well!

Just tried Phoba for the first time and wow, I think this restaurant probably has the best pho broth that I tried in Omaha! The broth is flavorful without being too oily or full of MSG. It really does seem as though there was love poured into the broth. I am from a large Vietnamese community back in Southern California and it has been so difficult to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant that serves good pho in Nebraska, but I think Phoba nailed it! I got takeout for this first try, but definitely coming back to try it fresh in the restaurant next time. I also ordered the beef papaya salad, lemongrass chicken vermicelli, and pork chop with rice. Everything was well cooked, well seasoned, and well portioned. Vietnamese food is way more than just pho, so I definitely recommend branching out and trying other dishes, especially if you aren't familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. I think the food at Phoba is great and wish them success! read more

The service is not there - they were out if hot green tea so I took the cold one offered. Asked for sweetener and just couldn't get it drinkable.
