As always, the food is excellent. They serve really great Vietnamese dishes, and we absolutely love the chicken bún. In fact, we order the same thing every time because it's just that good--fresh, flavorful, and so tasty! That said, the prices do feel a bit inflated for a mainly noodle dish. While the quality keeps us coming back, it would be nice if the pricing were a little more in line with expectations. Overall, though, if you're craving delicious Vietnamese food--especially the chicken bún--Pholicious consistently delivers. read more

We dined at this restaurant during lunch. The business was a nice size with multiple tables but was not packed. Service was slow. I got the lunch special beef with rice and water. I was given a bottle of water with my meal. My meal had broccoli and other vegetables in the broth but my food was bland. read more

Small pho location, on a side street along a couple of other businesses. Nothing special, a limited menu but there was enough to choose from. Started with the summer roll and the I ordered the chicken pho, bbq pork with noodles bowl and a grilled shrimp noodle bowl. The food is okay and would have been better if they didn't serve me bean sprouts that should have been thrown out. They were getting brown and mushy. read more

First of all, let me start by saying they play really good music. The food is awesome and they also will give you extra things if you want. I had the Beef Phô and it was Awesome. I visit here often! Food: 5 read more

I like pho, but I like a good bun more, so my wife and I ordered a pork and an egg roll bun (see photos) here the other day. I can honestly say that they were some of the best we have ever had. The portions were generous, all the ingredients were fresh, our food came out nice and hot. What's not to like? The place is austere, but clean, even the restrooms. Service was great. Parking can be a pain during peak hours, but we snagged a spot right outside. I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

This is the worst food I have ever had. Do not spend your money at this restaurant! I spent $73 on a lot of nothing. The summer rolls had no flavor and not enough peanut sauce to even eat with one roll much less 2. The egg rolls were at best from the frozen aisle. The chicken and beef dishes we ordered were each $20 plus with very Little beef or chicken and were overcooked. It all ended up in the garbage. I addition, we ordered the food ahead and had to wait 15 minutes for it to be prepared when we picked it up. read more

While visiting the area from North Florida, I had to try this place. I went on a Wednesday evening and it was quiet with only three tables of customers. Staff was friendly and attentive. I opted for a vermicelli bowl with lemongrass grilled beef. The dish was excellent! My only complaint is the price which was 18.50 for the beef vermicelli bowl which is a little high in my opinion. The bahn mi menu looked delicious and seemed reasonably priced averaging around $10 to $11. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Walked in and was immediately concerned because people left with their food uneaten (Pho). I had already ordered online so I had to get the food. Unfortunately I was right to worry because this food is bad. The Banh Mi was bad, spring rolls had mostly noodles and the coffee wasn't actually Vietnamese ice coffee. It was very high priced and we threw most if it away. If you know Asian food, this isn't it. "What the Pho" read more

We really enjoyed the food here! The chicken pho was flavorful, the meat was lean and tender. Absolutely delicious! The fried rice was very tasty, with different meats and shrimp. It's a nice little place with regular table and chairs, no "diner style" benches. They provided a high chair for our son. Good service and very attentive. The lady in the kitchen was very sweet. Definitely will be back when we are in the area! read more

I don't eat pho very often. I love it! This place makes we want to find more pho places. It is very healthy, soul touching, comfort food that gives you a BIG hug! Veggie Broth, Tofu,onions, ginger,lemongrass, cinnamon sticks, let it summer for a bit and water and serve with fresh herbs cilantro, mint, bean sprouts, jalapeños, Thai basil. The properties that you are ingesting give the immune system a big boost. The spring rolls were made to order. You know how you know. The rice paper is very soft. So fresh and delicious. They give you their homemade peanut sauce that Kicks up a couple of notches. And your meal comes with a bottle of water to take with you. This called self care. Go home and have a good night sleep. The decor was very resourceful and colorful. Used hats and fans of different sizes painted them and displayed on the walls. Space is a nice size. read more

A decent Vietnamese restaurant. We're attending the Sarasota Open and want a quick lunch between tennis matches. The lemongrass beef is very sweet. The rare steak noodles is ok but on the sweet side, and the beef is well done. Sticky floor. read more

nope!!! got the special, Pho, only one piece of beef tendon, and it was like a rubber ball. It should be cooked until soft, the sliced beef was so thick and so tough that it was not able to be chewed, broth was very salty and not very flavorful. extremely disappointed, always seems like the quality of the ingredients is not very good and somebody needs to work on executing the components of the Pho probably won't go back, only good thing was the service was very good and very kind. read more

Great little place. Nice selection of foods for the size of the place. I enjoyed the Pho with beef -- the broth was delicious!!

Huge portions. Even the small. Great prices and they didn't make you feel unwelcome when you arrive 30 min before closing. Really overall a great place for comfort pho and vermicelli read more

This gas been our second time in this grate restaurant . The food has all been out standing as last time , I can't pick my favorite yet but the summer spring rolls were grate. The restaurant is ran with a full kitchen and one server but the service has always been grate they are very attentive and help you along the ordering when you don't have a clue what to eat. Ambiance is nice Vietnamese music playing in the background. But the smells that come out of the kitchen make you feel like you are in the streets of Vietnam. They do have pick up you you order ahead. read more

Very good and inexpensive spot to get your Vietnamese food fix! We visit Sarasota all the way from SoCal, so trust us we know good Vietnamese good. Considering this is Florida, this restaurant exceeds our expectations and some. We ordered: fried egg rolls, lemon grass beef vermicelli, and special Pho. All dishes are delicious, service was quick, restaurant has good ambience, and restroom was neat and clean. Definitely recommend! Give this business a try read more

I never write reviews but being a server in the industry it takes a lot to ruin an experience for me. I went here on a Friday night and there were only 4 other tables. It took us 10 minutes just to get waters. We never even got the jasmine tea we ordered and were there 50 minutes before just deciding to leave cash on the table and leave. The couple next to us didn't even get their drinks either. We ordered an appetizer and pho and NEVER got the appetizer either after waiting 50 minutes. The cooks were cussing in the back, and the one waitress working was so stressed out because no one was helping. So after not receiving our tea, not even being checked on, never getting our appetizer, or our pho after an hour we literally got up and left. read more

Pholicious is now changed to Vietaly (hopefully I spelled that correctly) -- changed owners about 2 months ago. Prior to the ownership change, food was amazing and more authentic than any other pho restaurants around downtown Sarasota. Since the change, sad to say, I would not go there again because 1. noodles of my pho were undercooked (this is so rare, typically this would be the other way around), 2. eggrolls were so salty that I ate half of the 3 eggrolls provided as the appetizer. Vietaly kept the look of the old restaurant with some added modern/hip decor, I don't like it because before I felt like I was walking into Vietnam for pho and now I am walking into any other non-authentic pho restaurant. It really sucks because I thought I've found THE Vietnamese restaurant, I guess I have to keep on searching! read more

Popped in to check out the new place. It was early and pretty quiet. Ordered a little of everything which came out quickly. Lemongrass beef was tasty. Not too salty. Crispy egg rolls tasted homemade and were nice and filled. Pho with tendon was very tasty. Complex broth. Noodles done perfectly. Veggies fresh. Also grabbed a grilled pork chop. Pork chops were ok. Could have used more seasoning. They weren't charred and grilled like I prefer. Overall, pretty good all around. Pho broth was the best part. Will try other items on the menu next time. read more

What a find! I had the Pho sliced ribeye with a generous amount of tender sliced ribeye in a flavorful broth. My California granddaughter, a Vietnamese foodie, had the Pho chicken bowl. The verdict: "The real deal. Beyond awesome." To top it all, the service was excellent. Very attentive waiter. This place is a winner! read more

Delicious pho chay and prompt service. A must stop for Vietnamese fare in downtown Sarasota

Oh. My. Gawd. This was delicious and you all know I'm picky. I ordered takeout from DoorDash because I couldn't leave my house, and it was perfectly packaged and arrived still fresh tasting. This place isn't exactly downtown but it's a true gem! Totally worth venturing out a few blocks off Main when you want some great food that doesn't empty your wallet I think I've tried all the other Vietnamese places in Sarasota and this is the best. I don't want to post photos from takeout boxes but here are my best photos of their food- the Bun Chicken arrived with the lettuce and bean sprouts, chopped peanuts and sauces separated- but I had already devoured half when I took the photo lol read more

Food quality and value of product to price. I ordered for delivery to Bradenton so paid a hefty fee on Uber to get it. First one entree was missing. Although Uber credited me it doesn't help the person who would be eating it for their meal. The amount of House Special fried rice was ridiculous for $21. Approximately the size of my small woman's hand. Maybe there were two shrimp cut into tiny pieces, very small amount of anything included in the rice. The stir fried veggies were in a plastic soup container steaming away into mush by the time I got them. Additionally tasteless. The spring rolls wrapped in rice membrane was old and hard on the ends which means they were not made fresh, I doubt made that day. Yuk. I was so excited to enjoy some good Vietnamese food and was so disappointed. Nothing tasted fresh. That is the whole point, they make everything fresh. Thumbs down, overpriced and not good. read more

It's a solid joint for pho. Plain and simple, they bring out the noodles and egg rolls and the food is nice.

This place was very good. I got the small pho ga and added veggies. I wish I would have gotten the large! Next time.. read more

The Pho is excellent and the service was great. Really enjoyed it. My daughter and I have been there several times.

Delicious phô. I tried it twice. Excellent! For sure the best in Sarasota, a bit above Phô 101 in terms of quality. I tried the pork roll with rice paper which was supposed to be good but no, I didn't like it. But the phô is worthy 5 stars read more

Food is nothing to brag about. Somewhat south of ordinary. 2 stars Ambiance is that of a parking garage. Nice people.

Okay I've been to all viet places in this area from 101 to Cali. This one...the flavors are authentic and the food IS BANGIN. Best việt place in the area. Clean, comfortable and cool too. read more

Very friendly staff, food was good, and the area was nice. There are plenty of options but none within that general vicinity.

The best pho restaurant in Sarasota, with a variety of starters. Highly recommended!
