I went in to get take out and the young man at the register was very helpful when I asked for advice on what to order. With his help I choose the beef pho and shrimp spring rolls. He gave me directions on how to prepare the pho at home. My order was ready in five minutes. When I got home I was delighted to see unbelievably beautiful spring rolls (not fried) and the fresh pho ingredients. The peanut sauce with the rolls was delicious! The flavors were amazing. I prepared the pho as instructed and was not disappointed. It was delicious and filling yet light. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is that I probably would not dine in as there is no wine available. I will definitely be back for take out very soon. There's no way I could stay away! read more

Weird place. Weird vibe. The waitress never really looked us in the eye the entire time. Even my 4-year old noticed her looking away while serving us. We ordered pho ga (chicken soup). It was fine -- I'd give it a C+. The interior is nothing to write home about. There's another pho restaurant I'll try next time. We actually tried them before stopping here, but they didn't have pho that night, which is why we ended up at Pot Au Pho. Probably not coming back. read more

If you're searching for good food, reasonable prices and friendly, efficient service, the Deep South, and the Mobile area offers little. But pho and behold, here you are, and the best Vietnamese food this side of the Mason-Dixon Line beckons. Try any of noodles, spring rolls and you can't go wrong. Enjoy. read more

Great food..Great service..and reasonably price.can't wait to go again. Order the short ribs and rice and come hungry.

They don't have bahn mi and it's not my favorite pho. It's decent and your in Alabama so there aren't many options. Worth it if your craving pho....and for the hostess/waitress.....it's actually worth it just to see her read more

My wife is Vietnamese so we tried the restaurant , spring rolls were ok , the beef pho nothing special,,,, just ok ! Dont know about the other dishes read more

I come here for lunch with my coworkers about once every 2 weeks. They have the best PHO in Mobile and Pensacola area (Better than To-Do, though they are great as well). My rice dish of choice is C6 w/ egg added. read more

Pho is excellent. Noodles are a bit different than I'm used to but the broth as the brisket are delicious. I also ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls and they are huge. read more

Based on the reviews, I ventured a little deeper into an area of Mobile that I have neither been to before, nor expect to return. I have yet to call into question the reviews of others but the disconnect from what other reviewers experienced and what I experienced is significant. Yes, it is in a repurposed building but that is the least of the issues. First, the gnats. They. Were. Everywhere. At first I thought it was just me but when a kindly older couple commented about them after seeing me swat repeatedly, I knew it was an issue (and in my experience, gnats equate to cleanliness issues). Next - and perhaps most importantly - was the food itself. I tried their shrimp cakes (?) which looked and tasted pre-made and purchased Sysco style which at $6.50 is pretty sad. The iced espresso was burnt and even the condensed milk could not salvage it. And lastly, the bun bo hue was some of the worst I've ever had. No flavor to speak of and processed meats and fish balls. I've had disagreements with the reviews of others in the past but there is such a chasm between what I experienced and what others experienced I have to ask about a favorable and unwarranted bias. read more

Yummy Pho with quality ingredients. Fast service, good prices. Try the spring rolls, they are very good. I will eat here again soon.

Service very bad , waiter very bad. I don't like waiter and service. Generally no longer strong customer service attitude to customer faces a terrible pile. read more

Passing thru traveler and here for the first time...looked up Yelp rating b4 arrived. Current Yelp rating is over rated. Highly suggest native taste buds to lower expectations on quality Way Down. Tasted the worst Bun Reu in my 42 years of life. Service is sub sub par, surely does not deserve tips; lack of courtesy and politeness. read more

I love Vietnamese - and was very excited to find this place when I moved to Mobile! I was a bit skeptical I would find anything I liked, since this area doesn't seem to be very Asian-food friendly (outside of the large number of hibachi grills), but I was wrong. I truly enjoy Pot Au Pho. The pho broth is subtle but delicious - one of the best broths I've had, and I've eaten all over the U.S. (Can't speak to authentic Vietnamese, sorry.) The fresh summer rolls are delicious and the vermicelli bowls are fantastic as well. I don't remember seeing clay pot pork, or thit kho to, I believe it's called, so that was a bit disappointing. Also, try the bubble teas! They are yummy - the coconut and strawberry flavors are my favorite. And, as far as pricing goes, you can't beat it. You can get a sizable meal for under $15. All in all, a great place. read more

So yummy! we had shrimp Phu and shrimp spring rolls It was perfect! They had peanut sauce instead of sweet chili, which I LOVE! I hate when restaurants serve sweet chili with spring rolls! Staff was pleasant and they give you so much vegetables with the phu. Can't wait to go back! read more

I just experienced this restaurant and WOW. We had pho and vermicelli and both had an explosion of flavor. I liked how fresh the ingredients were in the vermicelli. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Pot Au Pho only gets a 4-star rating due to the atmosphere.....it was a bit warm inside the restaurant but the food and service was wonderful! Being the 1st trip for Pho, I wasn't sure what to get but so glad I got the Prawn Pho. The Spring Rolls were perfectly cooked and served with sweet sauce and the Prawn Pho was so good. Definitely recommend trying this little treasure... read more

Pot Au Pho may not look like much on the outside. Inside you'll find yummy Vietnamese cooking. Of particular interest were the pork skin spring roll appetizers. Unique and delicious. The vermicelli bowl was awesome. Great good food and a wonderful experience. Try it. read more

Went there for the first time for lunch and was impressed by the variety of the menu and the quality of the food. Service was excellent also. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want authentic Vietnamese food. read more

The waitress i dealt with was friendly, but my order was wrong. Unfortunately i had already left with my to go order before checking it. Instead of spring rolls i received some odd shrimp thing wrapped in lettuce with a peanut sauce, and it wasn't even that good, the pho soup i ordered was supposed to be without cilantro, but it was coveted in cilantro. Overall, quite disappointed. read more

Food was good.Fair prices. Owner is very nice. Server didn't know what she was doing.Reason for 4 stars.All and all decent place.

Worst Restaurant for Service! went in yesterday morning my waitress who didn't inform me at all that they were out of the beansprouts or basil, mind you she took my order and NEVER brought me my drink until a different waitress she was short and skinny with black hair and tan skin brought me my food she was the one who told me how sorry she was for being out of the beansprouts and basil and she noticed how i didn't have my drink i told her i was just drinking water but the other waitress never brought my drink out but i saw her ( my original waitress ) on her phone talking and talking and she never came to check on me. i've been there several other times and she is the main one who has her phone on her hand talking in her language loud the whole restaurant can hear her talk on the phone. if it wasn't for the other waitress i would have walked out. also the food isn't the best here either but i only go to it becuase it's the only decent nearby pho i can eat but besides the one bad waitress i still don't recommend it and she shouldn't be on her phone talking if she can't even attend her tables read more

The food is not good here at all. Not authentic. My pho was so bad. Very very bland. The bun bo hue is not good either.

Food was okay, but found three roaches crawling in and around our table. Management was nice enough to comp our meals at least. Definitely won't be back. read more

I love this place. Their spring roll and dipping sauce is out of this world. Their brisket pho is delicious and I love coming here when ever I am in mobile. I can eat a million of those spring rolls and never get tired of it. It is fresh and delicious. Also try one of those bubble tea I promise you won't regret it. Definitely try the spring roll and brisket pho. Keep this good work up and I will definitely be back for more. read more

Flavorful and delicious! Here in Mobile for business and decided to try this place before I head back home to Dallas. So glad I did! Don't let the exterior appearance or location fool you, the friendly staff and delicious food await. I had the combo pho and spring roll. The pho was hot, flavorful and loaded with noodles and meat. Nice to eat at a local restaurant with great food! read more

Best Vietnamese food in Mobile for sure. The pho is topped with plenty of beef, while all the typical garnishes on the side. The pricing is very fair especially for the amount of food you get. If you haven't had Vietnamese food before, Pot Au Pho is a great gateway into this type of food. read more

eat here many time love the noodle soup always good wil be back egg roll can be better

It's a small place and looks a bit sketchy at first but the stuff is great and the inside it very clean, pho was delicious and the egg rolls were the best read more

Atmosphere is non-existent, service is mediocre, but IT IS ALL WORTH IT FOR THE FOOD!!! I am addicted to this place! I am not sure, but I think Pot Au Pho may be the only #Vietnamese restaurant in town. read more

One of the best & cleaner Vietnamese eateries I've been to. The food has always been delicious & fresh. I've been coming to this place for years now and it's still a frequent stop for my family & I. read more

Great Vietnamese restaurant! Great prices and great dishes. Don't forget to try the bubble tea.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!! Will not be returning! I have been a customer at this place for a couple of years now, and service has always been crappy here. They drop off your food and basically don't come back until they give you the bill. This experience though was EXTREMELY RUDE! It was about 6:30 p.m, and the place was DEAD when I arrived with my party of 10 people. I told the young kid/waiter at the counter that we needed an extra table moved to fit our party. He just stood there and stared at me. So my brothers moved a table themselves. Strike 1! Then the waitress shouts at us saying the that we were blocking her walkway! Strike 2! Did she really need more than a 7 foot width to walk through? We then told her to move the table as she pleased, as she was suppose to do so in the beginning. The young waiter than came to the table and basically dropped the menus in front of us one by one. Strike 3! He then stood at end of one table and gave us a blank stare. He definitely did not need to be there, and you could see it in his manner that he also didn't want to be there. We basically had to shout our orders to him because he did not move a step. Strike, strike, and strike ........ The food here is also mediocre. This is coming from a Vietnamese person that knows what the food is suppose to taste like. There are other better options in town! read more

It was delish!!!! We went today and got spring rolls which were very good. I got the rare beef and brisket Pho ( large) lol... I needed the big girl bowl today and it was amazing. My hubby got the brisket and crunchy beef. He said it was good. I had my face in my bowl I didn't even taste his.lol. The Pho bowls came with very fresh basil, bean sprouts, lime, and sliced jalapeño ( which were very hot). We also tried the beef short ribs. Wow! The taste was fantastic the only downer was they were cut really thin and there wasn't much of it. Highly recommend this place it was very clean and the service was good. They spoke very good English! read more

The roof just has to be repaired. This has been an ongoing problem with this restaurant. Wet floors and tables. Badly damaged ceiling tiles. Towards the rear, in the corner, to the left of the TV, is a section of ceiling tiles buckling in. Slippery floors. So is this going on in the kitchen also? I'm not going back. read more

Worse service ever! Waiter didn't put in our order, waited and waited until was we asked about our meal. Bathroom very dirty, would not recommend. read more

Very good and authentic food.Good prices, quick service, and you will most certainly be full.

It's not the best Vietnamese food, but it's the best in mobile. I prefer home cooked Viet food, of course, but when I'm in the craving, it'll do. I get the Bun Bo Hue and the Com Dac Biet (rice, pork chop, and everything). read more

I decided to try this place out based on it's great reviews and they didn't disappoint! When I went in, the restaurant wasn't too full, but their phones were ringing off the hook. They seem to be super busy with phone orders so I'd definitely come in with what you want in mind, and order as soon as you get there. That being said, my food came out super fast. I got the pho special (p1) and it was delightful. Throw in some hoisin sauce and sriracha and it's a 10/10. I got a medium and it definitely filled me up. read more

The service was absolutely terrible. I usually do not write reviews but this service was so bad I had to. The girl working the desk was very rude and unhelpful when we asked questions about the food. She was on her phone most of the time. read more

I would give this place minus star if possible. First thing that made me uncomfortable is the dirty environment. A spider crawled on my hand when I was taking a piece of tissue. Then a fly fell on my straw. I told a female staff who passed by my table to bring me a new straw. She directly said " I don't work at your table " without stopping her steps. Other waitresses' attitude is also no better than this one. Guess why they dare to give this bad attitude? Cuz you pay at the front desk and don't need to tip! Well I'd rather tip for a comforting dining environment and service. The other thing is the food. I ordered a beef stew with egg noodles. Well, you better call it cow's tendon stew. Only three pieces of small beef. The spring roll tasted exactly like the frozen food from supermarket. They just bought it and fried. I went to the oriental food mart next to this diner after I left the disappointing place and found frozen spring roll with the same size and stuff inside. I guess they buy food material from the market ( I saw a four star review for this diner from someone who works in that market. I believed it so I went to try it. Look at what I got! ). I've tried so many Vietnamese food in many places. This one is the worst one so far. The first dinner in Alabama is so frustrating. Don't know why there are people keep going to that place. read more
