Strip mall pho done well. Every thing was very good. Flavors were right on target. The egg rolls were crunchy, hot and not greasy at all. The fish sauce could have had a bit more flavor, but complimented the rolls nicely. The Pho was great, ranking up there with the best. There was only one waitress working, so the orders took longer than I'm accustomed to however. That was the one thing which disappointed me. All in all , very good. read more

I hate writing bad reviews for small businesses, but I went today for the first time and was not impressed. I walked in to place a to-go order and picked 4 things to try. I was a little confused when she gave me the total because it's not what I had added up in my head. I asked her if the prices were accurate, and she said no. She then flipped the menu to the front, where it stated that. The menu was presented to me opened so I didn't see that. I understand pricing changes to market costs, but it's not good business to not have them updated anywhere. After 20+ minutes I got my food and it was not anything special. They use dark meat chicken (not a deal breaker, just mentioning), and all of the meat was tough and overcooked. I am hoping it was just an off day, but the empty dining room suggests otherwise. The bathrooms were also not clean, which always makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Everyone was nice, but it definitely wasn't worth it to me. read more

Love this spot! So authentic! The older man who made my food was soooo sweet! Will definitely be coming back !!

Terrible! It is expensive and the food was terrible! The chicken tasted like it was weeks old and and an attempt to reheat failed! Never again! Do not waste your money! Please stay away! They should shut this place down!!! There is absolutely nothing good I could possibly say about the food! read more

Omg I can't believe it took me this long to try pho!!!! The staff was friendly and the place was nice, quiet, and clean. Since this was our first time of course we didn't know what to order, and the waitress was helpful in explaining what the differences were between the meats, and we could understand her lol. I had the round eye steak pho, the broth had so much flavor and the meat was so tender, I still added more cilantro, sprouts, lime, housin sauce and chili sauce just to give it more flavor. I'm in love with pho now lol. We also had rolls which I'm still a little confused on what they are called. On the menu it says srping rolls but the guy said summer rolls, it was noodles with lettuce I think, pork and shrimp in a wax roll, and they give you a peanut dipping sauce. Whatever they are called they were so freakin good with the dip. My boyfriend and my friend didn't really care for it but they don't like noodles or soups with noodles. I will be getting pho a lot now lol just don't know if I'll come all the way over here for it. But if your in this area or live by here I highly recommend it! read more

Real Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Their pho is amazing and banh mi are delicious. This is my go to place when the craving hits. Totally recommend it.

We got a few things from here. Let me remember ok kids sweet and sour chicken, grilled pork chops (mother in law eats pork), chicken pho and combination pho. The sweet and sour chicken my son didn't finish eating and didn't really care for it. I agree with him, after tasting some there was a weird after taste. Not a good look. The grilled pork chop, the only complaint was that the pork chops were too thin. She didn't really say anything about the taste. The Pho's. Ok we ordered them both spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. Now just to be clear we are well traveled and have tasted tons of Pho. And that's what we compared it too. It did have ok flavor. The Mrs. says her pho wasn't seasoned enough. The broth needed more! For me I needed it to have more flavor and spicy. We did like the amount of food that was given. Oh and I ordered my combination pho without tripe. And it was full of tripe. So I had to pick it out as I was eating. Also we love Thai ice tea. Well in California we went to Al Pho and ate there often. Great place. Well their Thai ice tea was only $2.95 and delicious. But their tea was $5.75....and the cups were smaller. Returning to this location is up in the air. read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time as we were in the area. It was alright. We order the sampler appetizer. The summer rolls were good, but the fried spring rolls were not. They were a weird color yellow and were slightly hard for my liking. The meat in the pho was extremely fatty and I had to remove it with a fork. The broth was delish and had the right flavor. The service was average, had to request a couple of times to get my tea refilled. We were there on a Sunday around 12:30. Sadly won't be returning as there are other better Pho restaurants in the city. read more

As a Vietnamese/Chinese American born to immigrant parents, I have much higher standards for mom-and-pop oriental cuisine than the average Joe. The food was delicious, yes, but I have some issues with my experience here. The ambiance is very similar to every other family-run Vietnamese restaurant; basic chairs and tables, open walkways to allow faster flow of service, chopsticks/soup spoons/soy sauce/napkins at every table. We walked in around 5:30pm, just before it got really busy. I ordered com dat biet and banh mi thit nuoung. My wife ordered the house special vermicelli bowl. The com dat biet was delicious, but the pork chop was about 75% bone. I wish it would have had more meat on it...I was very dissatisfied with the amount of the pork chop that was edible, because it tasted so great. #disappointment. With the banh mi thit nuoung (and the com dat biet, AND the vermicelli bowl), it came with xa xiu pork instead of thit nuoung. If you're going to sell xa xiu, put it on the menu as xa xiu and not thit nuoung! Thit Nuoung is sweeter and a little more moist compared to xa xiu. #2ndDisappointment. BBQ Pork = Xa Xiu!! Grilled Pork = Thit Nuong!! Overall, the food was good, but not what I had originally wanted. I'll have to come back to try their Pho though before I make a final decision on this Vietnamese eatery. read more

Vietnamese in the kitchen, bring the counter and coming in to eat as well, which is a good sign and non negotiable when I'm looking for Vietnamese food. Good bbh for cheap. read more

My favorite pho. I always get the chicken pho and it is perfect every time! Broth is flavorful, the large is a big portion, and they never forget the extra sauce when I ask. Love it. read more

I really, really, really wanted this place's pho to be awesome but unfortunately it was not. For me, one of the best signs that a pho restaurant is serving up some delicious pho is the smell. I should be able to smell the soup from outside the front door and definitely once I enter the place. Sadly, this was not the case a Pho Real. In fact, I was hard pressed to smell the soup when I stuck my shnoz in the bowl! I had the steak and brisket pho and my wife the seafood pho. She agreed that the soup was lacking in flavor. Additionally, she found the squid in her pho to be quite tough. The shrimp and the fish cake were good, she said. The steak and brisket pho was just ok. The meat was shaved thin and as such, was very tender. But again, no depth of flavor whatsoever. I added some spice chilis and some siracha and that brought out a bit of flavor. In addition to our pho, we had their summer rolls. This proved to be the highlight of the meal. The rice paper wasn't at all tough like many I've had. The peanut sauce was thick and flavorful. Pho Real has a lunch and dinner specials but the sets are Chinese, not Vietnamese. There are a few fried rice options on there as well. The dinner specials will run you around $10-12 with the lunch sets a few bucks less. The staff was friendly and I wish them success. I'll be back but I won't be getting the pho any time soon. Having eaten a ton of pho in the US and even in a month long trip in Vietnam, I'm thinking the joint's name, Pho Real, might be a stretch. read more

Great customer service! Had the brisket pho (delicious), and added the basil, cilantro, and bean sprouts on the side. Perfect comfort food! Also had the pad Thai. They put a unique flavor twist on this version. Worth trying! Definitely would order again. The Vietnamese coffee is delicious. I'll be returning for lunch again and again! read more

Vietnamese family owned restaurant. Pho and Vermicelli are really good. They serve other dishes with rice and meat, traditional Vietnamese dishes, soups, and Bubble Tea. Conveniently located. We brought family and business associates here and all have fully enjoyed it. Would recommend anyone who enjoys Pho to give it a try. read more

Excellent service... good appetizers and great pho. Absolutely no qualms. Definitely going back repeatedly

I called ahead and order two #3 pho brisket. Large portions, pho broth was bland, and oily. The food was ready within 10 minutes and ready for pick up. I might give it another try when COVID is over. I think pho is a type of dish that doesn't taste as good packaged needs to be eaten at the restaurant. read more

Food was decent but not amazing. Works if you close by and want some soup but not worth driving far for

Pho is basically oil. I had the P1 which is basically everything in one. The amount of protein and noodles is sufficient but I didn't even want to have any of the soup. Definitely won't be back for the pho. The A3 spring rolls with BBQ was really good. That and wanting to try the banh mi are probably the only reason I'd come back. read more

A family owned business with great Pho. I know anytime we walk in and order the veggies that go in it are going to be fresh and crisp and the Pho hot and filling. They definitely don't skimp on the noodles and the overall portions are definitely worth the price. read more

Real Pho - Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place used to be really good when the previous owners owned it. Since then there's a new owner and a new cook. We went there and had their Pho and they had a cook that had no idea what he was doing. He broke the noodles into small pieces and it was very difficult to pick up with the chopsticks. We told the bus boy that took the orders and he was supposed to tell the cook I don't know if he ever did. As for his service ability he was probably in his mid-20s and he there were three people in the restaurant and he was having a difficult time even handling and serving those three people. It was my wife myself and one other person waiting on a takeout order and it still took us 30 minutes to get our order so we were rather disappointed. I would suggest not eating at this restaurant until they get a better cook. Thanks. read more

I'm so excited to have nearby pho for delicious take out dinners! The venue has plenty of seating but not exactly the relaxed romantic dinner setting, it's very casual. The take out deal is Royal... They provide all of the fixings for you to compose your scrumptious bowl of pho at home. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

I was really hoping this was going to be a restaurant that was just like its name described, However there was absolutely no taste to the combination Phó that I ordered. When I order Phó I taste the broth first before adding anything to it to find out if they made their soup from scratch or if they used base.. This place definitely taste it like they used base but very little, it was very watered down! Sorry but this is Not Real Phó.... read more

Ive been going here for years the pho broth is great, they give big portions for the steak and brisket with your soup. And this is the only place I know this close to me that makes actual Vietnamese eggrolls. Excellent service and food! read more

I have had a Bahn Mi before that was good, but today I ordered the Orange Chicken. Maybe I should only order pho from a pho place. This was honestly the worst orange chicken I ever ate. It was just chicken with some sauce on top and a giant orange wheel slice. No orange peel, no red chili, and the sauce tasted bland. It didn't taste or look anything like orange chicken. I rarely leave a review but I would warn you before ordering anything that's not Pho read more

Great broth, great service. Best Pho in San Antonio. Beef fried rice is also excellent

It was ok......first time here....they were all nice. Ordered Pad Thai Combination and got fries egg noodle. Pho was ok but I prefer my regular place.

I was curious about this place and went off reviews, since this was located near my house. I gave 4 stars because the time to wait for my food to go was so long. The restaurant itself could use an up date but other than that the staff was friendly, attentive, and they were busy with a lot of to go orders. Now to the food, I ordered summer rolls aka spring rolls these were fresh and so good, but the peanut sauce could be better but it hit the spot. I ordered the manager Vermicelli bowl shrimp and pork with fried spring rolls and this was amazing! Fresh veggies & surprisingly this was the first time I enjoyed fried spring rolls, the only thing missing was the chili sauce on the side. read more

In an area saturated by burger and taco joints, anything else is a welcome change. This place is an oasis in a sea of mediocrity. We had the meatball pho, and it was a great chance of pace. I've been back to this place several times since. read more
