Ordered over the phone they were fast and respectful I got my food and took it home it was really good had seafood mix in it bokchoy carrots and shrimp broccoli and pho noodle I was sick at the time so it def help... the restaurant was busy too clean establishment read more

I originally went for Tom Yum soup, but since they didn't have it, I ended up getting their pho instead. The menu has many options and the portions are large, but the food was very underwhelming. I ordered the seafood pho and a Thai tea. The pho broth was too sweet, and the condiments and sauces seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time. The chili oil and chili paste tasted old, and the bottles were greasy and sticky. Thai tea was decent, place def needs more cleanup. read more

Came into town, city of surprise Az drove by this pho place, and I wanted to try this place, we decided to have an appetizer spring roll and it comes in 4 rolls it's pork and shrimp. Wasn't happy with the taste of it, didnt taste fresh they just roll it with lettuce and noodle dont see mint leaf and sauce came with it didnt taste good as well.. Service could of been better because waited a long time to order, the waiter gave us the menu, water, a basket with silverware and napkins, then he walked away and didn't say anything. There was another waiter brought out the food to our table was nice,but they should ask if we need anything else before they walked away. Ambience theres no t v except theres a screen with advertising the food on it. I think the place can be clean here and there, and customer service needs to work on. read more

The wife normally gets take out here so I tried it.. the chicken pho tasted like BOILED CHICKEN WATER, no seasoning. Even after adding the "side" flavors that use to come in a plastic baggie ( not anymore, it just comes thrown together in an Asian container box with the noodles). This dish was HORRIBLE. The wife ordered a curry dish that had less than a whole chicken breast of shredded meat in it. This place has decided to cut cost by giving you maybe two tablespoons of shredded DRY chicken with the dishes & if you ask to add shrimp you only get two-three pieces. In order to make this dish cost basically less than $5.00 if you make it at home & I wish I would have just made it myself. This food doesn't taste authentic at all. I will never order from this place again & we were somewhat of a regular customer ( well my wife & son were) .. This establishment has definitely decided to GO CHEAP and for that you won't get our business again. It's just chicken people! Serve at least a whole breast! Or just stop & CLOSE THE DOORS. So disappointed in your lack of care for what comes out your kitchen. The fried dumplings were TRASH as well. read more

I was hoping fall in life with this place, especially because it's so close to the freeway, but it just didn't Happen for me. There's plenty of quiet space inside. I ordered the appetizer combination - it was ok, better than my entree. The Nguc Cham (fish dipping sauce) tasted so watered down, I was really disappointed. Vietnamese spring rolls are always served with romaine lettuce and mint. You roll it up like a little burrito and then dip it in the Nguc Cham sauce, but unfortunately they only had butter iceberg and Thai basil. Not for me. I wanted to order an authentic slow drip Vietnamese coffee, but they had a premix, so I passed. I ordered the #13 - it came with a strange salad dressing and the rice had an odor to it. Even after taking it home, I could not eat it. The pork was so fatty, I tossed it out too. The ladies beside me ordered appetizers and seemed to enjoy them, but it's a one time visit for me. read more

On the evening of May 7th, I placed an Uber Eats order from this restaurant for Filet Mignon Pho and a 4-piece egg roll (Cha Gio). This was my second attempt trying their food. During my first visit, I walked in to place a to-go order, but was told they were out of several key ingredients, including egg rolls and bean sprouts. I still ordered a rare steak pho, but it lacked flavor and was disappointing. This recent order was slightly better--the pho was average, with a broth that was passable but not rich. However, the egg rolls were a serious concern. Not only did they seem to contain no meat, but my very first bite included a foreign object, which could have caused serious harm. I immediately contacted Uber Eats and documented the issue. I don't write negative reviews lightly, but this goes beyond personal taste. For health and safety reasons, I strongly urge a professional inspection of this establishment. I won't be returning. read more

I got the rare beef pho add carrots. It was fantastic. I will absolutely be back! Even my picky eater family liked it!

I needed soft foods to eat. So Pho was my best option. This is my first time trying Vietnamese in AZ. It was good. The dumplings have chicken inside. They give you bean sprouts, lime jalapeños and basil on the side. Another container has all the different sauces you can add to the soup. The veggies were soft, but not mushy. We were seated and greeted immediately. There weren't many people inside when we got there. I'm not sure there was much of a decor vibe that stands out as memorable. It's definitely a place to sit and eat, not to go for any kind of hip vibe. My friend ordered the shrimp pho. She liked it. Only critiques: the soup wasn't super hot. The green tea was weak. Too much water was in the pot, and it too, wasn't super hot. I'd go again. Would like to try a different dish next time when I can eat solid food. read more

Worst pho and spring rolls I've ever had and I've had a lot. Pho had no flavor. They didn't give me any basil. The spring rolls were full of lettuce and the meat. None of the veg or herbs that springs rolls usually have. Fried rice was bland. read more

Grabbed this one day when I near that area. Got the pho with rare steak. Pretty good, broth wasn't as strong as other places but overall it was really good. We did takeout so I can't say much about the ambiance but I saw quite a few cars pulling up when ordering so it seemed like it gets good traffic. When I called on the phone to order they were polite and my order was ready within 10 minutes. read more

Be aware the menu prices on their website currently, as they show right now are different from in person and they don't make you aware of this until you pick up the food and it does not clarify that online. Quality of the food is mediocre, portions could be better as well. read more

I visited Surprise Pho on a whim. I craved for vietnamese food and called ahead to place my order. They were helpful in helping me figure out the menu. Since I was in a time crunch I had to make sure the food would be ready. They had it readily prepared for me to eat. I got the hot stone bbq ribeye. I love a hot and sizzling plate. I'm not sure but when I had it for my dine in option.. I was hoping to hear the food crackle and pop. But surprisingly it did not get that effect. I ate the steak that once cut into pieces with onion and bell peppers. It was more like a peppered steak dish. It was mediocre, but I'm assuming it would've been as bomb dot com if they had put it hot on the platter and kept the ribeye steak intact and cooked to our liking. I got the shrimp spring roll, it was rolled thick. It helped make me feel full. I appreciate the customer service at this restaurant. I think they can improve the dated interior. I hope they can better their food. But for anyone in the surprise area who doesn't know pho and vietnamese food like I do, the price is a good options for a quick grab and go. read more

A far cry from my prior experience. Take-out order and the seafod pho I ordered was luke warm (I live 5 minutes away). The appetizer platter was less than stellar. No sauces were provided with anything. read more

When we walked in it wasn't crowded and the place was clean :). Service was good as well. We are kind of picky when it comes to our Pho. We also order our Pho with egg noodles. This establishment didn't even know if they had them and then when the waiter came back saying they did he said it was an up charge. We go to a lot of places and have never been charged for the noodle change. The flavor was not fully there and the noodles were clumpy. It was also lacking on the amount of protein. My husband said it was an extraordinary bowl of top Ramon. We won't be coming back to this establishment. read more

I absolutely love the chicken pho here! I order it every time, and it's always so fresh and delicious. My husband loves the rare steak pho as well. The $16 menu price seems a little high at first, but the portion size and quality is definitely worth it. The iced mango oolong tea is also excellent, but very sweet. I like to water it down a little bit, but it's still delicious. read more

Ordered delivery and asked for extra sauce. Received 4 basil leaves, a baggie full of wilted brown sprouts and 2 slices of jalapeno for a LARGE pho. One packed of shriracha and one packet of hoisin. They can't even pack their own sauces or give enough for a large order? Ordered spring rolls and same issue with the sprouts. They tasted rotten. read more

The food was great. The PHO was as good as any I have had in the Phoenix area. The restaurant was clean and well organized. Service was great. read more

The pho was ok. I ordered extra meat for one bowl and it looked like they didn't add any extra but charged me $3. They slice their meat very thin. The portion for the vermicelli dish I ordered was super small. Seems like they forgot half the order. Togo containers held up in the car ride. They do give you a generous portion of veggies, hot sauce and limes for your pho. This is definitely not the best pho place in Surprise but can you really get good pho in AZ? read more

First time since we were in the area. The appetizer combo was okay. The spring roll was wrapped too loose so when you bite into it, it almost falls apart. The other pieces were good. Pho was tasteless, with no flavor, they had no mint or cilantro either. Vermicelli noodles were okay, very little meat though. Service was slow and there were only 3 tables. Not impressed had much better Vietnamese food Goodyear. read more

I usually order at another restaurant, but they were closed and due to the reviews I decided to give this one a chance. Now I did order on DoorDash. My poor Dasher had to wait over 20 minutes before they left and had another Dasher had to take over. Once I receive the food my noodles were in a Chinese takeout box with a bag of the raw steak on top so basically the noodles were one giant mass. The broth container , was not even filled to the top. When I tried to separate the noodle mass with some hot broth they ended up in clumps. If that wasn't bad enough, the broth had no flavor. The whole thing ended up not being edible, unless you like noodle clumps . read more

Food is quick but beef could be a little better, other than that great flavor and always a welcoming vibe

Surprise Pho Vietnamese Restaurant - Three shrimp in the shrimp fried rice! - Vietnamese Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

By far, one of the worst PHO places that we have ever been to. We just arrived from Vegas to Avondale. Our daughters were set to compete at a tournament. As a result, we were starving. Drove up to the restaurant and there were not a lot of cars. Walked in and there was only one table with people. All the other tables were empty. MAJOR bad sign that this is not a good restaurant. My mom, wife, and daughters order the PHO. With the pho, they asked the beansprouts to be dipped in hot water. I ordered the Bun with shrimp and pork. When the pho arrived, the bowl is huge (large), but it was barely half full. My mom put the boiled beansprouts in their pho - so did my wife. when they took a bite, they knew right away that the BEAN SPROUTS were bad and old. It has that pungent smell. Unfortunately, my mom already ate a spoon full. We asked them to remove the bean sprouts immediately. Who serves rotten bean sprouts? Also, note that the noodles were brittle. This means that they OVER cooked the noodles. Very bad sign that this is a bad Vietnamese chef. As for my bun, it was okay. Noodles were bunched together and hardly any lettuce. Not good. We stayed a quick 15 minutes and left. Afterwards, all of us were still hungry. We decided to go to McDonald's to have our dinner. We would definitely not recommend this place. Stay far away from this place. read more

Small what appears to be family owned restaurant. Food tasted good but I don't know it good have been better? So I'm honestly stuck on how many stars to give. Like I felt like I had lunch at grandmas house. Ingredients could have been fresher. Portions could have been larger. But prices were low. Food was tasty. Service was great. The older woman was super kind. read more

When it comes to a good Vietnamese meal, this is the spot! Super unsuspecting from the outside. Located in a random little shopping center, but tucked away is this gem. I'm more of a traditionalist and always go with the the house phó which is a mix of beef cuts, meat balls, tendon, and a few others mixed in a hot broth, with rice noodels, bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. I'm also a sucker for spring/egg rolls so lock those up too! I normally get this to go as it's a comfort food for me and what's more comfortable than my own couch? So the soup. When to go it comes on a big tub with the mix ins separate. Warm the broth/noodles up to your liking add the rest in a big bowl grab your chop sticks and get after it! The broth is so rich and the meat packs so much flavor. I prefer heat so I add all the jalapeños and extra sriracha. The tendon is chewy, the beef is perfect, and I can't get past the broth still. Egg rolls are crispy, but I prefer the spring rolls peanut sauce to the one that is included with the egg rolls. Be sure to get to this place on a rainy day to warm you up! read more

This place is really good if you like Vietnamese food. Of course you can't ever go wrong with the delicious pho soup. But whenever I go, you must get the shaking beef. OMG it's delicious.

The service is quick for a small place. I recommend trying them out. read more

Lousy pho it's like weak beef broth you get at the grocery store I'll keep trying to find real pho

I appreciate a good pho made with a good, deep-flavored broth. In addition, I must always have fresh spring rolls with shrimp. I have tried this restaurant on three different occasions. The first time, I felt the pho was just ok. The second time, I was convinced that the meat was old and had almost become inedible. In addition, the bean sprouts were bitter. I hoped that the third visit would be better. Sadly, they did not live up to a good review. The pho broth had a flavor similar to a cheap beef bouillon. There was no depth, and the seasoning had much to be desired. One can always validate the seasoning of a good pho when it is almost empty, and one can see the spices and seasoning. Unfortunately, there was seasoning to discover. The spring roll was a good size. However, the shrimp spring roll was overpowered with chicken that tasted like it came from a Costco can. Obviously, they were trying to minimize the shrimp by adding large amounts of chicken. The peanut sauce was thin in texture and had a large amount of sugar. It was cheap-tasting at best. After watching the staff, I wondered if they had a Viet Namese Chef. I doubt it! A Three-star rating is generous, and I must find a better pho restaurant in the area. read more
