    Chicken Vermicelli
    Andrew L.

    We decided to try this new spot after Pho Spot closed and it took over the space. I was curious to see if it could match the quality of the previous restaurant, especially since the decor is pretty much the same. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. I ordered the beef pho, and my wife got the vermicelli noodles with chicken, beef, and spring rolls. Right away, we noticed some differences--no peanuts on the noodles like before, and the fish sauce was missing fresh chili peppers. Small details like that really affect the overall flavor. The meats were also disappointing. The chicken in particular was dry and lacked flavor. The spring rolls were probably the best part of the meal--decent, but nothing standout. As for the pho, the broth was lacking depth and richness. It just didn't have the same comforting, flavorful taste that it did when Pho Spot was here. While the service was fine and we had no issues there, the food quality felt like a step down, and the prices are higher than expected. I wasn't expecting the exact same menu, but I did hope for similar--or better--quality. Sadly, that wasn't the case, and I'm not sure I'd return.

    We used to come to The Pho Spot all the time but now it's changed to The Pho House. The menu is much bigger with Chinese and Thai food added into the menu. There's even wings! This always makes me nervous because I prefer a restaurant that is good at one thing rather than mediocre at many. As we sat fown, we scanned the QR code for the menu. This was so confusing. We each ordered from our own phone but it only showed our Individual order and when you order on your phone, you each have to log in with your information I'd consider the food to be more fusion than authentic but it was good. The portions are large. I ordered the vermicelli combo with chicken, beef and spring roll. Everything was good but the meat doesn't have that Vietnamese marinade.

    Date night with hubby and we decided to try the Pho House, which took over the Pho Spot - one of my fav for pho soup. All the decor remained the same as before from the previous owner, but just the store name and menu has changed. I ordered chicken beef spring roll with vermicelli noodles. I was disappointed they don't serve pork here. The chicken and beef were a bit bland and dry. The dish was also missing crushed peanuts. The egg roll was good and I liked that they weren't cheap on the veggies. I also sampled from my husband of pho with beef and it was decent and definitely tastes better than my dish. Price point is slightly higher than other local Vietnamese restaurants. I'm not sure if we'll come back as they do not serve pork but is a stable protein in many Vietnamese dishes.

    We came on Friday for dinner and the place was packed. We got lucky and seated pretty quickly. They have some long tables in the middle so our party of 2 was seated in between two other parties at both ends. Right after us there were several parties that had a bit of a wait. What we ordered: - 2 bowls of Pho Beef Combo - Fried Chicken Wings I went to this location before when it was another place called "The Pho Spot" but I didn't even realize that it is under new management. I had high hopes for it because the last place had actually some good pho broth. I'd have to say this broth is decent but I personally prefer the other one. I had an issue with one of my meat balls being frozen on the inside. I bit into it and immediately spit it out. I called the server over and she seemed flustered and just offered me another meatball. I declined and she left. Then I thought about it and called her back over to ask if they could give me another protein instead. The manager came over with some beef pieces for me and apologized for the issue. He said sometimes due the size of the meatball they can come across this issue. The wings were good and I appreciate this place being halal, as the last restaurant here was too. It gives more people a chance to eat Vietnamese cuisine.

    I stopped in at this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked into a busy restaurant and sat after while and was served by Donna! I ordered: Thai Ice Tea Vietnamese Fried Chicken Pho Beef Short Rib House Crab Fried Rice Grilled Rice Platter I really enjoyed the food! My favorite was definitely the house crab fried rice! It was super flavorful! I also really loved the pho! I had a really good experience!

    Tried Pho House with some friends as we decided to give it a shot. Not your typical authentic Vietnamese restaurant but the food was pretty tasty. The Banh Mi wasn't very traditional and the pho definitely needed bigger portion of meats for the price, but the broth was delicious. Service was fine and the seating was spacious and modern.It was a decent meal but I'll always prefer the mom and pop authentic joints better. The Pho House is still worth a try!

    We were visiting from California and found our new favorite pho spot, so sad it's so far away. Deep flavored broth and the homemade chili oil is so flavorful. Very friendly staff

    My niece wanted to try this Vietnamese restaurant so we came to check it out. Two in our party got the Thai tea. One person liked theirs more than the other. Ordered crab rice and the fried wings. Someone in the reviews complained that it was only 5 wings for $10. But it's an appetizer, not an entree. Others complained about the portions and not enough meat in their pho. But 3 out of 4 of us got pho and the portions were just fine. It was plenty. I think some are just looking for a reason to complain. I got a beef bahn mi and I thought it was just fine. Not the best one I've had but it was still good. If you're thinking about visiting, would absolutely recommend it. We got a young woman as our waitress and she was amazing. Very friendly and attentive and all of our food came out just as we asked. We felt very welcomed. And I will absolutely return, especially for the pho!

    The Pho House is quite trendy for a pho place with a very beautiful interior, booths, and art. It almost has a brewery feel. It still has a casual vibe with very nice servers and the food comes out quickly. The vegetarian summer rolls were delicious although the peanut sauce may have been one notch too close to peanut butter for me. I still enjoyed eating it a lot though. The vegetarian pho is very tasty. I loved the baby bok choy and mushrooms. The broth was very peppery with cinnamon notes. My husband also liked his beef pho (custom make your own with rare beef- essentially pho tai). He said the flavors could have been slightly more developed. Overall it was a delicious meal and I would eat here again.

    This is not your classic, authentic Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered the Pho Beef Combo, which only includes beef meatballs, brisket, and rare steak (halal). They don't offer options like tripe or tendon. The broth was standard, and the service was good, but overall it was just okay -- nothing too special. Personally, I prefer supporting smaller, local, family owned Vietnamese restaurants that offer a more traditional and authentic experience. This restaurant was previously under different management and was called "The Pho Spot." If I were to come back, I'd be interested in trying the Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which seems to be pretty popular.

    Delicious and pretty good serving, so much to choose from, nice atmosphere, Thank you ALI, you were such an smiling and charming server

    Beef short rib pho
    Laureen Y.

    Food came out pretty fast. It was our first time here. They have a discount if you pay cash its like only $5 less when paid with card. We ordered beef short rib pho, spring rolls, and beef pho. Not crowded by the time we got there we went on a wednesday around 6pm. Food was great my short rib was already off the bone.

It came with peanut sauce but we opted for fish sauce because of our daughter's peanut allergy. The rice paper wasn't soft and it felt rubbery. It was hard at the edges and made us wonder if it was premade. We wished it was fresher. S21 Bun Rieu, which is crab meat pork in tomato shrimp paste noodle soup. Daughter liked it and wasn't disappointed by it. D4- Mi Xao Dơn Do Biển, which is a combination of seafood and vegetables stir fried in a light sauce and served over crispy noodles. I was a little disappointed with this entree. We expected it to be egg noodles but it wasn't. There was hardly any proteins but mostly vegetable fillers. A9- Banh Xeo, which is coconut and rice flour crepe filled with a savory combination of bean sprouts and shrimp that's served on a bed of lettuce. This was ok but it wasn't as soft. The omelet tasted like it was overdone. I'm not sure if it was because we just came back from our trip to Los Angeles where all the Vietnamese food were top-notch but I felt a little disappointed with this place. Service was quick and friendly. Glad we got to try this place!

For our entrees, we both ordered the oxtail pho. It looked very appetizing when it arrived. I always like to take a sip of the broth before adding any condiments so I can appreciate its natural flavor.

Overall, the experience had a strong start with friendly service and prompt food delivery, but the lack of follow-up service and the underwhelming broth left me disappointed. With a more flavorful broth and more attentive service throughout the meal, this could be a much better dining experience.

Plenty of original watercolors displayed and for sale on the walls. David the proprietor seemed to be handling most of the operation himself.

The result was a crisp sliced Katsu-like cutlet with nice flavor and long crunchy chew. The Intestine was also crisp and filled with green beans that mixed well with the hardened shell and soft innards. Not my fave, but my lovely partner ate it enthusiastically. The Fish and Chili was very good, with tender lightly breaded white fish fillets and red chili sauce that included small pieces of celery, sprouts and cabbage, in a large bowl. Finally, the lunch sized Orange Beef was delicious with sweet and spicy amber sauce coating the pieces of lightly crisped beef. Ubiquitous broccoli sprigs added color to the dish. Service was friendly and accommodating. David was happy to interact and talk about his business there. Red Onion is a Five Star keeper.
