Best pho in the area. period. Especially useful to soothe a sore throat or clear sinuses.

The name is frighteningly appropriate. Our Arizonian hosts are former residents of Oahu, a mecca of Asian cuisine. They know their stuff. After visiting just about every place in Scottsdale and the surrounding area they settled on a new favorite. unPhogettable is a clean and modernly decorated mini-mall storefront. For those of you who aren't familiar Pho it's an incredibly flavorful Thai soup that's actually pretty healthy, depending on the preparation and cuts of meat you decide on. This particular place boasts they're MSG and trans-fat free. When it came time to order I left it up to our the pros, our hosts, and was so pleased with their recommendations. We started with the Soft Spring Rolls, fresh and simple ($3.45) and Egg Rolls (fried to perfection and accompanied by a tangy sauce ($4.95). My entree was a GIGANTIC bowl of Pho with rare steak (a value at $7.50). I could only eat about half of my portion and that was pushing it. So good. The only thing better was the service. They were incredibly attentive. read more

This is my other favorite phô in the Mesa-gilbert. My wife and I enjoyed the 4 and the 31 salad. We got it to go and even that was lovely. Delicious broth and all the right additions. read more

I had the #1. It was pretty tasty. The broth could have used more flavor. Overall it was good. 3 stars because it was $8.50 for a normal size bowl which was still a bit small compared to others. Where I'm from its $5-6 for a regular and $6-7 for a large bowl. I paid $10 after tax and tip. That is ridicules for a bowl of pho. Apparently the owner said they use all natural ingredients. I really don't care and I probably won't go back unless if they drop their prices. read more

Pretty good pho for the Mesa area, the pho I think had a hint of MSG, but overall well cooked noodles, good beef slices, fast and nice service, clean, and good portions. Prices are more than I expected for the Mesa area, but not unreasonable. read more

So I've never had Vietnamese Pho before (pronounced fu, as in fun, without the n) and I decided to try it with a friend of mine who speaks Vietnamese and would be able to tell me what to order and what I was eating and also steer me to the best place in town so I'd have a positive initial Pho experience and want to go back again and again. unPHOgettable is tucked into an Asian cultural center just south of Main Street on Dobson on the west side of the road and is part of the Asian grocery story, but has it's own entrance and eating area. It had a pretty nice atmosphere, the owner was very helpful and even recognized my friend and his wife as we walked in (I figured they either eat there quite a bit, or the owner remembers him because he doesn't likely see very many tall, geeky, white kids who speak Vietnamese). The menu had a very wide selection and did a decent job of explaining what each of the items are. The owner offered to go over the menu with us, since it was our first time, but my friend told him that he would handle it. The place was pretty clean and the staff was very helpful. My only minor complaint was that there was a minor fish odor in the air, but I wasn't quite sure if it was the restaurant's fish or the adjoining Asian grocery store that had the fishy smell. Either way it wasn't overpowering and didn't detract from our meal at all. I ordered Pho with thin sliced beef and tendon. I have to admit, that when I looked at the menu, I thought tendon was tenderloin, so I assumed I was ordering thin strips of beef with beef junks. It wasn't until my friend's wife repeated my order with an emphasis on TENDON that I realized what I ordered. Either way though, I'm pretty adventurous so I figured I'd give it a shot. My wife ordered a flat noodle meal instead of the soup since she's had it before. The food didn't take long and we were brought our enormous bowls of Pho with all the trimmings. I added a decent amount of hoisen sauce, and an even more decent amount of hot sauce. The broth in my bowl actually ended up pretty dark red. I added in my bean sprouts, tore up my basil and plopped in my jalapeños to boot. I dug in and was amazed at how great it tasted. I wasn't really amazed that it tasted good, but that it tasted SO good AND I'd never had it before. Why had people kept this a secret from me? It was fantastic and right up my alley. Soup, hot sauce and noodles. I wolfed mine down and even tried my wife's noodle dish, not really enough to give a thorough review, but it was good, and I'd try it again. The prices weren't bad, I ended up paying about $22 for the two of us to eat our meals and a small appetizer split between 4 people. Range: $7.50 - $12.00. Sorry for posting without pictures, but I'm sure I'll be back and append some pics to this after my next bowl. Because of this place, I am now a fan of Vietnamese food, specifically the Pho soup.

The service and hosts are super-friendly. I came here with friends and it seemed like they have many regulars since the host and waitresses knew customers by name or remembered something about them = good sign! The prices were a bit more than what i expected - around $7.50-$8.50 for a regular or specialty pho. I am originally from san diego - this place is decent. The broth isnt as aromatic for what i am used to but pretty good for mesa! The bowls come out big but have a lot of soup rather noodles. They are generous with their beansprouts & basil. Its conveniently located in mekong plaza so you can do grocery shopping before or after. read more

It was worth the drive. This place was clean and the service was excellent. Ordered Bun Rieu and it was one of the best.

Its rare for me to want to give a pho restaurant five stars. Usually they either lack in service or cleanliness or tastes like msg. But no, this restaurant really lives up to it's name The mom and I came here before grocery shopping inside Mekong. The staff were really friendly and speedy in taking orders. It did take a while for our pho's to come out but they say it's because they make everything in order of ticket. Made to order pho?? I can't complain. Meanwhile, it being our first time there, we decided to indulge in their spring rolls. There was nothing but shrimp, lettuce and noodle in the roll but surprisingly, flavorful. We get the pho. The soup tastes clean and fresh. There seemed to be lots of cilantro in it which I LOVEEEED and my mom loved how it didnt taste like they poured in MSG. Large portion of noodles, lots of meat, and clean bean sprouts!! Perfect for a hungry stomach. Definitely unPHOgettable =p read more

The Pho was not unphogettable by any means but it was very good. If I could choose between this place and Pho Thanh up on Camelback in Phoenix, I would take Pho Thanh any day. Nevertheless, this is a good option if you are craving Pho and want a no nonsense place in Mesa. read more

Have been to this place many times. Would visit it twice a week. Such a regular that the server already knew my order. Last time I was there I found a worm in my soup. All they did was offer an apology and that's it. Even though I did not even eat half of my food they still made me pay for it. It's unfortunate that the food is good but treatment to loyal customers is so bad. read more

this place was pretty awesome. cheap, quality food, great customer service and quick. Somehow the laws of physics cease to exist on their stoves cause they get your food out fast.. Over all the food was great read more

The food was so good! My friend and I both had the brisket pho and we shared the crispy spring rolls. The pho was excellent! The brisket was tender and delicious. The pho broth was very tasty! The spring rolls were also very good. We never felt ignored because the service was fantastic. Everyone working there was very attentive, polite, and quick. I would definitely go back. Perfect food on a cold night, too! read more

Great location within the Mekong Plaza. However, the Pho Dac biet price has now gone up to $9.25 a bowl now! Their quality is still decent, good broth and good amounts of meat in the soup but this is far too expensive for a bowl of Pho now. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon until they adjust the price. If i can get a bowl of Pho for about $6.50 -$7.50 on the West side with better quality then there is no incentive to return to here anymore. read more

Yummmmy! I love this place.. Only bad thing is that's in Mekong market (which makes me spend too much money). I would come back because service and pho was pho-nomenial! ;) read more

I have spent three years in Tucson to try most Pho. I always think Phoenix has better than Tucson. Also, one of my colleagues recommended this place to me several month ago. I finally came and tried this weekend and was totally disappointed. The service was great. We didn't wait for table and didn't wait too long for food. (The waitress was very thoughtful. I ordered vege noodle and spring eggroll, but didn't realize the eggroll had meat/seafood or vege/tofu options. She pointed out, and let us to do half and half. Other than that I might give 2 stars.) I had Thai tea, which was not surprised. It was actually like something you could find in grocery store and make at home. My boyfriend had the #1 Pho. The soup was most disappointing part. read more

I really like this place! I tried their beef pho and it was amazing! I will recommend this place to anybody, try it!

Love their Pho! I think they have the best flavored broth out of any other places I have tried. Their prices are rather high for essentially a bowl of Top Ramen with some brisket, but it's still quite tasty! When two of us get Pho and drinks, I believe the total is usally around $20-$25. If money's tight, there are several cheaper options in the area that are still very good. My only complaint (again) is the price. Not sure why noodles, broth, and a few slices of meat are so expensive. read more

I like their chicken pho the best out of many other places I've tried in the valley. They're fast and super friendly! I luv it!

I love coming here for a big bowl of tasty pho! I bring new people here and have never had a disappointed reaction. It's fun to go explore the market and bakery once you're there too. read more

We love this place. The owners are super attentive and the service is fast, friendly and efficient. We all have our faves: Veggie Autumn Rolls, the beef or chicken pho, the vermicelli salad with grilled chicken, the fried rice (ask for their housemade chili sauce - WOW!), the fresh coconut drink, the thai tea, the soda water & lime, their dessert with shaved ice and jellied fruits. Gah!! So many good things!! (stop by the bakery next door to take some goodies for tomorrow's breakfast!) read more

I'd never tried Pho before and it's not my cup of Tea, but the staff was great and the appetizer was amazing. I've always loved all things Japanese, Chinese, and Korean and I walked in looking for something similar... just keep that in mind when ordering. read more

so good... and great customer service too. i'm bringing my family here when they come here for a visit. read more

Being from California and having tried many different pho houses, I was pleasantly surprised with the food quality at unphogettable. I was with a group of 15 people during a pretty packed lunch rush, yet the service was quick and attentive. If I'm ever back in this part of Arizona, then I'll surely go back to eat there. Overall, good prices, good service, good food. Yeah, it was pretty unphogettable. read more

One of my favorite Pho joints in the east valley. The Manager and his wife are very friendly, my fiance and I Love this play. They actually give good service as well, which is hard to find at small business azn restaurants read more

I came here with a bunch of my friends after a late night. The service was great and fast. They were super friendly to us! I get my usual pho tai which is super basic with just rare steak and noodles in broth. The broth flavor is decent but not as flavorful as I would like. It's decent quality but I do enjoy other places more. The spring rolls are good and authentic and the sauce is yummy. Overall, your average pho place. Decently good but not the best I've ever had. :/ read more

The pho is so yummy and ingredients are fresh! The staff is super friendly.

Pretty good. Looked it up on Google Local. Only one size. Recommend at least once. Also, the shrimp, rice paper roll is really good (A1). You should try it. read more

Super delicious! They have super flavorful broth in the beef pho. Love the sides of mint and jalepeno. Have been 3 times in the last month. Can't beat 10 for a filling and yummy dinner. read more

I'm really not a fan. But I could be bias because I lived in So Cal, and grew up eating San Gabriel Valley and Garden Grove pho really makes you a pho connoisseur. My boyfriend did warn me to lower my expectations but for a place that has this many good reviews I would imagine it being good. I don't think I got my pho fix, the portions are small. Gave it an extra star because the staff are really attentive and nice. read more

Great selection of delicious pho. Decent prices. Quick attentive service. The decor is fairly utilitarian but still the darker colors and authentic Vietnamese decorations make it more than classy enough for a soup joint. The staff was quick, friendly and attentive. The fact that there's a great Vietnamese bakery right next door doesn't hurt come desert time, either! read more

Simply the best pho in the valley. The broth is outstanding. The owners are always coming around to the tables to make sure you are happy. The spring rolls are also great. I have had pho in at least 20 different Vietnamese restaurants around the country and this is the best. read more

Super bomb! From the egg rolls to the fried rice with shrimp/pork to the beef pho! Everything was soooo delicious and fresh! Id definitely come here again! read more

The pho here is pretty good and flavorful but it's pricer than the other Vietnamese restaurants. The crispy spring rolls are very bland which is pretty disappointing. Their grilled pork is pretty good especially over noodles and the portion is HUGE! We'll definitely return again when we're in the area. read more

Extremely attentive, kind staff (even when the place was really busy and my 8 month old kept knocking spoons on the floor!) Ordered the #7 but with the S1 broth and #37. Everything was very delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

This is my go-to for any meal honestly. I love how quick and easy everything is. The service can be strange to those who aren't used to Asian owned establishments. But I enjoy that there's no forced conversations and unnecessary check ups on us while we eat. So, service is straight to the point and quick! The food though, is never disappointing for me. I choose to eat here for hang overs, for a quick lunch, and sometimes even just a quick spring roll snack. I highly recommend! It's just delicious food with good service and the owner will always remember your face :) read more

Worst Pho restaurant. Overpriced, small portions, nothing special. Considering the fact that it's nearby so many other competitions, this place is not worth eating at. Definitely Phogettable! read more

I have been to other Pho places, and realize how good this one is. I have been a few times, and decided to take my mom to a different Pho place. I shouldn't have, this is the place to go for the best Pho. read more

The pho and Thai tea were great. I'd maybe prefer a "fast food" variant, since the pho, drink, and tip were about $16 - kinda a lot for a work lunch... but it WAS great food! Also, our server showed us the "right" way to eat pho with the sauces - thanks for the tip, it was yummmmmmy! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The food is amazing and the customer service is probably the best I've ever experienced. Every time my boyfriend and I dine here the owner visits with us and asks how we are, etc. I've only had Pho at a couple of places in town so I can't speak to the authenticity but it tastes amazing and fresh every time. Places that make good food and offer the kind of customer service these places do (and family owned is always a plus for me!) are just priceless. UnPhogettable is always worth the drive to Mesa. read more
