If you've been to one Pho place, then you pretty much get the gist of it. This one seemed like a popular spot for lunch when I walked in and parking was limited. Super clean place and quicker service! Certainly a pure Vietnamese menu. Obviously, I came for the Pho. Ordered the chicken and some water. The condiments plate was perfect and fresh. My Pho bowl was way more than I needed. Silly me put too much sriracha in my Pho so when I got down to just the broth, my mouth was on fire. Thank you to the staff for refilling my water 4 times. This is a great location to get your Pho fix. 5 stars for being exactly what I wanted! read more

North Raleigh needs to appreciate this Vietnamese gem, whether it's for eat-in or take out. They are a little tucked away (Spring Forest Road next to Jason's Deli and Saints & Scholars). Don't let them be out of sight, out of mind, because the food is outstanding! Two of us had a late lunch a couple weeks ago and the food was light and so fresh. I had the grilled shrimp and Sis got her fave, the grilled pork. Place is spotless and terrific service. read more

This place has excellent fresh food with authentic flavors. The family owned restaurant has friendly staff, and the owner is patient and friendly. The restaurant was clean. The music was on point and was not ear-piercing. The ambience is cozy and beautifully decorated with Asian pictures. The location is easy to find. There was a constant flow of customers. I drove 40 min to try food from this restaurant, and I will return to dine there again today. There is a display of meals prepared by staff playing on a flatscreen tv. The videos helped to explain different menu items. What a great educational tool for customers! Asian food is diverse and does not have the same flavors or menu items. I enjoyed Vietnamese food from this restaurant. I highly recommend this place. Eat local, and check it out! Help celebrate the Lunar New Year by enjoying a bowl of Pho! read more

I grabbed chicken pho and pork summer rolls to go. The summer rolls were decent but I found the pork to be fairly dry. The pho was just fine -- not the best I've had, but still comforting on a chilly day. The staff seemed super nice when I came in to pick up my food. I'd dine in next time and try something else from the tasty menu! read more

Parking lot was packed, it's like a shopping center area. Lots of businesses around. I went when they opened @ 11am and it was already like that. Don't let that deter you though. The area of Raleigh it's located in seems very busy. I ended up deciding to order take Order papaya salad $18 and vermicelli with grilled pork and eggrolls $18 The papaya salad is a lot sweeter than I like. I like that they come with shrimp chips! I like that there were peppers, pork and shrimp. The vermicelli grilled pork and eggrolls was good. I was sad there was only 3 pieces of egg roll. I wish the pork had more of a grilled/char taste. But not a big deal. It was still good. Clean tables, nice dining area. Good music playing. I sat at the dining table closest to the ordering desks. Do not recommend for people dining in. But if you dine in you just go sit at a table and they have QR codes on the table that pulls up the menu. Someone was smoking outside and the door was open so that wasn't enjoyable. read more

A gem of a place. We found this mom and pop place by accident and just loved the food. We ordered the Bun bo hue noodle soup and Bun which was refreshing dinner on a hot day. We also ordered the pork rice dish for our son who liked his dinner as well. The service was very personable and we will definitely be back to visit again. read more

Sunday afternoon- not crowded. Found this restaurant on yelp - it's not a big place , only about 30 seats. Looks like ta typical family run place. Pho was very good - nice soup, different types of beef. The rice noodle was not as al dente , it's too easy to break. Could've been in the soup too long. Other than that, all good. Grilled pork bhan mi was very good. Lots of pork, cilantro and the spicy pepper gives the right amount of kick. Definitely worth a try. read more

I love Vietnamese food. My husband and I discovered Uptown Pho about a year ago. We feel like we discovered a treasure! We love their Vermicelli bowls, Pho, Banh Mi, and more!! The staff is incredibly friendly and service is outstanding. It's family owned and they take great pride in their food and restaurant. Food is always outstanding and we look forward to our weekly visits. I highly recommend Uptown Pho! read more

This place is a absolute must try. I was looking for a good place nearby for pho, after seeing the reviews and peaked my interest and everyone is right! From the food to the service, it was definitely an excellent lunch. Food came out pretty fast and it was just packed with different flavors plus there's two homemade hot sauces that really elevate the dish. I highly recommend the one pointed in the photo. I ordered the rare steak pho, the broth was super flavorful, and it came with a side dish containing mint leaves, jalapeños slices, limes, and bean sprouts were pretty fresh. The service was phenomenal. They're really quick and nice. And it's very cozy inside. It's not too big but it's a perfect place to come for a quick lunch or a good dinner. They had a pretty fish tank and the news playing. I came around lunchtime and was filled, but not too packed. I will 100% make this my new regular spot. And absolutely perfect on a cold day. read more

Pretty good! Came here on a Saturday around 6 for some takeout. First time here. Staff were friendly. Restaurant is clean. That includes the fish tank in the back! wish the Bun Bo Hue had blood or pork hock but it was still a balanced amount of meat, veggies, and noodles. Wish it was spicier. Ordered pho for my kid which she eat happily. The broth was too sweet for my taste. Spicy lemongrass chicken was nice and very tender. Comes with rice. I recommend ordering the summer rolls! I'd come back to try out the pork dishes. read more

Excellent Pho, a "cousin" of Midtown Pho, the restaurant is a bit smaller on the inside but their pho is definitely a bit of a step up, which is not to take ANYTHING away from Midtown, but Uptown's broth is absolutely FIRE! Table service is super friendly and quick, everyone had a smile and a kind inquiry about how we were enjoying our Pho. Going back to get a Banh Mi and a bowl of Pho before the weekend. read more

The foods were extremely salty. Used Monosodium glutamate (MSG) = sodium glutamate = sodium salt of glutamic acid. Used poor quality ingredients yet the cost is quite high. Don't waste your money! Give bad name to Vietnamese foods. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant actually has a modern decor and ambiance. Staff is super friendly from the time you walk in. Bon Bo hue was very good and on point as was the bahn mi. You won't be disappointed. This will definitely be one of my go to's. read more

Best Pho in the triangle bar none! Service was quick and speedy, comparable to the best pho I have had on the East Coast!

Love love love! Food is great. Service is great. Goi du du - papaya salad is so refreshing and delicious. Bun rieu - so much better than any other Vietnamese restaurant who pre-steam a small dish of eggs. This one you can taste the crab the seafood. Quail - can't say much since my husband ate it. He liked it ‍. Wish this place was bigger. Price was a bit on the high side but if the food is fresh, it's well worth the money. read more

Uptown Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Absolutely amazingly fresh: this is the real deal. We just tried Uptown Pho today for a late lunch and it was a fabulous delight. It is located in a small plaza, with ample parking. The place itself is very clean and simple in atmosphere and settings but the foods are very complex and flavorful. Service was very fast and friendly. Be sure to ask for the specials that are listed up front but are not found on their printed menu. We started off with the papaya salad as a shared appetizer--WOW--this was truly one of the best salads we've ever had! We also ordered the house special pho and the combination vermicelli dish--BOTH were also on point. All were very good portions and had such fresh vegetables and ingredients. We loved it so much we ordered takeout for our niece and nephew and dropped it off for them to try for dinner (which they also loved). We will be sure to come back every time we are in town. So so so good. read more

Their pho is by far the best in the area. I vary between ordering their house special, or just the beef pho, and it's always amazing. The broth is just so flavorful, and the staff are sweet. I've dined in once, and the service was pretty fast but I went for lunch. Typically I order take out, and the food is always ready before I get there. The beef slices come raw, which is typical for these type of dishes, and I prefer that as I can control how the meat gets cooked. Overall just a nice cute restaurant! read more

Excellent Vietnamese food. Quickly prepared, efficient, friendly service. I have been here a dozen times since they open and won't go anywhere else. Owned by the same people as Midtown Pho, but service is much quicker and people are nicer. read more

Good food. Good service. Good if you've never had pho before. However, I've had the house special bowl from NY to California to Florida, etc., and in comparison the broth was a bit too sweet, not hot enough, and the brisket was cooked without trimming the fat, which is inedible. Anyone who smokes or bakes brisket knows the fat will not render out if thicker than a quarter inch. This made the experience a little worse. Your mileage may vary. Overall worth a try to see if you like their take on pho. read more
