Viet Pho - Very clean and bright - Vietnamese Near Me - Albany, Georgia

I am utterly confused. I'm not even sure what to write and how to describe this place because it muddled my mind. I walked in on a Friday night and the place was near empty. There were two groups here. A middle-aged white couple sitting in a booth to the left as we walked in and they had a spread of food out on their table. It looked good. Then there was the Vietnamese family sitting together at a larger table in the center of the room enjoying a meal together. I was perplexed, because I felt like there should be more people here. My first question to myself: Why aren't there more people here? My family sat down in a booth along the back wall and my wife was interested in the little shrine near the hallway to the bathrooms. She took a picture of it. It looked like a Buddhist shrine and it was very curious. Things only got more confusing for me. The waitress finally brought us a couple of menus and there was way too much for me to process in a short time. Things were anglicized and described over several pages and there were multitudes of options everywhere. Tripe and Bible-this and that and chicken and seafood options all under generic rice, noodle, appetizer, descriptions. I had no idea what to order. I was just baffled. There was no way I could figure it out so when I finally ordered I took a pick and it happened to be the same thing my wife chose, so I chose something else real fast under the noodle section. I honestly think I made a mistake. First, let me say the service was kind of sub-par. The drinks weren't really filled in a timely manner which wasn't very acceptable considering we had 3 parties in the restaurant, max, at any time. The food didn't come out in proper order. I don't even know what I ordered, but my appetizer showed up with my entree and all of that arrived after my wife's order. My wife's food looked really good and I wish I had stuck with my original pick. It looked like beef tips with peppers and a side of rice and it was succulent. It was nicely plated and the food was very good. The piece of beef my wife offered to me was delicious and fell apart in my mouth. Everything about her dish was nice. It was plated well and the food was well cooked. I was jealous at the end. The kids shared a chicken wing plate with fries. We chose the lemon pepper flavor because my stepson doesn't really eat anything hot. I can agree with him when I say they were not good. They bathed those wings in lemon pepper. It was overwhelming. So much so that I had to dip them in my broth to wash some of it off, because it was salty. My food arrived and the final confusion set in for me. I had a bowl of soup with beef in it and white noodles. There was a side plate brought with a fresh herb and sliced, plain jalapenos and a couple of lime wedges. What in the world was I supposed to do with this? I honestly had no clue and no instruction was offered. I sat and stared at my plate. The shrimp spring rolls were brought also with a bare amount of sauce. It was hot and tasty I suppose, but the sauce was kind of bland and not really paired well. The soup was edible, but the herbs and jalapenos did nothing for it. At one point I got a couple of raw jalapeno seeds that made me cough a few times and decided to remove the side plate item from the soup. I wasn't sure if I needed to approach the gigantic bowl with a soup ladle or chopsticks. I started with the spoon and then went to chopsticks. I eventually put some sriracha and soy sauce in the broth, because it was bland to me. I felt mild disappointment eating it, but it was overall okay I suppose. I had remorse over not choosing my first option. Overall, the service wasn't great and everything confused me. The food was generally good or excellent, but the wings were a real disappointment with the seasoning. The plating and everything looked nice and I would return, but I would have to try to find a safer bet (I would not get a noodle anything if I came back). I would say the place is worth a try if you're interested in Vietnamese food. read more

Great price, love the seafood pho, spring rolls, egg rolls and coconut bubble drinks! This is a decent restaurant that has me coming back for their spring rolls and egg rolls. Service is decent, but I noticed there was only one waitress each time I visited. If you like seafood, try the seafood pho. read more

Wow wow wow wow wow this place is good. After moving to SW Georgia, I really found myself missing the great Vietnamese restaurants in Atlanta. I stopped here on the way home from a meeting and was pleasantly surprised with the flavors, quality, and reasonable prices. While the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli dish isn't much to look at, it tastes incredible. I also like to order the marinated beef dish. The staff are very friendly, I always make sure to order from here when I'm in the area. read more

I ate here with a couple friends, we had a great time. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly!!

I ate here one night for dinner, and went back again the next night it was so good. The inside could use some fixing up. It has kind of a convenience store feel. Really good food though. read more

My first time in here. He helped me with the menu and let me know which dishes were the most popular. I'm not big on steak or pork so of course chicken was the choice. He suggested the lemongrass chicken vermicelli. Told me everything that comes in it and also let me know about the peanut contents just in case I was allergic. Most places don't even take the time to look at the menu with you And I appreciate that he helped me. Will be back read more

I just order the Korean BBQ ribs and they were amazing!!!!!!!! It can with a side of perfectly steam rice and beef soup!!!!!!! I will definitely be ordering again!!!!!!!! read more

I was flying into rural GA and I struck up a conversation with a small family sitting next to me as we waited to disembark the plane. The son saw that I was looking at Yelp for a restaurant to eat at and he invited me to come to their restaurant the next day for lunch. I am glad a did. Viet Pho was a small, clean, family atmosphere with good Vietnamese food. I had the fresh spring rolls and the combination Pho. The fresh spring rolls were good size and were tasty with the standard peanut dipping sauce. I wonder if they use local peanuts for the sauce? The combination Pho had good flavored plenty of the combination protein which included tendon, tripe and a few cooked meats. If you are not an adventurous eater or a pho veteran, I would stick to some of the other Pho selections. Tendon and tripe can take some getting used to. Overall I was very please to have met this Vietnamese family on the plane. It is great to see a little bit of diversity on the food scene in rural GA. read more

Good Vietnamese restaurant with large portions. Started out with the egg rolls - very good. For the entree, I had the P11 - Pho with well done flank and eye round steak. Pho was good but not overly flavorable - seemed to be missing "somerhing" but once I put the sirachi and hosin sauce in it, it was pretty dang good. The service was fantastic. Recommend. read more

FINALLY!!! an experience in albany that has me speechless - i am thrilled that I decided to go outside our normal family box and take my wife and kids here - this place was amazing and was a great experience for my family - the kids were very sceptical and almost terrified at first but now can't wait to go back - we started out with an order of pork spring rolls and shrimp spring rolls (both were fantastic) - i had the large bowl of pho and I think my daughter had pork bun, the wife had the deluxe seafood combo with noodles and my son had pho as well - and we all loved it!!! - with it being all of their first Vietnamese experience we all shared and tasted each other's food - I'm sure the staff and other customers had a good chuckle at us but it just added to our experience - if you are in albany and are not afraid to try something new and different that will make your taste buds pop out of your mouth then give viet pho a visit - you will not be sorry you did read more

Moved here from the West Coast where there are pho restaurants EVERYWHERE. Was so happy to find out that there was pho here. When I tried it for the first time I couldn't believe how good it was!! Even better than the dozens of pho restaurants I've tried in the West Coast!!! 5 stars hands down. read more

Best place in Albany! Had to stay in Albany for 4 weeks and this was the only place that I found that I liked. We visited three different times and each time it was quick and tasted delicious. Had the pho and the fried rice meals. It was a good amount of food for the price also! read more

I was excited to see that Albany was getting a Vietnamese restaurant when I first saw the "Coming Soon" sign go up, and had been dying to try it. The restaurant is small and comfortable, the staff are friendly, and there is a good selection of pho and sides to choose from. The prices are good, and the food was delicious. Best of all, I no longer have to go to Macon or Atlanta when I get a pho craving! I'm glad to have a Vietnamese food option in South Georgia, and hope Viet Pho will stay open for a long time! read more

Would've given them 4 stars but they brought my pho to me with onions in it after I asked for no onions. Usually not a big deal but I could tell they just took it in the back and scraped it off my dish instead of making me a new one because I still found little pieces of onion in my soup. other than that, very good tasting food. I would go back if I lived in the area. read more

Yup! One of my favorite family owned restaurants in town!! The service is great and the FOOD IS AMAZING!!

This restaurant has been owned by a few different people. I loved the first family and the current family. The food is very good and the owners come and talk to you and make sure you're having a good time. They care what you think of them. The spring rolls and pho are delicious! I also love the banh mi and bun (vermicelli) bowls! read more

They've added cilantro! Great Pho! Sandwiches were a little small in size and variety but the Pho is great.

The food here is fantastic. I've eaten in and taken carry out to my hotel and I've never been disappointed. Service is on point too. If you've never had Vietnamese food don't be scared to come here, they'll help you find what you'll like! read more

My sister in law took me here sometimes when we were down in Albany. You would not expect there's a good Vietnamese restaurant in southwest GA. But this one is! Always here for the pho. It was so very very good. The food isn't pricey, which is awesome. The place is clean. The staff are friendly and nice. read more

I've always driven past this restaurant but never made the effort to dine in. Boy was that a mistake! I went here for dinner with my brothers during the week and we were some of the few patrons. However, don't be fooled! It was pretty great and I would definitely come back again. There was ample seating, the staff was very attentive, and overall I felt a homey vibe which was a nice change from the restaurants I normally frequent in Albany. The menu is expansive and I'm sure you'd be able to find something very tasty. If you're in the mood for Vietnamese food, choose Viet Pho!! read more

I could not believe I found this in Albany. Really great & friendly staff. I'm hoping Albany will give these folks their biz so they can stay around! Go in and ask questions and get recommendations and enjoy. Pho (chicken) was good, bun was fantastic (we tried shrimp, and pork) and chicken with rice was also fantastic. read more

If you love Vietnamese food and pho this is definitely a restaurant you should consider. I always stick to the pho and leave out the tripe. The egg rolls with fish sauce are the best egg rolls I've ever had. Service could be better though. There's large pho portions but small entree portions. Boba drinks are awesome!! read more

Really good reminds me of my grandma's cooking. Service was awesome, server was super nice and friendly. I'm glad I stopped by while I was in albany. I'll definitely come again! read more

Good Vietnamese food around town and for miles away. I'm from Atlanta and we have a great number of selection in Vietnamese cuisine. This place is pretty decent for a small town. They still have most of the basic Vietnamese menu, but if you compare this restaurant in compare to Atlanta's, well let's say I have better food and service. read more
