Our next option was to check Yelp and this place looked promising. It was just about a couple of miles away and had plenty of good reviews. We drove down the main strip and headed to our alternate destination. It's located inside a weird-looking interior strip mall that has a separate shared restroom with the rest of the businesses contained in the building. The restaurant staff wasn't too welcoming upon entry as we got seated and service was as warm and hospitable as the weather outside. We ordered a Calamari ($15.50) for appetizers, and we each got a Combination Pho ($18.50). I chose to change my noodles to Egg Noodles (which I typically do at other Pho places) and wifey opted for the Flat Noodles. (More commentary on this later). I know prices have gone significantly higher since the Pandemic and with the recent tariffs, jacked-up inflation and all other factors beyond our control, I typically don't bat an eye now with the cost of how much everything is worth nowadays....and expectedly so. The server didn't even mention that it was gonna cost us extra to change the Rice Noodle to our preference of noodle. Although I noticed it way after as it was stated on their menu (shame on us for not reading), it would have been nice if the server provided us with this info. As for the food, the Calamari was so-so and inconsistent. Some pieces were crispy and some pieces were soggy. The coating was very doughy and bland. They were also cut very thinly and lacked the snap. The Pho was basic and uneventful. But the worst part of the food was the garnishes. These were still soaked in water they there were literally dripping water on the sauce. Did they just grab them from a container, plopped them on a saucer and didn't even bother draining the water on a dry rack? You can see the pool of water left on the saucer plates. And I mentioned the warm service earlier. It was hard to flag down a server as they kept passing by us and almost felt like they were ignoring us even though we would wave and raise our hands as they delivered the food to our surrounding tables in an attempt to get their attention. They weren't wearing blinders, but it felt like they were. Also....don't get me started when patrons receive their orders first even though we placed our orders prior to their arrival. Yeah....I hate it when that happens. Lastly, let's backtrack on my commentary on the pricing. It was a sticker shock when we received the bill since I didn't realize it cost extra to replace the noodles (even though it's stated on the menu as I realized later on). It would have been nice if they server mentioned this, but service was lackluster from beginning to end.

This time I went with the Broken Rice Combination Plate and we shared a Combination Banh Mi. Both were delicious.

They are fast and efficient with their service! If you go on the weekends, you're likely to be 2-4 tables back on the list, but it usually flies by. The food is ready QUICKLY.

Don't judge me - I went to a pho place and DIDN'T get pho. Call me crazy, but when I get a large…read moresteaming bowl of broth with meat and toppings, and sit at a nice big table with all the condiments and special spoons, with all the aromos floating about, it enhances the experience. Taking home a smaller container of broth than what you get if you ate there, with everything packed up, risking the spill on the drive home, only to probably have it sit on the counter for awhile before getting to dig in... not how I like to eat pho. ​So I ordered some takeout stir fry "chow mein" and pot stickers from Pho 999 in Reno NV, and this is the review of it. ​I ordered at 5:30pm on a Friday night, got my food at 5:45pm, and was able to eat it at 6:15pm so it was still reasonably warm. ​First, the pot stickers. They came with three different sauces, something I appreciated. Some bitter chili oil, sambal chili paste (I assume) and some kind of sweet and savory sauce I couldn't identify. Kinda akin to teriyaki but not cloying and sticky, purely liquid. Which I didn't mind at all, it was delicious. As were the pot stickers. A little crispy, tasty filling, perfectly seasoned as you could eat then by themselves. ​Now the combo stir fry with "chow mein" noodles, and shrimp and beef. The stir fry combo is fully customizable, something I like. Many different noodle options and three meat options. What I got did not appear to be what I ordered. ​To the average American, these are egg noodles. Flat, wide, soft, no char whatsoever, which not what you would expect from chow mein. Did I like them? They were ok. Is it what I pictured? No. But I've ordered chow mein at Pho places in the past, and got exactly what you expected chow mein to be. These were not. They were cooked well, salted adequately, and took to additional sauce well (I added the sweet/savory sauce from the pot stickers). ​The rest of the stir fry I ordered was good, though they included all three meats, chicken beef and shrimp. I didn't want chicken. Kinda leads me to believe the person cooking got confused, put the wrong stuff, and just kept cooking the same batch. ​The veggies were cooked perfectly and there was a good mix of them. There was a appropriate amount of meat, not excessive or under whelming. ​But that is how I was left feeling after eating at Pho 999, which makes me a bit sad. When I picked up the food everyone was really nice, polite, and welcoming. The dining area appeared clean. I had fully planned on going back and dining in So I could experience fresh pho in person. ​But, I have to judge my experience based off of what I asked for, and what I got. ​Pot stickers were a 5 out of 5. Definitely would order again. The fact you get ten of em for under ten bucks is really nice. ​The stir fry "chow mein"? 2.5. they weren't bad, but they weren't great. Just ok....and for $18, just ok is unacceptable. ​Final rating? A disappointing 3 out of 5. I hope when I go back to try the pho in person I get a better experience than I had today.

This restaurant has recently become a place to visit for us. They don't have a huge menu and I…read morefeel like that has given them time to really do their options well. So, check out the menu before a visit to make sure they have what you are looking for. Pros: Yummy appetizers, spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, pho (beef was especially good), and speciality drinks. Other items too I am sure but this is what I have sampled so fat. Con: They really toasted the bread on the Bahn mi, on all times someone at our table has ordered it, it is a struggle to eat, especially for smaller mouths/ those in braces. So ask for it an adjustment- if you need it softer. They are more expensive than other options in the area.

I've also tried the pistachio ricotta cake which was not overly sweet. I've always loved the service here with the clean tables and cute aesthetics and friendly staff.

Disappointing Experience and Unexpected Charges…read more We visited this Vietnamese restaurant during our trip to 205 West 5th Street, Reno, NV 89503 . It was recommended by our tour guide, and since we were unfamiliar with the area, we followed the recommendation. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant's interior was quite old and dated. We also noticed flies flying around inside the dining area, which was unpleasant. The food also took about 15-20 minutes to arrive, even though we only ordered three bowls of Vietnamese noodles. The biggest disappointment came when we received the bill. The three noodle dishes were $15.95, $16.50, and $16.50, for a food subtotal of $48.95. We were then charged an $8.81 Service Fee. On top of that, an 18% tip of $10.40 was suggested, calculated after the Service Fee had already been added. With $4.05 in tax, the final total came to $72.21. In other words, the food itself was $48.95, while the Service Fee, tip, and tax added another $23.26, which was about 32% of the final bill. I understand that restaurants have operating costs and that tipping is common in the U.S. However, I personally find it difficult to understand why customers are charged a Service Fee and then encouraged to leave an additional 18% tip calculated on top of that fee. This review is not about the food price itself. My main concern is the overall experience and the lack of transparency regarding the additional charges. For tourists visiting Reno, NV 89503 area, I recommend checking the menu carefully and asking about any additional Service Fees before ordering.
