    Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich off
    Katherine A.

    This Vietnamese restaurant was probably the first pho restaurant in Indiana. It's a bit of a local hole in the wall, family owned. I love their pho. I went for lunch today. The menu is a blend of Pho, Chinese and a bit of Thai. There are noodle and rice dishes with any meat or veggie options. A few specialty plates were also available. The servers are very friendly and know the regulars by name. The restaurant is almost upscale inside with subdued lighting and music. Alan, our server, checked on us multiple times. Our food came out quickly. I ordered the Veggie Pho with Tofu. The generous bowl of broth was delicate and hot! The tofu was baked and light. The vegetables were super fresh. I topped off the bowl with bean sprouts and cilantro. There was so much pho that I took half home. (Alan packed my soup up nicely to go.). My husband had the Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich off the appetizer menu. The beef was tender with fresh bread and vegetable. He loved it. There's parking beside the building. Getting out of the lot can be a challenge with the traffic. I recommend. I'll return.

    Wonderful lunch at this unassuming restaurant! Ordered vegetarian spring rolls, Vietnamese grilled chicken and chicken pho. Wonderful, fresh and great quality. Spring rolls had fresh vegetables that had a lot of crunch to them, grilled chicken was excellent but the pho was the star (surprise). Fresh tray of cilantro, Thai basil, lime and bean sprouts was provided. You can see in the photo how vibrant the vegetables were. Service was prompt, our order was altered based on their recommendations, glad we followed his suggestions!!

    Oh my goodness this is the best pho my son and I have had ANYWHERE. Service was excellent. The ambient music creates a very relaxed environment. Come here! You won't be disappointed. Also the Thai tea is amazing!

    The nicest people you'll ever meet! The server told us "ask for anything anytime I'm happy to have you!" Then the cook came out and asked us how the food was and thank you for our business. The food was very very flavorful. An explosion of ingredients in your mouth. It's comfort food, sweet and spicy. The bathrooms are clean and smell pleasant.

    I'd been waiting to try this spot for some time; finally made it in today to grab a carry out order. The gentleman at the counter warmly welcomed me and help me decide between the veggie beef or tofu pho. I I paid and sat down at a table to wait. There were a couple of tables dining in, but what was most remarkable was how clean the restaurant is. It's evident that this is a priority. Another gentleman brought me my order in just a few minutes and thanked me again. When I arrived at my destination, I tried the spring rolls first. They were delicious, with fresh vegetables and rice noodles. The peanut sauce was delightful as well. Later, I reheated the broth and enjoyed my pho. The amount of food I received was enough to make two meals! For just over $20, it's an excellent value. The vegetables and noodles again were all very fresh, and the broth was amazingly flavorful for a veggie base. I'm not sure "what the pho" took me so long to try this little spot, but I'll certainly be back again soon!

    I almost missed this little restaurant following my GPS, but I am so glad I turned around and slowed down finding this little place on Michigan Rd. The Pho was absolute delicious! The service was outstanding and I felt very welcome. I would definitely go back for more

    I have been eating pho from a young age and think What The Pho has one of the best Pho in the city. I can't even believe I've never reviewed this place and think it is because I just get takeout and by the time I get it home I'm just worried about eating it and forget to take pictures. The pho broth is perfect any day but a go to when I'm feeling under the weather. Some of the other items I always get are the egg rolls, springs rolls, and the banh mi. If you want to try something a bit different then I would recommend the tofu pho the tofu are sliced long and are crispy and go well with the soup.

    I didn't like my food, but the waiter greeted me when I walked in. I believe he was the owner because he was doing everything from greeting to serving. I was in during lunch hour. He was attentive. I ordered spring rolls and vegan pho. The best part of my meal was my orange Fanta. I think its an acquired taste. Just not my cup of tea.

    This place definitely looks like a hole in the wall off of Michigan, but it's definitely worth a stop! My fiancé is obsessed with pho and actually goes here quite a bit. He says it's the best he's found since we've moved to Indianapolis. I've only been a time or two but it's hit the spot. I'm not sure if it's the owner, there is a man who is normally working there when we go in who is so pleasant. He is talkative and nice, he always makes sure that we are happy with the meal and our drinks are never empty. It looks like it was recently remodeled and looks great! We will definitely be coming back.

Before adding any sauces, I wanted to try the broth by itself. And when I did, that's when I knew that Pho 21 has secured me as a customer. I truly didn't have to add any sauces, but what is pho if I didn't add some razzle dazzle. I left with my tastebuds satisfied and lips with a slight sizzle. Ha! After all, if your lips don't sizzle, did you really have Pho? Ha!

You can tell a lot of thought, a lot of love and dedication have been put into this family owned business. I had the Vietnamese Spring Rolls and my husband had the Đặc Biệt: (Special Combination). The special has vietnamese mayo, pork pate, xá xíu (bbq pork), chả lụa (vietnamese ham), and thịt nguội (vietnamese pork salami). Both items were super fresh, delicious and beautifully presented.

Finally a person came up to the cash register and allowed us to order with her as opposed to the kiosk. It also took a bit of time for the food to come out. When it did come out it wasn't our order, so we had to wait additional time. When it finally did come, it was really good. Very fresh ingredients, bread was homemade, it just really a good tasting meal. I do very much like the decor in the place, doesn't feel like you are in Castleton, feels very west cost. They also have donuts and coffee but I didn't have any of that.
