We shared a large bowl of the Pho with raw beef and tendon. And we ordered fresh spring roll (#3) and appetizer assortment (#15). The spring roll was fresh and the appetizer assortment didn’t disappoint. The Pho had good flavor. The rice noodles and beef/tendon complement the broth . Will definitely comeback for their other menu options in the future

This place is usually good when I come in, but we spent $77 on a delivery and the meat was literally RAW and FROZEN SOLID. Like ice cube frozen. I called in and a staff member told me to just stick it in the microwave and it would be fine…. Unbelievable. No apology or anything. The rest of the order was cold and a total mess, and they didn’t include any spices or sauces. I’m actually in shock at how bad this order was. Who would eat this?

A true Pho restaurant. I placed a pick up order for two regular chicken pho. I live about 5 mins away. It’s on a busy corner off Newport Blvd and 17th street. It was ready when I arrived and it was hot and delicious when I got home. They sell beer and have out door seating. I have brought my dog there before too. Highly recommend if you love pho.

The parking is horrible. Service was a little slow but acceptable. The egg-rolls were pretty bad. They weren’t rolled right… Not tight enough and so the flavor was heavy on the oil since they absorbed too much from the fryer. However… The#37 Pho is excellent!!! Great beef base broth.

We went to the restaurant to order some soup to go. We ordered filet mignon soup and when we got it back to our hotel we come to find out that the meat is completely raw. Not stated at all. When called up inquiring about it they told me that’s the way it supposed to come, but we could stick it in the microwave that we don’t have due to staying at a nearby hotel. They said if we put in on the soup it would cook on its own . Not friendly staff except one person sitting down looks like on break . Last time I checked it was against the law to serve raw food.
