    Showing their macerated "rare beef" wtf is this?
    Patricia A.

    We are here at 11 pm. Lady took our order and the forgot my drink. Had to remind her when there was literally three people In there. It smells like cleaner in here and while you're eating they're spraying cleaner on the table liberally spraying it everywhere. The music is so loud you can hear it from outside. Order #22 pho. There was no beef ball, and I had to remind her it was supposed to be in there. The soup tasted like water, there's absolutely no flavor. They either ran out of the broth and just filled it with water or this is actually their soup. There was supposed to be rare beef and then when I asked the lady, she said "did you eat it already?" And I said "you just put it in front of me". I was showing her the bowl and then she said "oh it's right there; they mash it up". WTF. It's macerated beef that was not rare. We also order the egg rolls that never came, and she ended up giving us beef sticks that we never ordered. We also ordered a sandwich, which was just ok. The only thing that was good was the shrimp cakes. They had a lot to flavor. We ordered coconut juice and the juice is mainly ice and water. The side with the glasses that rang me up told me they water the soup down at the end of the night. Probably skip this restaurant unless you're absolutely hungry and have no where to go.

    20. Short Rib Noodle Soup

    Food is always good! Never disappoints! One Pro Tip: NEVER pay ahead of time as it happened to me twice already that I don't get my food (ordered bbq beef skewers on both occasions). You need to be persistent on following up your order or you won't get it. They will not offer you a refund but will probably test your patience and wait for at least 20minutes after you do 4 times of following it up. So to avoid frustrations and save time, DON't PAY AHEAD and wait until all the food is served before you pay.

    I came here after crashing out on someone ghosting me again lol. There seems to be a theme, the last few reviews are me getting ghosted. Anyway, I stopped here after going to anime impulse because I was craving soup. When I got there there was hella parking, the restaurant was clean, and the service was hella good. The ladies working were hella nice. I ended up getting Bun Bo Hue which was hella fire. Also one of the ladies put the world cup match between france and england. It was nice watching with them like we were hanging out. lol. Well if you think of coming here, you should. Even when I was in my feels, this place brought it up!

    Brisket pho, Tom yum, & summer rolls

    As a certified fake Asian, I can say this place gets my stamp of approval. Growing up more American than Vietnamese, I never appreciated my own culture til way later. Pho definitely took some time to grow on me. Anything ethnic, I'll stay on the safe side. Summer rolls, spring rolls, soup without weird meats, and that's about it. Now that I've had time to mature and marinate in my asian-ness, I now appreciate my culture a lot more. I still don't go outside of my comfort zone because I know what I like. Brisket pho, or thin Sliced beef. The soup was definitely flavorful, nice depth and not a lot of fat/oil. The spring rolls were nice and still crisp through takeout. Summer rolls hit the spot as well. Mr G got a Tom yum I think, no complaints. Ordered through doordash. Everything packed perfectly, no leakage and not missing a thing. I even had the pho in the fridge the first night since the soup came separate. Warmed up next day, no issues, still tasting fresh. Prices were comparable to most vietnamese restaurants and quality was great. Definitely recommend!

    I drove past this place so many times and decided to finally stop by to try them out. This review is based solely on their Bánh mì sandwiches and spring rolls. The Bánh mì sandwiches I tried were both grilled bbq pork and grilled chicken. They are a truly authentic style Bánh mì with all the toppings and crunchy good bread. They marinated the pork and chicken to perfection, you can taste the proteins are very flavorful. I rate them both a solid 9.75/10 and the spring rolls 10/10 (they have a great peanut dipping sauce). Definitely will be my local go to for Bánh mì sandwiches!

    Came here on a Wednesday around 10PM after our concert and we loved it. Found this place here on Yelp and it did not disappoint. The employee who helped us was very nice and was able to answer any questions we had plus give us recommendations. Inside was very clean and well lit, felt modern and welcoming. We got our food not long after we ordered and it tasted delicious. Broth was great and the meat just melts in your mouth. Portion is very good for the price you pay as well. Overall great experience, can't wait to come back again!

    Amazing spot for your late night soup-cravings! Highly recommend their Bun Bo hue and number 48!

    Grilled Pork Chop with Egg Over Rice

    Short Rib Noodle Soup has been advertised on social media months ago and I don't know if they still promote it. I guess that the hyped went down overtime. I've been wanting to try it for a while now and now's it's a good time to do that. I heard that ribs are supposed to fall off easily based from what I saw but unfortunately it didn't. I spent minutes trying to rip the meat off into pieces with a fork and knife, and it was very difficult. Sometimes, I can't get some meat off, and instead had to normally eat the ribs with my own hands. It got to the point that a small portion of the soup spilled because of how tough the meat is. Good thing that it wasn't the whole soup, which would have been a lot worse. Despite all that, the short ribs are really good, but I wish the meat is tender just like what I saw online when the meat easily falls off from the bone. The rocket shrimp eggrolls are really good. I was quite interested with it because of how it's named. Anyways, I don't think I'll be ordering that pho again just because of how hard it is to cut the meat, but I'll just try other dishes in my future visits. Just be careful when trying to cut the rib meat. Hopefully, they will do something about making the ribs more tender.

    I came here for lunch, and I thought the food was pretty mid. I always get the brisket pho whenever I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, and this one was just ok. The brisket wasn't very tender. The broth was just ok, too. The portion size is big, but I wouldn't come back here. The service was friendly, and it was very clean.

    My tasty 25. Seafood Rice Noodle Soup
    Tanya T.

    Broth was great in my seafood pho. Service was prompt and our food was out quickly. We had several dishes which looked good by way of presentation. Tofu and calamari were very crunch and the calamari was an almost clean bite with the elusive string of calamari bite that would always take forever to sever. Towards the end of our lovely meal, at the bottom of one of our bowls, was a little bug. Dead and lifeless. My partner approached the lady at the front about the bug, which was now on a napkin. The lady awkwardly laughed and said its because theres a lot of flies back there and offered a $5 discount and free jelly. Just for the bug alone, I will not recommend this place. Vibe and everything else is fine. Its sad to say that because it was a really promising place. Go at you own risk.

    Found this place because of instagram. And they close late. Even better. But we came for lunch. There is plenty of parking. It's right next to a sushi place. There are plenty of tables. We were seated right away. Service was great! We loved our pho and the viet coffee has its kick. We will be back!

    Good food, very good. I would come back. Clean environment and fast service . And wide menu selection. Also my favorite big flat white noodles

    Short rib pho. Dynamite.
    Ran D.

    Excellent short rib pho. Tender meat on the brontosaurus bone! Very good broth, no oil floating on top. Sweeter than the usual broth, and though I prefer savory, it was extremely flavorful and good -- especially after I put my herbs, lemon, and siracha into it. The shaking beef was also very good. It was a great filet mignon with veggies. Not over sauced, but flavored right. The service is very good, very and friendly. They're open late, so they're perfect for late night cravings.

The owners are always very kind and remember us and it has a very comfortable atmosphere that makes it very family friendly. One thing I'm a little sad about is that they removed tendon and tripe from the #15 Pho dac biet but it's still just as good. In recent years they added Banh Mi to their menu as well as a buy 3 get one free deal which I always take advantage of. Their Banh Mi are so good, especially the pork and I never fail to get one.

    The Sour Bì Was the Last Straw…read more I've had both good and bad experiences with Pho Newark Com Tam Thanh over time, and for a while I considered it a decent, average place to grab Vietnamese food in the area. I also tend to give restaurants multiple chances before leaving a negative review because I understand that every place can have an off day. Unfortunately, I've now seen enough of a pattern that I'm done. Today I ordered the Combination Cơm Tấm and was utterly disappointed by the drop in quality. The bì (shredded pork skin) smelled sour and was completely mushy, despite the meal having just been purchased. It genuinely seemed spoiled, and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. The pork chop was bland and overly fatty, the fish sauce was nothing special, and the bánh mì was extremely disappointing as well. This wasn't an isolated issue either. On another visit, I found a hair in my food. And on some evenings, a staff member would clean the floors with such a strong bleach-smelling cleaner while customers were still eating that the chemical smell completely took over the dining area. Trying to enjoy a meal while your nose is full of cleanser is not exactly appetizing. I don't write a bad review because of one mediocre dish. I give places multiple tries because I want to be fair. But when the unpleasant experiences keep repeating, eventually it stops feeling like bad luck and starts looking like a quality-control problem. The sour-smelling, mushy bì today was the final straw. I can forgive average food. I'm not gambling with spoiled pork skin. Nope, nope. I'm done.

    We came in on a cool weekday evening, and a hot bowl of pho hit the exact right spot for comfort…read morefood. We have been here before, but last time I got so caught up enjoying the food that I forgot to leave a review, so I made sure to snap some pictures and write about it this time. Since the menu is simple and straightforward, service is quick and efficient. Even though it was not overly busy during our weekday dinner, I can see how it might fill up fast on weekends, but their fast turnaround means you never have to wait long. Here is what we ordered: #1 Chicken Pho (with bone and egg noodles): Definitely the winner for depth of flavor. The bone-in chicken makes the broth taste fantastic, rich, and deeply flavorful. #5 Boneless Chicken Noodles (with egg noodles): A great option if you do not want to deal with bones, though the bone-in version is still slightly more flavorful. On a server's enthusiastic recommendation, who told us, "Good choice, it is my favorite too," we added a fried sunny-side-up egg to the soup. It was a fun addition, though optional. Fresh Accompaniments: Both items came with a generous shared plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and limes. Pro tip: throw the basil and bean sprouts in while the soup is piping hot for the best aroma and flavor. Mo Hanh (Green Onion Oil): Both soups also came with a side of Mo Hanh, which is chopped green onion with oil and a pinch of salt. It was amazing to have with the chicken, and I really loved that combination of flavors. Practical Details: Parking: Located in a plaza with ample parking. Being a weekday, we scored a spot right in front. Seating: Plenty of tables inside, though it can get busy during peak hours. Overall, Pho Ga 88 is a fantastic spot for a cozy meal, especially on a chilly day. We will definitely be back!

    Um ... are you guys kidding?…read more 3 stars for me. Pretty much only one choice: free range chicken, which is pretty good, about on par with pho Kim Long (which is Michelin recommended and our long time favorite for pho); soup base pretty much bland, which is the main difference with Kim Long, and literally they don't have onion and other vegetables like typical pho places except bean spouts. Price a bit lower than typical pho places too, chicken a bit less than Kim Long, and dont order their chicken gizzard or whatever soup, like I said, only chicken.
