There is no sushi, but plenty of tasty pho! I got the vegetarian pho and the tofu and veggies were very tasty, they employees were very kind, and I ended up eating the entire thing. Altogether a very nice experience not far from our hotel. read more

I needed my Pho-fix in Pittsburgh. But I did not go searching for my drug. I stumbled upon Vietnam's Pho, after I found out I could not use my corporate AMEX card at my first restaurant of choice. Vietnam's Pho is average, but after not having pho for a month it was like heaven. Once that succulent soup touches your lips, all else fades away. The price is steeper than I am used to paying for pho but the noodle and broth definitely hit the spot. The chicken and rice dish was no good. I don't know if the chicken was burnt or not, but it was black and crunchy. I thought I was eating the bones. The waittime for the pho was way longer than the 5-10 minutes I am used to in Texas. However, the cleanliness of Vietnam's Pho was above average. read more

I really enjoyed this place. It was my first experience with Vietnamese food, and a large group of us went. We were all newbies and were confused about the different additions and if all the soups and pho's should get everything or not. Our server was EXTREMELY helpful and went over each individual dish with us about what he would recommend adding. I got a vermicelli soup instead of pho, and the noodles were delicious. The broth itself was really good and complex. I would have been content to drink that alone without anything else. I would definitely go back here if I'm craving Pho. It is a cash-only establishment, but they make it pretty obvious with all the signs posted around the restaurant. The ambience isn't anything special. It seems like a pretty run-down venue, but luckily the food makes up for it. read more

A solid pho restaurant, i've been here a few times but have only ever had the pho. I hear good things about the bun and everything else, though. What I especially like about the pho is how quickly it comes out, how non-shady the meat appears, how tasty the broth is, and the ample amount of condiments. Ask for the chili oil! Service is quick, while a little quirky. Wish they had a smaller serving for a couple bucks less, I would be here all the time!! Cash only. read more

I came across this Vietnamese restaurant while walking around in the Strip District. The restaurant interior has a surprisingly nice ambiance, with wooden paneling and a stately wooden bar. I thought the pho was good too, although having little experience with Vietnamese food, I do not consider myself a good judge of the cuisine. As with all Vietnamese restaurants I've tried so far, the appetizers don't seem worth the prices. Go right to the main course and you'll be good. read more

This was a neat lil sushi shop we stopped at while traveling. The sushi was fabulous & the staff was great. They were funny & very personable & friendly. If I lived closer, I'd visit more often. read more

Somewhat hard to find, but I eventually made it here from my hotel few blocks away. It was freezing cold so as soon as I got in, I got some tea to warm up. I had the spring rolls and they were decent sized and tasty. The pho itself was interesting. The noodles came in a block and I had to break it up in my soup. The meat, bean sprouts, etc. were all pretty standard. I wasn't wowed by their food, but the workers there were pretty nice so that's a redeemable quality. Just keep in mind that this place is cash only and they have plenty of signs that tell you that. read more

Good, but not as special as Pho Van, in my opinion. It's funny that Pittsburgh has two such good pho places in the strip, and Vietnam's Pho is really quite good. Authentic, really nicely prepared eye round steak and a good amount of the extras that should come with pho. Here's the thing, it's a good pho, and I enjoyed it. But I would not say that it was "delightful" and that's the experience I've had at Pho Van and in the best pho places I've eaten in in other cities. You won't go wrong taking someone here, but they probably won't think it's the best pho they've ever had. Another small point. They don't list vegetarian options on the menu, so if your partner is veg, they'll think there's not much there for them to choose. read more

Almost missed this place but glad we turned around and gave it a try! Very small restaurant but the pho was hot and delicious. Service was basically instantaneous. Will definitely be back. read more

Food and service are always spot on. This past time we got Pho Tai and some bahn mi. Both are excellent. Best Pho in the city. This is always a go to for us! read more

This is my go-to pho place in Pittsburgh. It's pretty standard, good portions, good amount of noodles, good amount of meat. The only thing that bothers me is that there are times when I've gone and they've had no bean sprouts... what's up with that? I need bean sprouts with my pho! Other than that, everything is good. Also, usually have to pay cash or hit a minimum amount to use card. read more

The pho and banh mi are sooooo good. Pho reminds me of my mom's which is so wonderful because I live away from home and anything that reminds me of home cooked Vietnamese food is welcomed. If I lived closer, I would probably be going here every day read more

**CASH ONLY! They have an ATM inside** This is the best of the 3 Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in Pittsburgh. I will first-off say that I always get vermicelli--bun thit nuong, so I cannot speak for their Pho. The nuoc cham (fish sauce concoction) was spot on. There was mint in this dish, which the other 2 places I went to did not have and that really bothered me--I feel the mint is so essential to the freshness of this dish. The ultra-crispy spring roll on top was SO GOOD. One of the best I've had in so very long. And the pork was in thin, Mongolian-style slices with a sweet glaze. I shoveled the entire bowl of food in my face and even drank the sauce at the bottom. Really good. Really, really good. I left with a light and happy step. read more

This was my first experience with Vietnamese food. I do love most ethnic food I try and I'd been wanting to try Vietnamese for a while. When we arrived at the restaurant I noticed it had that same hole-in-the-wall neighborhood ethnic food atmosphere. Nothing fancy. We were seated immediately. After reading the menu about 50 times I asked our server what he suggested for someone who'd never had Vietnamese food before. He suggested #9 the Pho Tai (beef eye round noodle soup). We ordered the quail to start and it was delicious. The spices on it were just right and the skin was crisp and had a sweet caramelized bbq flavor. Of course since it was quail the portion was tiny, but the flavor and moistness were perfect. When I got my pho I struggled to eat it with chopsticks. An art I still haven't mastered. Forks were not provided and I didn't want to be rude and ask for one so I just dealt. The broth was okay. It seemed sort of bland, even after I added quite a bit of torn fresh basil leaves and a squirt of lime. I also added sprouts, but that was all that came standard with this dish. I was hoping for a wider variety of veggies to add, there weren't any onions or chili peppers which I think would have helped. About halfway through the dish I ended up adding some hoisin sauce to give it more depth, but it only helped marginally. The portion size was good, though the amount of beef in the bowl was lacking. It had probably about 6 pieces the size of a quarter each. My fiancé ordered #29 com suon-bi-cha which was a grilled pork chip, "shredded" (more like small chunks) pork cook in a glaze, rice and a fried egg (even though it says quiche on the menu it was just an egg over medium). I tasted both preparations of pork and really enjoyed it. In fact I was a little disappointed that I hadn't ordered what he had because it was much more flavorful than my soup. I would be willing to go back and try another dish and see if the flavor was improved. The environment was nice, the service was prompt and friendly, and the food was average. I might add on more vegetables next time, maybe onions and mushroom if they have it, and maybe try a pho with a different beef preparation. Also, Pittsburgh legend Rick Sebak came in for dinner while we were there and that made me happy. read more

Finding anything vegan in Pittsburgh seems to be a challenge so I was very pleased to wander into Vietnam's Pho just to see if they had something I could eat. This place has the BEST vegan banh mi I have ever had! Just make sure to order the lemongrass tofu banh mi with no mayo and you will be good to go. Their vegan pho was also excellent but I'm a banh mi fan so it's what I always order. The sandwich is so good that I eat there every. single. day whenever I am visiting Pittsburgh. I also make sure to get one to go on the day I leave so I can take it on the plane. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. They were cash only each time I visited but they did have an ATM available. read more

Favorite spot of all time! My first time eat Vietnamese food is here and I start to love Vietnamese food because of this place. My favorite dishes is vermicelli noodles ( the one without the broth) top with grilled shrimp, BBQ pork, spring rolls and dressing on the side. It's amazing!!! Thank to my boss took me to this place read more

Maiku Vietnamese Pho - Honeydew yogurt bubble boba - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We tried it last night after craving for Vietnamese for over a month since I moved to Pittsburgh. I had a spicy noodle. The taste was good but I kept tasting bleach in the food. I finally had to ditch the soup spoon. My husband had a pork chop meal which is not much of food for a $9 dollar meal. Both my husband and I feel that the place is not very clean. They didn't wash the bowl thoroughly. Coming from Phoenix, we were paying $5 dollar for the same kind of noodle soup and they charge for $10 which I think it is kind of standard for noodle soup in Pittsburgh. I don't think that the price is on the cheap side. Not planning to go back. read more

A case of the least evil. Soup for the pho is great but they really rip you off on the meat. Last time, i ordered the deluxe, the $12 pho with all of the above expecting what i thought i paid for. One piece of each meat. And I mean one. I love the broth don't get me wrong, but there needs to be some sort of reasonable proportion and paying $12 for just straight soup and noodles doesn't do it for me. Rip off, but what other choice do we have? Pho in pittsburgh as a whole is awful. read more

Beat pho in Pittsburgh by far. The broth is tasty and no need to add any other condiments except the fresh herbs. Hole in the wall find, if you are interested in those types of restaurants. Food was served fast and even nice recommendations if you don't know what you want. read more

The owners were very personable, and the food came quickly and was delicious! We had reserved a seat at the another pho place down the road, but after 40 mins of waiting we decided to go here -- the other place never even ended up calling us! This is an adorable restaurant that I look forward to revisiting. read more

Food is fantastic! Skeptical when I walked in but extremely impressed. The spring rolls were delicious and fun. The chicken pho was a great portion for the price and I left the restaurant happy and satisfied! read more

Great place. Cheap, delicious, crave-inducing and a new go-to place. And authentic. The interior is basic, but clean, and the staff are friendly. I didn't focus on the fish tank as much as I was focusing on fishing the delicious beef and noodles out of my pho! Generous servings- I had the beef pho- a bowl of fragrant steaming broth (not oily), delicious tender beef, perfectly cooked rice noodles (not gooey- just enough bite) and plenty of fresh basil and bean sprouts for crunch. Can't wait to try the spring rolls and other soul warming goodness. read more

The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent the process are moderate. I recommend this restaurant. Be aware, it is cash only. read more

This is one of my favorite pho places in Pittsburgh. The employees are kind and remember my boyfriend and i every time we go. Our food is prompt and service is always great. The servings are the largest bowls out of the few pho places ive gone to in Pittsburgh. I recommend this restaurant! read more

The pho is really great! I think this is one of the best places that serve pho in Pittsburgh! It's near lotus food company, and every time after shooing at lotus, we will go here. Their special pho is really worth trying, 08! 29 is also a good dish! They serve pork pancake , which tastes great! read more

These are family oriented folks with a great menu. I randomly stumbled upon them while thinking about sushi. They have options for most dietary needs. It's worth a go! read more

Delicious, authentic pho for a great price! On par with places out in California. Came in to escape a cold day in Pittsburgh. The broth was fantastic and flavorful. Did not try the sushi, since they don't seem like they focus on it (even though it's in the name). read more

Delicious sushi and awesome lunch special! They messed up my friends order but even after declining a replacement roll they made one for him anyway very nice people- small place inside so expect a wait if they're busy! It's worth it! read more

I travel to Pittsburgh quite a lot, and I wanted to try something different, so this was my first Pho experience. I have to say, despite the previous reviews, it wasn't that great and I probably won't go back. My first impression was not a warm greeting, kind of a just 'sit wherever' introduction, no 'welcome', 'glad you are here', 'what can I help you with'. No biggie, just not that welcoming. Then, I tried to order a smoothie, in fact, I was excited about trying the Durian, or perhaps Mango. But, they didn't have any smoothies. Once again, no big deal, I'll just get a Daisy tea... Nope, don't have that either. Alright, so drinks aren't their thing, I'm there for the food anyway. The Goi Cuon summer rolls were good, not great. But, I like cold/fresh rolls, so they passed the test at least to quench that craving. I then went with the Pho Dat Biet. Once again, my first Pho experience. It was a REALLY big portion, which was awesome. The veggies on the side were cool, especially the jalapenos. The noodles were good, the beef was good, but the broth was just...good. Nothing great. I'm sure that if I was more of a Pho expert I could give you a better description/opinion, but as my first experience, it's not something I see craving. Finally, I tried the Bun Dac Biet vermicelli dish. It was a nice sampling of pork, shrimp, noodles, and a crispy spring roll. Nothing to write home about, but good. All along, the service was substandard. Like I said, they acted like they didn't care whether I was there or not. I asked a couple questions about what they recommended and he just pointed to something, as opposed to explaining it or giving an opinion. read more

Fast,friendly, and precise. The food here was excellent, good size portions and very friendly staff. The only reason I didn't give them the full 5 stars is because of the location,parking is hard to find. read more

How does this place not get 5 stars? It's the best! Friendly atmosphere and wait staff, and the best pho in Pittsburgh. Their sushi lunch special is also bomb. Don't be fooled by other competition in the strip, this is hands down the winner! read more

I got some noodles and pho. It's delicious! Lots of seating available for people with kids. Prices are cheap, and you get generous portions. I would recommend this place for lunch, if you're in the mood for authentic Asian cuisine. read more

This was our go to spot for my boyfriend and I for pho and Ban minh sandwiches here in Pittsburgh. We have been loyal customers for almost 4.5 years now and go so frequently that our waiter Mario knows our order by heart. We were devastated to see that they have closed down when we went this past week, but then as we walked down the street into the neighboring Maiku Sushi, we were immensely relieved to see familiar friendly faces. Vietnam's pho has merged with Maiku Sushi and they will now be serving an expanded menu including vietnamese options as well as sushi. Out of my own selfishness to keep this business alive, I highly recommend this place. It is not fancy. There are no frills. It is not meant to be compared to Atlanta or California tier vietnamese food. It is just what it is - good old delicious pho and banh minh when you need it. read more

Hands down, this place has the very best Vietnamese Pho in Pittsburgh! And the rest of the menu is outstanding, too.

Amazing. Best Vietnamese in the city. Sushi is damn good too. Service is wonderful, everyone there are super nice. So far nobody I have recommended this place to has only eaten there once. Its marvelous. read more

Got a vegetarian noodle soup here and was perfect!! The manager/cashier was so pleasant and courteous. Was a great experience overall. Wish I could come here more but need to fly back home! read more

More of 3.5 stars. I recent moved over to Pittsburgh from California and needed my Pho fix. Of course, people have to degrade the restaurant even before I set foot into it by saying "It's not as good as California but it's the best in Pittsburgh." Due to those comments, I walked in here with an iffy mindset. I walk into this place with two things on my mind, Spring Rolls and Pho Tai(Rare Steak) so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. The Spring Rolls were average. It was pretty simple. Meat, rice noodle and lettuce. It was decent but wasn't satisfying. The Pho Tai was pretty decent as well. I can taste the difference in the soup to what I'm use to eating. The meat and noodles were good. The portions were pretty decent for a $8 bowl. The store was pretty clean and well kept. They have a picture of Russel Crowe posing with one of their staff hanging on the wall. Overall, it did somewhat satisfy my pho fix. But I think imma go explore other pho shops before I come back here. read more

This was the first time I've eaten Pho in Pittsburgh since returning from a semester in Vietnam in Spring 2009. My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday afternoon after wandering the Strip District. We started out with the fresh spring rolls. They had a good balance of ingredients - plenty of shrimp, not too heavy on the noodles, and you could definitely taste the basil and mint. The sauce was good, but I thought it was a little too sweet. I had the Pho Tai, which has the rare steak. It can be hard to find a Pho place in the area that will serve the steak rare like this, so I was pleased. The flavor of the broth was good - plenty of ginger and anise, and there were plenty of noodles and beef. I was pleased with the fresh toppings - basil and lime - but I thought there could be a few more scallions! We finished with the cafe sua da - iced coffee with condensed milk. I drank this everyday in Vietnam and it was wonderful to have a cup again. The coffee was flavorful and intense - just as it should be! While our coffee was steeping the waiter came over and I chatted with him about Vietnam and my food experiences there. The staff as a whole was friendly. In general, the atmosphere is nice - comfortable and clean. We were sitting near the TV and it was turned to some hilarious news station - seriously, I have never seen news like that before. The prices were reasonable and the food took me back to Hanoi! read more
