Food is excellent. Service was really good but kitchen was a little slow but not bad at all. The pork sausage summer rolls were excellent!! Will most definitely come back over and over again. read more

Midtown Pho - Shrimp pho with meatballs. Delicious!! - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

First, this isn't located in "Mid-Town". They are trying to capitalize on the real Mid-Town reputation. As another poster mentioned the take out packing is poor. They put the broth on top making it top heavy and falls over on the way home. I paid $2 for tofu and got just 5 pieces. Total bill with two rolls was almost $30. Didn't realize I had tried them once before (not memorable) and this time wasn't any better. Hate to give poor reviews for locally owned businesses, but the value just isn't there. read more

Great pho! I'm from California and have plenty of great pho spots. You will not be disappointed. read more

Midtown Pho - Rare steak pho - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We came in with a large late-lunch party. No reservations. One rambunctious toddler. One party member in a wheelchair. They were able to accommodate us in a matter of minutes! Our server, Tri (pronounced "tree"), was so wonderful and patient with our group. It was our first time there after reading great reviews and now we see why. To be totally fair and honest, only one party member lives in the area, and he said he'd definitely be coming back. The rest of our group was from out of town. I'm a Los Angeles native and of Asian heritage, so I'm a bit of a pho snob...sorry not sorry...my mom makes the best pho for my taste. But Midtown Pho was definitely very good. Not quite like mom's but that's just me. Compared to mom's, I'd give them 4/5 stars. I think it's a bit "milder" than a Little Saigon pho joint you'd find in Orange County, CA -- but hey, their market is a bit different, so it's tailored to local taste. No prob. I get it. Still good. The decor is super cute. They clearly put effort into the aesthetics. Relative to the aforementioned pho joints, I'd give them 6/5 stars if I could on that one! Pretty much everyone got different types of pho - the only difference really is which meats you want in your bowl. All very good. The table consensus was "yummy" for their taste, value, and portion size. On the latter, the bowls are huge like what you'd find in a hole-in-the-wall in OC. Prices are good for the area, according to the one local in our party. The meats tasted fresh. Good cuts. We also got some rice dishes. All very good. For me, slightly less than authentic, but again, different market demo. I still found my dish very good. I was happy with my order. I would say the menu is slightly "Americanized" but not in a negative way because everything was still very good. I would definitely go back, when I visit the Raleigh area. I'm a tough customer when it comes to Asian food but given our overall experience, I gave them all 5 stars. The service was key, key, key, because I don't care how delicious something is...if service sucks, it makes the food taste bad. Give Midtown Pho a try. I like! read more

Vietnamese pancake is so good. Attentive service and good vibes. Would definitely recommend the short rib pho.

Always start off with a Vietnamese coffee, strong a flavorful. Nice hot bowl of beef pho. Service is fast and attentive. Feels like a fancy pho spot, food is authentic! read more

Friendly service, great pho! Had the steak & brisket pho - delicious flavor, plenty of toppings, and a spring roll - was ok, greasy. Overall, would recommend and will be back! read more

Midtown Pho - Steak and Beef Brisket Pho (Pho Tai Nam) + Side Spring Roll (Side Cha Gio) - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could! We are not pho snobs but we do know our pho given we eat it about every week back home in Hawaii... it's a staple for my kids! We ordered 2 rare steak pho (with meat on a separate plate) and 1 rare steak and meatballs. The soup was extremely flavorful and not super oily either. They also include lots of cilantro and greens onions for garnish. Even their plate of bean sprouts and basil were super fresh! Noodle portions are generous so two young kids can share so sure, even the soup was more than enough. We ordered 2 Vietnamese coffee to go and was so good too! It was strong with just the right amount of condensed milk. What's even better is that they use crushed ice giving the ice less time to water down the coffee. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Midtown Pho - Rare Steak and Meatball Pho - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Fantastic pho! Some of the best in Raleigh. Friend from Vietnam came to stay and he ate here one afternoon and loved it!

The rice is so dry and tastes like rocks. It's very disappointing! The rice tastes extremely hard. It seems that the rice is not cooked today. read more

Absolutely delicious. I had the beef and meatball pho and it was absolutely delish. The veggies were fresh and the pho itself was perfect. The waiter dropped the ball a few times such as bringing fried vegetable rolls to the table when I ordered summer roles and completely forgetting the dumplings another person ordered. If I return me to the area I will be sure to comeback but may avoid the same waiter. read more

New favorite spot. The bahn mi and pho are both amazing. They had a Bo Kho (Vietnamese beef stew) special recently and I loved it. Clean space with friendly staff. Support this place!wha read more

Saw so many great reviews for this place and was excited to check it out because I've been on the hunt for a solid Vietnamese spot for the longest time. This was NOT it. We ordered three banh mi's and chicken pho w/ tofu added for takeout - easy enough, right? On the way there, I get an email notification that I received a partial refund. Okay cool, I figure they must be out of something. I'll just confirm when I get there. Walking in, it feels a little crowded, even with only a few tables seated. A woman greeted us at the host stand, and after confirming my name for the order, explained that they'd refunded me because they were completely out of banh mi. That's fine, things happen. I thank her, take my order of pho and head out. On the way home, I check my bank account and see that I was only refunded for two banh mi's, despite not receiving any of them. I called the restaurant and they argue that they had already refunded the order, so I had to reiterate that yes - I was refunded, but not the total amount of the *three* banh mi's. They check, admit that they forgot to add the third one to the refund amount and assured it would be taken care of. We get home, I open up the box and... am underwhelmed. The pho noodles are overcooked and have a slightly sour smell, the chicken is dry and the fried tofu looks like someone took one piece and mashed it up with their hands. Still, I thought maybe looks could be deceiving. I was wrong. The broth had absolutely no flavor (even after adding herbs and sauces) and noodles were basically a grainy mush. Can't say there was any redeeming quality. Also, it's now over a week later and I still never received the rest of my refund. Ignore the hype, wouldn't recommend at all. read more

One of the best pho places in town tied with Pho Far East- which I learned is a family restaurant (her parents restaurant). Midtown Pho has nicer decor and a pricier menu but I think it's worth it in terms of the quality and amount of food. Coming from NOVA (where all the good east coast viet food is), this is on par with or better than the average Virginia pho. I definitely want to come back to try their other dishes like the banh cuon and banh xeo (hard to come by at any viet place), and their rice and rice vermicelli dishes. read more

The family loves this place. Good service and options for all tastes. Consistently the best pho in town!

Our first Vietnamese food here in the "south". Loved the ambiance, the bar, the mojito, the plates, bowls, food presentation and the young servers. And the food was good. read more

Clean and nice atmosphere. GF had a craving for Vietnamese so we went. The fresh summer roll app with peanut sauce was good. She had the Bahn Xeo pancake and really liked it. I had the Grilled pork and spring roll. All good. But what caught our eye was the big bowls of pho that came out to other customers. We'll be back. read more

So happy to have a Pho restaurant in this area. It was delicious. My husband said "so fresh". It really did taste fresh and was not overly heavy. Great flavor and lots of greens. We got the sliced rare beef pho and added tofu. We also got the beef sandwich banh mi. Delicious and filling. The soup was filling but not overly heavy. They have drink specials each day. Also - kid friendly. My daughter is 3 and a bit of a handful. The staff was polite and didn't mind. If your child is a picky eater maybe bring a pbj since I did not see kid food. That said, my daughter loved the noodles and baguette. read more

I wanted to love this restaurant with its very cute ambiance and lovely staff. I have visited once and ordered take out once. We have tried the Vermicelli Combo ($17 expensive for what you get - photo attached) and take out - 2 orders of Pho - steak/meatball, steak/beef brisket & Banh Mi Special. The problem is ALL of these were tasteless. I used all the condiments offered at the restaurant to give the Vermicelli Combo some semblance of flavor. At home the Pho broth was tasteless, the slices of meat were gooey and tasteless. There is absolutely no flavor on this menu. The area could use a quant restaurant unfortunately Midtown Pho is not it. read more

Midtown Pho - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Fantastic Service and Care for Customers I have been to this restaurant a number of times and every time the food is fantastic, the best Vietnamese food around. At the end of my last visit, I unknowingly dropped my wallet in the parking lot and left. It was found by someone at the restaurant and the manager took the time to call my bank to let them know it was there. When I came to pick it up the manager had held it safe for me. I am very thankful. It's great to feel like there are people who look out for one another. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and people who will go out of their way for you. read more

My family loves the pho here and have been several times since their opening. I haven't seen any shrimp paste dishes anywhere else but this restaurant. The BBQ shrimp paste summer rolls are the best summer rolls I have had. Only reason for 4 stars you have to double check your pick up orders. I guess being a new restaurant, our orders can be a little off read more

I was quickly greeted then seated. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming. I sat at the bar area and my food came out quickly. It was pouring rain so the rare beef pho was a welcome bowl of steaming broth filled with flavor. It felt like a warm hug. So full of flavor. read more

I couldn't not leave a review after many wonderful experiences here! The Pho is wonderful- but so are the other dishes we have had! The dumplings, the Vermicelli bowls, the fresh summer rolls and the pancakes are all favorites of my family as well as the pho. The waitstaff are always welcoming and attentive. We are so happy that they opened up this restaurant as it is fresh and clean! read more

Fast and yummy! Even my picky husband who only eats burgers loved it. You won't be disappointed.

Midtown Pho - Shrimp pho - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Midtown Pho has the freshest tasting, scratch made food I've had in quite some time. The Spicy Beef Pho was not too spicy, as to satisfy our Western palate I imagine, and the flavors in the broth all mixed well while also keeping their individual notes. The Spring Rolls were similarly satisfying and the peanut sauce that accompanied them was the real deal. The decor was comfortable and inviting, and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Pass up the restaurant chains nearby and give this local business a try. read more

First time here. I went in to order take out for a vermicelli pork and egg roll bowl. My boyfriend got the spicy lemongrass chicken. He said his dish was fine. Mine was terrible. Some part of the noodles were too hard. The pork was undercook-big pieces. The only vegetable they put in there were lettuce and bean sprouts. No peanuts, no cucumbers, no no basil, no green onions. I was very disappointed. I have had this dish many times at other places. This was the worse. read more

So the kitchen closes at 8:45p. But their sign shows "Open." Untrue. Disappointing. Coming from Houston, where we have legit pho, hoping to try this place while in town. Meh read more

Food is Americanized, but expected since it's in north hills. "Combo" pho only has beef and meatball, no tripe or tendon. When I asked the waitress why, she said "It's a little too much for the chefs to cook." Service was a little below average. I had to flag down someone since everyone was on their phones. read more

So delicious! Very tasty! The service was amazing. We got banh mi, ban xeo, and summer rolls. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu. read more

Nice space convenient to most of Raleigh. Nice interior with simple and nice seating. Drink specials daily well displayed on a chalkboard with a bit of history on the owner which is nice as Family owned places are not highlighted enough, but means a lot as this is not a corporate chain. Service is prompt and the Pho Tia is excellent. Ask fir the chili oil paste to kick it up a notch. Looking forward to drilling down into the menu as time allows. Great place read more

SO GOOD. Got the steak & brisket pho, special pork bahn mi, viet coffee. Steak was such good quality. Super tender. Broth is very flavorful and comforting. I like that they give both sliced white & green onion. Plenty of bean sprouts and basil/cilantro too. Also very much appreciate them giving 2 lime slices instead of 1 like other places. Been comparing a lot of pho in Raleigh and have had almost all of it, this one is .2 miles from me and took me the longest to get to it. It's my favorite one. Great service inside, super quick for to go. I really think I'll stop here to get coffee in a pinch too, it's not too sweet and is super bright. My boyfriend thought it was a bit too punchy and likes his coffee a little sweeter so he added a small splash of some brown sugar creamer and then it was perfect for him. He got the bahn mi and I am easily going to eat 3 of those in the next week. Cheap, large, pork is amazing and the bread is super fresh. read more

DELICIOUS bbq pork vermicelli, bahn mi, salt and pepper crab, and and bahn xeo (basically, everything we've tried has been excellent!) The crab was extra special because it isn't something you see on many menus in the area. The flavor of the crepe in the bahn xeo was excellent and I highly recommend guests to try it out as something new! read more

Great food, took about an hour to come out when I ate in so I only get takeout now
