    Six very small thin slices of beef and old grey sprouts.
    Donna Blue H.

    Lunch today. Ordered the rare beef pho. Got six very thin small pieces of meat in a small bowl. The bean sprouts were grey and old. $15 Stock was excellent. Will not be back.

    Edamame and fried egg rolls
    Tasha R.

    Good service and fresh tasting food. As we walked in we were told we could seat ourselves which was nice of them to offer and quickly got us menus and our drink orders. We also started with a couple of appetizers. We shared the edamame and egg rolls. The egg rolls were quite filling and the edamame was perfect to snack on throughout the meal. I also had the honeydew boba which was delicious and ordered the rare steak with brisket pho (Pho Tai Chin) as my entree. The pho was perfect size for me not too large where I couldn't finish but also not too small where I was left hungry. The broth had good flavor and the side of garnish was also just right for us to share. For those with bigger appetites I would suggest to get an appetizer or add more protein to the pho since typically there is not a lot of protein in these types of noodle soup bowls. Overall the staff was friendly and the prices were average. I would recommend ordering pho here and would come back again.

    Came across Mr. Pho while checking out the Asian store next to it. It's small and quaint, welcoming ambiance. Service was good. We ordered a Pho, a rice dish with meat, and a Bahn-mi sandwich. They were all good tasting with good flavors, but major downside was how each order had very few meat pieces, even our 7 year old pointed it out. The pho was also more onion than noodles.

    The atmosphere is so calm and the staff are attentive and welcoming. I got the iced tea and tofu spicy lemongrass noodle bowl, plus the tofu spring rolls. My husband, a big meat eater, LOVED the tofu spring rolls! (He never eats tofu). I look forward to going to Mr. Pho again, it's a great place.

    Incredible spot to check out! The owner or chef came out to take my order and check up, he's was so warm and welcoming. The pho broth was on point! So delicious*chef kiss Lots of to go orders coming out of this place and they had a good rep with all the customers coming to pick up. You can tell they take very good care of their customers and I'll definitely be a regular one from here on out.

    First timers to this cozy little spot. From the outside, it just seemed like a standard business front, but as you walked inside, it was very charming and right away made you feel at home. My sister and I both had appetizers, my sister the egg rolls, and I the pot stickers, simply "Yum!" We both had the Pho for our main lunch entrees, my sister the rare steak & brisket, and I the shrimp, for what we concluded was "very satisfyingly tasty" (the broth itself, very flavorful and delicious!). The service was friendly, filled with smiles, and a very accommodating staff. Much more to try and discover. We are so happy we came across this new find and will most certainly be back! We both recommend this lovely spot, a must-try for sure!

    Our 1st time eating at Mr. Pho. It was definitely a warm hearty meal after taking the Tram ride earlier this morning. I had the spicy pho bowl. It was hot, filled with flavorful pork, tribe and noodles. Not too spicy either. My honey had Lemon grass noodles with Chicken without broth! The restaurant was clean and the service was on point! The servings were very big too!

    The first thing about this place is they care about their service and your experience. You can tell they focus on that, I can appreciate that. They are quick with drink refills, they pick up tables right after people leave. This place is clean on the inside and had a cool atmosphere. Vietnamese food in Albuquerque has tough competition but these guys can put some food together with the best of them. I would say portions are slightly smaller than most other places but everything good and prepared very well.

    This was our first time visiting this establishment and possible not returning anytime soon. The establishment is a descent size and indoor is very cozy and dim light type of setting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was descent in flavor but falls short in the basic flavoring the springs rolls ( mind you only had 2 small pieces of meat) and for the egg roll that was drenched in oil. The pineapple entree was my favorite one but the rice fell short on flavoring. The pot jasmine with chicken was extremely hot and lacked the flavor again. I

The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

    I have never seen such a lack of consensus on any issue like on the question of which is the best…read moreVietnamese (VN) restaurant in Albuquerque. It's not down to an agreed list of two or three. When you open up the question, you get a dozen or more answers. That situation can mean many or all of several things: (1) Maybe Albuquerque really is VN food heaven; (2) Maybe there is no consensus on what constitutes really good VN food; or (3) Maybe most people pick the first VN restaurant they like and stick with it. I did #3 for years, sticking with Vietnam 200 and Viet Taste. Well, things change -- great restaurants slip and deliver mediocre experiences. Or we just get tired of same old, same old, and want to look around. I began looking around with a trip to Saigon City, an old restaurant in a slick new location in the same strip with Pars Middle Eastern restaurant in 25 Way. I went last night with my daughter and son-in-law, both experienced eaters. I previewed their menu on their website (a good thing when faced with a huge menu). I selected three items I wanted to try. Leaving the Pho for a later trip, I chose to begin with the green mussels stir fried and dished up with spicy veggie bits. There were six on the plate. I had to move quickly to get two of them. What a treat! I could make a meal of a plate of six of these. Next, I went for B3, the code for grilled chicken and veggies over vermicelli noodles with chili sauce. I like my food spicy. After the mussels, my hopes were up. Well, B3 was a very tasty dish. I would order it again anytime. Fresh, fresh, fresh. But pretty mild in the spice category. The chicken was nicely spiced, and there were red flakes in the vermicelli noodles, but not nearly enough of them. I tried my daughter's pork and vermicelli and thought it a bit better. We finished the meal with sicky rice & mango. The menu offers only sticky rice and banana, which is itself a very nice dessert, but our server mentioned that we could have mango instead for slightly higher charge. Since sticky rice with mango in coconut sauce is one of the five greatest desserts in the world, I went for it with gusto. This dish was the only slight stumble in the meal. I thought the rice was a bit underdone and the sauce not too thrilling. Not bad, but not at the standard set by the other dishes. I look forward to returning soon to try the pho. The service was very good, very friendly, and very helpful. I recommend sitting near the front of the restaurant and away from the service area where the staff conduct loud conversations among themselves. The interior of the restaurant is very nicely decorated and lighted. I was very comfortable eating at this fine restaurant.

We stopped by early this Sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised that they have expanded the menu from mainly banh mi. The now have Pho and rice noodle dishes. B5 combo is a solid can't go wrong choice. All the protein was cooked well and seasoned nicely. Egg roll was good. Fish sauce is going to be the grey area because thats always personal preference, it was good, but would say more on the fishy side, which my fiance liked. Im used to my moms sauce which is more on the sweeter side. I also got an Vietnamese iced coffee and I will say it is probably the best Vietnamese ice coffee that I've had in thr ABQ area. Its was strong and nice and smooth. It wasn't too sweet. The reason why I say this is the best iced Vietnamese cofee I've had in ABQ is because other places, the Vietnamese coffee is bitter or its not balanced enough with flavor. At over $8 for a cup, it's pricey but if i need a Vietnamese coffee fix, this will be a good to spot. I will say they keep it really clean in there and the white esthetic was pleasing on this sunny Sunday while we were eating in there.

Typically I'd get a bowl of Pho but the temperature was about 100 so no Pho. I opted to try the Noodle Salad bowl w raw veggies and assorted cooked meats on top. (See pic) It was a good choice but it took longer to get that I expected. The desserts looked very tempting but I didn't have enough time so I'll try them on my next visit. (See pic) They had a big selection of Vietnamese cold fruit drinks and coffee drinks. Again, I'll be going back to try some. (See pic) The nice thing was that half the dining room had Vietnamese customers which I consider a good sign for authenticity. The place was very clean and attractive. The staff were extremely polite. My Noodle Salad Bowl came in a big paper bowl w a lid so I was able to eat half and take the rest home easily. (See pic.) It was okay but I wasn't crazy about it. I'll try a sandwich next time.

But Albuquerque has a significant Vietnamese population, great local supply of everything. There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in Albuquerque, but this is not one of them. If you want dumbed down, flavorless food that won't challenge you, this is it. It is clean and pleasant here.
