Rare beef pho-Authentic, fresh and delicious. Fast service, $8, located off 153. Love

THE slowest restaurant in Chattanooga. Of the last two times we've been, we had to leave once after 20 minutes of not being acknowledged or having a drink order taken (despite the waitress bussing the three tables around us.) This is even more frustrating when you take into account that they only have 8 tables in the tiny space anyway. The pho is nothing special compared other pho's out there- but since we don't have a lot of pho joints around town, they stay in business. There are probably six places in town where you can get a reasonable pho- at least three serve better pho than this place, and all of them have better customer service. If you're in the mood for great pho and good service , Old Saigon is the better bet. If you have a couple of hours to waste on indifferent (neglectful) service, and average food, by all means go to Noodles and Pho. read more

First time I come to Tennessee. It's a cold day so we decided to come here for some pho and it was pho-ntastic, pho-bulous, pho-rickin delicious! The ingredients are fresh, and the soup broth is just right. Just enough flavor for you to customize it your own way with Sriracha, Eel sauce, lemon, Chop Suey, and cilantro. Would have loved it if they had the mint leaves, but it was still pho-king good. Definitely on my top pho list. Relaxing music was the cherry on top. read more

My first time here. I have been hard pressed to find a good Vietnamese restaurant, somewhere in Chattanooga, since my move from California. This place is excellent. Although not much for atmosphere, it is clean and comfortable . There are great choices for people like me who do not want to eat much noodle but need more protein. Food was excellent. Appetizers are great, soup is great, service was excellent and I highly recommend it. I will be back~shell read more

Pho is great. Owner is not very personable. I'm willing to look past it, to eat here.

We just ate here tonight. The kitchen is a bit slow, but the service is very friendly and attentive. We had our two year old with us, and the staff was extremely accommodating. An example of this was when they helped my wife and I avert a tantrum by noticing that our child had dropped his spoon on the floor and simply bringing him another one. Its the little things. But let's talk about the food, the pho is great. I had the rare brisket (#15 I believe) and there was a ton of noodles, a lot of meat (most Pho places give you one or two pieces), the broth was flavorful but enhanced by the amount of mint the brought to doctor the dish. Vietnamese coffee was strong and flavorful with just the right amount of condensed milk. And the dumplings were crispy but not overdone with a great pork filling. Pho is my favorite in winter, so I'll be heading to Noodles & Pho quite a bit more in the coming months. read more

If I could rate it a zero, I would. Waited 1hour and 18 minutes for food. Then half of our order was wrong! We couldn't even eat it, had to send back wrong order and half of our party didn't eat. And the half they got right was not very good. Arrived at 2:03pm on a Saturday, only half the tables were full, so it wasn't even busy. And we were not served till 3:21. She never did bring our appetizer but she still tried to charge us for it and tried to charge us for the wrong order she brought us even though she acknowledged she mixed up the entree and we never touched it, we sent it back! The waitress was rude from the moment we walked in, vegetables were wilted not fresh, meat was rubbery. We really tried giving this place a chance bc the reviews were good but it was an awful experience. And the craziest part was she would scowl and/ or ignore us but smile at the two Asian patrons there. read more

So good. The service is slow, so don't go if you're in a rush. You can't really get pho anywhere else in Chattanooga, but that's okay because they nail it! read more

Restaurant is clean and has a feel of walking into a mom and pop restaurant. The spring rolls are different with mushroom like flavor, we ordered the chicken and beef pho's. The broth was ok, the noodles seemed to be standard rice noodles, and the veggies were limited. I've had much better in bigger cities, but for Chattanooga it is something nice and different. The owner is super nice and their iced espresso is a nice treat. We'll be back and I'd recommend it to newbies!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious. The presentation is a work of art, and the soups are exquisite. So much flavor packed into that broth. It blew me away. The place is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Awesome experience. Definitely will be frequenting this establishment. read more

Been a couple times. The first time was awful as far as service was considered. Extremely ridiculously slow. (10 minutes to even be seated, 15 minutes to give drink order, and another 15 minutes to receive drink). They weren't "busy", there were only two tables other than us there... The food was wonderful, however! We were there more than twice as long as we guessed we'd be, and that made us late for our next appointment:/ Went again to try... This time, we gave ourselves plenty of time, but found out we didn't need to! They added a server!!! Service was wonderful, and the food seemed even better. I come from an area where there were several pho restaurants to choose from. I'm very picky with pho. Anyone that craves pho, and is looking for AUTHENTIC pho can be assured that this is the place to go to. Unfortunately, this is the ONLY (real) pho place in Chattanooga. I've tried them all so you don't have to... Not that there are many to choose from. Five stars because the food is really excellent. Also enjoyed the bahn mi. read more

This was our first visit. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. I ordered the Pho Chay (baby bok choy, tofu, and white mushrooms that look like sliced chicken). My husband ordered the cold shrimp noodles. We ordered the autumn rolls (noodles, lettuce, and pork wrapped in rice paper) we had never had those before so we didn't know what to expect. It's like biting into a big noodle, very carby and cold. We will try the summer rolls next time. The ginger chili sauce was amazing, not sticky, not too sweet, and left a pleasant after burn. The Pho Chay was refreshing and light, exactly what I would expect from the dish. The broth is infused with rejuvenating flavors, perfect for a healthy lunch after a week of eating fried foods on the go. The Pho is accompanied by the typical bean sprouts, cilantro, lime wedge, and jalapeño. The dipping sauce for the vegetables was the downside. It was too salty and overwhelmed all the vegetables but the tofu. The flavors in the sauce really stood out with the tofu. For everything else, I picked up each vegetable and put a little dab of hoisin sauce on it to avoid getting it in the broth. I notified the waitress about the saltiness of the homemade sauce, so hopefully next time it will get even better. My husband was happy that the shells were left on the skewered shrimp to keep them tender. He enjoyed the sauce on the noodles after some prodding from the owner, which looked like the same sauce with the autumn rolls. He said the cold noodles were different but refreshing and flavorful. We had lunch at 1pm on Sunday. There were 4 other tables filled. We sat next to the fish tank in the wall, which was entertaining. The staff was very friendly. We were asked to make ourselves at home and the food does exactly that for you. The music is an interesting mix of piano instrumentals (like in Miyazaki films) and tango. In a lot of the tracks there are chimes which seem to play at the exact moment you're tasting a different flavor, so I can kind of see what they were going for there. The decor is interesting but crowded. The tables are spaced well, there is a bar and several neon signs and beer related signs, and then there are the pictures of fruit and the grape arbor overhanging the bar. The red wall sconces are pretty, but the blue LED lighting is confusing. There was a large paneled minimalist b&w mural of photographed calla lilies with the blue/purple LED lights shining on it, and right above that, four Japanese scrolls with ladies reading and writing. Girl power! So, the decor is a little mismatched. But that's ok. There is no thick, clingy odor of "food smell" punching you I the nose when you walk in. Instead, you notice a slowly lingering herbal breeze each time the kitchen door opens. The ventilation is so good that it was a little cold, probably because you're eating steaming hot Pho, and it helps so you can't smell the food from the next table, which is one of my pet peeves at a lot of Asian restaurants. We will be back, and will take photos next time. read more

Amazing quality food. Ran by a woman that takes care of all front of house business and one cook. Language barrier there for sure. Which lead to long wait times and difficulties describing what something is, or eating in and deciding to order something to go- after your meal. All and all great food nice people just have to be patient read more

Service is S ... L ... O ... W ... took 45 minutes to get our appetizer!!! Then she informed us they were out of cilantro and basil to put in the pho we ordered 45 minutes ago!!! Say what?!?! That is the main staple of things you need to add to the pho!!! We asked if she had other veggies to make up for what they didnt have like bok choy and she said "No, bok choy goes only on soup." .... pho has liquid, is served woth a big soup spoon ... wtf is pho then, lasagna??? We didn't get any substitution of veggies at all. Steaming mad between this and the terrible unfriendly service. Will not be back!!! read more

truly a gem in the sands of mediocrIty ..... excellent pho... authentic... clean... and fresh super friendly staff with well spoken english.. MY 'GO TO when i'm on this side and not near the boat house read more

I really enjoyed the pho and the spring rolls were great. Service was a little slow but the food was well worth the wait.

We are so excited to have a place to order pho. The broth is delicious, full of flavor, and you are able to order tripe. The menu is well priced and everything we have tried is delicious. read more

First time customer here, and right off the bat this place is catchy. The atmosphere is soothing with an ambient Southeastern Asian setting. The Asian music is a nice accompanying touch, too. Being the only pho restaurant in the greater Chattanooga area, I am impressed with its layout. Now to the food...I ordered the rare beef pho with iced coffee. Very good stuff - reminds me of the restaurants back in Nashville. Very pleased with the taste. If I could recommend one thing, it would be to have more sauces for the pho! Yes, hoisin sauce and sriracha is tasty but you can't forget the sate and the tangy Vietnamese fish sauce! This is not a very big deal but would have been a nice addition for an avid pho eater. The iced coffee was delicious and helped to cool me off after sweating bullets (too much sriracha). Overall, I enjoyed my first experience at Noodle & Pho and will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Noodles & Pho - Rare Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

Amazing food and wonderful customer service. We have looked all over town ever since moving from Houston. This place is it! Come try the Phó. It's delicious!!!! read more

Awesome Pho! This was our first experience with Vietnamese food, and it was delicious! Will definitely be back on a REGULAR basis!

This unassuming looking restaurant in the strip mall between Staples and Hobby Lobby is a winner! The bowls of Pho are huge (I couldn't finish mine), the broth flavorful and plenty of sprouts, cilantro, basil, lime and jalapenos are provided on the side for you to customize your bowl. I read previous reviews regarding the lack of jalapenos, lemons instead of limes and a strong cleaning fluid smell. Clearly the owners of Noodles & Pho also read the reviews and have corrected all of those issues. We had attentive service and good food and will be back soon. At only $7.50 for a meal I couldn't even finish, it's a great value too. I hope this restaurant will be in Hixson for a long time, so I can enjoy their food. read more

This is the worst service I've had in Chattanooga! First we had to ask for service after sitting with no interaction from staff, then the waitress gets our drink order ( 2 Waters) which took an ungodly length of time to receive then she proceeded to go to a table who sat down after we did and get their order, at this point we left, This is not the first time we've had an issue and we will not be returning! read more

Craving pho in Chattanooga, and this is your option. Delicious. It's still pretty new. The summer rolls and rare beef pho are amazing. The Vietnamese coffee over ice is also a treat. Definitely worth a bimonthly voyage to red bank for a pho fix. Yum read more

'Where's the Beef?" My wife and I ate here frequently, and enjoyed Noodles and Pho, until the dishes became all noodles and very little beef/pork. When we were leaving, still hungry with little protein, for what we paid, We gave up on N & P. Too bad, we really enjoyed the place. read more

Great, authentic Vietnamese food! They have a decent beer selection too. Service was slightly slow, but otherwise no complaints.

This was my first visit & I was pleased. This was a great dinner for a chilly day. Both my dining partner & I ordered the Rare beef pho for $9. The broth was light but flavorful, several good size slices of beef & sufficient noodles to broth ratio. It was a huge bowl! And the plate of sprouts/herbs/lime/jalapeño was plentiful & fresh. I skipped the sriracha & added a tiny bit of hoisin sauce, both which are on the table. We enjoyed the jasmine hot tea, which was some of the best I've had in a while. The place is small & it was full of customers- I'm glad to see this, hoping it's a sign they'll be open for a long time. It did take a little while (20mins or so?) for our food to come out, but we weren't in a hurry so it was ok. Staff was friendly. I'm excited to come back & try something else next time!! (They are not open Mondays at all so plan your visit accordingly. Also they don't take credit card for under $10 purchase) read more

Noodles & Pho - Rare beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

The food was delicious, but the service was absolutely awful. We arrived as the lunch rush was slowing down, around12:50 pm. One other couple came in after us. It took about 10 minutes to place our order, where we ordered two entrées, one soup, and order of dumplings and two orders of the summer spring rolls. I waited about 25 minutes, after placing our order to ask her where the food was and she said it would be coming out soon. I checked again another 10 minutes or so later and she said it would be soon. At that point, we figured we had already waited so long that we would just stick it out. It was 55 minutes before we got our food. I gave it to stars, because the food was really good, and fresh but with service like that I would never go back. If the service had even been normal, where we would've received our appetizers 20 minutes after ordering that I definitely would've given a four or five stars. read more

Great Pho! Makes a wonderful rainy day or cold day mea.l I've had both the vegetable and chicken phos, and they were both delicious. I love pho with basil and neither had basil; so I'll request with next order. Their springs rolls are good, but I went mainly for pho. There is enough pho so that I can make 2 meals out of it. Will definitely go back. read more

Nice pho restaurant. No doubt the food is fresh and the noodle tastes delicious: ) The price is a little high though.

Five Star!! Try as much off the menu here! Spring rolls are on point! Any dish that had their sausage is amazing. Authentic, classic, flavors you never knew existed! Definitely TOP 3 of ANY place in Hixson! Deliciously Tempting, to bad it's Monday. Closed on Monday :( read more

Got some pho to go, was utterly blown away at how good it was! we got the chef bowl and the stewing beef bowl (i think... #10 and #12). OMG LIFE CHANGINGLY GOOD! read more

I went there for the first time today and was very disappointed. The server,(long hair with glasses) was rude and unknowledgable about their products. I said, "what's in this?" she said, "look at the picture". If I could tell what everything was from the tiny one square inch photo on the menu I wouldn't be asking what it is! Then when I told her I couldn't see it, she was like, "Um, well it's like everything. lots of things and stuff." WTF?? When the food finally came to the table, she asked if I'd eaten there before. I told her, "no, that's why I was asking about the contents of the dish." She said, "okay, well you put this bowl into that bowl and mix well" and walked off. "this" bowl had some sort of funky, fermented smelling stuff in it that I chose not to use. On top of that, the entire time I was there no one ever cleaned the dirty table full of half eaten food and dishes that was 2 feet from me when the people who were eating there left. I will definitely NOT be going back there again. read more
