Paul is back and as good as ever. The food is fantastic and service was great. They nicely adjusted spiciness for each of us. Everything I have had has been phenomenal. The spring rolls and peanut sauce are superb. Also a great lunch value of entree, soup, and spring roll for under $10. Love it. read more

Wonderful service, always fresh and quality ingredients! Get the grilled pork soft roll as an appetizer, and you can't go wrong with the vermicelli bowl or the pho. read more

Love this place! Ambiance is great, second visit in two weeks tonight and the food and service were top notch. Recommend the Summer Rolls and the Crispy Spring Rolls, Broccoli in garlic sauce is the bomb! Also try the roll your own BBQ. Can we say yummy? We will be back next week for a fix!! read more

The name is pho1grill the best Pho in RVA when it's cold outside, and you want the best Pho this is the place. The service is outstanding the food has taste that will keep you coming back. Love it so please try it. read more

Excellent food at this Place! I ordered Vegatarian Dumplings and the Vegan Pho and it was better than any Vegatarian restaurants!! The Vegatarian Pho had a ton of great yummy veggies in the broth cooked perfectly. I have tried ALL of the Vietnamese restaurants in a 50-100 mile radius of RIchmond VA and Pho 1 Grill is the best in my opinion out of all of them! It is a clean, lovely place and the service was so friendly and attentive! Will come back over and over again! read more

We stopped in on a rainy day, perfect for downing some hot pho. The broth was delicious and flavorful, the portion size just right. I had a hard time finding my tripe (ordered the P1), but the rest of the proteins in my bowl were plentiful. My hubbie ordered the seafood bowl with thin egg noodles, which was equally tasty. Everything hit the spot! The menu offered more than just noodles. Nice decor, very nice service. read more

Excellent food but the owner and staff set this place apart. Easily the experience with ownership. GreAt people who make great food.

Pho and rice with grilled pork the best in town. Services very good and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

I generally have the worst luck with places like this. My boyfriend and best friend are very picky and don't like trying new things. We passed this place after some pre-Christmas rush shopping and I convinced them to let me grab a menu. It only took ten seconds after saying "bubble tea" that we ended up inside. 1) super attentive staff. Enthusiastic, friendly, smiling - every single person we encountered. In an age where customer service is almost dead, this high level of professionalism was refreshing. 2) short wait time for the food. Drinks were refilled quickly too. Prices were affordable and reasonable. 3) best friend got sweet and sour chicken and a strawberry bubble tea. The plating was aesthetically pleasing - the chicken beautifully contrasted with green peppers, carrots, and onions. He enjoyed it immensely. 4) boyfriend got the pho with rice noodles and round eye steak. He's stubborn to a fault and I worried he'd be disappointed but he quickly went through it. Stated it was "perfect." Huge portion. 5) I got the pho with squid, crab, shrimp, and fish. I'm not a connoisseur by any means (which some reviewers cannot be pleased by anything) but I found the broth to be delicious. Every seafood piece in the broth was prepared beautifully and was the perfect texture. The noodles seemed endless and the beansprouts were crispy and full of flavor. Large bowl. Also got the grilled pork spring roll and wonton soup. The spring rolls pork was cooked well and seasoned even better. If you like pork, it's an inexpensive "must order" appetizer. 6) thanked numerous times upon leaving. I will be back. The atmosphere was calm and inviting. They treated the three of us as if we had been eating there for years, even though it was our first time eating there. 7) I downloaded the app to review this place - that's how highly I think of it. read more

Pho 1 Grill is hands down the best pho restaurant in the West End. The broth is so flavorful and has so many spices that make it a true comfort food. Other dishes I've tried are equally as delicious as the pho. The owners are the sweetest people with a passion for serving people and providing a nice meal. The restaurant itself is immaculate and nicely decorated. I love taking friends and family here because I know they will be warmly welcomed, receive great service, and eat delicious food. read more

Fabulous all around. Paul and Ellen are back and Richmond wins! Hands down best Vietnamese food around.

Pho 1 Grill is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond. They are great with their customers and always provide exemplary service. Donna is an amazing chef; I've never been unsatisfied with any of the menu options I've ordered. On top of everything else, the ambiance and decor are top tier. The Trans are great and I am more than happy to support them. You can't go wrong with Pho 1 Grill! read more

We've been coming to Mr. and Mrs. Tran's restaurant at least once a week for almost 10 years--it was House of Vietnam before this, located next to Ukrop's/Martins across the street from Barnes and Noble/Short Pump Elementary. Their restaurant is now behind the Short Pump Hilton on the mall's ring road. Another commenter mentioned he thought prices were high. Perhaps he was forgetting location; the chain restaurants circling the mall run about $14-17 for rice and pasta dishes and most of those chains use mass-produced and frozen food. Prices at Tara Thai (across the mall parking lot) are about the same as here. If you go to southside Richmond or Chesterfield, everything gets cheaper! :) This is a nice restaurant, suitable for date night, after work, and family get-togethers, so a little different than the cheap hole-in-the-wall places in certain areas of Richmond metro. The staff is always friendly and will remember you and your preferences within several visits. We are greeted by name, were given our own t-shirts when they opened the new restaurant (mine is purple), and our drink orders await us on a table every time we walk in the door (they see us driving in and get the table set up). When we leave, there are special candies in the bill folio, since we like one kind a lot! My elderly mom is welcomed specially on the Sundays we bring her to lunch. Here's the amazing part--we're not that special. They do it for lots of people! The Trans and their staff remember people's names, preferences, family information-in a warm and professional manner. It's almost unheard of in the suburbs in 2014 for people to be this nice! We often see the same families and dating/young couples when we go for dinner, and found out that a work colleague has a special order (only white meat chicken) that they know to make for her. It's a lovely place that's always welcoming. There are plenty of good reviews of the food at Mr. and Mrs. Tran's restaurant, so I won't add any more to that (though C1 is the best: BBQ Tofu on Vermicelli--it used to be B26 when the restaurant was House of Vietnam). We think this is the best restaurant in Richmond (and definitely the best Vietnamese restaurant) because the service is simply amazing. You should skip the chain places and make this a regular visit! read more

Will I drive an hour for a $7.00 bowl of soup? Hell yes, I will, when it's this good! Not having many (any) pho options in Charlottesville, my husband and I will take a field trip to Richmond for pho and a museum or a movie, and we always end up back at Pho 1 Grill. Super friendly staff and awesome pho Thai, with flavorful broth and plentiful meat options. The dumpling appetizer is also very good. read more

We found this place through Yelp, and had fairly high expectations! We walked in having a general idea of what to expect, and were still pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate. The decor is very classy and the lighting is just right. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. The wait staff was really excellent - they checked back on us several times, which some people might find irritating, but I think is great. I hate having to try and flag down a passing server every time you need something. We got the summer rolls (fresh rolls with shrimp, noodles, lettuce and basil in a thin soft wrapper - not fried) for an appetizer, and I got the vietnamese coffee. For those of you who aren't familiar, this is a treat. They have a tiny percolator that sits atop a glass of sweetened condensed milk; the grounds are on top and the coffee brews directly into your cup. You get a little bit of coffee grounds, but it's not that big a deal and it always tastes ten times better than anything you get at Starbucks. The summer rolls were on point; my banh mi that I ordered as my entree was excellent, with very flavorful meat and some of the softest bread I've come across. My boyfriend got the beef vermicelli bowl, and was very happy with it - the veggies were super fresh, the beef was well flavored, and the noodles were cooked just right. After the meal was done, we got a couple of bubble teas to go. This was the only part of the meal that wasn't outstanding for me - the boba didn't seem all that fresh, or was maybe overcooked. The flavor was still good, but the pearls had gotten to the sticky/dissolving stage and were hard to take in through the straw. After we finished up, the owner came over and asked how everything was; he seemed so thrilled when we told him everything had been excellent! You can really tell that he takes customer satisfaction seriously. Overall, it was an excellent find, and we will most definitely be back. read more

Ive loved their food since before they even moved to this location. The decor and atmosphere is exactly what their amazing food needed. Seriously the nicest people you have ever met, and you can't order something bad. In my opinion the best wonton soup in town. Dumplings are great too, and the pork chop broken rice dish is perfect. You can't have a bad experience here. I Highly recommend the Vietnamese iced coffee!!! If you haven't eaten here before you need too. read more

We were on vacation in Virginia from Boston. We stayed in the Short Pump area and went to this restaurant 3 times in a week for dinners. The owner and all the servers were very friendly and courteous. The service is excellent. The food is awesome. Our favorites were the house fried rice and the veggie tofu in claypot. read more

Great customer service. Everyone is happy to help! Amazing food and beverages, 5 stars! read more

Pho 1 Grill - Lemongrass Chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

My wife and I have eaten at every Vietnamese Restaurant in Richmond...Pho 1 Grill is our favorite. We eat here every week usually we get C3 or B9... We love the atmosphere here. The staff are very attentive and the owners Paul and Ellen make you feel at home. read more

This place is amazing. I usually don't eat curry but I tried the lunch special curry chicken and fried rice. It was very delicious. Now I can't stop craving it. Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely be back soon. Might even go back for dinner today read more

I ate here during my lunch break. Every aspect of my visit was perfect. Just to list a few things off: The service was fast, the staff was friendly, the dining area was clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable. This restaurant isn't decorated with kitschy over-the-top trinkets like most pho places are - it's set up with sleek, contemporary furniture that's pleasant to sit on. My soup was hot, delicious, and the meat wasn't too chewy for once! All the vegetables that came with it were fresh and crisp. I can't wait to bring friends and family here. read more

Man, I'm giving out so many low reviews Went here because my aunt and uncle had gone here before and liked it, but it was kind of a let down for me. I ordered the asparagus and tofu dish from the vegetarian section of the menu because it looked different and like something I couldn't cook at home, but it was just asparagus and tofu stir-fried in oyster sauce. As a result, I'd like to try more of their traditional dishes before I give a final rating, but this was the second time my other uncle visited, and he was underwhelmed once again. My grandparents also noted that their soups were a little salty, but I tasted some of the pho broth and it seemed fined to me, so the verdict's still out on that one too. I also had the taro (powder) bubble tea, and it was super sweet. I considered it my dessert rather than my drink. The bubbles were really soft though, which saved the drink from being a complete fiasco. All in all, Pho 1 Grill has okay Viet food with mediocre service-our wait to order and receive our food was longer than most Viet restaurants I've been too. I'd go here again for a final verdict and simply out of convenience living in the Short Pump area. I might've stopped here for lunch after a shift at the mall if I had known about it earlier. read more

This place is amazing, from the youngest to oldest in my family just love it! It's ran by a family who make you feel like you just walked in to your own home. Food is alway fresh and simply delicious, the pho is phenomenal, the broth is very flavorful, portions are great and quality of food they are serving can't be found anywhere else, most places use frozen vegetables and you can tell when that is, not here!!. I recommend this place to everyone try it! It will become your home. read more

Honestly I can't say enough about this amazing and wonderful find. When a place has gracious and helpful service, great food and for a great price. What more can you expect and is why I had to give it a five. I've had their good three times, twice for dine in and one for takeout and all were great. I live about 25 minutes away and every time it is more than worth the drive. The vermicelli's are great and favorite of mine with Vietnamese food, and their bubble teas are great and recently had a banh mi, the meat was excellent, seasoning great, the bread was perfect. The owner has greeted us every time and thanked us for coming. And as a credit to him remembered are group from last time. It was overall one of the best if not so far the best dinning experience I've had in Richmond, VA!!! read more

Best pho and absolute best customer service! Sweetest family. Quick service, delicious food!

Big, clean restaurant with big portions and prompt service! I appreciate that the menu has healthy options - after eating half a pint of ice cream last night, I wanted something healthy-ish for lunch and I was happy to see steamed shrimp and veggies and the menu. It was a fresh and tasty meal! read more

This family run restaurant offers excellent Vietnamese food with a lovely atmosphere. The owners could not be friendlier or more attentive and the servers always put a smile on my face. If you need a boost of positivity I could not recommend eating here enough. read more

This is a great spot. The family that runs it is very friendly. The Pho is delicious and had quality, fresh ingredients. The menu has other items like fried rice to satisfy those who don't want Pho. My daughter had that and it was quite good. Don't go on Monday, closed. read more

Nice decor, clean and spacious. People were nice at the restaurant and very attentive, my water was never empty. Great service, great prices. Pho was delicious with decent portions. For an extra $3, i had extra meat. Meat was fresh and tender and came with a large amount. Broth was delicious, clear and flavorful. The appetizer sampler was great, 4 different types that were all great. read more

Delicious food and delightfully friendly service! Pho 1 Grill has the best Bahn Mi in Richmond. Their Tom Yum soup has great flavor and is made with the freshest ingredients. When a restaurant serves food this good and so clearly appreciates my business, I feel good about patronizing it. Pho 1 Grill had earned my loyalty. read more

We had 3 lunches while visiting Richmond - authentic and fresh Vietnamese cuisine! We had pho, grilled combo dish, pancake, spring rolls, rice dishes, Vietnamese coffee, bubble tea - all were amazing! To top it off, the services are friendly and super fast! read more

Excellent place. Food is always fresh and well prepared. The family that owns it couldn't be more friendly or pleasant.

Service was very slow, grumpy faced front desk staff. Food was barely edible. The tables are too close together for comfort.

I don't understand everyone else's review but, then again maybe we came on a bad day or something. We got the sampler appetizer and banh mi and it was quite oily and dry AND tasteless. Probably will never go back. Also the service was not as great as everyone said it would be :( read more

My absolute favorite place to get Pho! They always remember us and spoil the kids with a treat after our meal. Super customer service as well! read more

Wow this place was delicious! The staff was friendly and the place is new and spacious. We started out with the Shrimp Shrimp Shrimp, which is the jumbo shrimp rolls, it was served hot and crispy. Loved the added onion and the sweet chili sauce. I had the grilled pork vermicelli for the entree and boy was it yummy! Large portion and flavorful. read more

Great food, fabulous interior, amazing staff and customer service! Highly recommend the red bean and green tea ice cream!
