We really enjoy Vietnamese food and we had not been able to find a place in Brownsville that satisfied that itch. So we came to Pho#1 and really hit the jackpot! The pho was spectacular and the curry was so delicious. We also had the spring rolls and steamed dumplings. We enjoyed every bite!! The service was friendly and fast. The ambience was also nice. Plenty of room to sit comfortably.

The pho here definitely satisfies my cravings especially in cold and gloomy weather. The portion size is large, the broth is flavorful, and the meat is super tender. I especially love the ones with meatballs! They have an expansive menu with various Asian dishes as well. I got their tofu lettuce wraps (option to use other meats as well) and omg I've never had such savory tofu before! I almost felt full eating that appetizer before the pho even came out lol. So for the vegans and vegetarians out there this place is very friendly :) The shop is warm and cozy inside and the service here is fast! There was one occasion when my take out order was messed up and they only offered to give me a re-do the same day rather than being able to come back another day, which was kind of inconvenient for me to drive to and from home twice.

Very good food and good service. I would recommend. Tasty. I got the Spicy beef, meatball, and tendon pho and my boyfriend got the sliced medium rare beef pho and they were both amazing. We will definitely come again and try more menu options! The restaurant was also very clean and beautiful on the inside.

Wow! Pretty good Vietnamese in Harlingen?? Who would have thought. It's not going to win any awards, but likely the best I've had in a long time so there are definitely points there. Fast, clean, great service. I had the pork fried dumplings. They were a bit gummy, but on the other side of that they were quite tasty and I enjoyed the sauce. For the entre I went with the B30: 30. Vermicelli with Marinated Char-grilled Shrimp. It was VERY fresh, tasty and hit the spot. The shrimp were way over cooked, but they made up for it with a fantastic seasoning. I would definitely return and advise anyone who likes Asian food to stop by if they are in Harlingen.

Hey ya'll. Raquel here to just tell you all that if you are ever in the Harlingen area this is a fair to good little spot. They serve small from what I am used to. Unsure if they are feeling the "recession" but not what I am entirely use to in plate sizes. It might be a good thing as I should cut back. Lol! The broth in the Pho was pretty delish. I have had better bahn-mi sandwich. Bread was pretty rough and the size of the sub was smaller than normal. Hardly any meat in sub. I'm a huge fan of the Banh Mi sandwich which could be why I am a bit critical and not content. Fresh egg rolls were fresh yet thin. The lady checking out was pretty nice. Okay place to my opinion.

Great Pho and Thai food , generous portions, reasonably priced, good service, casual atmosphere

I should probably give them two stars but I give them three and here's why. I guess I am spoiled living in Houston Texas as we have the best food. These lose one star right off the bat! When you walk in it smells really awful. I asked what if was. They said they are burning candles to mask them sell of the sewer. Terrible for a restaurant. *** attention management **** Strike two. The cokes are flat. The sprite was flat! If you are going to operate a restaurant please make sure you dam soda machine is working or simply offer cokes in a can. Because the ones you are selling are flat and taste terrible. Not that hard to do the right thing and fix your soda machine or sell cans ************************************** Lastly the food: I got the lemon grass beef and as you can see from the pics, this is not lemon grass beef! I am not sure what it was. Maybe their own version of it. They claim to be Thai and Vietnamese but they also sell Chinese food. Guys pick one and get good at that lol. This is the first time in a long time I asked to send my food back and get something else. I simply couldn't eat their version of lemon grass beef. I settled for general tso chicken which was good. My bud got orange chicken. They need a lot of work here. Service was great. Waitress was really nice.

Being the only Pho restaurant in Harlingen, Texas I had to drop by. The restaurant is in a shopping center that has plenty of parking. It has the right decor and plenty of tables. Jennifer was very efficient and friendly, the decor is on point. The Pho menu is very limited, only one size bowl, and only one chicken choice. Multiple beef choices. I started with an appetizer of egg rolls (mostly known as spring rolls). So I asked for soy sauce since this Asian restaurant does not have soy sauce or chili paste on the tables, Jennifer brought soy sauce packets and tiny individual plastic containers with chili paste to my table. To wash it down, I asked for a glass of drinking water, what I got was a cold iced glass of "TAP WATER", Seriously?? I don't know if they charged me for the water, but please, if you don't, charge the customer something and serve us some purified water, because the Harlingen Tap Water does not taste good, and it ruins the meal. The weather was cold and wet so I craved for hot chicken soup, so I ordered the only chicken Pho on the menu. They only have one large size bowl of Pho. And it was served with jalapeño, lime wedges and fresh cilantro (CILANTRO???), ....... Not fresh MINT or BASIL? It must be a local thing, or maybe mint or basil are not readily available in this part of the country. The soup is served hot but there aren't a lot of chicken slices in the bowl, in addition, the chicken is sliced unevenly (some thick slices and some thin slices). The chicken Pho was not the best, but not the worst, it was just ok. The key was the cilantro versus fresh mint or basil. I ordered a Chicken Pad Thai to go, because #1 Pho also serves Thai food. The chicken Pad Thai first of all, at #1 Pho is served with steamed rice, WHY RICE? Your starch is the noodles!!! Maybe because you're trying to give me less noodles. The Pad Thai here is priced slightly higher than other Thai restaurants, and served with less noodles, it comes with chopped peanuts on the side, and a lime wedge. Overall, you got a modest 5 out of 10. Leaving you a lot of room for improvement, you could start with purified water, if it wasn't for all the water on the soup, I don't know what I would have done.
