I have been here twice and loved the place. great energy and top notch super fast service. I love the vegan Pho. They give you so many fresh toppings, flavorful broth, very filling. I need to try out the other vegan options. read more

Outdoor Ice hockey in Tampa - record cold temperatures so being a creature of habit, cold= Pho and Pho 101 wins out. Why go anywhere else? We debated trying a closer pho restaurant but why try when you love something? Their broth is always flavorful and their chicken pho is always loaded with white meat chicken. Service is very good and the restaurant is always clean but somewhat dated. We go for the pho and red bean boba. read more

Pho 101 is hands down the best Vietnamese spot in town. The portions are huge, you definitely get your money's worth and the food is consistently flavorful and filling. They easily beat the competition when it comes to both quality and portion size. I actually found this place during Covid, and they've been a go-to ever since. One time they got my order wrong, but they completely made it right by giving me a free dish on my next visit. That kind of customer service goes a long way and shows they really care about their customers. Great food, generous portions, and solid service. If you're craving pho or Vietnamese food, Pho 101 is the place to go. Highly recommend. read more

I stopped in here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was moderately busy but has a decent amount of parking. I was show to a table and the server was friendly and asked if I had questions about the menu. She explained how the broths for the soups are made as well as the different styles of noodles that they have. I went for the spicy beef noddle soup and I was not disappointed. It wasn't too spicy. But had a nice kick to it. Portion sizes are generally big (it was enough to fill me up) and everything tasted fresh. The restaurant has a low key mom-and-pop style vibe. I had a great experience and I'd return here again. read more

Pho 101 is roughly 45 miles North of Port Charlotte and it rings the bells of Food, Service and Ambiance loudly. While local Pho restaurants tend to overcharge (opinion) by $3-$4 per Bowl, it becomes worthwhile to "make the drive" to a perfect Pho restaurant. We will still visit locals on occasion, but Pho 101 has figured out perfect balance. They also make us feel welcome, which was never a particular concern, but it sets them apart from the competition. Their Boba Tea is like I've grown accustomed to on the U.S. West Coast. I don't understand why some Pho restaurants bring you actual cold Tea, but THESE are indistinguishable from fruit flavored Milkshakes...although they, at $5.95 each, are overpriced by $2. They are incredibly good. Mango, Blackberry, etc. Anyway, the Pho Nam (with Brisket) is incredibly good and with the load of fresh shoots and Thai Basil leaves provided. I-75N to Clark Rd. (Exit 205) then West to US 41 (Tamiami Trail) the North a few blocks. It's on the Right. read more

PHO 101 Noodle House - Chicken fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Upon entering, I was greeted by friendly service and seated immediately. I ordered the egg roll appetizer, nothing special and quite a small serving with a sweet sauce, lettuce accompanied the dish was not fresh. The waiter recommended beef pho, the meat was cut and cooked inconsistently, some tough, some thick then paper thin. The broth was ok but I've experienced much better pho at most other places. The rave reviews lead me to believe they simply have much lower standards lacking competition In the area, I would not recommend this place based on my experience. read more

Good decent pho in Sarasota. About 4.5 stars in my book. Pricing is reasonable in the middle of the pack. Space is big for many customers but I still have to wait for the seat when we visited. We got a lot of dishes. We order the chicken skewers for the kid. As an adult, we like this dish due to their marinated sauce. We also got the fried calamari. That dish is just ok. Our dish is the spicy Hue Tiew. It is rice pasta soup noodles with beef slices. The soup base is not overpowering. Just good for my taste. Overall serving is good and so do the food serve speed. We don't have to wait for long for our food. read more

Had a filling grilled salmon vermicelli with a larger than expected piece of salmon cooked perfectly. Vietnamese iced coffee slow dripped into sweetened condensed milk was strong and refreshing. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant decor echoed previous iterations of other restaurants, but was comfortable and clean. read more

What an establishment! Have eaten there several times now. Phantastic Pho and screamingly great Spring Rolls!

As soon as I walked in, presumably the owner, pointed at my water tumbler and told me to not bring in outside drinks next time. I offered to leave it in my car and he said next time. Since that moment I felt like me and my tumbler were being watched unfortunately. The food was good! I ordered the spring roll, which came with a deliciously flavorful peanut sauce, the shrimp pho, which I wish came with tailed shrimp, and a taro tea, which I'd order again. This was a charming, cozy restaurant minus the helicopter owner. read more

This place is awesome! So many good options for delicious Asian food-noodle soup, stir fry, rice dish, salad with choice of vegetable, meat, seafood. I had a chicken crispy Vietnamese noodle. It was so good. The crispy egg noodle was fried to perfect and yet not greasy. The sauce was so pleasing. Variety of fresh vegetable and chicken slices on top of noodle, what a delicious ensemble! The portion was big enough for me to take half home. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The seating area was comfortable and clean. We met up with a Yelp friend and his daughter here. We enjoyed our tasty meal and good conversation. It was a happy afternoon. read more

First time. Had to take out as it was close to closing. Special pho and grill pork over vermicelli was authentic and legit. Soup was good. Chatted with the lady owner and she was cool. Been in biz over thirty years and it is understandable why. Can't wait to be back for sit down meal. read more

Good service and delicious food overall. The drink left me wondering what type of coffee the restaurant uses -- it had a ton of condensed milk, yet still tasted quite bitter. I'm not a sweet drink person, but I could barely taste the sweetness. The egg rolls came out hot and were a pleasant surprise, mixing shrimp and pork together for great flavor. The beef noodle soup was delicious, though I feel it could be even better with a few small tweaks. read more

We love Pho and saw this near our hotel and decided to try for lunch. The broth was righteous which is what makes or breaks Pho. Service has been very attentive. We also had the egg rolls and they were very good as well. It's a bit dated inside with elevator music playing but I can get over that easily with the quality of the food. read more

PHO 101 Noodle House - Pho Tai Rare Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Haven't been here in years. Wanted the Pho soup. I ordered the Shrimp option. There were plenty of shrimp, but hardly any vegetables. When I asked - because the last time I was here it was loaded with bok choy and other veggies - she said no there were only snow peas in there. Yes - there were a total of 3 snow peas. It will be another 7 years before I go back. $18 for a bowl of soup with no veggies is too much. I was really looking forward to the veggies plus the shrimp. read more

Excellent Pho We stopped in last night for dinner. My bowl of choice was the one with rare meat, #27 on the menu. Now that I think I'm pretty good at eating Pho, I was anxious to put my relatively new skills to use again. I still managed to splatter broth on my shirt, but just a little. My bowl was excellent, the broth exceptional. I dove in, not literally, and consumed everything my chopsticks and that oddly shaped spoon would reach. Tempting as it was to pick up the bowl and drink what remained, I did remember I was a grownup and refrained. It took about 10 minutes for those large bowls to be delivered. Service was adequate. read more

Today I had the blackened ahi tuna salad. It's huge! You can tell from the picture that they are extremely generous with the tuna. Under the tuna is ginger, mint leaves, mixed spring salad, cucumber, onion, tomato, bean sprouts and peanuts. The dressing is a wasabi soy dressing for the tuna and you get a container of fish sauce too. I mixed them as my dressing. Absolutely delicious, pretty to look at and quite satisfying! read more

We were new to Florida and not sure where to go for some good Pho. Thank you to Yelp We found this Gem. They have so many dishes to choose and I chose Bun Bo hue. It is my all time favorite noodles. When it came it's a very big bowl and have so many meat in it. It is definitely worth it but hard for me to finish it. They added perfect amount of spice and the broth tasted fresh and flavorful. The spring rolls are hot, so be careful when you take your first bite. It's very crunchy and tasty, it pairs perfectly with the dipping sauce. The service was great, our server was super nice and sweet and he made sure all our request were fulfilled. And there weren't many people there during that time, so we got a spot really quickly. The whole place is clean and comfy. We will definitely come back for more when we visit Florida again. read more

Love this place. The Pho soup is amazing. I drive 20 minutes to eat here. Every item I have ordered has been great.

Pho 101 is low key but consistent delivers delicious Asian food! The beef pho, with the perfect balance of cinnamon, ginger, star anise and cardamom, is a bowl of delicious comfort. The Korean ribs, generous and tasty, come with a simple pickled salad and steamed rice. Between the pho and the ribs-- it's always difficult to decide! The coconut curry is also quite good. The only thing that's not at par with other Vietnamese restaurants is the Cha Gio. read more

The food wasn't bad, very feeling, and well portioned for the price. Although i've had better. We asked for more broth, and the response was it would cost two dollars. Is politely declined. Service was okay, but there nothing to write home about. Not very satisfied with the ambiance would have liked some sort of holiday music in typical vietnamese style. So would I recommend this restaurant? Yes, to a novice eater. But definitely not to someone who knows about vietnamese food. The second question would I return? Politely declined to return to the restaurant, knowing that there is a better restaurant about five miles away. read more

This is a nice hidden gem in Sarasota! We've been here for years and just noticed it this year. The menu is quite expansive, and includes only Vietnamese food but also Japanese and Thai options. We of course, went for the pho. The pho topping options are relatively limited compared with other pho restaurants, but we went for the sliced beef and brisket. The sliced beef was served semi-raw (the way we like it for pho!), and I didn't have that many brisket pieces in mine. The pho broth was delicious! You always want to judge pho based on the broth and it was delicious. Clean, flavorful, savory, warming, yum! We also got the bubble tea - I chose mango, and it came as a slushy type bubble tea that I surprisingly loved! My only complaint: the man who sat us seemed really annoyed with us when we wanted to sit in a slightly less crowded area to do our best with COVID distancing. He still honored our request ultimately, so it wasn't that much of an issue. Perhaps it's just Florida - most people seem to have forgotten about any masking or distancing, so they may not be used to these requests. Something to keep in mind for those of us who aren't in Florida year round! We will definitely be back for the pho! Delicious. read more

I stopped by this place for lunch and had an the pho soup with the Vietnamese meatballs and a strawberry bubble tea. The soup had an excellent taste to it. However, the meatballs were not good at all. I figured I would try something new and different but that was a mistake.
