This part of the country has not fallen in love with pho yet. This was the only place I could find. Charlottesville, you need to eat here. It is a pretty darn good bowl of pho. The menu is very short, which to me is a plus. Not cluttered up. I got the combination pho, hubs got the sliced beef. We also had the spring rolls. All very good. The pho came with the usual accompaniments- basil, houses, sriracha, limes and jalapeños. Our server was great. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. They have a full bar, if you are so inclined. read more

OK pho if in dire need but no tripe or soft tendon unfortunately. I'm surprised Charlottesville doesn't have better Vietnamese options. Service was fine. read more

Not authentic Pho. I had to share, i throw the food away. They charge a device fee to use the machine when paying with card.

My friends and I stopped in here after hiking Old Rag. This place is so delicious. I like that the menu is simple and the service is quick. The portions here are big. I got the chicken Pho and egg rolls. read more

Overall, not bad place to get your pho fix in a small town where there isn't many choices for Vietnamese. It is a little pricier compared to the north. The pho broth lacked a bit of umami. Noodles were good. Meat was fine. read more

Came in here again on a cold day, wanting some warm and satisfying pho. Maybe I previously came in on a good day, but as I ordered the same thing (large combo pho), I was kind of disappointed. The broth was not as flavorful as I had remembered. In fact, it was sadly bland. It's probably still the best pho in Charlottesville (shows you the sad state of pho and asian food in Charlottesville in general), and I would still probably come here to get my pho fix - but I'm not sure if I can give it the same rating as I had before. read more

Delicious, we went to eat before Covid. We're waiting for to open. We love environment and food. read more

Pho 3 Pho - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Clean place with good service-this place has only been open s short time but it will be very popular here in Charlottesville!! The name is inspired by our area code here-so clever-you know it's going to be a winner!! read more

A-OK is a great way of summarizing this place for me. I've had worse and better pho in my life, and this place sits somewhere in the middle all things considered. I got a small bowl of the combo pho and split the appetizer rolls with my hubz. Pros: -yummy spring/summer rolls (the clear wrap with shrimp inside and served with peanut sauce, don't know the actual name of these) with solid sauce that is better with Sriracha (pro tip) -huge portion of noodles and meat for a "small" bowl! -one of your only pho options in Charlottesville -cute little restaurant with friendly service Cons: -something lacking in the broth - just doesn't fully hit that craving on a cold rainy day. The broth is arguably the most important part of a bowl of pho, and something just wasn't there for me -a bit on the pricey side in comparison to other pho restaurants I've been to They do have other viet dishes on the menu that I've been craving a fixing of...hope these can hit the spot for me! read more

This restaurant is kind of in a hidden location. Not much visibility off of 29 as it faces the AMF bowling alley. Upside is that there's ample parking. We ordered the sriracha wings which I thought was pretty good as well as the spring rolls. I opted to try their bun bo hue instead of their pho. The bun bo hue broth was served at room temperature with a light flavor, the meat had an odor to them and my noodles were still cold and hard. My friends got the pho and also found the flavor to be subtle. The pho broth and noodles were hot though. I also ordered the avocado smoothie which taste more like a milkshake, with a very subtle avocado flavor. I took my bun bo hue home and ate it the next day and the noodles were the right texture even after being soaked in the broth for a day. Overall, disappointed with my meal and won't likely return. read more

Mediocre pho, slow to deliver, waiter didn't understand our order. Bar tender was better. On a good note, they have quite a few taps. And what pho place doesn't have hot tea?! It's a very short menu. read more

I have been to them all in Richmond and NoVa and wherever I travel. This isn't as good as the ones on Rigsby Rd in Richmond but it is the best in Charlottesville. I like the ownership and feel that they will continue to improve week over week. They keep it simple, which is what they need right now in the beginning. Wasn't a big fan of the egg rolls. That was noticeably inferior to other Vietnamese joints. The broth was good, portion was large, noodles were cooked properly and meats were plentiful. As the broth and garnishment improves over time this place will stand out even more. read more

I gave the restaurant a second chance. The pho is unfortunately some of the worst I have ever had. The broth is too cloudy, the garnishes are lacking (no green onions, white or cilantro), the meat is of poor quality. The prices here are outrageous for pho. The owners do not know what they are doing. Please go to either Vietopia in Harrisonburg or Pho So 1 in Richmond for authentic pho. It doesn't help that the service was unresponsive. I want Charlottesville to have a real pho restaurant. I want this restaurant to succeed and improve - I haven't necessarily written the restaurant off, but please make the drive out to Rigsby Rd Pho So 1 - take notes and understand what they are doing so well. It's insanely delicious and this is extremely underwhelming. read more

Pho 3 Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

My wife and I were excited to find a Pho joint so close to home. I expect we will be regulars. Having spent time in Vietnam, I'm a bit of a Pho connoisseur and Pho 3 Pho did not disappoint. Very simple menu which was actually a welcome and refreshing change for two reasons: 1) I am sick of having to make decisions and 2) a Pho restaurant shouldn't really serve much else :-). I don't drink but there is a full bar and excellent beer selection. Ok - just for humor points - I will point out that the music was bizarre. While dining I heard everything from HipHop to Metallica. Now don't get me wrong... I love Metallica. I'm just not sure how I feel about it with Pho. I'll stew on that for a while and get back to you. read more

Oh my gosh. This is so good. Order the small though. The large can feed like 3 people. I got the combination bowl and everything in it was dress and delicious and perfectly cooked. I love all the sauces they offer. My daughters chicken and rice dish was pretty awesome too but she seemed to prefer my noodles for the first time ever. Give this place a shot, I wasn't disappointed. I will be back very soon! Oh, and their chili sauces were different than most and amazing! read more

Pho 3 Pho - Pho ga (chicken) - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place was great. I am always looking for better(less 'chainy') restaurants up 29 and Pho 3 Pho delivers. Finally a good Pho place in Cville. Will write a more through review once I have had more options on the menu. People were splendid and the food was great, definitely family friendly. read more

The Pho In that place is good but anything else was just a bad experience. It took 20 min to get our drinks and our food arrived before the drinks came. The appetizers weren't that good either, it was just bland and a disappointment. I would recommend this place if you no other options. read more

Whole menu is great. I do wish the thai tea was a little sweeter. I love the grilled pork, very flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is friendly. read more

While waiting for a vet appointment to wrap up I decided to treat myself to a Pho lunch to go. I was so happy with my meal!! I ordered the Pho Nam which is Noodle Soup w/ Brisket and on the side came cilantro, onions, beansprouts and spicy peppers, the two sauces I don't have names for but that Red spicy sauce was aahhhmazing! The broth was flavorful and the whole dish made me happy! I also ordered a Vietnamese Coffee. I HIGHLY recommend it. Strong slow drip coffee over condensed milk = heaven, over ice just made it better! The gentleman making my coffee kept apologizing for the wait but I really didn't mind I mean first of all "slow drip" its not an espresso shot from Starbucks lol well worth the wait and secondly the atmosphere is lovely. Full bar it looked like and TVs for sports lovers. Wonderful staff & fantastic food I'll definitely be back!!!!! read more

If I could indicate zero stars I would have. We've lived in Charlottesville for 17 years and this may be the worst food we've had since we moved here. We ordered Pho, and the meat tasted so peculiar I couldn't bring myself to actually swallow it. We ordered for delivery, so all I could do was throw it away. The spring rolls were unidentifiable. There was a slice of meat that was inedible because of the disgusting flavor, and I think the rest of the roll was lettuce and congealed noodles. My husband and I threw those away. He ate the pho because we didn't have anything else in the house. He had heartburn a few minutes after he finished I found some very old frozen sweet potato fries and ate them. We're out $50. You have been warned! BTW, there are other pho places in Charlottesville that are good. Thai Cuisine is one of them. Unfortunately we live in the sticks and can't get delivery from them. read more

My fiancé and I came here during our visit in Charlottesville last week. We were craving pho so bad and we were happy we found this pho place near our hotel. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away. Service was great and our server was so nice and friendly. We really wanted to like this pho place but unfortunately we didn't like the broth at all which is what pho is all about. It tasted watery and bland. read more

The place is clean and service is courteous. The pho noodle was not bad, BUT the soup and beef was NOT IMPRESSIVE at all. The beef was chewy and tasteless. They are so rough and just not tender at all. For the price of a $12.50 large bowl, I have higher expectation. Honestly, my Vietnamese friend told me it wasn't good and I insisted trying this new restaurant. I really regret it. For the quality, I would pay $7 to $8 for a large bowl. I've had MUCH BETTER pho at Richmond's Pho So 1. If I have to pay $12 for a pho here, I'd rather drive to Richmond to have it. Sorry Pho 3 Pho, just really not for me. read more

My mom and I went to Pho 3 Pho last night for the first time. We're both Pho lovers and have been to a lot of different pho places and this one was good! I'm glad that Charlottesville has a pho place after one a couple of years ago closed. The menu is simple, and they don't have hot tea but the broth was good and the Pho Ga was delicious. I read some reviews that the broth was bland, but it tasted like a simple and well done chicken broth to me. The summer rolls were probably the highlight with the peanut sauce! My mom and dad are definitely making this their home pho place. read more

Pho 3 Pho - Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

no.5 and no.7 vermichelli was good. last time we had one large size and one medium size pho. But the server brought us two medium size. they changed one to a large size, but they seem to have changed the size of the bowl. (it looked the same.) we started to count every single meat and amount of noodles in the large one. It was all about the same. no more meats in the large size. so, today we got medium size. I don't think there's a difference between medium and large size. just a bowl size..? read more

I was excited to hear about this place, but it was a bit disappointing. I like that they are trying to bring pho to cville, but it didn't feel authentic. The waiter forgot our utensils and we had to remind him of a couple things, but he was quick to respond. The spring rolls were tasty. I got #3, pho with brisket. The noodles and sprouts were good, but I think the broth was lacking in quality. I'm not an expert in how pho is made, but this broth was just missing something. The brisket was fine, if a little fatty. My friend also wished that they had tripe, which is her favorite. Overall, a nice clean place that is good for families and groups, where you can have a decent meal, but just okay pho. read more

Pho 3 Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Considering that this is basically the only pho place in Charlottesville, this place needs to get 5 stars by default because it's the best pho place in town. And pho is wonderful and we need to get more people in C'ville to try it and therefore support more vietnamese restaurants opening! Our family of four made it out for a visit on a rainy fsy and thoroughly enjoyed our pho, pork chop over rice, and spring rolls. Is this place as good as places in LA or NY? No. Is it more expensive? Yes. But it is still delicious and hands down the best in C'ville and ya'll should come out and try it, especially if you haven't had the pleasure of sampling a southeast asian noodle soup before! read more

The Sriracha wings are enough reason to come! The perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Pho and vermicelli noodles were also very good although the noodles could use more meat read more

We love the pho at this restaurant! We have been in the area three years and this is the first time we've found the real deal. The interior of the building leaves a lot to be desired, but the food and service are exceptional. Be sure to try the spring rolls. read more

Awesome service, food came particularly quick. The waiter and waitress were nice, and the food was very good.

Came to pho 3 pho for lunch on a weekend and it was completely empty. It has the atmosphere of a former bar (with so many TV's and huge bar) rather than a Vietnamese restaurant. My fiancé and I both ordered pho. The broth was good, but not great. Charlottesville is lacking in Vietnamese food, and this place satisfied my craving, but was far from the best I've ever had. We also ordered the Vietnamese drip coffee which took so long to prepare that it didn't come out til after we had finished our meals! For $4 they were very underwhelming and the serving was small. Would definitely skip that and stick to the food. read more

Meh. I was so hoping this place would be great. But I think someone said : " let's do a pho place in charlottesville! We'll corner the market! We'll use the cheapest ingredients possible and make a shit ton of profit!... all we need is a catchy name...hmmmmm... I got it! PHO 3 PHO! Get it? These dumb asses will love it!" Interior was fine. Waitress was great. But the pho should be called "faux". It's not real pho broth made from charred bones and all the good spices . It's powdered or bottled broth and standard meats. Noodles were on the skimpy side compared to the meat which some people might like but not us. We ordered the chicken pho and the beef pho, spring rolls and wings. Everything smacked of mediocrity. Not bad, not good. Will do in a pinch if you're stuck in the hell that is between charlottesville and Ruckersville. Skip this place and make your own with a rotisserie chicken, powdered broth and rice noodles. Not goin back. read more

I come here every time I'm in town. Delicious pho and great drinks. The staff are awesome and very nice. Clean place with nice background music. The lemon grass chicken is amazing. read more

This is the only place to get good pho in Charlottesville, so if you like pho (who doesn't?) please support this little restaurant in a charm-free strip mall on 29 North. There is better pho in NoVa and Richmond, but Pho3 Pho is way above the bar for a place I'll return to: excellent broth, full of flavor and not at all greasy, good quality beef ingredients (though none of the more unusual cuts like tripe and tendon that you'd get at a more authentic pho joint), good toppings. The restaurant is immaculately clean, the service was friendly and competent, and the prices are low ($10 for a bowl big enough for a hungry person's dinner). The eight TVs behind the large bar and the somewhat loud music are not to my taste, but the pho is, which is all that matters. read more
