    All around good place for Pho and spring rolls. Their noodle and rice dishes are also good! Service is excellent- they are quick to seat patrons, take orders and serve your food. Lots of choices for just about everyone and good served at the correct temperature. Spring rolls we love especially the shrimp and avocado! The pho soup is delicious with lots of veggie & protein selections. Good central location with lots of parking

    Pho 33 and Bun Bo Hue
    Lieu N.

    Was craving pho badly so we stopped by this lil hole in the wall and it was great! Ordered the medium-sized oxtail pho and a bun bo Hue. Really liked how they packed the bowls with meats and had all the toppings. Bun bo Hue lacked the spice that usually accompanies it and had a similar base to the pho, but the pho was good. This will be my go-to when I'm missing home

    My daughter wanted one last meal here for dinner before she heads back home to Boise this weekend. Of course I was going to give her what she wanted but our last visit wasn't the best. Lack of noodles in my pho. The seafood pho my daughter got was ok and also lacked noodles. We came around 5:30 tonight and it was hella busy. We waited for about 5 minutes for a table and got sat pretty quickly. My daughter knew what she wanted. She got the fish sauce chicken wing dinner. I got the vegetarian pan fried noodles with extra gravy. We hung out while food was being prepared. It did come out pretty fast considering how busy it was. My dish came out first. I was surprised my veggies came out in a huge bowl! But I realized I asked for extra gravy and they delivered. My daughter's chicken wings came out shortly after and they smelled so good! I dished up my veggies on top of my noodles. It looked perfect! It had big chunks of tofu. My veggies were vibrant and fresh. I had plenty of sauce to make sure my noodles softened up nicely. My daughter's chicken wings were hearty! Those were not wings, them drums were drumsticks. They were all nicely coated in the fish sauce. My veggies were so fresh. The tofu was soft. My favorite part was the noodles that soaked up all that sauce! I added a little soy and Sriracha! Each bite was so good. My daughter smashed out about 4 wings. I was supposed to try one but I for full from my noodles. This meal was a complete 180 from our last. We got so much food! I'm happy to know my daughter got to try the wings tonight. I know it was something she wanted to have before heading home. We don't have this dish at our local pho joints back home. I will be sending her home happy.

    I crave Pho 33 as the weather starts to turn cold. They have so many varieties of pho and ramen--from meat-filled to vegetarian and vegan options! Everything I've tried here is delightful! My go-to is a medium ramen with chicken broth, ramen noodles, and wantons. You can mix and match other options to fit your dietary needs. The ambiance and service is lacking, though. The ambiance almost feels like a cafeteria even though this place is not self-serve. The employees are kind. However, our water sat empty for a while, but the employees work as a team, so they do not seem to have just one section to manage. You will need to grab your own to-go containers for any leftovers. The containers are located under the TV on a table to grab for yourself. We also had to go up to the counter to pay as our check was never brought out (I still don't know if that's normal or if the service was just slow).

    Visited Pho33 for the first time and it instantly became my favorite pho spot in Utah. I ordered the large Pho 33 ($14.50 + $3.50), and it was incredible. The portions were very generous--definitely enough to satisfy a big appetite or share. The broth was rich and flavorful. Pho 33 comes loaded with rare beef, brisket, fat brisket, shank, flank, tendon, meatballs, tripe, and oxtail. It's a beef lover's dream and every bite had something different to enjoy. The variety of textures and flavors made the bowl feel extra hearty and satisfying. The oxtail was the highlight: tender, meaty, and packed with flavor. The restaurant itself is spacious. I was seated quickly and my order came out fast, which is always a plus when you're hungry. The service was efficient and smooth. You will need to pay at the counter, which I actually preferred instead of having to wait for the server to come to you. For the quality and portion size, the price felt very fair--especially compared to other pho places I've tried. I'll definitely be returning. Can't wait to try more from the menu.

    Seafood Lomein.
    Wallace W.

    Today I decided to veer away from my Vietnamese menu standards at Pho 33 and I ordered their seafood Lomein noodle dish. It had plenty of seafood in it, including scallops, mussels, shrimp and squid, and the flavors were good if not exceptional. The noodles themselves were not up to my expectation and were an overcooked, soggy, scrambled mess. They were supposed to be pan fried but weren't. I also wasn't a fan of the carrots, cauliflower and broccoli which didn't really line up with the flavor profile of this dish. Next time, I'll stick to what this place is good at, Vietnamese food.

    Tried the brisket pho this time! Everything tasted great! This is the only spot in salt lake that I go to for pho!

    Not sure why it's taken me this long to write a review, but Pho 33 is one of my stables. I come here at least once or twice a month to indulge in the bun bo hue. It feels like home every time I take the first sip. The food is so affordable and service is attentive and fast. This is easily in my top 5 for best restaurants in SLC.

    Rare beef pho
    Nikki G.

    Hands down the best pho in SLC! Came in on a busy Saturday night and was seated after waiting 5-10 mins. The rare beef pho is *chef's kiss*!! Quick service, consistently good, and generous portions.

    Very legitimate Vietnamese restaurant. The pho is amazing, pick your broth, pick your protein, pick your noodles... and they bring it all to you with a smile! Who knew that my search for a great bowl of pho in Omaha, would take me to Salt Lake City!! Great service, great food, nice little place!

    Went for pho here because my good friend was craving it. Put our name on the wait list and was hanging out in the waiting area and looky what we saw crawling on their south window, a damn cockroach. We bailed and probably will never be coming back here again.

    Bun Bo hue with Pho Noodles

    Delicious Vietnamese food in Salt Lake City! Pho 33 is a very standard, no frills Viet restaurant. You're quickly ushered into one of the many booths or tables and given a menu to look at. They have all the classic options you'd expect - pho with various toppings, egg rolls, banh mi, etc. I was personally a big fan of their pork banh mi, which had really fresh bread and a generous serving of pork. Their Thai Tea was also quite refreshing, it was perfectly not too sweet. One thing to note is that I ordered the Pho 33 (with Ox Tail) and got very small pieces of ox tail, mostly bone, while my friend got two large sections of meaty ox tail. So the consistency might be a bit off here, but it's hard to be sure without coming back multiple times.

    I'm severely allergic to nuts, is it safe for me to eat here?

    Yes but do NOT order the sauces that come with the appetizers. Kindly remind the waiters that you cannot have anything that touches the sauces.

Sometimes I eat here two days in a row because it's just that good. The restaurant recently opened their doors to all ages which is a huge plus. But kids can only eat inside the restaurant (patio seating is 21+). Today, my family had the "DK Experience" which is a six course meal that feeds 4-6 people. It was PLENTY of food and everything was delicious. You do not need to order anything extra because it is a good amount of food. The best part is the duck - so flavorful and beautifully cooked. We spent about 2 hours here as each course is made to order, so be aware of that if you're also ordering the DK Experience. My favorite dish here is the Three cup chicken. The flavor has so much depth and is beautiful seasoned. Be sure to visit during their lunch happy hour for the best deals in town.

I told her it was my first visit so she reviewed the menu and gave me a few recommendations. Unfortunately the experience went downhill from here. I was dining with a friend for an early lunch. We ordered the pork pot stickers to share. Then we also ordered sticky ribs, chicken sando and egg drop soup. The server took our order and returned promptly with our drinks. After some time passed the server returned to inform us the ribs were sold out and provided us with a menu to look at other options. A little more time passed and then more bad news the egg drop soup was also out of stock. We declined on ordering anything else and I asked if my chicken sando was still coming and was told yes it's on it's way. Meanwhile we watched three other tables arrive and place orders and even receive their food and yet my chicken sando was still missing. I flagged down our server and again was told my chicken was coming. Another 15 minutes passed and still not sandwich. I politely flagged down our server and requested the check as our lunch experience had gone on for over an hour now and still our food was incomplete. We got an apology and the bill and began to exit. As we were leaving the server arrived at our table with a takeout bag with my chicken sando. I'm not sure what was happening on this visit but something felt very off at the Drunken Kitchen. First impressions are very important especially in a dining experience and this first impression was not good at all.

The food also comes out pretty quickly, which is always a plus. There were a couple of frustrations with this visit, though. They had flyers on the tables advertising their new Dino Ramen, and the flyer stated that you could get free ice cream with any Dino Ramen OR any other bowl of ramen. When we went to get the free ice cream, we were told the offer was only valid with the Dino Ramen and that the "any bowl of ramen" offer was only available at their other location. That was pretty confusing considering the flyer was sitting right on our table at this location. If the promotion is different depending on the location, they really need to make that clear on the flyer or not have those flyers out. Service was okay. The food came out quickly, but there wasn't much checking in afterward. We had to go out of our way to ask for things like refills or anything else we needed. Despite those issues, I really enjoy the ramen here, especially the Spicy Tonkotsu and hand pulled noodles, so I'll keep coming back. I just hope they improve the communication around their promotions and become a little more attentive with service.

    Disappointing Experience - Food Quality & Service…read more I've been to Mi La Cai Noodle House before, but unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. I ordered the wonton soup, and the pork wontons did not taste right to me. I let the gentleman who was helping us know about the issue, and he told me, "Let me see with my manager what I can do for you." To be clear, I wasn't asking them to take the soup off my bill or give me anything for free. I simply wanted to see if they could provide a little more meat so I could finish my bowl. I thought that was a reasonable request, especially since I had already explained that the pork wontons didn't taste right. Unfortunately, the gentleman never came back to our table, and the manager never stopped by or spoke with us at all. We ended up paying the full bill, and no one even apologized or offered any kind of resolution. When the host later asked how everything was, I explained that the wonton soup wasn't as good as I expected. She simply said, "Oh, sorry." While I understand that mistakes happen, it felt like a very dismissive response, especially after we had already brought the issue to their attention. I honestly feel like the food quality at this restaurant has gone downhill. What disappointed me even more was the lack of customer service and follow-through. If a customer takes the time to politely bring up an issue, I would expect someone from management to at least come to the table and address it. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be coming back. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously because I used to have a much better impression of the food and service.
