    Pho 79 DC is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant known for its slow-simmered broths, rice plates, and boba. It is the East Coast outpost of a brand that has grown from a proud, family-owned heritage deeply connected to the 1979 wave of Vietnamese immigrants.History of the Name "Pho 79"The widespread use of "79" in pho restaurant names pays homage to 1979. The number holds profound significance for the Vietnamese diaspora, representing either the year the proprietors immigrated to the United States or a celebrated, pre-war pho restaurant located on 79th Street in Vietnam. In Either case, a lunch justified by good food. As smashimg as a pumpkin sensation in our pop culture of historical events.

    An adult stop for good food. Quite the spring ambiance and beautiful murals on a Spring Mountain kind of day.

    It was our first time at this pho restaurant. It is located in a busy plaza. There is street parking as well. The inside is well decorated with beautiful murals; especially of Washington, DC (guess that's where their name came from) Service was a little slow and they weren't even that busy. The food was decent and good; served its purpose of filling our tummies. Nothing really stood out.

    The quality of the vermicelli is refreshing and flavorful. The Pho was a bit bland with the broth compared to other places I've had Pho but still good! Came near opening time so the ambiance was quiet and peaceful and the atmosphere is so cute with all of the cherry blossom decor! Service was attentive and also took trash out the way! We would most likely return back to this place if we're ever in the area!

    Fantastic portions and fresh herbs on the pho soup. Very cool that they have a location walking distance to the Capitol in Washington DC. Definitely a place I would come back to. Clean looking inside and aesthetic and nice staff.

    Interior: "SO FRESH, SO CLEAN" -OutKast The meat is a bit salty. Overall balanced flavors! Great service. Would come back for the good vibes, but not necessarily the food.

    First time trying this spot and the food was delicious! We go seated right away and our server was very kind and considerate. She even pulled down the shades for us because we were seated in a sunnier spot :D The restaurant beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms and felt very vibrant. My group ordered the #1- Rare Steak Pho and #7 - Rare Steak and Flank Pho! The soup was rich and portions were very filling.

    New Pho ownership and gotta try the broth. Decent Pho broth. Had to add sauces to add more flavor. Normal service. Normal ambiance. Try have the rare steak on the side and dip in broth for medium rare.

    Grilled lemongrass chicken

    The lemongrass grilled chicken was phenomenal. Chicken was crispy , yet juicy and tender. Paris well with the sauce and rice. My husband ordered pho tai which was also so good. Broth was very flavor and food was fresh . Service was great as well, would recommend to others and would definitely be back ! Also the restaurant is very cute.

    Haven't been back in a while decided to stop by. I got the chicken, which was really good. It comes out hot and the broth is really good. Try the mango chicken wings, which is new. Also very good not traditional actually taste like a sports bar wings very crispy kind of like Korean fried chicken actually. Owner is very nice. Give us Vietnamese coffee on the way out.

    My husband and I saw a Facebook posting for Pho 79 DC, with their grand opening on Saturday! Pho 79 DC is located at Spring Mountain and Westwind Road. It's right next to the One Piece Café. There are plenty of parking spots available. We decided to stop in at Pho 79 DC as soon as it opened, around 11:00 A.M. There was only 2 other customers inside the restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful! There are plenty of tables inside the restaurant. It was open seating when we went in. We ended up sitting next to one of the windows at the restaurant. As we sat down, a team member brought over the menus and waters for us. Looking over the menu at Pho 79 DC, the restaurant specializes in Pho, grilled meat vermicelli, chicken, pork chops and much more! I haven't had a Pho in at least 6 months so I just had to order the #18 which was Pho Ga - Chicken. My husband ordered the Pho Chin Gan (Brisket). The team member assisting our table recommended the egg rolls too, so we ended up ordering the eggs rolls as well. While we waited for our meal, we had a chance to look at the restaurant. There is a large painting of Washington D.C. with the Cherry Blossoms. There was also another painting that was cherry blossomed theme as well! It was stunning! We didn't wait long for our order, less than 15 minutes for the Pho and egg rolls. My chicken pho was delicious! There was thinly shaved slices of chicken in the broth! I ended up eating the meat first! At the bottom of the pho was the noodles. I mixed it in the broth and ate most of it! It was quite filling! The egg rolls were outstanding! You could tell that they made them from scratch! The egg roll wrapper that was fried was put together with all of the different ingredients! It was super scrumptious! The restaurant is brand new! The team member assisting our table was friendly! He did mention to us it was his first day working at the restaurant when we asked where we needed to pay. We ended up just going to the register and paying for our meal. I'm sure as the restaurant is open for the next few weeks that some of the service processes will become smoother! We had a wonderful meal at Pho 79 DC.

    So this is my new favorite Pho spot in all of Las Vegas and that is saying something. Unfortunately…read moreI don't have photos because me and my wife ate it so fast we forgot. The special pho was just excellent, and had the right ratio of broth, vegetables and noodles. The flank, and rare steak was incredibly tender, and I could t wait for each next bite. The menu was expansive and had a lots of items to tame even the pickiest eater's appetite. The place was really nice, with a casual setting that had street food vibes paying homage to its home country roots. Very very quick and observant staff, who were always around but not pestering. This place is my new go to spot for Pho and as a very enthusiastic Pho fan, especially here in Las Vegas, that is an incredible spot for one place to take. High marks, and couldn't recommend more.

Despite being there well before closing time, we were denied service. If you want to stop serving customers at 9:30 PM, then your hours should reflect that. Don't advertise that you're open until 10:00 PM if you're going to turn people away 30 minutes earlier. To make matters worse, the lady who answered the door was extremely rude and acted like she couldn't care less about the customers or the business. There was no apology, no explanation, and certainly no effort to be welcoming. We made the trip expecting to dine here based on the posted hours and left feeling frustrated and disrespected. There are plenty of restaurants that honor their business hours and treat customers with basic courtesy. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. I won't be coming back.

And honestly, this place deserves to be up there as one of the top pho spots in Vegas. The broth was rich, flavorful, and had that deep slow-cooked taste you look for in a good bowl of pho. The short ribs were super tender and practically melted in your mouth. You can tell they don't cut corners here. After a long day walking around Vegas, this was the perfect way to end the night with a comforting and satisfying bowl of pho. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving good Vietnamese comfort food.

What is it with places now a days? This broth is ok. Again, where's the flavor? 19$ for this pho. Im in san diego and at pho cow cali, its 12.50$ there's not much meat either, but its there and the broth is above average. It almost seems the more expensive the pho is, the less meat it has and the broth is bland. Service also sucked when i was here months ago. My water never got refilled and for what it looked like inside, youd think there would be stellar service. The paintings on the wall was cool and fun. The furniture is adorable and its spacey inside. The com tham dish we ordered was not charred, not flavorful, and came with a bland nuc cham. I just cant like any viet restaurant that has nuc cham I don't like. This matters a lot to me. Its like me eating korean food at a korean restaurant that had bad kimchi. I won't go to places like that. Ive been trying to go back and write reviews for places I forgot to write one for. Im too lazy to sift through 5k pics on my phone. Lol! Soooo im gonna stop by here in a couple of weeks to eat here again and get a new pic! Lol! Maybe when I come back ill have a better impression!

The last time I was here I got the bun rieu and it was ok, not my favorite version of the dish. I'd stick to the pho which feels like a safer choice here and more in line with what they do best. The space itself is spacious and casual. Back in the day, I would have considered this a solid 'cheap eats' option, but that's no longer the case. Like everywhere else in Vegas, prices feel high for what you get. That said, service was good, the staff was efficient, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it's a reliable choice for quality Vietnamese food that I'll keep in my rotation.
