Pho 79 Langhorne, PA Normally, I do not write food reviews. However, after the dinner experience, I was more than pleased to compose my comments and to praise this business. I am not a food writer, but I do write recipes, enjoy food styling, and partake in food photography as a hobby. In late August 2026, my parents, husband, and young daughter drove from New York to Pennsylvania to see Elmo and Friends at Sesame Place. At the end of a busy, full, fun day at the theme park, we were extremely hungry and tired (if you are a parent or caregiver, you can really relate). We did not want to drive far to eateries since it was evening. After eating all the theme park fried foods, my parents wanted authentic Asian cuisine; therefore, we used Google to look up nearby restaurants. Pho 79 appeared first on the list with numerous positive comments applauding their Vietnamese dishes. To our surprise, upon arrival, we discovered that the restaurant is in the Oxford Valley Mall. We were warmly greeted by a young man when we approached the counter. He answered all our menu questions. We ordered several dishes out of hunger; also, many stores and food stalls were cleaning up. We were not ambitious enough to trek around the food court with growling stomachs. While we waited for our dinner, we happily chatted with him about our day and travels. Curious about the restaurant name, I asked about its origin. He gladly shared and (believed to be the owner and operator) kindly explained that 1979 was an important and meaningful year for their family; thus, the business name encompassed that number. And "Pho," of course, means Vietnamese noodle soup; it is traditionally made with delicious meat broth, rice noodles, fragrant herbs, plus full-flavor meats and fresh vegetables. Within a short time, we received our dinner, then sat down at the tables to eat. The dishes are comforting, humble, and 5-star delicious. I ordered the Brisket Pho. It was fortifying and just full of goodness. The only thing left in my bowl was a few pieces of chopped garnish slowly floating above the shallow, flavorful broth. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food in each portion. The Grilled Chicken over Rice dishes are scrumptious and savory. The chicken was not burnt; it was perfectly grilled and tender. Many other Vietnamese restaurants prepare the grilled chicken with lots of grilled, charred marks. I am not a fan of that because of the burnt flavor. The Pho 79 Grilled Chicken dish had a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami flavors that will please your palate and definitely persuade your senses of the genuine Asian flavors. We were given a very generous amount of grilled chicken over fragrant rice! My husband ordered Grilled Shrimp over Vermicelli. The dish had satisfying depths of flavor and a boatload of large, tender shrimp. This is simple food preparation, yet clearly made with care and devotion. Flavors are not overpowering if you are familiar with Vietnamese food; the food flavors are balanced and aromatic. Also, the overall quality and customer service are superb. This is comfort food at its absolute best. Sorry, readers, I forgot to take a cell phone picture of the dinner; we were too hungry, and security started circling us to remind us of the closing time. We were probably the last diners there, but we didn't mind; the food was truly delectable and memorable. It was quite a hilarious moment; my family was wolfing down the food while the ride-on floor scrubber and the janitorial crew were cleaning the floor and tables near us. Then, the ceiling lights at the far end of the mall began to dim. Frankly, this was a glorious meal, and we will be returning customers when we are in Langhorne, PA. Hopefully, not eating when the mall is closing. A gracious thank you to Pho 79 for a fun family moment and for serving us near closing time. Your business deserves high recognition and praise!! We wish you even greater success and business expansion!! The quality and consistency of your food are deserving of Michelin stars!! read more

WATCH OUT FOR FRAUD ON YOUR CREDIT CARD. i bought dinner from them at 4.55pm. My total was $25.48 which included tax. When I paid with my AMEX card it asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I indicated SKIP which was an option. When I got home and looked at my receipt, they had charged me a 50% tip of $12.74. Apparently they have programed their computer to charge a 50% tip whenever you hit skip. Most people do not notice this slight of hand. Don't do business with theives. read more

Pho 79 - Look at the tip of $12.74 when it should have been 0. - Vietnamese Near Me - Langhorne, Pennsylvania

Located in the food court of what's left of Oxford Valley Mall (extinction seems inevitable), Pho 79 is a new Vietnamese soup kitchen way in back. They offer most of the traditional street food found throughout VN, with the exception of Banh Mi. I ordered Steak Pho (small), which came with Thai basil leaves, sprouts, lime wedge and thin jalapeño slices. I also went with an order of Spring Rolls and sweet dipping sauce. The beef soup base was well simmered and had a rich savory flavor. There were 8 thin slices of ribeye cooking in the bowl, and a large nest of rice noodles just beneath the surface. Hoisin and Sriracha were onboard for added sweet and heat. Quite good, but for the aftertaste of MSG from slurping the tasty base. Downside was the cost. $25 for a semi-fast food lunch was not really commensurate with the enjoyability of the meal. 2.5 Phogetable Stars. Unlikely to return. read more

It's pricey for how much pho you get in a medium size bowl for a large order. I ordered the large flank and beef balls pho for $16 whiles my wife ordered a medium flank pho for under $14 and the bowl and portion size literally were the same. In fact, I inhaled mine and then could barely get thru the amount left in her bowl. She never finishes her meals and didn't want it to go to waste but I'd still go back to any good spots in South Philly given I'm equal distance to Langhorne and Washington Ave read more

On the food court scale, it's pho king great. I had the pork chop and rice special. Pork is marinated with a sweet tangy caramelized taste. The salad fresh and the fried egg with it's golden yolk all the gravy you need on that jasmine rice. The chop itself is one of the fattier cuts that most northern suburbanites don't eat, but it chock full of pork fat bliss. If you know, you know. I just say this because some of you will object to the fat content. It comes with two chops, so even if you cut out the fat, you still have a lot of pork meat to enjoy. The vietnamese style ice coffee is a must imo. Theirs is good. Not getting the iced coffee is like going to Wendy's and not getting a Frosty. read more

One of the best Pho place nearby inside the mall. Soup is served very hot, their Viet iced coffee is a must try! Will come back next time!

Pho here is tasty! Didn't need hoisin sauce or sriracha for the soup since it was flavorful. A++ coming back for sure whenever I'm at the mall. read more

Great brisket pho and Vietnamese iced coffee, just like my fav places in south Philly but much closer for me now in the Oxford valley mall

this man saved my marriage with Marty . Very good service. Great food. Gave us free stuff

I'm happy to give pho 79 their first review. We have been living in the area for seven years and keep wondering when we will have a pho place open near by. We saw this while searching Google and was so happy! We finally ordered to go two bowls of pho (brisket and meatballs) and fried rice. I'm happy to said that it's delicious ! Trust me because I'm a viet girl who loves a good bowl of pho lol. I give this place a thumb up. Hopefully, the quality will keep up overtime. Best of luck. read more

went today with my mom and we both love the steak pho! the broth had so many flavor. We also ate chicken steamed dumplings and it was also really good. Everything tasty and fresh! I recommend this place! read more

I was so excited to see that a pho place was opening in this area and it completely lived up to expectations. The pho is authentic and the owner is very kind. I would definitely recommend their bubble tea, because it's not like the ones you find at a traditional boba shop. The one I had had jelly and it make it taste like a different Vietnamese desert that you can't really find around here. I will be coming here often! read more
