Great fresh spring rolls. Love that they have 3 kinds of hot sauce on the table (wish they also had soy sauce on the table but you can request it). Pho could use some work. Broth is ok (not great - not flavorless), they don't cool their noodles so they are clumpy in the bowl (and I would have preferred thinner noodles) and their rare beef was too thick. Great amount of bean sprouts and herbs though and they had tripe which I like (but not all places have). read more

yalllllll i dont even know what to say... this is an establishment that i take my kids to at least once a month or maybe 1 evey 2 months or so.... story time.... i ordered pho for myself and my 2 boys, along with their grilled tofu as an appetizer (a fave of ours). we ate the tofu, amazing as always. then we start dressing our pho with the veggies and sauces... tell me how my youngest finds a dead fly in his pho. now im not one to cause a fuss... i understand mistakes happen or whatever. i kindly show the fly to the waitress who dead ass asked me if i wanted to replace it, like mam... ofcourse i want to replace the entire bowl seeing though their was an added ingredient that is def not sanitary to have... ok.. cool... they bring out another "fresh" bowl.... tell me how there was another fly inside the meat!!!!! i swear to you i got up... showed another server the other fly we found cuz we put it in a napkin and then showed the new fly that emerged in the replacement to correct their first mistake. how were they not phased by this?!? like barely even apoligetic i guarantee they have to have some type of maggot infestation cuz aint no way!!! if there was a health inspector present i promise you they would close that place down immediately. please beware!! read more

The food is great and they have 3 different sizes for their pho soup bowls. Their boba drinks are really good. read more

Pho 79 - Vietnamese Near Me - Miami, Florida

Our first time in Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale and we were craving Vietnamese food. This restaurant is highly recommended on Reddit but it's pretty disappointing. It's in a little strip mall with plenty of parking and other viet cafes next to it. It's a pretty old viet restaurant, the utensils on the table were not well washed. The service was quick and they were attentive. They pho was okay, not that flavorful. The noodles were not fresh rice noodles. read more

Pho 79 - Pho 26. Tai Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place was so much better than I expected it to be! I have never tried Pho before but this was a great experience. I got the vegetarian pho with vegetables and tofu and it was simply delicious. The veggie broth was yummy and flavorful, adding the hosin sauce and chili sauce only helped it even more. The Thai tea was great and perfectly sweetened. Inside is cozy and great for big groups! I went with 6 of my girlfriends. The service was quick and easy! You pay at the front desk and you're good to go. I really enjoyed this spot and plan to go back here read more

I've been ordering from them for a while. My favorite pho is the tai with the sated lemonade. Yesterday I ordered and they forgot to put meat and include my lemonade, so I was a bit frustrated. Today I tried again with a note mentioning the above and the picture below is worth 1000 words. They're great :) read more

Amazing food and quality service. Went in for a quick meal and ended up ordering a bunch of amazing dishes. Make sure to check out the boba shop next door! read more

Overpriced and not even authentic pho. The noodles were thick and weren't skinny like real pho. It also had a soapy taste to the broth. I tried to give it a chance even though the reviews wasn't great, now I see why but only perk is the music and atmosphere is good but they need to work on their pho. read more

Very smart to have a joint tea place with your next door neighbor. The only place I know nearby which has avocado smoothie with boba specifically. Pho is very sweet rather than salty which I'm more used to, but still, gets the job done to satisfy my cravings. Very very good avocado smoothies. Heads up that you must go up to pay the check, no server will come to pick it up for you. read more

Amazing. We have be3n going to this restaurant for almost 10 years. The pho is real v authentic.

I will never go here again. This was my first time eating pho and immediately after eating it, we were all violently nauseous. One of my friends could not stop throwing up 5 hours later from the pho and winded up taking her to the hospital the next day to only find out she has ecoli. Would not recommend. read more

Great vibe great people. The food was good and they have a large pho! Very big and can feed 2.

Very disappointing experience.. I am proud to self claim as somewhat pro with Phos. Because i absolutely love the pho. I decided to give this place a try since I'm in the area. I ordered a classic, simple beef broth pho with rare steak. The steak cut is so thick I took a bite and had time chewing and eating it... I also ask to make the broth spicy which was already but found out when i come to pay that making the broth spicy will cost you extra.. which was not communicated to me at all. The complementary main leaf and the bean sprouts are sitting outside for so long you could see it's turning black a little bit, so I didn't feel comfortable eating it. The server are few students as which they seem nice but very inexperienced. When I mentioned steak being too thick and broth charged actual was a surprised they didn't know how to react... so I just paid and left knowing I would never come back. I also forgot to mention this is a very overpriced place. A small Pho will cost you $18 $19 if you wanted to make it spicy. which is pretty outrageous. i've been too many great Pho places, nowhere charge price this ridiculous and provide this little food with this type of quality.. read more

As someone who's worked in hospitality for a majority of her life, I was appalled by the service I received tonight. As soon as I sat down, the girl told me that I had to get up and move to another table because a party of nine was coming in soon (not in a polite way at all). They don't take reservations they're a walk in restaurant... at least that's what they advertise it as. I move to another table and as soon as the girl drops off waters to my table she asks if I'm ready to order in a very rude way. I order with her and very specifically tell her I am allergic to seafood so please put in a note for kitchen. Her exact response I'm not even exaggerating was "yeah yeah what size pho?" Like what??????? Instead of reassuring the guest there will be no cross contamination that was what she decided to say instead. I proceed to get my food and as soon as I'm about to take my first bite, I noticed a red flake of crab floating around. After I specifically said I was allergic. I kept trying to get anybody's attention, but all the staff seemed overwhelmed and as soon as I was able to get a hold of the girl who was taking care of me, she didn't really seem to care at all about the cross-contamination when this is very much a HUGE LIABILITY. I asked her to please remove this from the check and she didn't even give me the chance to keep speaking. She just walked away from me. Completely unacceptable and staff FOH and BOH needs serious training regarding allergies. This is not ok. read more

I'm a big pho guy, that's why I when I heard of Pho 79 I had to try it out. The menu is pretty simple to understand, they have various pho dishes with chicken or beef or seafood. They also have boba tea, and rice bowls with chicken or beef or seafood. The rice bowl was delicious. Although, the beef cuts were a bit too big and hard to cut down with chop sticks, it was still flavorful. I ordered the seafood pho which was alright, the broth was delicious and I like how they offer several fixing, but the squid was rubbery and over cooked. I had the beef pho last time and in my opinion it was way better. Overall I really like Pho 79 I just ordered the wrong dish. Next time I'm getting the rice bowl or maybe I'll try the chicken pho. read more

We were craving pho and noticed our favorite pho restaurant had another location near the FIU campus. We decided to give it a shot since we were nearby! I ordered my favorite, seafood pho and my husband ordered number 33 which came with everything including tripe. I also ordered a taro boba smoothie. Both phos were delicious! I think mine could've been a little more loaded up, it was not a much seafood as their sister location. We noticed this location is pretty busy with people constantly going picking up takeout and dining in. This is definitely a good spot to check out if you're in the area! read more

I went here at the shopping at the mall because I've never pho before. I ordered the calamari, pho, mangonada, a bowl, boba smoothie and salt and pepper shrimp. we first ordered the calamari as an appetizer, and when it arrived and looked very good and the breading on it was very good, but the calamari was terrible. It tasted like water, maybe frozen calamari we had to return it because it was not edible. So we decided to get the salt and pepper shrimp. That was our first time ordering the salt and pepper shrimp and oh my God it was delicious that had to be the best shrimp I've ever ate in my life, the seasoning the crunch the crust on it was very good and if I were able to go back, I would definitely get two orders of the shrimp. The mango and it was delicious. I ordered the pho and it was OK. The broth wasn't flavorful. I'm guessing because it was chicken. I've seen people say they ordered the beef broth before but I wanted to try the chicken. My boyfriend ordered some kind of noodles. He said it was decent. read more

$31 for a bowl of Bún Thit nùòng and a drink is ridiculous! I just moved here and since it's hot, wanted a cold dish. I read that Pho 79 was good so gave it a chance. There's no clear direction on if you seat yourself or order up front. I got seated and already knew what I wanted. This dish is a cold rice vermicelli dish with grilled pork, fresh herbs, and veggies. What was served to me was not that! It was steaming hot! There was something off about the sauce as well. What also confused me was they advertised egg rolls so I asked if they had imperial rolls to add which they didn't. The drink, passion fruit lemonade, was also hot. Took awhile to mix and wait for the ice to cool the drink down. I'm confused how this is a vietnamese restaurant when the simplest of dishes is so badly made. Definitely not worth $31. Still blows my mind! And I thought San Francisco was expensive! read more

The food was amazing. We went there looking for a true Vietnamese Pho and it fulfilled every single one of our wishes. We were visiting from El Salvador and had planned this lunch for a long time, to go specifically to this delicious restaurant. Food is great, service is fast, The ambiance is very quiet but invites to speak with your table and makes the experience more enjoyable. Would definitely come back!!! read more

The food is still good but those prices skyrocketed by almost 75% more! Hopefully they will drop again as inflation is slowing.

Like the place, the food was good, and the service was excellent. Will return again my wife was happy.

Great food, great service, generous portions and good prices. It doesn't get any better than this if you like exotic oriental food, this is the place to go. Yummy!! read more

I grew up in Little Saigon in Orlando and this is the closest thing I've found in South Florida. The food is incredibly fresh and well seasoned with all of the classic dishes that make me nostalgic. The service is excellent with the food hitting your table within 10 minutes of ordering (I've been twice during lunch and was impressed with the speed both times). The Viet iced coffee is addictive and their tofu is out of this world. The tofu dishes can be made vegan (no fish sauce). The restaurant itself is very clean, but casual with videos playing on the TV. read more

Basic well cooked Vietnamese food and plentiful for the price. Worthy of another visit or two.

Finally stopped by to try this HOT SPOT that all the FIU students talk about I decided to order the food to GO , since i had a late lunch. But was impressed by how they packed it. Everything was separated into two containers. One for the broth and they other for the protein and noodles While waiting i also order a Lychee thai tea with Boba ... Definitely check out all the available flavors ! read more

The food and service were not too bad. But I want to talk about the tip. When I pay, I chose 15% on the monitor screen. Later what I noticed was they charged 15% of total plus tax, not pre-tax total. "We do not tip on tax." because tax is not a service the restaurant provided. The difference is a small amount, but they should not include tax when calculating tips. Many restaurants in Miami do this trick and this has to be stopped. read more

My order here is pretty basic. I always get the chicken pho and i don't get anything extra on it but i enjoy my meal here every time. The service is pretty fast and the employees are all friendly. I've never had an issue here and the parking is convenient, you don't have to pay and you won't have to walk far either. I went for Valentine's Day and it was pretty packed, the most full I'd ever seen it. I like that they offer boba however I personally like going to the place next door. Overall, it's a pretty causal environment here and I'll continue to come back. read more
