I had a noodle craving but wanted something that wouldn't feel too heavy, so I decided to grab some pho. This spot was right around the corner from me, so I figured I'd give it a try. I ordered takeout, but the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and directed to the counter to order. The service was quick--I didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus. I started with the beef skewer, which came with a very small side of salad--just a couple slices of cucumber, some tomatoes, and a bit of lettuce with dressing. It was a nice surprise since I wasn't expecting anything extra, but if you're looking for a real side salad, you might want to order one separately. The beef skewer itself was delicious--tender, easy to bite into, and the slightly charred ends added great flavor. Definitely a solid appetizer or side. For my main, I got the vegetarian pho with extra tofu and no mushrooms, and it really hit the spot. The broth was flavorful and comforting. I added jalapeños and oyster sauce, and honestly, I couldn't eat it fast enough. The noodles and veggies were fresh and satisfying. Overall, a great experience--I'll definitely be back! read more

10/10! Definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for Pho! Everyone around me has the sniffles & I felt the need for some warm & spicy Pho to keep the cold away! I ordered the Chicken Pho lunch size & it was so filling! I had so much to take home! I also ordered the wontons & they were delicious, crispy, & perfectly fried! read more

Loved my pho and the wontons we got! They got my order wrong, but made it right pretty quickly.

Definitely not the best Vietnamese I've been to in VA. The kids grilled chicken was too charred and had too much lemon grass flavor that my child and I didn't enjoy. The chicken pho my mother in law had was really dry and was only able to eat the noodles. My pho dac biet was lacking flavor in the soup. 2 stars for the friendly service. read more

Pho is one of my favorite comfort foods and Pho 79 is always my "go-to" because of their exceptional service and amazing pho. I normally order the Pho Tai which is the noodle soup with rare round steak but I wanted to try something a little different so I ordered the Pho Tai Nam Gua which consists of the noodle soup with rare round steak, brisket and flank! I also ordered the Golden Fried Wontons as well. The wontons came out less than 10 mins after I ordered and were crispy and delicious as always! The server brought the pho out soon after and I always add the garnish of jalapeños, basil, bean sprouts and lime to my pho along with sriracha and a little hoisin sauce because it adds so much extra flavor. The steak, brisket and flank were super tender and the made the pho even more filling and appetizing. I literally ate the whole bowl lol. The service is always wonderful and the food is great. I even ordered a "to-go" order of Golden Fried Wontons because they are just that good. Definitely one of my favorite Pho restaurants in the area. read more

This place is the best. The pho is very good and if you get sides you will like them. The severs are fast and to the point, very polite, if you have a special request they will honor it. I got pho to go the other day and they package it very well and give you a very large portion. They really care how people taste their food and it is consistent and very good every time. I love how they separate all the pho ingredients when it is to go so it doesn't change consistency. Wonderful spot, I'm a regular now. read more

I recently dined at this pho restaurant, and I was impressed by the cozy ambiance, flavorful pho, and friendly service. The prices were reasonable, and I highly recommend trying their special pho variations. I'll definitely be returning. read more

My husband and I had lunch. The Pho' was very good. The serves was good, atmosphere bad hard to enjoy the meal next to us was some very obnoxious young boys and girls who apparently knew the owners. I would not eat there again because the restaurant manager or owner has no respect for their customers. Speak to the manager or owner about their kids read more

Restaurant was fairly empty for Saturday night. Always know when the food is most likely good if fellow Asians are dining in! I wish there were meatballs in the combo pho (pictured). Little pricier than what I'm used to ... possibly inflation or because the space seemed more fancier than the hole in the wall joints I'm used to. Serves small, med, large bowls. Will go back to try grill dishes and bahn mi! Service was great and restaurant was clean. Overall a good place for pho. Military discounts are always a plus! read more

I've been here to get to-go vermicelli bowl and egg roll for couple times and this is my first time dining in cuz I wanted a pho and I hate soggy and soft noodles. I gotta say I definitely like the vermicelli bowls better. I only ordered the one with grilled pork (B3. Bún Heo Nướng) and I like that a lot. The ingredients and noodles are always fresh, and the lemongrass grilled pork are very flavorful and there are good amount of char on them. The fish sauce that comes with it is also flavorful but not too strong. On the pho (Phở Tái, Nạm, Gân: Noodle soup with round steak, brisket and tendon)... the soup is flavorful and has every flavor that is supposedto have in a pho, but the texture of the noodles is not my favorite. I'm not sure how to put it but I can tell from the texture(rough?solid?), the noodles are the dry ones that I can get from the stores. I personally like fresh noodles because they are more tender and the texture is just different. However, I ordered the small size and the portion of my pho is generous. The beef tendon is very soft, but the beef and brisket can but more fatty. I also had the Thai tea and egg roll. Their Thai tea does not taste like a traditional Thai tea but I actually like it. The egg roll is very good because they put wood ear in their meat, which many Vietnamese restaurants won't put in there when they're supposed to. Overall the food is pretty decent, portions are decent, service is alright, I will come back to try many other dishes! read more

Pho 79 Noodles & Grill - Number 6 - Vietnamese Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Delicious. We ordered for pickup last night and got the wontons and some pho. The wontons are not what we expected. We expected them to be puffy and filled with lots of goodies, but ours were flat and you couldn't taste any of the goodies. Def do not recommend those. I got the shrimp pho with beef broth and it was great. I added all my spices and things and got it to my liking. There were plenty of shrimp too. The tails are still on so watch out for that. The serving was enough for me to have two full meals. My bf got the beef one. I think it had meatballs and something else. He enjoyed it and ate the whole thing in one sitting. It was nice for a cold rainy day. We will def be back. read more

Quality of food we have gotten over the years is good, nothing earth shattering but good. We like to dine in because the way the food is already assembled as opposed to take out where you assemble your meal. Now this is just our personal preference because the quality is still the same with both. We have been to a couple of other restaurants where the same type food is amazing so this is why I am giving a 3. It is good and we come once in a while because it is close to our house. Let's talk about the drinks. Boba is not good. I do not like their boba bubbles. I get the strawberry because it is like a smoothie BUT do not get the bubbles. I drink boba teas at a lot of places. Sorry but Pho 79 does not have good boba tea. Service is fine if you know what you want. They are not super chatty and sometimes it is hard to understand them for me. For the most part they are fine. read more

Ordered to go and the wait was forever. I literally watched people walk in, be seated and receive their orders at the table before my order was ready. Food should've been ready in 10 mins. Literally 2 couple sat down and were served before me. read more

I didn't mean to order from Pho 79. I thought I was ordering from my go-to spot, but got tricked by DoorDash (or maybe it was Grubhub? Postmates? I can't keep them all straight.) No worried though, because our pho from Pho 79 was excellent! Like other Pho Delivery places they give you a container of broth and then a plate container for all your noodles, meats, and toppings. I use almost everything they provide and always add an extra order of noodles to stretch the broth into two meals for me. Totally worth the $3. Pho always hits the spot for me. I don't go too crazy with the kinds of meats I order, but my boyfriend gets some of the less-common ones and always enjoys his order. I do like to have sriracha on hand to spice it up some. Even though it wasn't from the place we were expecting, it was just as delicious and we won't hesitate to order from them again. read more

The ambiance/decor is really wonderful with a raised ceiling and paper lanterns hanging. Also had great paintings and a large bar area. Plenty of seating whether it be chairs or booths and they let us choose our table. Our server was right on the ball with taking our orders, bringing our beers and little ones ice cream right away. Our crispy rolls came out very quickly too but not worth the money for only two! The dipping sauce was very salty. Our pho ga came out soon also and just as we ordered with no onions. The chicken was moist and perfectly cooked, bean sprouts, basil and lime plate was also very fresh and broth was tasty! We ordered a small bowl each but you can get an appetizer or large size bowl also. read more

It's starting to get a little colder now and Pho always hits the spot on those days. We decided to go for dinner and there was no wait. I did notice that there was a lot picking up their to go orders. A mask is a must. We ordered our regular pho and they do have a kids menu available for the little ones. It didn't take long for our orders to come out which is great. The flavor was so good. I used the sauces that it came with and extra siracha. Yum! The staff was friendly and attentive. This will be out go to spot for pho since it's close to home. Great spot for Vietnamese food! It's delicious!! read more

This is about my 6th try at a pho place in Virginia since moving over here and while I can admit my expectations for pho may be high, coming from San Diego, this Pho 79 location unfortunately landed a spot at the bottom of my list fairly quickly. Being our first time, we walked in unsure of whether to seat ourselves or to wait to be seated and it took a minute or two before one of the young men behind the counter acknowledged us and welcomed us to a booth. Right away, I noticed the tabletop smelled like it had been wiped down with a dirty rag and when I asked to have the table wiped down again, my suspicions were confirmed at the sight of a brown, mucky rag and the smell of wet dog that lingered on the table for the duration of our meal. We ordered the spring rolls (3.5/5), egg rolls (5/5), chicken pho #10 (2/5) and the #6 pho with rare round steak, brisket & tendon (3/5). The egg rolls weren't too greasy and had plenty of pork in them, a surprising amount actually. Unfortunately, everything else was just so bland...had to double down on the siracha and such to give it more flavor. The search for the best pho in Virginia goes on! read more

I am from CA Westminster area and pho was such a staple in my life, especially once I started earning my own money. As soon as I got close enough to the front doors, I felt like I was back home where traditional pho places were everywhere. Pho 79 has outstanding broth - the woodsy wholesomeness of the clove is perfectly balanced with the umami of the marrows of the meats. Truly an "at home souls food". I'd eat here every day if the budget allowed. Service is perfect for a pho place. 10/10 - impeccable. Easily beats my favorite pho place in CA. read more

I don't know if it was because I ordered around 30 min before close or what but this was the one and only time I was really not happy with my dish. I always get the same thing, and this time they totally skipped the tendon for whatever reason. I also paid for extra raw steak and tripe. The amount I got was basically not worth it. All in all it was as if someone half heartedly threw it together without paying attention to the portion sizes. I wouldn't care but it was about $40.00 and I've been a customer for years and years. I'll still go back, and it's still good (not as good because two things were missing), tonight just bummed me out. I guess don't wait until 8:25-30 to order and you'll be good. (Even when they're super busy it's always consistent). read more

The pho here is good. Not great but good. They only have soy sauce, hoisin, and sriracha on the table as condiments. I usually like to have other options as in salt, pepper, sambal, and fish sauce to add. I ordered the pho #9, spring rolls and hubby ordered the dry noodle dish with lemongrass meat on a stick. The fish sauce that came with the spring rolls was very.. fishy lol. Now dont come for me because I understand that fish sauce is supposed to be fishy but this fish sauce was just a little too fishy. The spring roll itself was delicious. The service was A+. The restaurant is super clean. Even their bathroom is super clean. I enjoyed my food. Definitely will revisit! read more

The food and service is off the hook at Pho 79. It really is "pho king good". We came here 2x with our group of 18 from NYC and both times our server Hen took care of us and she exemplifies what good service is.

Overall good. Three stars because the broth is way too salty, and the shrimp was over cooked & tiny. The portion size for a small bowl is $12, and all broth. Had to ask for a spoon... I ordered soup. I decided to try a new place, and it's a bit of a drive from my house. Most likely won't come back. If you're in the area it's good if you're craving pho, and you're a newbie.

Place look old. Inside smelled like cleaning products. Beef and Chix Pho was good. Service was fast. Vietnamese peeps ate there too

I learned recently that "Pho" is not pronounced with an "oh" but with an "ah." So there's that. Instead o fmy usual Pho Ga (chicken broth with chicken), I opted for the Pho Tai Nam, which is a beef broth with round steak and brisket. Oh, delicious. Rich, meaty broth well loaded with lots of noodles but also lots of think slices of meat. Still served with the same awesome fixings - lime wedge, pepper slices (no thanks!), bean sprouts and fresh basil - I tore 'em up, squeezed 'em and added a good squirt of Sriracha, then lightly mixed and dug in. The small is quite large, especially as a lunch portion. Loaded in beef and noodles and very yummy. And very little of the afternoon carb crash to be had. Spring roll was tasty, but at lunch time, I think it wasn't rolled exactly fresh. Maybe they made a bunch of them. No worries, it was assembled nicely and dipped in peanut sauce well! read more

Got delivery from here. Ordered the summer roll, beef, chicken, and pork rice platter, pho with tendon, brisket, eye round steak, and a pork bahn mi sandwich. Out of everything I tried, the bahn mi and the rice platter were the best! The ingredients are fresh, and well marinated. Definitely would eat here again. The delivery was prompt and polite. They dropped it off at the door. Thank you for the meal! read more
