Omg this pho is so amazing. I always forget about it until/unless I'm feeling under-the-weather. Then I call in and pick it up and wonder why I wait so long in between ordering. Delicious. read more

I had never had Vietnamese food before. We wanted to try something new and based on the reviews we went to try this restaurant. I have to say the soup was some of the best I've ever had. The prices are reasonable the service was good and I would definitely come back again. If you're looking for something that's completely different from the usual fare then you must try this place. This location of Virginia Beach actually has more of an authentic flair then the Greenbrier location. The Greenbrier location has a much more streamlined menu. If you've never had the enemy's food before in your not an adventurous soul, then I would definitely recommend you trying the Greenbrier location 1st . It will have a lot more user friendly foods on the menu. If you are an adventurous soul or as we have found out, you wish to have a more authentic Vietnamese fair, then go to the Virginia Beach location. You will find both offer fresh food that is amazing. read more

While the food was wonderful the service was lacking. The younger of the wait staff was snappy when I tried to clarify my order. Stating he was "right the first time". He actually would have given me two of the number 10 which is not what we were ordering. He continued to act inconvenienced and rude during our visit. Maybe I'll just order takeout since the food was yum. read more

This should be no star. Food is blah and customer services sucks with very limited condiments! Don't ever come! Worst asian restaurant if you can call it that! read more

Great place and my favorite is the #4 and the fresh spring rolls.

This is my favorite PHO restaurant in virginia beach. I've been to a few others but this one tops my list. The restaurant is usually pretty steady with customers but there are always tables available and the service is good. You will be greeted quickly and the food comes out in minutes. I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for food and my husband and I frequent here about once a week. I would definitely recommend PHO 79. read more

Best Pho!!! I've tried most in the area and this is the best one. Even better than the one located on Laskin Rd. The atmosphere is super casual with fast and friendly service. read more

I went here with a friend while visiting VA at their recommendation. Prior to this I had not really tried Vietnamese food, but let me tell you, their food is excellent. I love their spring rolls with shrimp and pork, and the peanut sauce that comes with it is really good. I also tried creating my own soup, as I saw there were lots of choices and I picked the things that seemed good to me. The staff was excellent and friendly, and the service was quick. My only disappointment is that I can't come back, seeing as I live out of state, but next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop by. read more

I had Pho Tai and it was so good. The soup is so delicious. I will coming back real soon

Best Pho I've ever had in terms of amount of meat, freshness, and, of most importance, the rich quality of the broth. Very clean restaurant as well. If you want great pho, you won't be disappointed coming here. read more

Pho is meh. Not very aromatic....lacking on the star anise, cinnamon, and ginger spices. I ordered a "large" bowl for $9.99, and the size was VERY underwhelming. Equivalent to a medium size elsewhere. read more

Great pho, service however is not existent. I hope you don't like it spicy like i do as a refill on your drink isn't coming unless you waive someone down. Come on guys step up your game please. read more

Pho 79 - Number 4 - Vietnamese Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Found a fly in my soup and reported it to the manager only to be ignored of the issue, and then him asking me to pay! Avoid this place unless you want to experience terrible customer service! read more

I ordered to go and waited and waited. Food is okay but not worth the wait! Also the carry out food is in styrofoam containers, not in a bowl so you will have to find a bowl to be able to eat!!! read more

I lived kitty corner across the street from Pho 79 for 3 years without knowing it was a restaurant, but once I found out and tried it, there wasn't a week I missed going there at least once, more often twice. The atmosphere is not great, but the service more than makes up for the ambiance or lack there of. My son prefers the beef soup, I prefer chicken and have been known to hit this place twice in one day if I have a cold. I don't know what people are talking about in comments about unfriendly staff, I have never lacked for a smile from the staff. I moved away from walking distance to this restaurant 5 years ago. I do not drive, so I brave HRT to visit if my son can't take me. We have breakfast there before he takes me to work on Saturdays. read more

The food is alright. Nothing compared to PHO in the Westcoast. SERVICE SUCKS! The waiters will take your order, deliver your food, and never return again. Need a refill? You might as well walk up to the front and refill your drink yourself! They must not care about tips... read more

My daughter and I come here once a week for their delicious pho, and the friendly people! We always get the same thing, which I suppose we will have to change up sometime, but it is so good, we just aren't ready to do that yet. My daughter prefers the more traditional style with meat, but for me, they have a great vegetarian option, loaded with green vegetables, broccoli and mushrooms, with a broth that is just what the doctor ordered if I have a cold especially-or any other time! A pot of hot tea, maybe some eggrolls and I'm all set. Informal setting, with a very friendly staff, and very, very reasonable prices. We'll keep coming back. read more

My previous experience at Pho 79 was pretty mediocre. My recent experience was mediocre as well, except this time I ordered #23, the meatball soup. The server even made a face when I selected this one. The meatballs came out cut into 4 pieces. They were THE most processed looking meatballs I have ever seen. They were chewy and flavorless. I offered them up to my friend. My friend declined because "they look funny". This is very true. they look processed, fatty, gristly, and cartilaginous. I didn't mind this place before but after this I wouldn't want to return. I should have returned my food but I try to never do that (why? I don't know). I'm disappointed because this location is super close to home. I am a huge fan of the Pho 79 at Hilltop near Trader Joes. If you have the option, choose the other location. Everything about the other location is better. I have it two stars because not everything is terrible, however, the meatballs are repulsive. I wouldn't feed them to a dog. read more

Pho 79 is our usual pit stop after church. It's a great family establishment. The owners and servers are very friendly and welcoming. However, the service they provide could use a bit of improvement as they never refill drinks promptly. I've observed other guests, including myself--having to come up to the front counter to ask for a refill. The cleanliness of the restaurant could also use a bit of improvement. They don't do frequent table checks to see if your food is set at the correct temperature or if you would like to add anything to your order. People would catch the bussers to send a message to their server. Their menu isn't the most accurate. The prices vary and are not updated. At times when my party wants to order dessert, we are told that they are out of dessert. They say that every time we go there, so I wonder if they even serve dessert? Other than that, the food is great and the menu pricing is set reasonably!! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, but if they want a place with excellent and prompt service--they may want to try something else. read more

After visiting the hilltop location I have to review this location to give its appropriate kudos. The hilltop locations pho is sewer water compared to this place. Best pho ever! read more

Got take out. The place was empty. Found hair in my food and they forgot the hoison and siracha which is kind of important. Atleast to me. I called and was told they would refund me when a manager came in. But they didn't. read more

A no frills establishment with generous portions of authentic Vietnamese Cuisine. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We were passing through the area and I needed my "v" fix. read more

Always a great go to for the best Pho I've ever had. Can't go wrong no matter what, and they always serve delicious pho, whether it's to go or to eat in. If you haven't tried it yet, you need too!! read more

My husband and I were really pleased with the service, the food, and the boba. The waiter greeted us right away and we had our drinks and appetizer within a few minutes. Our food didn't take too long either (we got a sandwich and a vermicelli dish) and they were both delicious. Will be coming back again! read more

Took 15 minutes for my food to come out. Usually takes less than 2. Noodles soaked up all the soup, and the soup that was left was cold. Worst pho experience I have ever had in my life. Asked for extra onion. They said I can't have any. My mother in law ordered an egg roll appetizer, it was never delivered to the table and they tried to charge us for it saying we ate it already. read more

Pho here is awesome. They firebomb your water glass with vigor but the wait staff could help with menu tips a little bit more. Love this place and would eat here over and over. read more

Favorite places. Love pho for the winter and rainy days. Always good and fresh. Favorite location.

First time having Pho (I know, I know, have I been living under a rock?!). I don't have anything to compare it to, but I've been sick and coworkers suggested we get Pho. I got a large which was only like a 1$ more than a small and it was huge. It was hot and delicious! Made me instantly feel better and it was very comforting. I got Thai iced coffee and this is the first time I got it filtered/prepared at the table and then poured over ice. The inside is very casual and nothing fancy, but service was good and food was delicious. Pho is my new comfort food. read more

We came from Connecticut, via Route 113 the Chesaspeake Bay Tunnel. This was a convenient stop for lunch before heading over to the beach. The restaurant is certainly better than the usual hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurants we knew in Hartford, Connecticut. The food is comparable. Prices reasonable. I would recommend it. Don't be deterred by local reviews if you are an out-of-town Vietnamese looking for a bowl of pho. read more

I go every month. I go to eat. I eat Pho like there's no tomorrow. It's that good. Try it before you judge the little hole in the wall!

Terrible customer service. The waiter responded rudely when asked a simple "yes" or "no" question about the menu. He went on a rant and gave his opinion about other local Vietnamese restaurants without anyone at our table even asking and spoke negatively of them. Pho broth was salty. read more

Worst service I've ever experienced. Besides the fact that our waiter never came back to check on us or refill our drinks until we flagged him down to get the check, more off putting was how rude the waiter was. I asked if they served beer like the one in Hilltop and my waiter said it was a bit early to be drinking I said if you were selling beer you wouldn't be saying that. He sternly said yes I would, then told me that he tells his brother the same thing when he starts drinking at 9 am. Well it was 130 in the afternoon on my day off, ( I'm a professional server) and I'm not your f@#$*ng brother dude. I did not want to tip him but my boyfriend did anyways. Food was good. We'll never be back. read more

The staff was friendly and the soup was yummy! I got beef pho & my boyfriend got chicken. We got take out, though, so I can't comment on anything else. read more

Food is great but the older gentleman with no hair that serves the food is mean...BEWARE

Always quick service and the food is always good. This location tastes better than the other ones. I usually order the pho ga when I go in the winter and it leaves me warm and full. Everytime I go I bring someone new so they can experience something better than their usual fast food read more

Customer service here SUCKS! I went there was not offer a drink. The waiter pretty much threw the food on the table and walk away. I love going out to eat and enjoy different places and different dish and i love Pho. Coming from a big city where I'm bless with different culture and dishes. This is by far the wost service i ever had. From big chain restaurants to small mom and pop. Worst by far. Would no spend a penny there every again. read more

I'm from San Jose, so once in a while I miss viet. food. The food was great! The older staff may sound rude, but it is more of the viet. language. Makes them sound fustrated, but they have good intention when you can understadn them. If I would mark them off for anything they didn't have my favorite drink. cafe xui hot ga. read more

I ate here for the first time and it was great. The service was good and the food was great. My kids are picky eaters but they loved it. Very clean location. read more

This place is terrible. First off, our waiter was super rude and kept asking impatiently "are you ready?" literally every minute even though we were obviously looking at our menus and there were maybe two other tables in the whole place. My friend and I ordered some of the spring rolls and the shrimp still had their intestines in them...The food was grisly and poorly seasoned, with peaces of fat and tendon on all the meat. Our waiter never checked on us once, not to refill drinks or anything. He also smiled at the table behind us and checked up on them, so maybe he just had a vendetta against me and my friend. I would not go back there again. read more
