the interior of a restaurant
Rayne W.

Rainy day deserves some hot pho! Pho 79 conveniently located in New Town with a spacious location. Customer service is a little slow and the portion size small for the price. A little disturbed that a customer thought I worked here because I was waiting for my check and writing this review lol However, the higher rent and labor cost probably contributes to the higher food cost. Broth has a rich flavor and soup dumping in my pho has a savory taste. Friendly service from the waiter that's worked here for over four years.

Not keeping regular business hours. Closed at 7:15 when hours posted 8pm.

Came at 7:15 on Saturday night and was kicked out because they were closed. They said that ran out of food.

This is my third time back (second was take-out) and still a very good meal! The chicken pho was delicious as usual, the spring rolls were very good, and my husband tried the three grilled meat skewers (pork, beef and chicken) and the meat was nice and tender! Nice service!

Was in the area and pressed for time, so pho is quick, right? First they were out of broth for my order, bun bo hue, so settled for basic pho tai. Wife had the wonton soup. Both were okay - took @ 10 minutes to serve, and flavor was flat and salty...hinted at base being used. Place was clean, but meal ...meh.

Wonton Pho
Cherie O.

Salty Wonton Pho that I had to fix with Hossein sauce and Sriracha but still couldn't get over the brine. It overpowered my Pho. Hubby got the Pho Tai but it was salty as well so we suspect the broths got started with a base which is then heavily handed with more salt so impossible for anyone to appreciate the Pho flavor. So sad since we had been at this place over a year ago and it has changed for the worse.

Came here for lunch during our Historical Triangle trip. We were craving something warm and this was perfect. Wa surprised at how delicious the pho was. Broth was flavorful, generous amount of meat, reasonably priced for the area. Was so happy we came here!

Jasmine rice,  veggies, and 3 skewers of grilled pork, chicken, and beef. Sooooo yummy!

This was our 1st time here. We wanted to try the grilled Vietnamese meats. It was really good! I liked that 3 different meats were offered. At first glance, the price seemed kind of high. However, when the food arrived, it was ample enough. Awesome 1st experience on this beautiful fall day!!

Bahn Mi Sandwich
Casey C.

Amazing food and even better service!! My server was Kenzie and she was absolutely perfect! Attentive, but not overbearing; sweet and genuine. And the food was delicious. My good friend is Vietnamese and Pho 79's egg rolls taste just like hers! So, authentic I got the vermicelli bowl and the meat was so flavorful & juicy. Do yourself a favor and come eat here!! (I've also had the Bahn Mi sandwich. Very good)

Vegetarian Pho - large
Annabelle L.

Came here while on vacation because of craving some Vietnamese food. First off, it was a bit difficult finding the location and the restaurant sign it diagonally and the door is at the corner of the street. Second, upon entering, we were greeted and told to pick our seats anywhere we'd like to sit. The waiter walked over to our table and provided us the menu. Few minutes later, we placed our orders. I have the vegetarian pho. I contemplated on order size small or large. My hubby convinced me to order the large and he can finish whatever I don't want to eat. My pho order came in reasonable amount of time. The first thing I noticed is all the veggies floating. There was definitely lots of broth in my bowl, however, once I begin stirring the noodles, I realized the bowl is just full of broth and very minimal of noodles. I was a bit disappointed. I've gone through many Vietnamese restaurants and have had a fair share of ordering pho. The amount of pho noodles here is similar to other small bowls at many places I've been to. The veggies were okay/decent amount. The broth is okay, not the very best I've had but not bad either. Overall, I'd like to give them more than 3 stars but just can't justify it with the mediocre food. Service is good though. Parking is off street and can be a bit challenging.

Still has vines.

Sophia and I ate lunch here last Saturday which was really nice weather. This was our 3rd time at…read moreSouper Pho and Banh Mi. The previous two times were perfect with apps and meals we've ordered. Even a co-worker of mine has been here and became a fan. Would the third time be icing on the cake for us? For this visit, we actually saw more people dining in with some ordering takeout. Not a bad deal on a nice Saturday afternoon. Staff was pretty busy around the restaurant keeping everyone happy. We were seated very quickly and ordered after a few minutes. For my meal, I ordered Cơm Thịt Gà Nướng (grilled lemongrass chicken) and a beverage of fresh squeezed sugar cane. The drink itself was really good. It wasn't too sweet and is actually good for you. Sophia drunk some and said the next time we come by, she'll order it. Great stuff indeed. The meal was very good as well. The chicken was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of veggies to go around. We got full halfway that we took it home where both still tasted great. Thanks again to Souper Pho and Banh Mi for this joyous occasion. We'll continue to be patrons the next time we're in the area :)

Came into Souper with a couple of friends to have dinner and decided to order the bánh xèo - I'm so…read moreglad I did! It arrived fresh and piping hot, with a beautifully crisp exterior that immediately told me it was made to order. The batter had that classic bánh xèo texture - thin but sturdy, with just the right amount of crunch without being greasy. Each bite had a satisfying contrast between the crisp shell and the warm filling inside. The plate came with a generous assortment of fresh greens, which added a nice brightness and balance to the dish. Everything tasted clean and well-prepared, and the greens paired especially well with the nước mắm dipping sauce, which was flavorful without being overly salty or overpowering. It had that familiar savory-sweet-tangy balance that really ties the whole dish together and makes you keep going back for another bite. What really elevated the experience, though, was the customer service. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it genuinely felt like he was happy to have customers there enjoying the food. He even took the time to show off some of the restaurant's awards, which honestly just reinforced the feeling that this place knows exactly what it's doing! You can tell there's a lot of pride behind both the food and the space. The atmosphere itself was relaxed and comfortable, making it an easy spot to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Overall, this was a really solid experience from start to finish - good food, thoughtfully prepared, and paired with warm, genuine hospitality. Would absolutely recommend stopping by if you're in the area, and I'd definitely come back again to try more items on the menu!

The menu is loaded with many Vietnamese delights, but I was only there for Pho, so I asked what broths they make and was surprised to learn they make beef, chicken, and vegetable broths for their Pho! Many places I visit only seem to make a beef, so I was happy to be able to enjoy chicken broth with my Phở gà. I told him to pack the order securely as I had a long drive home, but that clearly didn't happen. I didn't wait long for my order, maybe 10 minutes total and when I got it, it was in a tied plastic bag, which I carried out. I felt heat on the bottom and thought maybe one of the lids leaked, so when I looked at the lids, they were very poorly secured, which is an issue. They bought terrible, cheap, low-grade quart containers, which barely hold the lid. So I seatbelted the bag in my front seat and made it home fine. But when unpacking at home, I noticed the large round containers they put the main food in had lids that was sitting on top of the base, but didn't lock on at all - Again, cheap containers. They also had a nice assortment of accoutrement in that container, but everything was mixed together, both the cold and the hot - this is NOT appropriate. You should never pack cold and hot things in a single vessel when food is "to go." Even still, we separated everything and when it came time to eat, the noodles were so soft, they were melting. The broth was on the bland side, so I found myself adding Sriracha and salt for the first time ever to my Pho broth. The veggies were fresh though. The chicken looked and tasted good, but there were several odd, dark pieces in it that wasn't appetizing to come across. Overall - I really wanted to love this experience, especially since the smell inside that restaurant was great, but I feel it was slightly less than was it should have been. I'd say this was a 3.5 star visit, but will rate on the hi-end at 4 stars. Would I return? Not for Pho.

Seriously... so good. We were greeted by a super kind and friendly woman who sat us immediately in a booth. Lots of tables were seated and many empty with dishes which was a sign for us that this place must be popular. No worries, they were quickly cleaned by another super kind employee. Just a terrific atmosphere. Ordered egg rolls and wontons for apps. Both delicious. Ordered the #10 and the #12 Pho. Absolutely amazing! Came with all the sides and just had a fantastic flavor! Would come back again and again. Get here! Support a local business that is offering fabulous food with just amazing service. You will be shocked at the value you get for the price! Super affordable. Just delightful!!

I wont be able to rate the facility based on their foodd their service is too slow for me to wait…read morefor them to even seat me. Walked in.. saw 1 server/host. Very slow. We waited. After about 5 minutes he walks over and instead of asking us first who was walking he somehow decides to ask another party who just walked in to seat them first. Okay understandable? I think Sat down.. waited over 5 minutes. No menu no nothing. Server walking around to other table to take their order. The facility is WAY to big to have only 1 old man serving and hosting at the same time. Especially on a weekend. Not worth the wait and once i saw there was literally 4 tables who just had menus on their tables waiting to order.. i knew i had to get out before i realize that i waited over 40minutes to order. So i left right away. I may try them one day but definitely not worth dining at a place that cant spend money on waiters for their restaurant on a weekend.
