I was visiting Rockford for business. This Pho restaurant was a welcome change from the usual chain restaurants. I ordered the Pho 815 special. The taste was on point, I added some jalapeño and chili paste for some heat, but the broth was good on its own. Plenty of noodles and nice cuts of beef. I also had the Thai tea, which was good and not overly sweet. read more

Friendly service and got some background on Vietnamese food. A little pricey for the food we got. Would come back.

I love pho ( pronounced fuh ) 815 this Vietnamese soup is so underrated it's crazy! The flavors knock me out and all the add-ins just heighten the experience. If you like Chinese soups try pho 815, you'll probably stop having Chinese soup and have a delicious Pho instead. read more

Very good, very fresh, well-presented food. This was my first visit, and I will definitely be going back. We ordered the spring rolls, crab rangoon, and fried rice. All of the food was very tasty with very fresh ingredients and plenty of ingredients. My 9-year old son even LOVED the fried rice (and he's REALLY picky). You definitely should try this place. read more

Low review only because there's little available for a vegetarian or vegan to eat here besides really tasty spring rolls, made without the meat. Great service for it being an opening day, and I'll assume the menu items I cannot eat are probably par for the course at their worst. I hope they add a few things for those of us who don't eat meat bit want something similar to authentic... read more

I like that it's modern and the staff was friendly...Took awhile to be seated and to get our food but that's understandable because it was their opening today. As for the food it was good. I got wings for my appetizer and (R2)for my main dish which is grilled sliced pork tenderloin with white rice. Ill definitely be going back to try their pho when it isn't so pack and warm inside. No doubt this 3 star will be bumped up after my next visits read more

I have been looking for a good Pho restaurant in the area and this place does not disappoint. I'm from California so I've been looking some good Asian food and building my collection of different Asian restaurants; this will definitely be my go to Pho restaurant in the future. I know there were some negative reviews about service and such, I can not speak on that because I had my food to-go. The food was authentic and really good. I ordered the pho #3, spring rolls, and thai tea. Everything was up to standard for a good pho restaurant, the noodles were done well (not too tough and brittle and not too mushy) and the broth was delicious. The Thai tea was on point, not too bitter, sweet, milky, or watery. I will 100% be coming back here again and would recommend this place to anyone craving pho or wants to try it for the first time. read more

These guys are the best, great service...great quality, great environment! I eat there at least once a week!

A quick rundown: decent pho, good crab rangoon, but service is consistently lacking. We've been here several times since the location is super convenient, but service has consistently held it back. Pho wise, the broth is very good and the trimming options are solid, but in my opinion, it's overall flavor is middle of the pack as far as options in the area. Prices are higher than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but that's likely due to the location. Interior of restaurant is clean and well kept. read more

Friendly staff and great pho. Also had some spring rolls and they were so tasty. Recommend if in the area.

Service is bad. Asked if they have their noodles dry with sauce over it like other Vietnamese place instead of their broth, the girl who is non Asian kept arguing and said all the noodles are cooked! Of course they are cooked! Portions small, weak broth, grilled pork chop is very tasty but more rice than meat. Have the pho to go and disgusted to find raw meat and noodles sent home with broth pack separately. Other better options nearby, will not go back again. Have the menu with coupons, but told I am not able to use the coupon until Next visit. Bad attitude on the girl, might have been business if she is gone and replaced with someone with better customer service and understand Asian food read more

This place is very clean, very friendly staff, and might be the best flavored pho broth that I've ever had. I travel for work and have been everywhere eating pho and fresh spring rolls. Pho 815 is a tie for the best, with a place in Nashville. Very impressed! AMD if you've read previous reviews of here, that said bland taste....those people have NO idea what good pho is. This is a must try if looking for pho in Rockford read more

Stopped in for dinner while driving between Chicago and Madison. Food was surprisingly (not sure why I'm surprised but i am) very good. I had the special bahn mi and my wife had the chicken pho. We shared the spring rolls. All was very tasty and the sandwich in particular was very good. Would highly recommend if you're hungry in Rockford! read more

Saw this place cruising east on State Street, decided to stop and try. Glad I did. The banh mi dac biet is outstanding. The bread is key to a good banh mi, and this place has perhaps the best I've had in a long time. Crunchy, light. Yum. The egg rolls are authentic, rich in fish sauce flavor. Great food here, will return. read more

Another good place for Pho and Vietnamese food. I was very pleased with the service, quality of food and being able to order a variety of food. The pho I had was on point and was larger than I expected. Was able to get extra meets added and the Vietnamese sandwich was legit. I would have to say this restaurant with the quality of food is probably in my top 5 places for pho. I travel all over the US so I do get to try a large variety of restaurants. Again the food, service, portion size quality and quantity were great. I will visit and be eating here again. read more

I cannot get enough of Pho 815!!! I nearly eat here every week! Their Pho is the best Rockford has to offer! I doubt there is better Pho anywhere in Illinois! Their service is friendly and the food tasty and amazing! Their portions are generous and the food quality is fresh! They deliver and you can call in advance and pickup your order This is a place you WILL want to eat at over and over again! read more

Pho 815 is a up and coming restaurant that I enjoyed a few weeks ago! The pho & egg rolls are great! I would say that if they could expand their menu, it would benefit them greatly. read more

The food was decent. The low rating is due to the price. One bowl of stew, one order of shrimp rolls and water- $23.00 before tip!

Fantastic pho. Great to see tendon and tripe along with actual thin cut rare beef flank. The broth is flavorful and beefy. Better than the other places here. read more

Pho 815 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

My family and I stopped in on our way home for lunch, and honestly was surprised to find a decent Vietnamese place in Rockford open on a Monday, which is a rare find. My husband had pho, and my daughter was able to get a kids size pho, which was a pleasant surprise since normally you don't find kids sizes on Vietnamese menu's that often. I had a banh mi, and it was so delicious. My daughter also had a Taro smoothie, which was perfect. We also shared shrimp rolls, which were really delicious. My husband and daughter were raving on how good the pho was that they mentioned it to the host, and he was very excited to tell us that they prepare the pho broth from scratch the night before. My husband being Vietnamese himself could tell right away that the pho broth was authentic, and not made from canned broth. Price wise, this location was very reasonable compared to family owned Vietnamese locations that are in Chicago. I recommend not believing those reviews saying this location is expensive, cause it was not at all. The host provided really excellent service and exactly what I excepted from a family owned Vietnamese restaurant, which is come in and take a seat wherever you like. My whole family made sure to mention to the host that we consider the location our top 5, and most definitely will keep it as our go-to place to stop to eat whenever we head to Wisconsin. read more

Spur of the moment stop at Pho 815 with some friends. They ordered an array of food, including a Pho Bowl, wings, egg rolls, and a variety plate of sausage, an egg and I couldn't really tell you what else. The Pho was big enough for 3 of us to share and was warm and tasty. They served it with a plate of bean sprouts, mint, jalapeños and limes. The wings were maybe teriyaki coated and were good as well. My favorite were the egg rolls which came as 4 in an order with a sweet thin sauce and they skins were thin and crispy, more like lumpia. They were very good! It's definitely worth a visit! read more

Simple, flavorful, delicious! We tried 2 different Bahn-mi and both were great! I'd go back!

This is probably the closest we have found to the Southern California taste of authentic Vietnamese pho. This is one of two that we have found in the area. Really love it here! read more

From the outside you would never guess that there would be such a nice restaurant. The ambiance is great, as well as the food. My wife had the Pho Special and I had Pho Tai. Terrific broth. Service was really friendly and helpful. These guys know how to run a business. read more

Pho 815 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

nice restaurant. but the Pho was so sweet. so many onions when I asked for none. won't go back.

I came here to eat with my my friend and my boyfriend and we got there at 8pm they close at 9:30pm but they were cleaning up the chairs In front of the customer while eating they closing off the store already. The tables were dirty and she kept on forgetting everything, we had to ask her for straws, silverware and napkins, once we got our drinks. The Thai tea was nasty, slime-y and hard to mix together. After, she brought our meal and the appetizer together. After 10 minutes of eating she brought us the check and told us they were closing soon when it was barely 9. She took 40 minutes to give us our food and only gave us 10 min to eat. The Phó wasn't even that good either!! THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER DON'T go there, unless you want to puke !! read more

Ok but no fun! This place has a great look inside, food good, presentation good and dinning area very clean except the corner bus boy prep area. When asked for item not on menu, "green tea", no substitute or suggestions given. Wait staff knew dishes, but not in original language. No suggestions from waiter no salesmanship. I reccomend the other place Pho Square, more fun, food, and service. read more

Attempted the 815 unique pho. It has meatballs, shaved dish hamburger, and tripe. Generally speaking it was excellent and included crisp basil, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeno. The hamburger was cooked and not uncommon or medium uncommon be that as it may. The tripe was delicate. Stock was good. Far superior to the pho place on Riverside, yet not in the same class as some others in different urban areas. In general, I suggest this spot. read more

We had never tried Pho before so we had no idea what we were ordering. I was thinking the equivalent of Ramen in broth. I got the beef broth Pho. First of all - the bowl was HUGE!! The ginger was so strong I could barely eat it. The Thai iced tea was absolutely delicious!! I did notice no one in the kitchen was wearing masks. That concerned me during covid. read more

Great Pho. We love Asian food and have eaten it in many places in the U.S. A bit overpriced but very good with excellent server despite her being the only one working there and there being at least 4 tables. The poor thing was also answering take out phone orders. Beautiful minimalist decor. Hope that they hire someone to help this sweet woman who worked so hard that Saturday afternoon. Will surely go back....especially for the fresh spring rolls. read more

This is a really nice place for Vietnamese food. You can probably walk there from your hotel. A little hard to see. It's right on State street between Denny's and the Machine Shed Restaurant. (Google it) Tasty food. Reasonable prices. Very clean and the owner is a nice guy. read more

I just went to Pho 815 with a friend and it was amazing. The very best pho i have had since we lived in San Francisco. the use all fresh ingredients and no MSG! We also had the spring rolls which were wonderful, fresh & yummy. I would recommend to anyone who is ready to step out of their comfort zone of burgers, pizza or Mexican to give this place a try. read more

Great alternative to homemade Vietnamese food. Spring rolls is honestly a must! Felt fresh and healthy. The pho and bun bo was very good! Very delicious and how it is honestly suppose to taste when cooked at home. Keep up the quality of the food! read more
