Hands down, this is the best pho spot around. I'll admit to ordering from them multiple times a week but the food is just that good. Everything menu item is fresh, packed with flavor, and made with love. It's honestly too good to share. Whenever I order from Pho 83, I order a full lineup: an appetizer, a main dish which is normally pho, and a banh mi -- an absolute must. The service is top-notch and attentive, even when they're busy. It's a quiet little restaurant with plenty of parking, though seating can get a bit tight if you like lots of space between you and others but a fresh bowl of pho is worth it. One thing I really appreciate is how the banh mi comes with jalapeños already and also the way they mix and package the perfect amount of hoisin and sriracha for takeout orders. Little touches like that (and the food) keep me coming back. ** My go to orders: * Pho Tai Nam Gau (P6) * Pho Ga (P8) * Egg Rolls (A1) * Summer Rolls (A3) * Banh Mi Bo (S2)
It was a rainy day, so my friend Chloe and I decided pho was the perfect choice. I already had my mind set on pho when I walked in, but I noticed the Vietnamese Hue Style Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế) on the menu and had to try it. We ordered that with some extra meatballs and noodles. The food came out quickly, smelled amazing, and tasted just as great. The broth was okay and was expecting it to be a little bit spicy, so I added a little extra sriracha and hoisin to kick it up. Everything was delicious, just could've used a touch more spice for my taste. We also wanted to order spring rolls, but it took a while for the server to check back in with us. Other than that, the restaurant was clean, the food was great, and it definitely hit the spot on a rainy day. For appetizers we ordered the wings, which I thought were going to be crispy but still tasted good for wet wings
Pho 83 is a reliable choice for Vietnamese noodle soups. Though the bun bo hue was enjoyable, the pho stood out more for its richer, more authentic flavor. Service is quick and friendly, and the casual, relaxed atmosphere makes it an easy choice for a comfortable meal. The booklet-style menu also adds a fun, visual experience, and it was nice to see a dedicated vegetarian menu for those interested.
Pho 83, one of our favorite places to dine. We've been going here for probably 9 years or so, either with friends or just the two of us. We decided to eat lunch for dine-in over the weekend. Let's find out how the visit went. We were greeted by staff once we walked inside and got seated immediately. They were half filled with customers on a non-busy afternoon. The vibe itself was pretty chilled. Inside, it was a bit warm, but temps got hot outside so it was beyond our control. After a few minutes, we were ready to place orders. For apps, I selected our usual: Hoanh Thanh Chien (fried wontons) with chili sauce. Just like many times, they were cooked perfectly and tasted great. For my main course, I selected their Bun Ga Thit Nuong (grilled chicken) bun dish with each ingredient listed. The protein was grilled perfectly and the bowl itself was very good. I got full midway and saved the rest for dinner where it was still flavorful. Overall, a nice time for lunch. We couldn't have been more satisfied :)
Wanted to give a higher rating but tad disappointed especially with all the rave about the best pho. This place may have the best pho but their bun Bo hue leaves much to be desired. The pork knuckles were there. The color of the broth looked right but there wasn't any depth of flavor in the broth. It was watery with some salt at best. They didn't even have mam rouc (shrimp paste) which makes the soup better. The soup was a 2.5 but the 3 stars reflect the service. I was immediately greeted, asked if dine in or to go. The soup came out within 10 minutes.
Delicious pho! Haven't had good pho in a while, we just moved to the area and have been craving pho, the pho here is legit! The pho broth was so tasty, I ordered a P1 Round Steak Noodle Pho, it was so delicious! Establishment is nice and clean, nice ambiance. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Only con I can find is that it's a bit pricey, but still would highly recommend. We will definitely be back again to enjoy.
Unassuming spot in a strip mall but it was some of the best pho I've had in a long time. I ordered the P6 and an order of spring rolls Both were so so delicious, I might try another appetizer when I go but have to get the same pho order. Clean, clear, and FLAVORFUL broth, portions are good (the bowl in the picture is a small) I would've liked a little bit more meat but that's probably just because it was so good!! Couldn't stop eating the spring rolls. I left full and very happy. Service wasn't anything special, very efficient for the two people that were working.
One of the best pho spots in Hampton Road area. It never disappoints and I like my usual orders: p7 special Phõ (love the block of tendon), papaya salad, S1 Banh Mi, and A3 Summer rolls (include crunchy spring roll and bbq meat, outstanding flavor and texture). Everything tastes delicious and service is quick. Definitely a must try spot.
The best specialty banh mi I've ever had! Quality meats, they did not skimp at all. The pork belly was tender and the pate was phenomenal. The bread was slightly crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. I have zero complaints. This will be my go to spot from now!
Pho 83 has some of the best Vietnamese food I've had in awhile. I came with a coworker of mine for a work lunch and it was divine. The service was quick and our food came out pretty quickly. It's a casual spot. We ordered the chicken salad, spring rolls, and pho (blanking on which we ordered, but I believe it was a flank one). The pho stole the show. Its flavors were so delicious. I highly recommend ordering a large bowl to share because it's big enough for two and a great price. They will give you separate bowls if you ask. The chicken salad wasn't for me, there was a specific ingredient I wasn't a fan of, but my friend really liked it. She found it refreshing. We both enjoyed our spring rolls. She got a foam coffee and liked it too. One of my big indicators of food being really good is when I can't stop eating it even after I'm full. I was past full and still slurping on my noodles in my pho. I highly recommend checking this Newport News local gem out ASAP!
Be aware they have increased prices significantly as of Jan. 1st!! Picked up a takeout order and didn't realize the total was much more than it was supposed to be so I called them and they said their prices increased the 1st of the year :( The egg rolls were small for the price of $7 for 2. The veggie banh mi sandwich was small for $8.50.
This is for a to-go order of two items. Friendly service over the phone and told it wound be ten minutes and it was ready when I walked in. It was my first time in the restaurant and didn't realize it was sort of small. I paid for my items and was on my way. Food: Really loved the fried egg rolls! Great flavor and great dipping sauce. Had that wonderful crunch. Fresh shrimp/pork summer rolls-not impressed with. The filling seemed not fresh, shrimp was maybe past it's prime. Also not a lot of fresh herbs. The dipping sauce that came with it was not my favorite either. Will go back to try some of the other dishes that look good on their menu!

I had been here last time and wasn't a fan of their banh mi but their bun Bo hue is really good! It's the best out of the places I've tried on the peninsula and also very affordable. The egg rolls were solid and my partner got com Bo nuong (rice and grill beef). The beef was well seasoned and the closest to how my mom seasons her grilled meats. I wish the bun Bo hue had the traditional toppings of cabbage rather than them using pho toppings but the flavor of the soup makes up for it. There also wasn't a lot of meat but they did have a lot of meat variety which I enjoyed. I'll definitely be coming back here for the bun Bo hue and want to try their bun thit nuong next time! read more
This is based on a takeout order. I ordered one large chicken Pho, Vietnamese chicken salad, and a bahn mi sandwich. The broth was put separately in a 32 oz container. It was filled 3 quarters of the way. The vermicelli noodles, cilantro, shredded chicken, and sliced limes were put into their own sections in a styrofoam box. The chicken was tough and not tender. However, the broth was hot and flavorful which softened the meat. Once the noodles, cilantro, and squeeze of lime was mixed into the broth it was wonderful. The Vietnamese chicken salad was good as well. I felt there was a heavy hand of fish sauce in the dressing. The bread on the bahn mi was stale, but the grilled chicken was nicely marinated and grilled. There was taste of some sweetness in the sauce. The cilantro, julienne carrots, and cucumber with mayo always make these combinations my favorite. I always love the hits of heat so you can requests some jalapeños. I look forward to eating in next time:) read more

I came with a good friend, looking to try something new. We then decided on simple fries for the appetizer along with fried wontons. The fries were great, good amount of salt and crisp. The fried wontons were perfectly golden crispy and came with a sweet chili sauce. The wontons were great and gave us hope until our pho quickly arrived. We both decided to order the shrimp noodle soup/ Phở Tôm. It came hot and steamy which excited us, but the smell did not. It smelled of onions, which you can see visibly in the picture. After observing we both took a taste of the noodles and immediately reached for the sauces on the table to better it. After adding more sauces on sauces, we were sure that it just wasn't meant for us. The pho was very displeasing and all we could taste were the onions. Regardless the service was great and nice.Unfortunately we will not be returning. Thanks for reading! read more

I love this spot for the vermicelli salad bowl with awesome price They don't use enough pickled radish or nuts The egg rolls are not normal Vietnamese You can not taste meat only taro hoping they will change that And they are friendly read more
Pho 83 (P83) might just be my favorite Vietnamese spot in CoVA so far! I've been there twice now and both visits have been consistent in both the quality of eats and service. The only thing I'm sad about is that it's on the Peninsula...so far away from home. Waaaaah...but the drive is worth it! - TLC - The service is great! I've had different staff members both visits, but both times have been super helpful and friendly. I dined with my kids the first time and the individual saw me split the pho into two bowls and they came over and kindly let me know that next time, I should just ask and they'll split it in the kitchen! Appreciate the heads up and noted! - Noms - Vietnamese iced coffee - I always ask for extra condensed milk everywhere I go, because ya know, I'm a sweet person LOL. P83's is strong and not diluted. YUM! It was great for my drive back home. Fresh rolls - has a nice slice of pork and shrimp with the noodles and cucumber. It's always rolled well and the rice paper wrapper is supple and not dried out, an indication that it was freshly rolled to order. Their peanut sauce is more on the peanut butter-y side than the combo of PB and hoisin, just FYI. Still delicious, just not what I am used to. Pho tai nam gau - Spot on! I just LOVE their broth. I always take a good slurp before I squeeze in the sriracha. The noodles are just perfect and most importantly, I alway check the bean sprouts/Thai basil/lime/jalapeno plate. All the dressings were fresh and not gray/black or wilted. This is usually related to the turnaround of the restaurant and P83 was somewhat busy, so they probably go through it quick, hence keeping it fresh! On my second, recent visit, my friend got the rice vermicelli noodles (bun dishes) and everything was great. She got the triple combo meat (chicken, beef, pork with fried spring rolls) and it was yum! Bun dishes are usually my second go-to! I'd get that next time if I'm not in the mood for pho. Lastly, the icing on the cake, is the price. I'm actually surprised that they are still able to keep their prices pretty low as compared to the way the world is headed or already is. The other day, I paid almost $9 for a latte and you can still get a small bowl of pho tai nam gau at P83 for under $9, just as a comparison. Totally not complaining! Definitely will keep going back to P83 and it will be hard not to compare other Vietnamese spots to it. Stay safe, Friends! read more

Favorite Pho and bahn mi in the area! Service was great, but the food speaks for itself. Pho- super flavorful, tender meat Banh mi- Bread was fresh and perfect mix of soft with that toasted crunch. I got the two meat special with pork belly. I would say def consider it as it adds a lot of that fatty goodness to it. Also lots of drinks on the menu- boba, teas, coffee. I want to try the next time I go! read more

I'm writing an updated review because I find out P12 is my new favorite Pho in Pho 83. P12 comes with eye round steak, brisket and tendon. The broth is still full of flavor and authentic, and the spring roll and egg roll are fresh and delicious. The Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is also a must-get. It is strong and roasty so watch out if you don't like strong coffee. The setting of the coffee is authentic as they put the ground coffee and water into a specialized coffee filter, which is placed on top of a glass that has condensed milk in it. It takes some time for all the coffee to drip into the glass but that also makes it good, and it's interesting! (Which also gives you a reminder that you might wanna get a water while waiting for the coffee's done) The staff are friendly and helpful. They can be very busy during lunch but they're trying their best to hand out food and provide services as quick as they can. Pho 83 also feel like home as I see many regulars coming in, and the staff knows what they want before the customers even had to say anything! I try to come here once a month since I live in Virginia Beach, but sometimes I HAVE TO come here more than once because I can't find any other Pho place in Hampton Roads that can compete with Pho 83. It's far, but totally worth the drive! read more
Delicious Pho! Love the fact that you can choose a smaller size which is the perfect lunch serving. My only complaint and reason for 3 stars is the service. Our server literally had us sitting at our table for 10 minutes before she came up to us. She was bussing tables and checking on other tables before even saying hello and taking our drink orders. I had to say "Excuse me, do you know where our server is?" She said, "I'll be with you in a moment" and continued to buss the table. She didn't check on us and didn't refill our drinks. She was talking to the friend who came in to see her instead. As long as she's not my server, I'd be back! read more
The broth is flavorful with right amount of salt. They're generous with the meat and the noddle was cooked perfectly. Our server was nice and very expedient service as the food was out in 10 minutes. The decor and dining area was simple and minimalist BUT yet comfortable and home-like. Also, great location with ample parking. This is my new go-to place for pho in newport news..so I encourage you all to try it. read more

This used to be our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, but it appears to have been renovated and is under new management. They have a new drink menu, but I ordered my standard brown sugar boba. It was tasty but a little too sweet, and boba were a little soft rather than chewy. I also ordered papaya salad and some chicken banh mi. The chicken does not have as good a lemongrass flavor as in the past. and the bread was huge and somewhat tougher than it used to be. I haven't tried the pho yet (since the weather is still hot), but I'm worried that the broth will not be as good as it used to be. I'll probably give it another try, but so far the items I've tried have declined in quality from how they were in the past. read more

This restaurant is a family run gem! Wonderful customer service with amazing food! I had the rice with beef, chicken and shrimp which was a fresh and delightful dish! I had the Triple Layer Coffee.....HEAVEN. The BanhMi I got to go, pork, chicken and beef. To date, this is the best Banh Mi I have had on the Peninsula. So substantial and classic! read more
