    Thai Drunken noodles
    Justin P.

    My Pho 919 experience is always a bit of a roller coaster of emotions, but one thing is for sure is that I will always enjoy the food. This place is a local Vietnamese spot that also serves Thai food, and there truly is something for everyone. As I mentioned previously, there are always a bunch of emotions that I go through and I have a feeling that others do as well. Phase 1 is the excitement. I always walk in to see that the restaurant has a decent sized crowd. The decor is lively and there is a little robot serving tables giant bowls of pho. This is so cool! You open the menu and the prices are a bit steep, but there are so many options. They have the Vietnamese classic dishes like pho, vermicelli bowls, and rice dishes. They also have traditional Thai noodles, and hot pots. There is so much to choose from! Phase 2 brings a bit of deflation and is a buzz kill to the experience. Pho 919 consistently seems to be slow when it comes to service and the delivery of food. On an average day, I might wait about 30 minutes. If it's busy, my family and I have waited over an hour before. If this place was quicker, it would definitely be my #1 Vietnamese food option, but sometimes, I simply do not want to wait this long. In Phase 3, I am content. The food arrives, and although I feel that the portions may not match the price, I do not leave hungry. The food itself is great. Their vermicelli bowls are done quite well, the pho has a lot of complex flavors to it, their Thai drunken noodles are packed with some heat, but delicious as well, and their beef tendon hot pot with rice melts in your mouth. I don't think I have had a bad dish from here, although I would say their Tom Yum sour hot pot is a bit of an acquired taste. Too much of that dish has your tongue feeling a certain kind of sting. In the end, I cannot always say that the food is worth the wait based on some of the prices I pay. However, the diversity and quality of the food is a drawing factor, and is certainly worth a visit. Plus, I find the little robot server quite cute - I wish more restaurants had this!

    I've only tried the pho at Pho 919, and while it's not my personal favorite, I still find myself coming back. The people I usually go with really enjoy it and I must say, the service is consistently great, which adds to the experience. I think it may just come down to personal preference. I tend to like a cleaner, lighter broth, and this one leans a bit heavier for me. That said, I'm open to trying other dishes next time because everything else about the restaurant is solid. The space is large and I've never had to wait for seating which is always a plus.

    It's been a while since we've visited. They've updated their decor so that it's more of a tropical vibe. They also added Thai food to the menu. It was very busy for a Wednesday night & they were clearly very short handed. Despite that, we were taken care of in a timely manner. Our appetizers were very good. Fried Vietnamese egg rolls were very well made & fried perfectly to a light crunch. Fish cakes were very well flavored. As for entrees, the Thai boat noodle with beef was very food. The rich broth was very flavorful & strongly scented with cinnamon. The other entrees were well seasoned and a good sized portion as well.

    Having been a loyal customer of Pho 919 for years, I've regretfully noticed a significant shift in the quality of the Pho. While I understand that changes in management might occur, the broth recipe is now fundamentally different. It's lost its clarity and traditional flavor, becoming a much darker and heavily spiced broth. Additionally, the brisket is no longer sliced thinly, which affects the overall texture of the dish. I sincerely hope the original recipe returns.

    I'm not sure what happened after the new management, but the place took a pretty hard downturn in my opinion. The interior has been completely redesigned, and I think it looks a lot nicer. The decorations make the place feel a bit more comfortable compared to the previous all-white diner vibe. The menu has expanded by quite a bit, and they have added a lot of drinks and a whole new Thai selection. The prices have also gone up by quite a bit, and I know inflation has its own part in this, but the jump in price really shocked me. The pho itself was solid, pretty much the same as before. The pad thai was not great. The chicken felt like it was compressed. Just imagine a piece of chicken that has been pounded and compacted so many times that when you go in to bite it, it is just a really hard chunk. I was honestly really disappointed with it, given how much of the dish was chicken. Had to just give up on the chicken and eat everything else around it. Don't think I would recommend coming back until some changes are made.

    Let me first start by saying, at the time of this review I was in Vietnam & Thailand for two weeks, one week prior to writing this review. I spoke to the owner Michael, he is from Bangkok. I told him I was interested to see what Pho in Raleigh tasted like compared to my recent trip to Vietnam. He ensured me that I would like it. Cautiously optimistic, I was excited to try it. I ordered fresh spring rolls, they were some of the best I've had. The pho was a southern Viet style broth, meaning very beefy and not herby like the north. This Pho compared to the extensive volume of pho I've consumed over the past 14 days in Vietnam is almost identical. Despite not sitting on a sidewalk eating it, it replicates what you would get on the other side of the world! Great place. Nice owner. Vietnamese food and culture fanatic. 10/10 would recommend.

    PHO919 is a great place for a tasty and affordable lunch. The service was friendly and efficient and the decor is fun. The owner spoke with us and and our drinks were served by a robot! I had the Pad Thai stir-fried rice noodles dish served with egg, scallion, bean sprouts in a sweet savory tamarind sour sauce. The lime and peanut side made the dish pop. The five others in my party all said that they will definitely return and so will I!

    The broth was rich & flavorful. The noodles were perfectly cooked. Customer service is great. Very attentive. Thank you so much " Claire" .

    10/10 dining experience! 5th time coming here it never disappoints. The broth was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered for hours. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the meat was tender and fresh. Every bite felt comforting and satisfying. I also tried the spring rolls, which were light, crisp, and paired perfectly with the special sauce. My favorite! Thank you again for the wonderful service from our server " Claire "

    Pho 919 revamped their interior and it looks so nice inside now! They have an aesthetic jungle/forest vibe. I got the spicy well done brisket pho and it was delicious! It was flavorful and very filling, came with a lot of noodles. They have a robot deliver your food along with the staff. The staff were nice and attentive!

    Good taste, great service and the restaurant is clean. Was great for quick lunch. Reasonably priced

    Julia W.

    Pho 919 is a hidden gem in morrisville. Kind staff and high quality food. I ordered the pork vermicelli noodle bowl with egg rolls, and my boyfriend ordered the beef pho. The pork bowl was incredibly tasty, and contained a lot of meat/egg rolls/noodles. The pho had an incredibly deep flavor which is hard to find in this area. I would definitely go back again.

    Aria D.

    The food is overpriced and ok, at the least. I've had better pho around the area for less than the price they are charging. Also, very disappointing they charge a fee for take out.

    I'm order new menu Pad Thai tofu so amazing and very delicious I'll be back

The only thing we felt was missing from the menu was an ability to do both in one meal. A half pho, half banh mi option would be a perfect addition to the menu and has been seen at other similar establishments. I opted for the pork banh mi and it was good. The bread was both soft and crunchy as French bread should be. The pork was decently portioned and the accompaniments were great including the aioli. It has a combo meal option with a drink and fries so I also had peach bubble tea. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but still good. The service was quick and attentive.

There's a sign noting that food may take time (this isn't fast food), but everything came out in a reasonable timeframe and in the right order: drinks, appetizers, then entrées. We even witnessed the staff handle a very rude customer with impressive kindness and professionalism. The restaurant is simple and spacious, and we had plenty of room for our mobility devices without feeling in the way, which we really appreciated. We ordered the salty lemonade, strawberry shake with boba, rice cake appetizer, meatball pho, and combination fried rice. With tip, the total came to about $80 for two people. Overall, the food was good, though the pho left a bit to be desired. There was a slight sweetness or something missing from the broth, and the noodles absorbed a lot of liquid in the leftovers. It wasn't the best pho I've had, but not the worst -- the search for the best pho in the Triangle continues. My husband loved the fried rice and finished it entirely. The menu is extensive, so I'll try something different next time. We'll likely return since it's close to our apartment and there's plenty more to explore on the menu.

This was my first time but my friend's hundredth (her words!) There was plenty of parking. We were greeted upon entry and informed that we could choose where we sat and just to scan the table QR code when we were ready to order. We chose a high top and a server brought us water. The vibrant colors and decor gave off excellent vibes. I ordered the Karaage Bowl (on greens instead of rice AND all the sauces on the side) and a side order of seaweed salad. A server brought them to our table. It was not necessary for us to get up once we were seated. Everything was SO GOOD. Like, "I'm mad at myself for not coming here before" good. All of the sauces were amazing too. I ordered them on the side since I wasn't sure how I would like them all, but I think I'll leave them on next time. The "greens" were a mix of lettuce and cabbage. The side of seaweed salad for $2.50 seemed a little small when they brought it out but it was packed in there and was plenty. The server came around a couple of times to check on us and top off our water. We bussed our own trash. There was only one unisex bathroom that I saw. There seemed like a lot of takeout orders going out (it was a little separate from the dining area which was nice). There was also a lovely outdoor area that would be nice if it wasn't 100 degrees. I will definitely be back to try more menu items!
