I first went to this restaurant when it was at the old location and honestly, wasn't impressed. We decided to give it another try and the food has improved alot! Everything we had was super tasty! Upon walking in, we were greeted immediately and seated. Our waitress and waiter (we had two) were super sweet, attentive, and cheerful. I missed eating home cooked Vietnamese food so we decided to come and enjoy a meal here. Everything was clean (floors, tables, and bathroom). We had the following: Grilled pork summer rolls: 8.5/10 - fresh, bright, and full of veggies, vermicelli, pork, and a crunchy roll inside. It was so delicious! I love summer rolls and this hit the spot! The peanut dipping sauce went so well with the rolls. I loved how the rolls had so many great textures. Pho dac biet (combination): 7.5/10 - the broth was alot more flavorful and it came with a generous amount of meat (beef balls, sliced beef, tripe) and lots of fresh veggies (lime, cilantro, jalapeno, mint, bean sprouts). Last time when we went, the broth was lacking flavor but now, it's pretty good. Beef combo plate w/rice: 8 - the beef was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! The lemongrass flavor wasn't strong or overpowering and they give you a good amount of beef. It came with white rice and pickled veggies (daikon, cucumber, and carrots) and fish sauce. Again, super flavorful and I actually cleaned the plate! The only small critique was that I thought the meat was going to be like short ribs and the waitress confirmed it was, but it wasn't. Avocado smoothie: 8/10 - I love avocado smoothies and its hard to find a place that makes it right. Here, it was absolutely perfect! The avocado's flavor really shined. Most places would make it way too sweet and you can't taste the avocado. However, I was able to taste the fresh avocado and the sweetness was on point. Overall, I'm super happy about the improvements and will definitely be coming back! Glad there's an authentic Vietnamese restaurant not too far from us now! read more

Tried Pho 99 for the first time after hearing so many people recommend it, and it did not disappoint. The food was really good, and the service was quick and attentive overall. The service was a little mixed though. We had one server who was really on top of things, but then another came over right after trying to take our order too, which got a bit confusing. If you've been around for a while, you probably remember this spot as the old 90s/2000s lunch place. I was hoping they'd update the inside a bit, maybe rearrange or remodel, but it pretty much looks the same, just with a different cuisine now. One downside was cleanliness. The floors and bathroom could definitely use more attention. read more

Pho 99 Vietnamese Grill - 17. Phở 99 Special Beef Soup / Phở Bò Đặc Biệt - Vietnamese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Every time the weather turns a little bit colder or rainy, it's time for hot soup. I tried the bun bo hue and the broth was pretty decent. It has good flavor, but at its base, it wasn't really spicy at all. While ordering, we found that they don't really allow for spice customizations. It comes how it is, and you're able to adjust your chili oil to your liking at the table, which can be a pro and a con. If you're not a big spice lover, it's really helpful. But if you do like spice, it's a little off putting because your only option is to load the chili oil in without the nuance of flavoring it to be spicier in the kitchen. Other than that though, the servings are pretty decent with lots of toppings. They have a pretty varied menu with a lot of other options that looked good too. read more

Omg! These are my new favorite noodles. I love soup and noodles in general and had a craving since it was cold so I decided to try Pho 99 for lunch. I ordered them to go and had to reheat at work, but it was still amazing. The hostess was so sweet and accommodating. I can't wait to dine in. read more

Pho 99 Vietnamese Grill - 28. Hue-Style Noodle Soup / Bún Bò Huế 28. Hue-Style Noodle Soup / Bún Bò Huế - Vietnamese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is a hidden gem on Jacksonville's westside. I love good Vietnamese food and Pho 99 is wonderful! I really enjoy their spring rolls. I have ordered them multiple times and they are always very fresh, hot and well filled. I have gotten the pho many times and it is great. My favorite broth is 30 miles away so when I want to be near the house and want some soul satisfying pho, Pho 99 is my go-to. My nephew loves it. He is always very happy to come here. Their prices are super reasonable as well. The service is always great, attentive but not over-bearing. The restaurant is a good size and isn't crazy busy but steady each time I have gone. Sometimes on a quieter day, the family will have cartoons playing for the kids, and I am perfectly fine with that! I like knowing I am going to a family owned business. I will continue to return. read more

Great spot for Vietnamese cuisine. Really good service with friendly staff and owners. I regularly order the spring rolls as an appetizer and the chicken soup/pho. The last time I came here, my husband tried their yellow curry. It was pretty good but definitely not the best curry, lacking flavor. But I would recommend any of their soups/pho. They also have boba, pretty standard flavors and they're very tasty. They have tons to explore on their menu outside of pho. They are easy to find since they are located right off of Lane Ave and they have ample parking. read more

Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by friendly staff who promptly escorted us to our table. The ambiance was fairly standard. The menu offerings were uncomplicated and affordably priced. Our server demonstrated exceptional patience and provided excellent recommendations. I opted for the tom yum soup, which was served with shrimp and mushrooms, and found the broth to be expertly balanced in terms of hot and sour flavors. The grilled pork with rice was also noteworthy, with the pork being seasoned to perfection. My son's beef pho received favorable reviews, with the bowl being quickly emptied. Overall, our dining experience was superb, and we will certainly return. read more

Pho was good but it was not as temperature hot as it should have been . The summer roll was good but the meat was a little dry. One big issue I have is they want cash an if you use a card it is 3% more . I have not seen this in any other restaurant. The restaurant an rest rooms were very clean. The other issue I had is that they prep some of the fresh vegetables on the bar read more

This was the third place on our list of pho places to try in jax. Went with the bun bo hue and my wife had the beef pho with brisket, steak and flank. Server was super nice and friendly. We didnt get much of the fresh herbs and bean sprout for our soups but at least they had it. The broth for BBH was good and the ham and brisket were alright. I didnt get the ham hock in the soup this time so maybe they ran out. The beef pho was also decent. Overall, I'd say this was an average BBH and pho experience. We may consider coming back another time to try some other menu items such as the com thit nuong or mi xiao options. Great service though. read more

* Price: reasonable. $5 for rolls, $12 appetizer salads, $12-14 bowl of soups. * Ambiance: very spacious and clean. * Location: very easy to find. Large parking space. * Meals: authentic vietnamese food. *Service: good service. The owner is very friendly. This is the same Pho 99 in Blanding Avenue. The owner closed her business last year and re-opened at a new location. Since they are just reopened, staff is new and perhaps some unintentional mistakes with their services. We had lotus salad, grilled beef rolls, spicy beef soups, vermicelli with grilled meats, and pho. Everything is very tasty and authentic. Their menu is large with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai dishes. This neighborhood does not have many Asian restaurants. So, we are very happy that they reopen this restaurant and hope they will continue to thrive! read more

Beware. Requesting an extra takeout bowl is a $4 charge. Highway robbery. Very disappointed about their customer service policies.

Food is good. It's a big place and it was empty in the afternoon when we went. Maybe it's not in the right location. My first time trying Bun Bo Hue and I felt like it's not earthy or super flavorful for me. It's nice that they didn't serve us any pork and gave us option. (For people that don't eat pork) read more

Pho 99 Vietnamese Grill - Spicy beef noodle and xl beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The place was clean and the server was friendly. Food was very good, and excellent portion sizes for the cost. Will definitely be back.

I'm not sure if this is the same as the Pho 99 that used to be in the strip mall north of the corner of Blanding and 134. Doesn't really seem the same. The old one with the same name was probably a 4 or 5 with fantastic service and quality soup. I've been here twice now, and considering it's the only option in the area after Yummy Pho and Pho 77777 both shut down, it's not completely horrible. In our first visit, we had a glitch with seating ourselves then having to hunt down menus 15 minutes later. Out second time, the service was much better. But the basil was missing and the meat was a little skimpy. The place is clean and it's "good enough," but if I've got time, I'll probably still swing down to Pho Saigon by the mall for better flavor. And if I have a lot of time, I'd rather go to Pho Today or Bowl of Pho in Southside. read more

Good Chicken fried rice. Summer Rolls were ok. I did not feel that it was worth the price.

It was already popping at 5:45pm on a Tuesday! That should tell you all you need to know. Great service and wonderful well priced dishes. We'll be back to eat more from the menu. read more

Not sure what all the hooha is about, this restaurant is excellent. The food was exceptional and the service was not bad at all. Everyone around me seemed to be enjoying their food and the ambiance. The restaurant is spacious, serves alcohol, and plays jazz music. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are great. The pho broth was clean and the bowl came with a lot of noodles and meat. I arrived to the restaurant at 12 o'clock on a Thursday and was able to put in an order right before the lunch rush. Food came out in 10 minutes and it was steaming hot. There was also ample parking around the restaurant. I wanted to check out this restaurant to check whether or not it was as bad as the other reviews made it out to be, fortunately I had no complaints whatsoever. read more

Ended up here for dinner purely by luck. The service was great! We were greeted and seated promptly. The place was very clean and open. Ordered the Chicken Satay for an appetizer. It was really good. Not dry or overcooked. The peanut sauce was not too sweet and not too savory. Also ordered the fried rice, which was delicious! I can say I haven't had a fried rice that tasty in a while. The beef pho was so good ! The broth was savory & the beef cuts were perfect size. I enjoyed the brisket cuts the most. The chicken pho was just as savory and loaded with chicken. Not huge chunks that make it hard to enjoy pho, these were sliced to a perfect bite. The owner and her baby boy were darling! Our waitress Yo-Yo was entertaining and really pleasant. Will be back soon! read more

Definitely a family business and the special beef pho soup is more than just amazing. It's exquisite and honestly to be safe to say it's very authentic than other pho I've tasted all over the city so far. I look forward to come here again. You can even taste the hint of peanut sauce in the pho too I love it. The liquid is exceptionally rich as well. When I came, it's just few families and me. It was very quiet I liked it for a family business restaurant. Appreciated everything although the service could be better but I'm not complaining about this on a good day! Kudos! read more

Pho 99 Vietnamese Grill - Special beef pho soup with the condiments on the side - Vietnamese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We liked almost everything we had here. The servers were pleasant and the restaurant had an open, clean feel. The crispy spring roll was good, so was the summer fresh roll and the grilled pork vermicelli noodles. The pho was almost perfect with generous helpings of their garnish, perfect thin cuts of eye round steak, and well cooked noodles. The broth was just a little off and missing some seasoning. But overall a good experience and we plan to return for more. read more

We use to frequent Pho 99 when they were located on Blanding. We have since moved closer to the Murray Hill area and they reopened closer to us. Thank goodness because the other two options on the Westside isn't that great. I've had the spring rolls, rice plate, pho and bird's nest from here. All have been delicious. Service can be a hit or miss especially when it comes to refilling waters, but overall really happy with this establishment. read more

Me and the wife went today April 12.2023 at 4:30pm We went in they said hello. we sat at a table after about 15 minutes We call one of the servers over ask for menu got nothing I got up and got some menus a Vietnamese man Walked in he seated the man and took his order while they talked. My wife is Filipino and I'm half black n viet so it's not about race. So after 30 minutes we got up and walked out. For me the new pho77777 on Normandy will be my pho house. They're very good. It's making me leave a star 00000 stars read more

I'm only giving them a one star because the take out lady was nice. My daughter called in a take out order, she ordered 2 bowls of pho, both pho 99 special but hers without tripe. She ate 2 bites and said it tasted weird. I ate mine even though it wasn't that good. The next day I heated up some of hers and ate it then a few hours later I was vomiting and had diarrhea. We have gotten food poisoning from a few other Chinese restaurants over the past years and I know their food is different than pho but we now remember why we stopped ordering take out from most restaurants. This was even before the pandemic started. I don't recommend eating at this place. read more

I was very disapppointed because I love Vietnamese food. I ordered the chicken and I told them that I would like vegetables with my meal. I received WHITE RICE with Honey Chicken. Everyone was nice but beyond that the service wasn't good. I received no knife to cut my chicken (i had to get up)The Lemonade machine wasn't working. There was NO salad dressing and the waiter did not come back to ask me did I need anything else (i had to get up). I had to get out of my chair to request what I needed. The soup didn't come with vegetables. No mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, etc. I think you get the message. I don't think I'll go back. read more

Great food and service every time. My go-to's are the beef pho, chicken wings, chicken satay, summer rolls and crispy spring rolls.

Do yourself a favor, if you want really good pho this isn't really the place. And I'm not just saying that because the staffs body language indicated I was the butt of an inside joke. They'd look at me then each other say something in Vietnamese and the laugh. I asked one of them everything was ok and he said yes and that they were just making fun of each other. ‍ read more

Easy parking and access to the restaurant. Good seating - booths around the edge and tables in the middle. Large enough to accommodate a large party. Service was great! I was by myself and couldn't order a lot. I went with the #35 noodle bowl with shrimp. 7 nicely seasoned and grilled shrimp on a bed of warm, bouncy rice noodles covering cool shredded vegetables and a flavorful sauce. A garnish of chopped peanut. What a great combination and set of flavors I also ordered a fresh spring roll tightly rolled with shrimp, shredded pork, noodles, vegetables and herbs. A thick peanut sauce was for dipping. Check out their menu. I believe they also have smoothies plus boba teas. I was really pleased and will return with friends to try other dishes. And check it out for yourself! read more

This place just opened up & we couldn't wait to try it. I tried something new (I usually get Pho) and got the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles.
