Just about the least comfortable seating I've ever sat on in a restaurant (the booths and the chairs), but what matters, the food and the service, were great. Delicious pho, so flavorful with all the spices. Spring rolls were okay. Mom of this mom and pop was very friendly as a server and helpful in teaching me to eat the pho and spring rolls the proper way. Did I mention the pho's flavor was incredible? read more

Excellent Pho Ga, or chicken pho. Delicious broth and fresh vegetables. Chicken has tasted fresh the two times I ordered the soup. Nice clean place. Would recommend read more

Wow, I am shocked by all the great reviews of this place. The spring rolls were about a 4 out 10. I ordered tofu with curry sauce. The sauce was very bland and the tofu tasted of freezer burn and had the consistency of chewing gum. Awful food. read more

Good pho. Not amazing, not bad. Quick service! Recommend steak or vegetable pho with beef broth.

Just had the absolute best experience ordering food last night so I had to come here to give them their kudos! I walked in here around 750, and knowing that this Mom & Pop location closes at 8, I immediately apologized when I went to ask for a take-out menu. (I believe the owner was the one who helped me) He not only seemed happy to see me, but even made recommendations without rushing me at all! After he apologized that they were out of vermicelli for the night so one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available, he offered me a free drink from the cooler (which I declined). The final kicker was that the bill came out to around $17, so I was looking for a $20 to speed up the transaction. I didn't have one...so he asked me how much cash I had so he could discount my meal. Amazing! I declined that too as I too was once an immigrant child growing up with a small business, but absolutely gracious gestures from a family owned restaurant has me totally won over. The food is absolutely top-notch too, they've had articles and awards from Phoenix New Times, etc. so GO. GO NOW! Enjoy some scrumptious food and help us a great local business! read more

I discovered this diamond in the rough on my way to work. I live across town I would have never discovered this GEM if it were not for my job being located in the same demographic area. We are lovers of food and are always on a mission to venture out and taste the flavors of the world.. Their pho is absolute perfection! The staff speaks their native language so it can be difficult to explain what you would like to order and sometimes the order is incorrect due to the language barrier, This is where the quote "patience is virtue" changes the willful ignorance mindset, so I speak slowly and kindly ask to repeat the order back, understanding that this will only bring me closer to the blissful beautiful bowl of the best Vietnamese pho in town!!! I have tried other items out of curiosity; however, wasn't as easily impressed with anything else on the menu. read more

Amazing food..it is obvious this couple puts tender loving care in all they do. Im having fun going and trying different things on the menu. A must try for all who want to tantalize their taste buds..... A plus.... michelle read more

Pho A.V - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So glad to have found this place. Being from Cali, I've been spoiled with good pho but this mom and pop shop can hold their ground!! After having pho Thanh for 2 years in the valley, my family and I tried pho av after moving to paradise valley recently. I gotta be honest, I don't think I'll be going back to pho Thanh. I got the combination pho, the broth was clean, fragrant and very flavorful. No film of excessive film of oil and no smell of old meat. The soup was clear and piping hot. The noodles were on point slightly al dente and loaded with meat. The egg rolls were delicious, and my wife loved the pho Thai. Definitely coming back! read more

Under new ownership. It just isn't the same. The new woman at the front counter could use a smile. The food has changed and isn't quite to my liking anymore. I suppose I'll look for a new spot! read more

Super tasty. The broth had great flavor and the portions were huge! I've been looking for a decent Pho place that isn't way off the beaten path and this is it! Wait staff was great and super friendly. I will definitely come back! read more

Pho here is amazing! Came in last night after to pick up and it was sooo great to see the place was packed! Keep supporting the small family business' read more

This place needs to STAY!! Absolutely the best Vietnamese in the valley. I have only had one better Bun, and that was in San Fransisco (which makes sense as there is a huge Asian population there). We have been there twice and both times the food was delicious. Different flavors, but shouldn't be scary for the 'American' palate. Both times we had the #16 Bun w pork. And the #20 Soft egg noodle w veges and beef. And the wonderful spring rolls. As the other reviews have noted, not much atmosphere ( I may take my iPod speakers next time). The server is extremely friendly and helpful. When we had dinner there the last time, I had mixed my pork and veges and noodles as your supposed to do, But she stopped by and put the rest of my sauce (kind of a light dressing) on my food and motioned to mix it more. I bet she wanted to help me and do it herself. Very cute. read more

It's two staff restaurant . The wife and the husband. It took some time to get order, our food, and the check. The Pho soup was good. The "grilled" beef was stir fry. read more

Was really close to giving this place one star, but the food wasn't spoiled or anything which I use as a one-star guideline. The issue I have with the food is that it lacks flavor or is over-salted. Instead of finding balance in the flavor of the food, the culinary vision here elects on a unconfident choices. Which is kind of a shame, considering how appetizing the MENU makes the dishes appear. As a customer, this results in your expectations and your reality failing to match up. Expect to be disappointed and you'll be on the safer side. The pho that I ordered was way underwhelming, and my partner's salad noodle dish was way too salted. Suggestions for the owners: Get some control of your food. Return to the traditional roots of cooking broth early in the morning and regularly test your broth so you are not disappointed. Also, go to Da Vang Pho in central Downtown, or Pho Thanh, and remember how traditional southern Vietnamese pho tastes like. Because once you master that, you will bring in a lot more customers. read more

The pho broth was way too sweet. We couldn't enjoy it. I also ordered the cold noodle salad but there is water at the bottom of the bowl so it diluted the sauce came with the salad. I was quite disappointed with the food. Service was fast but that's it. read more

I've been coming here consistently for the past two years. When I say consistently, I've probably been there 100 times since I moved here. Easily my favorite pho restaurant in Phoenix, and I've tried 5 or 6 different ones close by. The broth is very savory and flavorful, which sets them apart from many others I've tried. The staff is nice and authentically Vietnamese, most of them speaking little English (thats how you know you're in a good pho spot). Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality pho in the Phoenix area :) read more

A mom n pop kinda place. Small, pho was good, shrimp roll was okay...but then againI grew up in Toronto, Canada where we have a huge Vietnamese population and pho places are everywhere, cheap and tasty! Satisfied my pho craving while in Scottsdale. read more

Delicious and inexpensive! They have kids sizes as well. The people there are super nice and very attentive.

Delicious pho tai! A secret gem tucked away in a little strip mall. Definitely not a place to go for the atmosphere but for amazing Vietnamese food. read more

One of the best pho in the North valley. Solid broth and great noodles. This family owned establishment serves up good food consistently.

Love the service!!! I highly recommend the egg rolls. The staff is supper friendly and welcome you with a nice smile. One day I had no idea what to order I wanted to try something new and the cashier recommended rice noodles. The best ever!! read more

A very nice couple was working. No, they don't speak much English but you can tell they are learning. Plus the food was very authentic and the menu was varied. It's not in a pretty spot but it's clean. I couldn't find the hours or phone number so I just posted a pic with the back of their menu with that info. read more

The broth for their beef pho is DELICIOUS and they have an awesome peanut sauce to go with the spring rolls. I've never had pork sausage spring rolls before and I'm so glad I tried theirs! Very yummy, would definitely order from them again! read more

This little spot has the best Pho! Lucky for me it's only about 10 minutes from my house. I also really like the spring rolls.

Decided to try Pho A.V. as we have been trying various Pho restaurants in N. Phoenix trying to find one that is as good as the ones in the Portland area where there is a large Vietnamese community. We have tried many in the Phoenix area and none have really met our expectations. We are pleasantly surprised by Pho A.V. We ordered takeout and got #1 spring rolls, #7 Pho Tai (beef noodle soup with sliced beef) and #10 Pho Tai Nam (beef noodle soup with beef brisket and sliced beef). The meat, and veggies tasted very fresh and the Pho Soup broth had a deep rich flavor we give it a 4.5. The salad roles themselves were excellent, the shrimp and sprouts were fresh. The only drawback was the peanut sauce which was a bit runny. Overall we give Pho AV a solid 4 stars.. read more

This place is outstanding and I'd recommend it to my friends and family all day. I'm no expert on Vietnamese or pho but everything I've ordered from them has been very delicious. They are always very helpful too. You can't go wrong eating here. read more

Get the fresh coconut! Soup is very good, but could use some clean up to make taste a little fresher.

As others have mentioned, the Pho broth here is deep and rich without being oily. A slight hint of anise and other complex flavors. Try adding some extra vegetables and leaving half the noodles for a filling but healthy meal read more

Delicious food! Fast service! So glad we found this place definitely the best pho I've tried in Arizona

Finding good pho in a clean environment in Phoenix is challenging. However, my first impression if this place was small, but cute and clean. The pho was really good and tasted really fresh. The customer service was great as well. The nana served us and she was as sweet as can be. read more

Just moved to this part of town and found this place. The pho is amazing!!!egg rolls out of this world. Good prices and nice portions. My only complaint is the service,there was only one server, and she didn't look happy to be there at all..we felt like we weren't welcome in there..I tried to ask for more limes and she never brought them to me. Ordered a taro smoothie and she decided to make it about 10 minutes before we left. If you don't like your job don't be there, we are paying customers and we like to be treated better. I would definitely go back for the food but not for the service read more

Triend this place for the 2nd time after a while, it just confirmed what I had sensed the first time. The meat portions on the Pho are ridiculously light, so the majority of what your eating is the rice noddles and the broth which is not bad. This place needs to rethink the portions of protein they are serving or it will soon face reality! read more

A great place to taste delicious Vietnamise cuisine. This place is right next to food city hissen from road. The place is small but they serve delicious food and are very hospitable. We tried Spring rolls with some rice cakes and very yummy soup. We went with the intention of tasting a little bit but ended up finishing a whole meal due to their delicious taste. The ambiance of this place is also very soothing and pleasant. This for sure is a retainer for us when we have Vietnamise food on our mind. My son and wife are very picky about good taste ans they were very happy with the taste here. The place is just amazing with good tasty food and nice ambience. read more
