With so much more pho spots opening up in SLC it's becoming harder to stay relevant if you are not making even a fair product. I have been to Pho Bien Hoa twice now and while their Pho is not my most favorite in the Valley, it does hit the spot. The flavor is fair. It's served piping hot and has a fair amount of proteins and noodles. Of course it came with the side of bean sprouts, Thai basil, and jalapeño with condiments set on the table. I order the regular size and it's just enough for me to finish and feel satisfied. I've tried their wings. It had a garlicky, sweet and sour type sauce. They were fried crispy and I enjoyed them a lot. I've tried their lychee on lychee tea. It was a bit too sweet for me. My better half finished it up for me and ordered the shaking beef for himself. It was tender and flavorful. Pho Bien Hoa is close to my area when I don't feel like traveling far. It's affordable. The dining area and restrooms have always been clean on both visits and the service has been great both times. There's usually a small steady stream of people who dine in or take out. Stop in and judge for yourself. read more

Hurts me to give this low rating. I was very disappointed with this dining experience, all the way from the food to the service. The food took very long to come out with no updates provided as to why. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the wait. The pho lacked a lot of flavor, bun rieu was too sweet, chicken curry was soooo thin. The only good thing was the chicken salad (goi ga). Viet food is my favorite but I will not be coming back. read more

We wanted to try someplace we've never been to before and found Pho Bien Hoa in Carriage Square. The place is very clean and has an inviting ambiance. We ordered 3 dishes, Orange Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Beef Pan Fried Noodles. The noodles were very dry. We asked for more gravy but that didn't help. We couldn't rehydrate the noodles to the consistency. The flavor wasn't bad and needed a little sesame oil. The beef was not tender at all. They need to marinate the beef in baking soda to tenderize the beef. The Orange Chicken was missing something when we first tasted it. It needed more soy sauce. When we added that, it took it to another level. The dish had a nice kick to it which made you want more. The Walnut shrimp was also good. My only complaint is that they do not glaze their walnuts. If they did this, it would really help this dish. Overall, it was alright. I'm not sure the Chinese dishes would bring me back. However, I would be willing to try their bobas and Pho. read more

Here's a sharp but respectful 1-star review you can post: the food was good but I paid for extra I paid $35 for one regular pho and one large pho, but both came in the same small-sized portions. Felt completely ripped off. If I'm paying extra, I expect to actually get what I ordered--not the smallest size for everything. read more

Eat here! I've gotten a few tips in the past to eat here, and I wish I had sooner. The fried summer rolls were delicious, they are served with what seems to be a vinegar based dipping sauce that nicely contrasts the savory flavor of the rolls. I ordered a Vietnamese ham báhn mì and a bowl of bún bò huê' - the soup was absolutely delicious. It was savory and spicy with thin slices of beef and pork sausage and thick noodles, and it came out with all the fresh vegetables a bowl of pho would come with, sprouts, jalapeños, Thai basil, cabbage, and a lime wedge. The sandwich was tasty, but I prefer more pickled vegetables and cilantro, this one was a little on the meaty side. My boba smoothie came out a little later than my food, but it was perfect because it was much more of a dessert (I had water with my meal anyway). My waiter recommended the taro smoothie with black sugar boba - absolutely to die for. The service here was really friendly and prompt, I was well taken care of. The location is easy to find and has plenty of good parking. It looks like you can just pop in for a boba tea if you're not hungry, everything is paid up front at the counter. I can't wait to come back! read more

The food was good. I'm a registered dietitian, so I promote and enjoy food that's good for my body. The food was healthy. However, I wish they had whole grain rice and noodles. I'm usually pretty forgiving, but in cases of extreme greed I have little compassion. We went in and picked up the food. I accidentally let a 15% tip. The lady came out after I had paid and said she forgot to add for the extra broccoli. They insisted I pay the extra $3. The portions were small, especially for the stir fries, but again it was good. See the receipt and pictures. read more

Try their Boboa. And their coffee. I tried their Pho (do the beef, chicken or brisket) and their vermicelli noodles with chicken. It was a lunch break employee luncheon and everyone loved their dishes. As we were all big fans of Thai food, we choose this location because we heard it was good from our other coworkers and we were not disappointed. Get the boba tea to go. Any flavor. They are all top tier. read more

I was nervous to branch out from my favorite pho spot but because they have no delivery services, I went with Pho Bien Hoa for the first time. So so grateful for a wonderful experience! My 28. Rare Beef Pho broth was hot upon arrival, and a couple sips of broth alone confirmed it was just the healing brew I needed. I ordered the extra large portion as I knew I'd want some leftovers and the quantity was perfect. Enough for me to have a portion tonight with a bit more for tomorrows lunch while I'm under the weather. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the side beansprouts, jalepenos, Thai basil and lime were plentiful. I enjoyed every bite/slurp and will certainly save this spot for future delivery! Thank you Pho Bien Hoa! read more

Just meh for me. We all got pho, I got the combination with all the fixings (but it was missing all the fixings) husband got rare beef and brisket and son got just noodles and broth. The brisket was way too fatty with barely any meat, the way it was cut so thick made it hard to want to eat and trust me i love me some good fat. Broth was just ok. Lacked flavor. BUT the customer service was top notch so I'll give them that. read more

Pho Bien Hoa has lost its luster since I last visited. Maybe that can be blamed on Covid-19 but there are telltale signs that there just isn't as much attention to detail as there was previously. Then interior is getting a bit shabby, and the menus are a bit tattered around the edges. The dish tank needs a good interior cleaning and on the exterior, only three of the four neon signs are lit. I ordered the house special pho which overall was decent, but not great. The broth was a bit salty and lacked depth of flavor. And the tendon added to the pho was really mushy and lacked the gelatinous texture that I enjoy. With other pho restaurants in abundance, I'll likely go elsewhere for my future redwood road pho fix. read more

Been here a few times. I got pho and it's flavorful. I have also tried their vermicelli bowl and it was good as well. I don't recommend getting springrolls they are not good. It was literally lettuce and bean sprouts with a shrimp and charsil. I wished they would have included more veggies in their spring roll not just iceberg lettuce. There wasn't much flavor to them. Service was okay but I do understand they are a little short handed but overall place was okay I'll come back here again. Stick to entrees only! read more

I've been here a few times. It's been spotty well today was the worst I came in and ordered. Then 5 minutes later two people walked in that seems like The manger knew. The waiter took their order and got it out 5 minutes later. They tried to sell me adult Juice for my baby to charge more. The. After sitting there for 30+ the waiter comes back and said they lost My order. There were the people who already got service before me and another family at one table All ordered was PHO. idk how they managed that. read more

4.5 in my book. Got it to go and ate half for dinner and half for lunch the next day. Still great reheated. Pretty close to a home cooked Vietnamese meal I've had in SLC. Got the cat fish clay pot, pork loin in caramel sauce and spring rolls (with white rice of course). Everything tasted home made like someone's mom or grandma was in the kitchen. These dishes are pretty traditional Vietnamese household meals that mom/grandma would make regularly so it was great to be able to be lazy and still have it taste like home. Wouldn't hesitate to take my family here if they visited from the OC. read more

We went there for lunch today. We got the curry lunch special and (again) my favorite, the beef and eggplant stir-fry:) I honestly think that's the best eggplant dish I've ever had. Everything on the lunch special (the curry, the ham fried rice and egg roll) were all delicious. It was an abundant amount of food at a really good price. I can't believe how stuffed we were when we left! The service was also really good. The only con: It was freezing in there...but I stole my husband's sweater, so it's all good:) read more

Pho Bien Hoa - Braised Pork in Clay Pot:) - Vietnamese Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

I really used to love this restaurant. I went every week with friends and family. Over time, portions got worse and prices went up, so I stopped going about 4-5 years ago. I saw that they do deliveries through Grubhub, so I decided to try it out again. I shouldn't have. The grilled pork spring rolls had barely any meat in them. 4 thin slices of grilled pork and lots of fillers, like noodles and iceberg lettuce. The grilled pork tasted good, but I've not seen spring rolls that lacking in a very long time. The pho... All noodles. There were exactly 2 pieces of brisket, 1 tendon, 3 small pieces of tripe, and 4 slices of rare beef. (I asked for no meatballs). Keep in mind, this was the extra large. The broth tastes very much like sugar and MSG. To top that all off, they gave me a sprig of basil that looked half rotten. I won't order food from here again. Especially not when there's amazing Vietnamese food all over my area that's cheaper, fresher, and tastier. read more

Went at 8:43 pm and asked for the to go menu. They told me they were closed already. The door said 9:00 pm. Not coming back ever!

We ordered pho, Lo mein, cheese wontons, shrimp lemongrass curry. Our food was served promptly. The place looks much nicer inside than outside. Comfy booths. I really was craving the Thai tea Boba but they were out. Everything was really yummy. We Did have to waive the waiter down to refill our water and get boxes. The cheese wontons filling was super good. I liked the shrimp curry which was served with a bunch of noodles and 6 shrimp, veggies and dressing. It was a healthy feeling light plate for $10. They didn't make us feel rushed at all which I appreciated. read more

I ordered tofu lettuce wraps, fresh rolls and chicken pho. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I actually ordered the lettuce wraps with tofu twice this week. I appreciate they follow requests and left the water chestnuts out like I asked, but they forgot the extra sauce. The crispy rolls are good too. All in all, will stay on the list as my go to for pho. read more

I love this phó place! Def reminds me of the places in California! They have a good selection of dishes on their menu if you're not there for the soup. When I first dined here, I ordered the large (their sizes for the phó is regular, large, and XLarge) Rare steak and meatball and also for the appetizers I had the fresh spring rolls and also their deep fried egg rolls. My husband ordered their pork chop rice plate which included two grilled pork chops, rice, two egg rolls and pickled vegetables w/fish sauce on the side. The broth is amazing! The flavors of the broth together with the meats, noodles and veggies are simply divine. They give you a separate plate of bean sprouts, lime, sliced jalapeños and mint leaves! If you have not had phó, you MUST add all those things(jalapeño optional) and a little bit of oyster sauce(condiments are already in the table), you will NOT be disappointed! I love the fresh spring rolls and also the fried egg rolls of course! The fresh spring rolls has two whole rolls that are cut in half and has a peanut sauce for dipping(so yum)! For the fried egg rolls it come with lettuce leaves and fish sauce which all together is so so good! The pork chop rice plate is good but I personally would have wanted just a bit mire rice to accommodate all the protein and veggies on the plate! Other than that, the rice plate is a thumbs up for me! The reason I gave it a 4 star and not 5 is because of the long wait of the service. The multiple times I have dined there I have waited a long while for our food and having to wave down the server to ask for refills is just a bit tedious. Overall it's a great place to dine or even takeout(they have the option to call in and place an order for pick up or delivery via Grubhub as well), just keep in mind the timeliness of the service if you're in a rush! Happy dining! read more

Great little place to have a lunch date. I was really pleased with the food. I have ordered take out here before but never actually came to dine inside. Glad I did. It was intimate and had lots of plants for a jungle like feel. Not sure how I felt about the TV with Giada on there cooking though. The service was very attentive and helpful. Here is a breakdown on the eats: Fresh Spring Rolls: Large order of fresh, not chewy, rolls with a little shrimp and pork added in for good measure. What really stood out was the peanut sauce for dipping. The peanuts had a "just roasted" flavor to them and really made it stand out. "House Specialty" Pho: The regular sized bowl is very large here. It was chock full of meatball, tendon, brisket, flank and tripe. The broth was flavorful and not greasy. They had plenty of condiments. I also ordered some pickled onions as a garnish. It was the first time I have had them and they add a nice bite to the soup. Grilled Pork and Dried Bean Curd Rice Plate: This dish was so good. The bean curd was very unusual and extremely tasty. It was fried lightly and had a great texture. The pork was seasoned perfectly too. My only complaint was the tomatoes served with the veggies were beat. It boggles my mind that restaurants still serve up something so pale and unflavorful when it is prime tomato harvest time. read more

Waited an hour in an empty restaurant and never got my order. They sat a group behind me 30 minutes after they took my order, which I didn't think anything of, until they brought them their food ten minutes later. I had to leave after that. I felt personally slighted, though I'm sure it was just incompetence. This isn't the first time this has happened here but not to this degree which is the only reason why I'm writing the negative review. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt but since it happened again it might habitually be happening. I hate giving out low scores because I want businesses to thrive. Hopefully, they will view this feedback as an opportunity to get better with their services for other people. Not for me, though. read more

Wanted to try a new pho spot so ended up here. Pass if you can help it because considering the long wait time - your pho will not be hot and if you order the XL pho it might be not proportional to the bowl and other ingredients like we experienced tonight. The meat and veggies did not look fresh. This review is specifically for the pho, try Pho 777. read more

Consistently good food and service! Love love love the bahn mi, pork sausage spring rolls, and pho!

Earlier this Month I wrote a review on another pho restaurant. I thought I would try another one to give balance. Pho Bien Hoa in Taylorsville does a really good job with their pho. As you can see with my pictures the broth is dark and rich prior to adding anything like vegetables or spice. This broth is what pho is known for and can stand on its own. The noodles were plentiful and easy to roll with chopsticks and the meat was prepared correctly. The staff are good and refill your drinks often. I would recommend this restaurant for great food and service. read more

I was beyond excited to see a little Saigon area in salt lake. I didn't know there was enough people here for this. I went here because the reviews are great and I trust my fellows writers. The food was amazing but they lost a point because of one dish. I got a bun bo hue or spicy soup. My noodle was still raw and hard. I asked the server if she could heat it longer to cook the noodles. Well, she came back and the bowl has a plate underneath. She says that it's very hot and I understood why. She microwaved my soup instead of boiling it. Microwave cannot rise enough temperate into cook this type of noodle. They are thick so it needed to be boil longer. I ended up not eating my soup and just ate other dishes on the table. Thank gosh for family style because I'll never go hungry. read more
