    Spring rolls came with 3.
    Amy R.

    Hidden gem in Bethlehem. Went there for pho, which was delicious, will come back to try more menu items. Street/meter parking out front. If you don't want to pay the meter I'm sure you can find parking in the side streets and walk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We're greeted when we walked in and was able to choose where to sit. Good amount of seating option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fast and friendly. Very welcoming. We order pho w/flank. Broth was very good. We also ordered crispy spring rolls. Also very good. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some good pho.

    We were looking for a place in the former steel town of Bethlehem. On a relatively quiet area, we came across the Pho Bowl when looking for the temporarily closed Kinoa. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food which is more Saigon. style. The portions were generous and quality was high. My only gripe regarded the lack of authenticity- the shrimps were peeked and the spring rolls lacked the usual bean sprout and basilkeaf garnish. Furthermore, the Tom Yum sauces was somewhat bland, lacking the usual distinctive lemongrass and citrus flavors likely to please American tastes. They also had popular Thai specialties such as Pad Thai. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was efficient and the ambience basic but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A good c h oice for Bethlehem, especially when away from the major shopping streets.

    Friendly, fast, fresh & delicious are just a few ways to describe Pho Bowl. We go with the seasons here. Spring/Summer Bun and Spring rolls. Fall/Winter there signature dish - Pho and when they have the Vietnamese Beef Stew.

    At Pho Bowl, you're greeted with friendly service and a cozy ambiance. My go to is their beef broths - very rich and flavorful, without the heavy MSG use like other places. The bone broth is what provides the authentic and comforting meal. Pho Bowl is the go-to spot for Vietnamese food for me in the area! Rate: 3.5 Stars!

    Pho House Special
    David S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We really enjoy Pho Bowl for the relaxed atmosphere, kind service, large portion sizes, great value, and most importantly, delicious food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The spring rolls were fresh and crispy. The Pho House Special is a great go-to, and the Bees Noodle Soup Hue Style is great for those looking for a spicier soup.

    Tom Yum soup

    Papaya salad was very good. Tom Yum soup too spicy for me , even though only one chili indicater; it tasted more like 2 chilis. I requested napa, carrot and scallions, but there were no mushroom or onion slices, which is how it comes. I also had fried basil rice with chicken in it. I forgot already. Red curry with chicken, yellow curry with chicken, beef pho and curry puffs were pretty good. Curry dishes needed salt. Seafood rolls were served very hot. Friend really liked them. Rice vermicelli seasoned with fish sauce was okay. Noodles were cold Best part of rice vermicelli was grilled chicken.

    Bahn mi was on point! Bread was a great combination of soft and firm. Perfect amount of pork and vegetables.
    Allison J.

    Pleasantly surprised how good this place is! More importantly, the staff were very friendly. I just ordered take out but was treated very hospitably. They even opened the door for me on my way out. It's these small details that make me want to come back again. I almost didn't go here because of one terrible Bahn mi review but remembered that a lot of Yelpers are miserable trolls and have nothing better to do but hate on hard-working entrepreneurs. The food was excellent! I ordered a Tom Yum soup and Summer Rolls. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well-priced and great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm definitely going to be back a lot more.

    Wouldn't take us in even though we came in well before closing. Kind of annoying, but the food seems decent.

Our dinner started with spring rolls that were delicate and fresh; the cabbage filling was crunchy complimented the crispy shell. Our main courses of pad-thai, drunken noodles and different curries was deeply flavorful. The spice complemented these dishes in a way that created complex flavor without murdering your tastebuds. The red curry with chicken blended beautifully with the jasmine rice and was our favorite dish. The noodle dishes were also excellent and pleasing. One final thought in the food - the fried rice. Every Asian restaurant has fried rice so when I tell you that this fried rice stood out as one of the best I've had, you should think about how much fried rice that contrasts against and it still rose to the top of that list. The service was good. The place is a sit down restaurant that does a good amount of takeout business so the server was busy to say the least. This may be why our appetizer came out with the main dishes -- not the end of the world but definitely kills the vibe slightly. Overall, this is a great restaurant that will satisfy your Thai cravings with some of the best food you can find.
