I love good pho, and I love not having to drive far (or at all) to get it! I like spicy foods, but not stupid spicy foods. The Curry Chicken Pho was the perfect level of spice, and the perfect size, too (at least for a hungry, food-lovin' 26-year-old like myself). My favorite part about my visit though was how flawlessly the server put my girlfriend's leftover pho into a to-go container. He was the embodiment of calm, cool and collected. Flawless execution. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the ambiance really isn't anything special. It's good, don't get me wrong, but not five stars good. read more

There was a DEAD FLY in my broth to go container. As I poured the broth into a new container to hear it, there it was! Ew, and I tried calling to get reimbursed and no one would answer. Safe to say not coming back & not eating this soup. read more

Pho Crimson - A dead fly - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Service: Friendly wait staff and servers Ambiance: The restaurant is pretty large and there are plenty of tables for parties of various sizes (1-6 people). I did notice a lot of dirty tables around me long after folks have left. Food: The pho was decent, but it wasn't anything amazing! The flavor profile was a bit bland. I did appreciate that the restaurant was very generous with their noodles, and beef. read more

I got a pork bahn mi from here and was overall disappointed The bread was great and the meat was seasoned well but there were multiple chewy bites of the meat that took away from the experience. I got take out and service was fine and the meal was ready at the approximate time. I do not think I will return here. read more

I'm just beginning to explore Vietnamese food and so far I like it. This is a convenient location with ample parking and excellent service.

I ordered takeout here so will just be reviewing the food. A great Vietnamese spot in uptown Dallas that has all of your favorites. From pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, dumplings, and banh mi. I got the vermicelli bowl with a choice of protein, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, chopped peanuts, in a fish sauce. The dish was really delicious and the portion size was pretty generous as well. It's easy to order and didn't take too long to get our food. A spot I would definitely go back to again. read more

Pho was very good but they could come with a little more noodles. Very nice spot to go eat with friends or family. Staff is very nice and food is prepared quickly. read more

Pho Crimson - Crimson's Special Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pho Crimson Cafe is located in Dallas. There isn't designated parking for the restaurant, so you will need to find street parking, or a parking garage in the area. We were able to find parking around the corner. Upon arrival, it was not busy. There was maybe one or two other groups seated already once we arrived. Our group of two was seated quickly. My boyfriend and I decided to order the Crimson Wings (5 chicken wings deep fried and toss with salt and pepper) to share. The chicken wings were smaller than I expected and pretty dry. We each ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was fine. Nothing special about it. It was quite concentrated. I ordered the Crimson's Special Pho and he ordered the Tom Yum Pho. The pho were both good, but again nothing special. I found it pretty odd that when we received our pho, the bean sprouts, jalapenos, etc. that usually come on a side dish were already in the bowls. Not sure if that's normal for this restaurant given the table we were seated at was SMALL and there was no room for another dish. read more

Great pho place in uptown Dallas! The curry chicken pho is insanely good. A bit pricey by my standards, but worth it as you get so much chicken, noodles, and vegetables in one dish. Enough to share with someone else. The vibe is pretty relaxed and casual. Great for an easy weeknight dinner and the staff is always super friendly and willing to explain the menu to you. read more

Excellent customer service, amazingly very tasty food, casual ambiance, reasonable prices and simple menu. Family friendly and good for groups. Parking close to the facility, and located in a well maintained and lighted aeea. They do offer to-go service. read more

Disappointing Customer Service Experience I wanted to share my daughter's experience from visiting Pho Crimson Cafe yesterday. Unfortunately, the service was very poor and left a bad impression. She asked for a plate of vegetables to be served separately, and the waiter flat-out told her "No," saying the cooks and chef would get mad at him. That response alone felt unprofessional and unnecessary. When her stew arrived, it tasted unusually sweet -- and since she's very sensitive to sugar, she mentioned this to the waiter and asked if there was any sugar in it. Instead of trying to help or check with the kitchen, he insisted there was no sugar and refused to remove the dish from her bill when she said she couldn't eat it. Overall, she left disappointed and frustrated. The waiter's attitude was dismissive and unhelpful, and the lack of basic customer care really stood out. A restaurant experience should never make you feel uncomfortable for simply asking a polite question or expressing a concern. Hopefully management takes steps to improve both their customer service and communication with guests. read more

I miss Bruce. He always made sure the quality of the food was good and that everyone was properly taken care of. I'm not at all a picky eater, but I am a big believer of food being made correctly if you're paying for it, especially in this economy. The quality of food and service has dropped here and it's making my friends and I consider finding a new pho location, which would be heartbreaking considering we have been coming here for years and have shared many memories and full stomachs here. read more

Very small portions with stale rice and hard chicken.. There were no condiments or cutlery. I ordered extra vegetables and got two small pieces of broccoli. read more

I have been coming here since they open. I'm so glad they are still in business so many restaurants around there have shut down. Literally the best pho in uptown !!! I'm a coffee addict and I always have to get their Vietnamese coffee. Staff is friendly , attentive even though when I go it's pretty empty between 2-4 lol but hands down best pho ever ! read more

Not authentic pho! My fav place for pho in Dallas area was closed so I decided to give this a try. The prices for pho was $13-$16 which is pushing it but only valid if the food was above average. The portions are bigger and what was weird was that they put all the toppings IN the soup versus on the side. It made everything kind of soggy. The broth it self was bland and very greasy. The sides of my bowl was stained with yellow oil. I see other similar reviews so I'm sure it's not just me. Service and seating was great but I'd rather recommend Vietnam Restaurant nearby. This is very mid greasy overpriced and not authentic pho.. read more

Pho Crimson - Pho in MY bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Whew man this pho was so trash!! The broth tasted like the soup you get at hospital when you're on a liquid diet ! Nothing was fresh at all ! The basil was black , didn't give no green onion for topping , bean sprouts were soft small little container of broth . Veggie spring rolls were so bad it's only iceberg lettuce , carrots n cu number and every last veggie was old and wilted bad no fresh , crisp at all . Peanut sauce was wack too! Sooooo disappointed and dissatisfied, on top of the lady chasing me out the door to pay when I ordered and paid online . Pho vietz is so much fresh and better ! I'll take the 20m drive to go there next time for my pho fix read more

Honestly the Pho here just simply sucks. It has so much oil and does not taste good at all - I came here because my favorite Pho spot is closed on Mondays and this Pho doesn't even compare. I didn't even bother finishing it. The service was fine. read more

Pho Crimson - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pho Crimson is my favorite phô place in Dallas, I've taken several people there to prove a point! Pho Crimson is located right on the corner of Blackburn and McKinney Ave in the cutest little area. You can't really pick a bad item on the menu honestly. My favorite thing is the Curry Chicken Bowl and the shrimp spring rolls! The service is always very fast and accurate, as well! read more

This used to be my favorite place for banh mi and spring rolls but after finding an ENTIRE FAKE NAIL in my chicken spring rolls, I will never eat here again. Ordered on 06/18/25. Whoever was working in the kitchen was NOT wearing gloves, and she lost an entire baby pink almond shaped fake nail :) read more

Amazing pho!! I am so confused by the current mid rating this restaurant has. I have had a lot of pho and this place is my favorite in Dallas. Amazing flavors and options. The Thai iced tea is also delicious! Highly recommend this spot. read more

Not sure why the average reviews. I am addicted to their Bun Bo soup. Some of the best I've ever had. Has such great flavor - highly recommend. read more

We've passed this place so many times but never tried them out, today we stopped in. Best decision ever!! We arrived around 1:30ish so traffic was dying down. They had a good music playlist going which I enjoyed. Very clean inside with a nice atmosphere. For the food- We started off with the pork spring rolls, so good!! I ordered Chicken Pho and my husband ordered Beef Lo Mein. Again, so good and delicious! The portions are very generous and worth the price. I didn't get the guys name but he showed us to our table and waited on us. He was so friendly and attentive. I wanted to try the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and he was so helpful lol he wanted to make sure I didn't drink it in one gulp and give myself a panic attack. It's very strong but OMGOSH!! Delicious!! It def woke me up! We'll be back! Loved it. read more

Very overpriced for what you receive! Small portions. You'll probably still be pretty hungry afterwards so I would suggest getting another dish there or going to McDonald's afterwards. The food tastes good though! Service was okay and parking was pretty easy, there is a free parking garage quite close to the restaurant. Ambiance was just okay, I think if they didn't play loud music and from a proper speaker, it would be improved. read more

Pho Crimson - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

While the focus of the menu is Vietnamese with features such as Pho, Bahn Mi and Spring Rolls, they also offer a variety of other Southeast Asian dishes, including; Pad Thai, Lo Mein and Korean BBQ. There's even a very unique Korean BBQ Burrito! The décor is warm and relaxed, with an upscale urban feel, and the service is very prompt and friendly. I began my meal with a Grilled Pork Spring Roll and a Peach Tea with Jelly (if you're not accustomed to this sort of drink, it's not like the jelly you'd smear on bread, it's like little, firm cubes of Jell-o). The Spring roll was filled with delicious Grilled Pork accompanied by crunchy sticks of Carrot and Cucumber, Fresh Shredded Lettuce and a tasty Peanut Sauce for dipping. The Tea was very refreshing. It was like I could taste the fuzz of the Peach, and I got pieces of Jelly in each sip! It was difficult to select my main dish. Pho and Bahn Mi both sounded so good, and I love Lo Mein and Pad Thai, but I just couldn't resist trying the Korean BBQ Burrito! Come on! Grilled Pork Short Rib with Kimchi, Rice and Grilled Onions and Jalapeno wrapped in a Burrito! How can I NOT order that!? Now don't expect a giant burrito the size of your head, but this isn't loaded with a lot of Lettuce and Refried Bean filler either! All the flavors were represented with nearly every bite, but it was a little difficult to keep together, so I'd advise small bites. I don't get to Dallas very often, but this place is worth the trip. Bold flavors that you don't get everywhere. I have got to plan another trip to West Village for the Pho or a Bahn Mi! read more

The chicken was extremely dry and tasteless (super hard to chew). I added sriracha and hoisin sauce with lemon and other toppings. The noodles were fresh. The broth lacked flavor (chicken broth). Disappointed as my friend told me this was one of the best pho they had but i didn't like it. I ordered in because I was sick and was craving something soupy/brothy. read more

Pho Crimson - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Not the spot for authentic pho but decent food for what was open around the area. I got the brisket pho and the broth was pretty bland. Their Thai tea was also just okay. We visited on New Year's Eve during the day and were seated immediately. They had plenty of seating and were not crowded at all. Service was fast, but our server was a bit rude. One person in our party asked to order last in the group and our server rolled her eyes at us. read more

Food is always good but if you get here any less than 30 minutes to closing they wont seat you and only allow for take out Pretty bad service standard Maybe change your hours to a time that you want customers to dine with you. read more

This food straight bussssinnn, the rare beef brisket is so good, I love the curry pho but the chicken on it isn't really too good because it doesn't taste like anything, the drinks are so good, the staff is always so sweet. The only thing is it's always kind of dark in there but the food is so good read more

Ordered my food to go so I am only reviewing the food. The food is made fresh and tasted as such. I got the Korean BBQ and it was so delicious. The dish comes with Rice, Kimchi and BBQ short ribs. It was flavorful, amazing, and I 100% recommend. read more

Pho Crimson - a plate of meat and rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

3rd time here and the food was horrible every visit. This 3rd time I tried the Teriyaki Beef. OMG.. the rice was old and hard, the beef very tough as if it was cooked yesterday then reheated today and stir fried with onions. I explained it to the server and she said "someone earlier said the same thing". There was no offer to replace it with anything else but she quickly made sure I got the check. This was their last shot for me being a customer. read more

Pho Crimson was just ok. The restaurant is located at a busy intersection and easy to find. After reading several reviews from other yelpers, my family decided to give it a try. I had the tom yum pho soup. I wish I could pinpoint why I thought it was average but it's just a little bit of everything. The seafood in the soup texture was off maybe previously frozen or defrosted and refrozen. I am not too sure. the soup lacked the strong lemon grass flavoring I would expect from a tom yum soup. I don't remember seeing any kaffir or tasting it either. Instead it was tomato and salt mainly. The noodles were average, veggies- average, portion -average, service - average. The atmosphere did remind me of some great pho places I've been too. Roof was leaking, bathrooms are dirty but unfortunately the food didn't stack up. Overall, it'll scratch the noodle soup itch but it won't have you wanting more. Life is too short for another mediocre meal. read more

Good food good atmosphere. Server kept my drink full. Plan on going there tonight. Easy in and out

NEVER AGAIN!! Ordered chicken Pho last night and got horrible cramps and diarrhea. My food came first then 15 minutes later my wife's food arrived. She got cramps also. There were two other tables at the restaurant. Poor service, badly handled food or not clean kitchen. Definitely a place to avoid. read more
