Pho Crystal is just down the road and it's our "Go To" spot whenever we're hungry for Vietnamese fare. Nam and her family own and run the restaurant very efficiently as it seems all of Allen dine here and the restaurant gets very crowded at lunch & dinner. We always get the same menu choice of pho noodles and an order of spring rolls. Both very filling portions that come out piping hot. The spring rolls are delicious especially with the peanut and plum sauces to accompany. What I like about this place is the neighborhood atmosphere and Nam doesn't forget you so it has a "Cheers" like feeling when you walk in. I've lived in Allen for 40 years and with a big town booming with lots of dining spots, Pho Crystal can't be beat! read more

Love this place! It is always a treat to go by when I am in the area. The peanut sauce is amazing!!!

A great way to end the day with a soothing bowl of Pho. We had appetizers, we have different dishes, and we loved it all read more

It's true when they say that the best, most authentic restaurants have 3-star reviews. I went to this restaurant at 5pm on a Saturday. It was busy. It took a long time for us to even get a waiter to talk to us because the waiters were all preparing soups, and giving it to 3 other tables. But even though my stomach grumbling for food (I hadn't eaten in 5 hours), the food was delicious. The only con I have for the food is that there was more soup than I prefer. That is the only thing that makes me not want to come back here, but everyone should give this place a chance at least once. I was able to talk to my friend without asking her to repeat herself. There was no music playing, just families and friends talking to each other. This place felt so humble, so if you're looking for a place to eat in Fairview that is not a usual noisy, unhealthy restaurant, this is the one! read more

Little hidden gem in Fairview...very close to the outlet. Awesome pho noodle and soup. The beef was nicely cut that it didn't have huge chunk of fat attached. Meatball was good. Definitely will return and take some pictures next time. read more

The noodles were way over done and the broth was close to flavorless , I highly don't recommend coming here at all . I don't know how they have 4 stars . Ordered a small and a large bowl of pho and they expected us to share a plate of veggies . Please don't come here unless you like bland pho . read more

Excellent food and service. One of the best in town. Small family restaurant with tight seatings that

We ordered take out here using their order online option. Food was well packaged, great portion size and everything fresh. When I arrived to pick up the food was ready and every table was full. They seem to do a great sit down business and the restaurant was lively and clean. We'll order here again. read more

I go to this place weekly. 2-3 times a week to be exact. My favorite pho place in Dallas. I always get the P6 which is brisket and flank steak. Broth, amazing. Meat, tender and amazing. Everything else falls in line! The service is great as well, they are nice and funny. It's a small place but they're doing pretty well with it! Love this place and will forever be my first stop for Pho' read more

Pho Crystal - Spicy Chicken Curry Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairview, Texas

Best pho choice in north Texas (except for Helton City) - excellent service and great menu options

Their Pho, bowls and sandwiches are all delicious and authentic with generous portions and reasonable prices.

I love the Curry chicken Pho, it's the best I've had! Hubby and I have to have it at least once a week, it's so soothing and flavorful.

I was looking for a place that has Pho comparable to Oishii and I did!! The combination beef Pho is delicious ! But you have to request meatballs be added. The staff is great and they remember your face! read more

We wanted something healthy before shopping at Allen Outlet Mall and decided to try Pho Crystal since there were good reviews. I ordered the P2 Pho and my husband ordered the shrimp egg noodle dish both in a size large. When we got our bowl of soup, it looked like they have downsized the soup bowls because our soup bowls looked more like a small bowl that you would send to kids. They were also skimpy on the meat too. My pho broth tasted on the sweeter side which I don't really care for, the same with my husband's soup broth. The bowl was so small it only took us around five bites and we were done with our soup. We definitely will not be coming back to this pho house. read more

Pho Crystal - This is supposed to be their size large bowl, but it looked more like a small bowl they serve to kids. They must have downsized - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairview, Texas

The pho is always great and comes with fresh garnishes. The pork chops are also amazing. Don't forget to get the Thai iced tea. The staff is friendly and always welcomes you back and this restaurant truly feels like returning home. Make sure you come early because the restaurant gets full but the quality of the food is worth the wait every time. read more

Honey, stop the damn car! We don't need to drive to Garland anymore to get yummy Vietnamese food! Found one in Fairview, only 7 miles away! Woot, woot! Since arriving in McKinney,Texas last Oct 2021, we have been in search of new restaurants similar to our California favorites. One of them is the Vietnamese cuisine. So far, we have not found one that has knocked us off our feet with flavor....until yesterday when we stopped at Crystal Pho! Wooo! Finally, the perfect flavor of Pho broth which I absolutely loved and remember when I was still in California! It was sooooo Phobulous!!! And let me tell you about their pan fried noodles with seafood. When I ordered it, I asked for extra sauce/gravy. We were assured that it will have enough already. It sure did and it exploded with flavor!!! Message to the owner: Whoever is doing all the cooking in your kitchen, DO NOT LET HIM/HER GO...ever! Your chef is creating all sorts of SEXY Vietnamese flavors in that kitchen! See you soon! read more

Just to preface my review, I come from a Vietnamese family but I am Caucasian. The Pho is good but could be a little more authentic. The service is ok, they take your order, drop it off and that's the last they check on you, until it's time for the check. read more

We were the only ones there. The broth was good, but the noodles, meat, etc was premade and not good, and we paid way too much.

My wife and I, have been going to this location for past 4 years. And I have noticed that the owner is very rude and disrespectful. Today, my wife placed an order through Uber, and it got canceled after 40 mins. We ended up calling the restaurant to do order pick up. The owner first word was " we are close and no more order" even though it was 7:00pm. I have noticed this in person when my wife and I were dining in month ago. I would not recommend this place at all due to lack of customer service. read more

Been coming here for years. Just love everything on the menu. Tiny place with very nice service. Check it out!

Food was good but the service was bad. The person who brought out the food was friendly and nice but the lady who greeted us and took our order acted like she had better things to do. We won't be back. read more

I visited this place to get some pho for my sister. She said it was some of the best she has ever had. So I will definitely come back and try something myself. read more

Awesome place to get great Pho. My favorite is the Pho Chicken Curry!

I was looking for a good pho place in Allen/ McKinney area and this was it! The service was fast and the food was good! Reminded me of pho bac in Richardson read more

Surprisingly, my parents love coming here when they're in town. Didn't know they liked pho so much. Service here is typically mediocre. They come by once to take your order and that's pretty much it. I came here the other day with my parents and not only did they make us move tables after we already sat down, they didn't even ask us about water or really acknowledge us until we were sitting there a few minutes looking around for someone to come get to at least get our food order. Slightly annoying but not bad enough to make me give this place a bad rating. The pho here is good! It comes out super fast. I always get the regular sized bowl special combination beef pho. My dad gets the large and our respective sized bowls fill us both up. I've gotten the Thai tea here once. When I ask for no ice, they put less Thai tea in my cup.. pretty typical of an asian place I guess. In my opinion, it's not worth. It looked like a decent amount when put in their cute glass cup, but when I was taking it to go and I poured it in a to-go cup, it barely filled half of the cup (and I only drank a few sips). I could pay the same amount at another boba place and get two times the amount. I'll come here for the pho, but I will get my Thai tea fixing elsewhere in the future. read more

Our friends recommended we meet them here. Kind of an out of the way place in an unremarkable shopping center. They were referred by a Vietnamese colleague for its authentic meals. WOW, the food was excellent and the menu has something for everyone! The Pho is excellent, but so was the Basil Chicken with Flat Noodles! My wife wanted crispy noodles and they made something off the menu to accommodate her. The staff was great and we had a lot of fun with them! We will DEFINITELY return! read more

The S4 - Curry chicken rice noodle pho is AMAZING. This is my favorite soup. You gotta try it.

Having just moved to Allen, TX...I was on the hunt for good Pho. I use my ol Yelp app and find a place 2 miles from home with 4 1/2 star rating, it didn't disappoint. I've eaten there 3 times in 9 days. Big Smile The beef is thinly sliced, more so than the other places I've tried. The flavor and aroma, simply delightful. They have several bowl sizes and I opted for Xtra Large...It was excellent and the staff was great...I got teased because my eyes watered up (with the spicy)...lol. I love this lil place. Seating can be tricky at lunch...I got "to go" today and the meat was raw, how cool... It's cooked by the broth, that was a new experience for me. read more

Couldn't get thru on the phone so we drove over to place a to go order. They were very nice. Took our order which is much appreciated since they were super busy and short staffed. The spicy seafood soup was spicy and full of lots of seafood. The chicken soup hit the spot. Very flavorful and loaded with lots of chicken and noodles. We will def come back again. Keep up the good work!!!! read more

My favorite pho place in McKinney. It's family owned and you can taste the love and hugs through the broth. My go to order--XL combination pho with spicy broth. this is my go to when feeling sick, down, extra hungry, unsure of my cravings for the day. You can order online or call in (those phones stay busy cause they are usually packed). Give them grace if you need to call a few more times. read more

Pho Crystal - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairview, Texas

We were craving Vietnamese food and came here per a recommendation from a friend who lives in the area. We tried a variety of different dishes and it was all for about a $100. We tried the following: taro smoothie (a bit grainy, I would not get it again), shrimp egg rolls (very good), grilled lemongrass pork chop (was OK), wonton noodle soup (OK), pho bo hue (OK), spicy pho bo hue (VERY spicy), Bo Ko (good), mi xao don (good), tapioca dessert (good, but too much ice), curry fried rice with tofu (good), ca ri ga (good) and iced coffee (good). I would definitely get the egg rolls and the fried rice again. read more

Pho Crystal - Egg rolls, pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairview, Texas

Everything was great and service was fine but the food is very overpriced. 2 bowls of pho and one appetizer and our bill was $55....Turns out the pho was $20 each despite saying $14 on the menu and the app was another $15 despite saying $10 on the menu. False pricing on the menu shouldn't even be legal. read more
