I could rate it for Arcata standards but no I'm just gonna rate it. You will get your fix I guess since there are no other options for pho but the portions are small and it's expensive. Soup was cold and one small piece of lime with a bit of mint and the smallest handful of sprouts ever. Oh and they are closed on Mon. They are def a reason that Japhys will never go out of business... read more

The people here are super nice, and usually ask for clarification on your order to get you the right thing. I've had to ask for allergy- special sauces and it's never been an issue (gluten, never gotten sick here). Closed Monday!! read more

Ive been here a handful of times and always had a good experience. The only resturant like it in Arcata so they dont really have competion to compare to. The mango salad was good, spring rolls pretty good. Id say this place is definetly edible but not going to blow your hair back amazing. read more

This place is awesome. Everything I have ever eaten here was made to perfection. This is now the only place I'll go for soup noodles and pho! Their BBQ options are great as well as the vegetarian options! The staff is courteous and very kind :) read more

I'm just now starting to appreciate good Pho, and this restaurant definitely makes me like it even more. I got the vegetarian vermicelli noodles, which came in a massive bowl full of fresh vegetables and tofu. The peanut sauce that came with it was amazing. My boyfriend got the vermicelli noodle chicken soup, which was also fantastic. The waiter was really friendly too. Great place! read more

Never had Vietnamese food before going to this place, and Pho Hoang is very tasty and different. The soups are amazing and the spring rolls with peanut sauce is exceptional. The restaurant could be bigger since I had to wait outside for 30mins (which is why I'm omitting a star) but the wait was well worth it. Go eat there! read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Humboldt County. The pho is outstanding and is available in many varieties. The spring rolls are tasty with the peanut sauce. Good selection of beer, including the "El River IPA" (that would be Eel River IPA). Nice, friendly staff; good, fast service. Don't rush over, however; the restaurant is closed during the month of June, after the Humboldt State students go home for the summer (it's walking distance from the campus, on the other side of Highway 101), and will reopen on July 2. read more

Needed a boba fix and I had to check this place out. Had the chicken pho and it was good! Can't wait to come back and try something new. read more

Pho Hoang - The C1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Arcata, California

Great food! Never let down when I go, would recommend. My favorite item is their P18, the spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup. There's a variety of options and extremely fast service! read more

Best pho in arcata. Always consistently perfect. Staff is friendly and attentive. Spring rolls are delish! They come with a killer sweet peanut sauce. Had coconut shrimp last time and it was the best choice we've made since coming here! They had a wonderful crunch and they had removed the tails, a plus for us! Came with a coconut curried sauce that we couldn't stop dipping EVERYTHING in haha. Seafood Pho is my favorite read more

Eh.. I don't have much luck with Pho.. Ordered a to-go chicken Pho for my sick boyfriend and then ended up having to add spices and flavor to it. The service was good especially for how busy they were but not coming back here.. Friends seem to enjoy it though. read more

We like Pho Thien Long in Eureka better, but if you don't want to drive all the way there it is a good bet. The vegetarian curry and the spring rolls are my favorite dishes. Very good, attentive service and decent prices. read more

The Pho is pretty good but not the best I've had. The spring rolls and coconut shrimps were pretty good. The place is busy and noisy but not so much that you can't have a conversation. Waiters are working hard and running around to serve everyone fast. read more

Food is ok! I have had better Vietnamese cuisine in the Humboldt area. First impression when I walked in reminded me of those Carl's jr commercials. You know, the ones where you can hear the food moving around in someone's mouth because they keep there mouth open the whole time. That wasn't coming from the customers eating, it was from the servers having lunch. I'm sorry but after working on a farm for part of my life the employees eating there lunch at 11:30 didn't sound to far off from pigs eating out of a troth! It was very distracting and inconsiderate! Sluurrrrrrp! Smack! Smack! Gulp! Cough! Sluurrrrp! Seriously gross! read more

This place has really good food. I've had the spring rolls which are fresh with mint and a yummy sweet peanut dipping sauce. It is within a block of an AMRTS bus stop and a few blocks uphill from the RTS bus stop. I only wish they didn't use Styrofoam takeout containers. As far as I know this is the only pho/Vietnamese place in Arcata, so it is a very nice addition to the restaurant options here. This place is nice for a date or with friends. They do close sometimes for holiday breaks, so if it's holiday time, you may want to call ahead to make sure they are open. I think last summer they were gone for like a month or so. read more

I have been to this place three times in the past two years. The first two times I ate here the service was okay along with the food, but this last time I ate here the service was terrible and my sister's food tasted like top ramen with little amounts of seafood. We ordered our food and I specifically said I wanted the vegetarian noodle soup. I was the last to get my food and out came a vegetarian noodle plate and I told the guy that I ordered soup and he told me no, I ordered the noodle plate. My friends and sister backed me up and said "she ordered the soup." The man looked so mad he took it back and said fine. My soup came out so fast I questioned if they really cook fresh food or not. The whole time we were eating our waitress checked on us once, the only nice person was the bus boy with the water. She couldn't even look me in the eye and I apologized for the mix up even though it was her fault. All in all it was a terrible experience and I have never been to a restaurant this bad before. read more

Food is usually pretty good. However, on Thursday night all out to go food had flat leaf parsley instead of cilantro. Odd considering the shopper and the cook would have seen it? To go is always risky I guess. read more

Good food. My yellow curry was great! Service is fast, even on weekend- rush hour. Decent parking, plus wild-berries lot is close by. Conveniently located right of the free way entrance to 101 south. The service can be more cordial, though. read more

I have been meaning to write a review!!! So yummy : ) Delicious! From Orange County, so I am SPOILED when it comes to pho, and I have to enjoy pho at least once per week... I will say that sometimes this joint is out of basil or onions but it's no biggie because their broth is savory and delicious. I've brought my family here and have ordered out so many times for my friends visiting from home and for my family from the East Coast and each person has loved it. Their noodle dishes are great too...also I especially adore their chili spicy chicken wings (when they have them!!!) I've been bummed when they have run out before. Delish, I am happy with this place since there really aren't any great Vietnamese joints in Arcata, and when I move back to OC I will fondly remember this spot. read more

I ate here for the first time. Not impressed. Service was practically non existent. The food was bland.

Food was okay ... chili sauce for spring roll was watery and flavorless but the roll was good. They also charged an additional $2 per pick up order because my bill was more than I anticipated when I called it in. No biggie but they should be upfront. I think because they are across from HSU and get the college crowd they don't have to worry to much about consistency. read more

We loved it :) pho super delicious and the customer service very very friendly we will be back !!!

Very good. I had seafood soup. A lot of seafood. I will return. Nice and clean dining room. Over all great experience.

The food is pretty decent for arcata... not too bad, not amazing... the customer service is awful

We have eaten here twice and were very happy both times. Almost as good as Pho Thien Long in Eureka. We ordered rice plates and vermicelli bowls. Service was fast, water glasses were constantly refilled, bbq beef was excellent (not fatty). Hubby liked that the beer glasses were chilled. Love the spring rolls with peanut sauce. Happy to have new Asian cuisine restaurant in Arcata. read more

The food came out lightning fast, faster than fast food! Friday night, full house, and we got all of our food in under 5 minutes of ordering, impressive. We were also asked a number of times if everything was good and our water glasses were refilled instantly. Thats a lot to say for a restaurant, especially in Arcata! Veggie spring rolls were good, veggie fried rice was delicious but probably contained chicken stock, veggie pho was good - steaming hot (im not one to complain about getting HOT food at a restaurant) with good veggies but definitely contained bonito flakes (fish), and the broth was average. The avocado smoothie with rainbow chunks was good but a little overly sweet. We left full and happy, but my stomach was yelliing at me well into the next day for eating soup with bonito in it. Not bad, but the veg pho and veg fried rice might not the best choices for true vegetarians. read more

Love this place! I eat here at least once a week and I love their pho and spring rolls. Good service and quick food.

My first time eating Vietnamese food, yum! Our hungry bellies were not disappointed. My husband had been missing pho, having lived in Vancouver for years. This was the ultimate comfort food for him. Eat at this place. read more

Had the Pho and it was really good. Also the cuts of meat in it were plentiful and good tasting as well. A big step up from the few other Vietnamese Restaurants in the area. read more

i would rather go to japhy's any day of the week! not bad for pho in arcata... but japhy's noodles are the illest.. but I'm not down on pho hoang,, the food comes fast and hot and the people running it are on they're toes... I'm gonna give it 4 stars,, and I'm usually a 5star kinda girl... read more

I love this place. The people that work here are very nice. They have a big menu. I've never have this cuisine before. I enjoy trying new dishes. This time I had steak, and meatball soup. It was very good. They have fast service. We will definitely be back. read more

They were extremely slow at getting our order we were basically ignored for over 15 minutes. Just as we were about to leave they came to take out order.They got mad at my friend when she was ordering just because she wanted to talk add bubble to her milk tea. They did not expedite the food at the same time I got mine and she got hers about 10 minutes later. They never asked how we were doing with our meals they never refilled out waters. We had to go up to register to ask for box's because they were ignoring us still. Terrible service. Never coming here again. read more

Wow. The waiter proceeded to put down my date right in front of me when she asked a few questions about the food. This is not the first time Ive had issues with service here. read more

The food was not good at all. Nothing tasted fresh. I can't wait to go home to Southern California and have fresh good food. The bathroom was gross. It was not a good experience, read more

Went for the Pho, which was good, as most Pho is. But then we saw the red curry. Sadly, they were out that night, so my wife went back the next day. And it was like crack cocaine. So she went back again. Might turn into an expensive habit. Hopefully she doesn't end up toothless and living in a cardboard box near the restaurant, never to bring leftovers home again. Because we'd really miss that curry. read more

This place is pretty good. If you're looking for Pho in Humboldt county, this place is the one. I mean it's not THE BEST but it's definitely better than other places. I like it, the wait staff is friendly and I've never had a bad time. read more

Not that great. A minimal amount of ingredients in a large bowl of pho. Not particularly authentic, more like "American pho". Seemed very pricey at $9.50. I won't come back. Only redeeming thing was the service. read more

Not bad for the area, the only Vietnamese place in town. Just OK food but service is fine : )

Sad to report that the standard of the food here is getting worse. The pho was good at initial opening years ago, but after yesterday visit, my friends and I agreed that this restaurant is now off the list. We are from south east Asia so we know what good authentic noodles dish should taste like. The broth used to taste home made, but now it taste like instant stuff sold by restaurant outlet. The quality of the papaya salad and HK style noodle has also gone downhill. read more

I enjoyed everything I ordered. The bbq beef egg roll, vermicelli bowl was delicious. The establishment was clean and well stocked. I thought it was reasonably priced The staff was courteous and helpful. two thumbs up. I will go back and explore the menu happily. : D read more
