    Large pho
    Dani S.

    I was in the area by the Co op so I was planning on having pho there. Come to find out they didn't open till 6. We didn't want to wait an hour so we headed to another pho joint. Unfortunately they were closed so Pho Le it was. They were poppin tonight. Winter and pho is always the perfect combination. Servers were busy handling to go orders and dining customers. I was greeted and was told to pick a table. My server came, dropped off my utensils and menu. I ordered the cha gio today. I wasn't going to make the same mistake as my last visit and order the large bowl. I ordered the medium chicken pho. The cha gio came out hot! They were crispy and flavorful! To be honest, the filling to wrapper ratio was off and they were pretty small. You also got 1 piece of lettuce for your egg rolls. They were decent but not for the price of 7 bucks. My pho looked beautiful. The broth was clean and clear. There were nice pieces of chicken and a good amount of noodles. I just wish the broth was a little hotter. It was hot like it's been sitting on a flame but not pipping how like they boiled it before they poured it into my bowl. Overall, service was good and food was decent. I'm pretty sure I'll be back and have another bowl of pho.

    Wow service was fast though we were 3ish in arriving. I loved that the beef Pho came in various sizes and even offered a spicy broth for a slight up charge. Inside was clean throughout and if you want a high quality food offering without going through a tone of pages visit this location on Broadway. Our group of 5 were fed well, no one left hungry. The Thai Ice tea tasty on this warm day. It was my first visit, I will visit again when I'm back in Boise.

    If more than you order pho - you don't get your own plate of sprouts or garnishments. They charge you $2 extra even tho they say it is suppose to be free and come with the meal. Also, pho just has meatballs and steak. If you want additional items like tendon you pay extra. My large pho, as pictured, cost me $21 Pho didn't even taste like legit pho across the street. Do not go here. This is not authentic and owners seem more focused on charging for upgrades that should come normally at every other phot restaurant than actually providing an enjoyable dining experience. Avoid at all costs.

    I come to pho le frequently at least a couple times a month and everytime I get the best service from the staff and especially Robert! The food is so delicious everytime and I highly recommend it! The vermicelli is one of my favorites but also they turned me onto pho as well it's an extremely tasty menu all around! Thank you pho le!

    Food was overall good. would I come again? Probably not. Egg rolls were small and a bit dry. Pho was good but was missing the 5 star "wow" factor. Service & restaurant were great.

    everything was so amazing from the food to the service! i will absolutely recommend this place to others!!

    I've been going to Pho Le for a couple years now and I always find myself ordering the same "pho-large" bowl every time (mostly out of habit), and I am never disappointed with it! I usually choose the option to also add tendon and well done flank to add variety to the meat in my bowl. You also get a heaping bowl of bean sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, and jalapeños which you can request more of! :) Usually I start off dinner with their "summer rolls" and "egg rolls" which are a must! Recently I tried their 'spicy noodle soup' and found that it the right amount of spice (for some) and broth that was rich in flavor, similar to the rich pho broth, but with spiciness and thicker noodles - now I'm hooked. Let's also not forget their iced Thai teas, and strong, iced Vietnamese coffees served with milk which are my favorite to take out! Pho Le is kept super clean, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is very pleasant! Definitely would recommend them. Thanks a bunch, Pho Le! :)

    The place looked pretty decent for a pub-style restaurant serving food and beer. Met James, who was…read morethe morning bartender. He was very informative about where to go and places to check out in Boise. I ordered one of the local beers and their flagship meal, the Santa Maria Tri Tip Sandwich. As you can see by looking at the photos, the tri-tip was cooked to perfection. It had tomatoes, poblano, and chimichurri sauce on it to add to the flavors of the tri-tip. The bread consistency was great, not too soggy, and with a great crispy texture. I wish they had spread the tri-tip out more to make sure every bite was being celebrated. I also ordered the mac and cheese as the side per the instructions of the bartender, James. Let me say that was one of the best mac and cheeses that I have ever had. Truly amazing creamy texture and full of rich flavor. Everything melted in your mouth. Definitely worth it. I eventually ended up talking to a fellow bar sitter, and he ended up being the co-owner of the place, TJ. He also filled me in on the places to go and, most definitely, the places to travel to, to experience great beer. He was refreshing to talk to since most people don't have the passion for beer that we both represent. I would highly recommend this place for the staff that is there the solid pub style restaurant that they have created. Super easy and relaxed kinda of place.

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.

The restaurant was cute, and I was excited to try it. I ordered the grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich with tomato basil soup. I liked the bread of the sandwich, it was pretty hearty. The cheese wasn't very melty. My friend got a French dip sandwich, she only ate half and brought the rest back to our Airbnb. The next day when we were departing, she offered it to me for my drive home. The service was ok, it wasn't the friendliest. Prices were a little steep. If I lived nearby, I would come back and give another try.

The service was fast, as we didn't wait the full 45 minutes before being seated. Upon walking in you see an upscale modern atmosphere, and date night ambiance. I felt underdressed as usual in my shorts, but was welcomed nonetheless. We ordered the potato fingerlings, because when in Boise you order potatoes. However I wasn't much of a fan, tasted more like grocery store potato wedges. The other appetizer was the meatballs, which is served with a garlic bread I wish I had an entire loaf of. It was really good and though it seems small it was good enough when cut up, maybe it could've done with 1 more meatball and definitely some more bread. For dinner the kid had a half cheese half crispy pepperoni pizza, which of course he didn't like, not like the chain pizza shops he's used to but I had some and it was delicious. He did like the crust, and still ate a couple sliced. I shared a half Bronco, half Honey Badger pizza with the missus. Everything was good, but the honey badger's grilled onions overwhelmed the taste. My favorite was the Bronco which our California transplant server recommended. It had a nice spice to it that hits the back of your throat just enough to wake you up but not enough to have you reaching for a drink. I already recommended this place to friends that live in the area. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.
