    N1 yum!!!!
    Angie H.

    I searched out a location that would give me a good pho. The reviews said it all so I came. It was good I only wished I had more broth. It was all noodles that I didn't eat. I did enjoy the tender meat, but I just wish there was more of it in the bowl. I was sick and it was the reason I came lesson learned.

    I ordered the C9 (Grilled Pork Chop & Egg) and waited over 30 minutes for it to come out. When it finally arrived, the salad was drowning in sauce, way too much. The pork chop was dry, overcooked, and tough to get through. It just wasn't enjoyable. The service didn't make up for it either. No one really checked in or seemed to care if things were taking forever. I was hoping for a solid meal, but this one missed the mark. Most likely will not be back.

    Wait is kinda long, they have a dining area out front and a dive bar behind the register. Dive bar way more popular it seems. Dining area is dingy, old, and a lil dirty. Food is okay- the vermicelli is probably a 6.5/10 but I've had worst. Portion is decent. Would I go again? Maybe with friends but it's not a first choice. Staff is nice so that's a plus.

    Large steak pho
    Kimmy L.

    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner for the first time this past week. Upon first arrival, Pho Liu looks like your standard pho restaurant. However, once we entered through the doors, we saw that the restaurant was actually connected to a crowded bar in the back. The restaurant in the front though was relatively quiet with just a few diners. We were instantly greeted by the guy reviewers call Jimmy and sat at a table of our choice. Pho Liu has all types of pho including your standard steak, meatball, tripe, and flank pho as well as seafood and vegetarian pho options. They also have some rice and teriyaki dishes, bún (Vietnamese noodle bowls), and powdered bubble tea drinks. We ordered a large 32 (steak) ($12.99) and large 39 (steak and meatball) pho ($12.99). Like other pho places, the difference in price between a small and large bowl is $1, so customers are incentivized to buy the larger bowl. We received our orders within 7-10 minutes. The pho broth was flavorful and had good beef flavor to it. The noodles were also not overly cooked and portions were generous. They have hoisin sauce and chili oil at the table, but no sriracha which I thought was unusual. Compared to Pho Vien a few streets down, I personally think Pho Liu was much tastier. However, Pho Liu was a lot quieter with most customers just entering through to go to the bar. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

    A pho place that doesn't close till 11p and the other half off the restaurant is a bar that doesn't close till later. All the staff are really nice and the owner Jimmy is always welcoming. For the pho, the broth was okay. I ordered the flank and rare steak. The broth was quite pale and was lacking a lot of flavor. It's okay though, hoisin and sriracha to save the day! Very generous with the amount of meat they put. Price is average but their pho broth was not worth it. Their spring rolls are pretty tasty. They were tiny for the $6. Bar wise- every time I visit, the bartender is so nice! She will take care of you, and makes the tastiest drinks. They have 2 golf games, karaoke on Saturday nights, skee ball and I think dart games too. They close at 2a and it's always a good time. You'll meet a bunch of interesting locals at the bar who live around the area.

    Stop by this location and noticed that it looked like a dive bar style establishment. I was craving for some pho and I never been here before as I love to eat pho. The customer service level is casual, the food weight was anywhere between 10-12 minutes. This location also has a bar side adjacent to the dining area. Started off with a dish of spring rolls that comes with the peanut sauce. Spring came with shrimp and vermicelli, as well as vegetables inside. Very casual. Tasted the pho broth, I would prefer a bit sweeter. But it was OK. I ended up, ordering some to go food, beef, short, ribs, as well as the chicken bánh mì. overall I give it a three star because the environment could use a bit cleaning and sanitizing as well as a little more attention to the broth.

    Prices have gone up. Here's the latest as of 04/23/22.

    This place is killing it with the karaoke on Saturday nights! We dropped by and ordered to-go and we were surprised at the price difference based on the photos of the menu (just added some updated images with current prices). That said, the prices were still reasonable for the portion and quality. We got 3 pho types: steak, chicken, and seafood. The pho broth here good, but it was disappointing is that they don't have separate broths for the three types of proteins. There was a generous amount of bean sprouts and basil, as well as sriracha and hoisin. We also ordered the eggrolls, which were crispy and delicious. It truly tasted homemade, like our family makes, which was familiar and nostalgic... we highly recommend it. Lastly, we ordered some of the shakes, which are less like bubble tea, and more like shaved, flavored ice... the ice wasn't blended finely, so the shakes were a little more chunky than we're used to. The flavors were good, but definitely syrup based, versus fresh fruit. We would come back and try some of the rice dishes!

    There's a twist on the usual Vietnamese fare flavor at this place. The grilled pork vermicelli bowl is divine! Super cheap, too.

I have tried several dishes since they have been around, but tonight I had a craving for some of longtime faves: moo shu (any kind is good, tonight was chicken), scallion pancakes and hot and sour soup. I don't know if they have a new cook, but the food was even fresher and brighter than its usual high standard. The moo shu had a wider variety of vegetables/mushrooms (I am going to guess wood ear, lily flowers, maybe shiitake), and everything was cooked perfectly (not limp and overcooked). Soup had just enough cornstarch, because there is nothing worse than hot and sour that is too thick. My only complaint is they put hoisin in with my pancakes (which was probably just meant for the moo shu), and I missed the thin style sauce that usually comes with scallion pancakes. It's really easy to order online, and they text when the order is ready. If you eat in, service is always friendly, and I wish I could get one of their cute staff shirts. I have a feeling an Eat Time jag is about to happen!

We got the Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, Seafood Lort Cha, and Beef Skewers along with Sugar Cane Juice and Mango Smoothie. My Seafood Lort Cha was delicious. It was a bit oily but having it with the fish sauce combated it. The pin noodles were so much fun and bouncy to eat. The sugar cane juice was also refreshing and it was just freshly squeezed in front of us. My sister enjoyed her Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, it had a rich pork broth similar to eating babaw. The Mango Smoothie probably wasn't as fresh though. I didn't taste it but my mom thought it wasn't. Lastly, the beef skewers. They were not as good and seemed a bit old tasting? The meat was a bit tough and the texture seemed off. I was satisfied with my dish though and might come back if I'm ever in the White Center area again to try their Nom Banh Chok Buffet.

I suspect they are a family business with mom as the cook, plus a son and a daughter as servers, which was the case on a quiet Sunday. The son as the server was bubbly and amicable as I asked questions about popular and favorite dishes. The food is excellent and flavorful, with plenty of leftover foods. Parking is readily available along the streets. The Food and Drinks: Beef Loklak Rice Plate, $20 - 5 Stars This is a hardy dish with flavorful pieces of beef, a fried egg, fresh greens, rice, and a bowl of soup. This dish by itself is a substantial meal. With the sides dishes we ordered, half of this went home. Lort Cha or Fried Pin Noodles with prawns, $20 - 4.5 Stars Available protein is seafood or beef. I requested prawns only, which they accommodated. Served with a side of fish sauce in a squeeze bottle, the server said to apply all over the dish. He also said this is his favorite dish. The food has very good wok hei like a Hong Kong noodle dish. I had plenty of noodles left to make a second dinner after adding veggies and protein. Beef Skewers, $18 - 4.5 Stars Five good size skewers with a dallop of pickled veggies. The seasonings are very distinctive. Oddly, the flavor reminds me of some Chinese style beef jerky. In any case, these are smoky, savory, and yummy. Papaya Salad, $16 - 4.5 Stars They use all the real, authentic ingredients here, including bits of tiny baby crabs. Be careful if you have sensitive gums. Sugar Cane Juice, $7 - 3.5 Stars I would think sugar can juice are all quite similar, but they are not. I didn't like theirs as much for some reason. It was a bit murkier. I probably won't order this in the future. Coconut Coffee, $7 - 5 Stars Our server recommended this. Coconut and coffee sound weird together, but this drink is a winner. Very unique, a touch of sweet, potent like a Viet coffee, and very distinctive. Thumbs up. They are probably closer to 4.5 Stars. Rounding up to support a family business.

Pro: Very savory and flavorful. Portion Con: Not enough noodles. Pro: For only $3, they'll bring out an extra bowl of noodles + broth. Price Con: $17 is a bit pricier than other spots. Pro: Got a punch card at the end--buy 5, get 6th bowl free. Atmosphere Pro: The restaurant was very clean, had modern decor, and there was plenty of parking in the plaza. The bowl came with a pork leg, which I usually personally prefer they leave out and sub with other meats, but at least it was super tender--tendons were very tender as well which was great. It was also a little too spicy (I overheard a staff even commenting "it looks so bloody today" right before bringing it out). But with all things considered, I'm happy to bring my review back up to 4 stars.

They gave a shocking amount of meat (clearly not a sentiment shared by everyone in the comments, but I was astounded by how they really shoved the chicken into that container) and rice! When I come again I might skip the noodles and do a veggie meat stir fry to eat just with the rice. Also, I like the side sauce bar!

The restaurant is spacious, bright, and always clean. The ingredient/food choices are always fresh and appealing to the eye. The sauce choices are also adequate... diluted a bit but they still result in a flavorful dish. One of the things I enjoy is the table of "finishing sauces" that you can add after your dish comes off the grill. Downside, it's not all you can eat, $15 gets you a good size bowl that you can fill as tall as you like and you get 1 protein included. And you can carry out leftovers (I always seem to have e leftovers).
