The dish I got from there was pretty clutch. It had the noodles and egg rolls, shrimp, and beef. The only issue is the beef was over cooked so not very tender. Other then that there was a great amount of vegetables and everything else had good flavor. read more

They moved a little east on Olive and we finally made it there. We liked the updated look of the new place. We were very surprised by the updated prices though. Wow! We almost got up and left, but thought about all the rising costs of things and stayed. The food was very good. It was just like before. Our take away is this. We used to be regulars there before the move. Now, on a rare occasion will we spend that much for Pho. It was very good, but with as many great restaurants as there are, with prices that also offer food or better values than what we found here, we will not be coming back very often. As there are other Pho places around, and we know that they have good food, we will be very selective about when we will return. See what you think. read more

We used to live in University City, so the OG location was our go to. Once the weather changed, we were there every week! Then we moved to the city, I think Pho Long was the thing we were most disappointed about moving away from, so it was a great surprise to figure out they had one close! We've tried every "the best" pho in the city, and I'm telling you, this is it. Maybe we had bad experiences at some of the other places, who knows, but this will forever be the best to us. Their portions are HUGE, like at least two meals worth. They are also really generous with the meat. Personally, I don't like fatty meat, and they have THE BEST VEGGIE PHO OPTIONS. The best. And their crispy spring rolls are drool worthy. I recently started getting the Thai tea as well, they don't disappoint. I don't care what other people say, this spot is it for Pho. read more

Great place in the city for some pho, especially when that cold weather hits this place hits the spot! Usually go for the P.1. which is with sliced ribeye pho. They give a good portion of both meat and noodles, and the pricing is very affordable at around $10 or so. You can add hoisen sauce, siracha, herbs, and bean sprouts to taste. The broth is mid-pack in flavor for pho that I've tried which is why the 4 stars and not 5. The restaurant has good service as well and has a free parking lot behind it. Would definitely return! read more

In this day and age to not have refillable sodas is criminal. Inflation is crap. Then to have to pay inflated costs for can soda. Had the beef spring rolls. The beef was super chewy. The hoisin is really good. I had the beef tenderloin pho. It was fatty with a bone there for garnish. read more

OKAY these guys Deserve a special shout out today. I've been ordering a lot from this place since covid, mainly because of proximity and how easy their ordering process has been. But without fail every time I've called to place an order they have my order at the ready and are ready to offer it. I love that level of customer service. It's gotten to the point where they just ask "the regular for you today, or would you like to try something new". I especially appreciate it because they know I'm going to get the same thing every-time but still ask. Thank you thank you THANK YOUUUU read more

Pho Long has quickly become my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant on the south side. Liza and David were both incredible servers and took care of a full house with grace and determination. The food was so delicious I completely forgot to take a picture before it was gone! The broth of the pho was so incredible and flavorful I barely left a drop in the bottom of the bowl. What's really fascinating about this place is the outside is so nondescript that you could pass by it for years and never think of stopping (like I did!). When you walk in the door, you are almost transported to a different world. The lighting, decor, and general ambience is inviting and warm. I will definitely be returning to Pho Long frequently, especially as winter is approaching! Pho is a perfect food in my book, and the chefs at Pho Long on S. Grand clearly know what they're doing. Thanks for an amazing meal and a memorable experience! read more

With four stars, I expected better. The restaurant itself is nice and the service was good. The food was disappointing. The broth lacked a deep beef flavor but was salty at the same time. The only condiments on the table were hoison sauce and Sriracha plus the herbs, but it wasn't enough to give the broth the depth of flavor it needed. The ratio of noodles to broth was also off. However, the meats in the pho were delicious. If you have a favorite pho place already, this is not a good alternative. read more

BLUF: Large portions for a very affordable price! Awesome vibe/decor. Pho was very tasty. They offer a military discount SUNDAY PHO-NDAY My wife and I decided to stop by right after Sunday Mass. As soon as I walked in, I was impressed by the decor and environment. Very clean and chill vibes. Ordered the fried chicken appetizer and pho thai bo vien. Both hit the spot The portions were large for what we paid. Had excellent service on top of that. After this experience, I know I'd be back again I highly recommend this pho place!

Instant excitement from walking in the door. Hipster vibes Very cool interior and music, tables are spaced well, poppin' bar area with TVs showing videos of different Vietnamese foods. We were seated right away during the 1 o clock hour. I ordered the fried chicken and P3: pho with brisket and meatballs. The fried chicken was so hot and fresh and was SO. GOOD. You definitely didn't need the sweet chili sauce but it was a nice addition.

I really like this pho place and their concept of including a beef rib or oxtail in pho is very interesting and tasty. Atmosphere - 5 stars bc the inside is actually nice and doesn't feel like you're eating in a divey cafeteria as is the case with most viet restaurants. Service - 5 stars. Nice and courteous service. Food comes out slower but we are generally not in a hurry so for us that doesn't impact the rating. Food: 4 stars because they don't include the typical meat cuts such as tripe and their tendon is poorly cut. It's sliced so thin that it falls apart in the soup. The beef rib and oxtail are very tender and I have not seen any other pho restaurant include this. The broth needs to be more complex and rich. They also don't offer the extra fat to add to the broth which would help with richness. The noodles are on the softer side and I prefer my noodles more chewy. My husband thought it was slightly on the salty side. The fried eggrolls were nice, crunchy and hot read more

Went in with high hopes, but was extremely disappointed with the shrimp rolls. They should just call them noodles and veggies rolls - there were NO SHRIMPS. Even though they looked like they have three shrimps on each roll, and I have to admit they look real, until you bite into it.... My best guess is that they stamped or printed on images of shrimps. Just awful. read more

We walked in at 10:10pm on a Friday night. There were 8 people still eating and the sign on the door clearly said they were closing at 10:30pm, yet the 2 guys at the counter told us they were closed. Management, you can close at whatever time you chose, that is your right, but advertising your closing hours as 10:30pm and refusing service 20mn before just show the quality of your customer service. We just moved in town and we regularly frequent Vietnamese restaurants, but for sure, this one will not be one of them. read more

Pros: Cute place with good ambience. Clean restaurant Alcohol available. Friendly staff Cons: Sorry to say but the food was not good. I had the P8 & my gf had the P2. Smelled good, good portion size, veggies were fresh but the broth tasted like nothing. Nothing tasted bad but basically flavorless beef broth. Like noodles in hot water with beef added. Adding cilantro, basil, peppers did not help. I know some people might say "it's just really clean flavor" but this was straight out sans flavor. **Benefit of the doubt is that they just had a bad batch since other people like it here but probably the worst pho I've had. We paid and left and went somewhere else. ***Server asked if something was wrong with food since we left most of the food uneaten. She said she'd talk to the owners about my feedback since they are experimenting with different broths. Good customer service read more

My girlfriend and I went here for no good reason outside of the fact that Pho is our comfort food. When it's cold and sh**ty outside, pho is the best decision you can make. This place is so good. We had their dumplings (amazing) and their p7 with flank steak. They had homemade pickled seranos with all the other pho fixings and they were homemade and AMAZING. I finished dinner with a Vietnamese coffee (something I'm sure I'll regret since it's 8pm and I shouldn't be drinking coffee) but it just felt right read more

Pho Long Restaurant - P7 - Vietnamese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Hmmm very iffy. The food was very good. The clear bone broth was so soothing and rejuvenating. Perfect broth, noodle, and beef coming together in the bowl. The downside--when I walked in through the doors at 11am the workers were still at the bar eating their lunch. As a business perspective, when you open the shop, shouldn't everyone be ready to serve the guests? Second, the server got my order incorrect. I asked for rib pho and he gave me beef pho. Okay, they're both beef and all but cmon, with so many similar dishes on the menu, you might just want to repeat the order and make sure you've got the right one. I might come again when I'm craving for pho, but certainly... bad first impression. read more

The wait is finally over. I've driven past this place dozens of times and have heard countless people rave about "pho" so I decided to finally give it a try. I got the spring rolls A1: Guoi Cuon not pictured) which were see through and came with pork, lettuce, and soft rice noodles. It comes with two and are pretty tasty. For dinner, I had the P1:Pho Tai. I was a bit skeptical, as it listed rare steak as being one of the main ingredients however, I was assured that the temperature of the broth would "cook" it and it did, indeed. It's hard to describe the taste as it's a culmination of spices, broth, beef, and everything else mixed together. I will say, make sure you come hungry. I thought I did but my stomach said otherwise. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed and felt it deserved nothing less than 5 stars. My server was extremely attentive, prompt with the refills, and went out of her way to make sure that I not only understood the menu but was there for any questions I had. The food was delectable and I can't wait to come back. read more

Being Vietnamese and coming from an area that is predominantly Vietnamese, it was always going to be challenge finding comparable quality anywhere else in the country. I have tried Pho Long many times and my initial impression was that the broth was too salty and really detracted from the dish. However, I have tried it more times since and they have fixed those issues. I feel that the Pho here is solid. The broth, for the most part, is fine, and will satisfy most palates. I do feel that there is a missing element/depth of flavor to the dish and that the rare beef is not as tender. One notable thing that sets Pho Long over other the Pho places in the city is the portion size; they give a greater amount of food (compared to places like Pho Grand) for a comparable price point. I also have enjoyed their non-Pho dishes such as the rice plates. I have tried the Com Suon Sate Trung (braised pork chop) and the Com Thit Bo Ba Chi (beef belly). These dishes are an homage to Com Tam (broken rice), and I think they do a good interpretation. The pork chop itself is thicker than other places that have similar items and the beef belly is marinated well and is very tender. I recently saw that they have a dish that closely resembles Com Tam with the traditional sides, so I'll be back to try that! I recently tried a dish that I have not found in STL until now, Bun Cha Ha Noi (vermicelli and grilled pork). This is the dish that the late Anthony Bourdain tried with then President Obama in Hanoi. I thought that it was a well executed dish that reminded me of home. The patty and the meat was grilled and marinated well and the nuoc mam (fish sauce) with ginger complemented the grilled meat, vegetables, and vermicelli noodles well. The avocado smoothie sweetened with condensed milk, which is another Vietnamese drink like Vietnamese iced coffee, was good. Service has been on point here; the staff are friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant is modern and Vietnamese music is playing sometimes. Overall, I think Pho Long is a solid place to eat Pho and to try other Vietnamese dishes. read more

Absolutely good! We ordered the PS and P12 pho and really enjoyed. A large chunk of beef together with juicy pho. Service is also good.

The multitude of flies that greeted us upon our arrival should have been enough to warn us away. We decided to take a chance and we will never return. The soft drinks had no carbonation, and the sauces were sour and devoid of flavor. I've eaten Pho all over the world and this isn't it. Clean up your act and serve food that resembles the picture on your menu. How do you run out of rice ? read more

I came here for lunch on a Friday and was pleasantly surprised that the decor on the inside was far more pleasing than the non-descript exterior. It was trendy and modern. They allowed me to pick a table and there were several people there for lunch. I got the spring rolls and Thai iced tea to start and had the chicken Pho for my meal. All the food was delicious and generous portions! I took the rest home and had it for dinner as well. The only thing that wasn't great about my visit was there was only one waitress who was also working the bar. It took a long time to get my order in when she was taking dining room orders and checking people out for takeout as well. It also took a long time to pay for the same reason. Definitely won't keep me from coming back! Just probably wouldn't come under time restraints. read more

This place was the perfect answer to a rainy day. My husband and I ordered dinner to go and got Beef Pho, chicken wings, spring rolls, and some Tiramisu for dessert. The broth is really the most important part of Pho and determines what makes a good Pho shop, and this place passed the test. The broth was rich and flavorful. We heated it up a little more when we got home so it was really hot when we ate, and man, it really hit the spot. The spring rolls and wings were good too, the tiramisu could be a pass. They did come in cute little glass cups though, which we have kept because they are the PERFECT whiskey sipping size! So overall, a win! read more

LOVE Pho Long!! The pho is always fantastic -- flavorful broth and tender brisket. I've dined in with them once a year ago, and I love their chic interior. Recently I have also really appreciated their COVID protocol for ordering and delivery. Their delivery man set up my order right outside the door on a crate and very politely maintained social distance while I signed the receipts. It might seem small, but these deliberate efforts showcase a level of care that I've really grown to appreciate from restaurants during this pandemic. The staff is all kind and helpful in every interaction I've had with them. If you have a consistent hankering for pho like I do, please support this wonderful business! read more

Everything from the Gon Cuon (spring rolls) to the ENORMOUS bowl of rib Pho is a heaping 1lb of meat. everything hit the spot. I've tasted just about every place that serves Pho, and the chef has nailed this broth like no other. Full of beefy flavor that won't require any flavor modifiers.

Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and food here. I came here with three lunatic children and the in-laws and I was impressed with how calm and helpful the staff was at setting up a table and getting the kiddos settled right when we walked in. The waitress was amazing and brought the kids waters in cups with lids (which is smart!) and they explained the menu to my in-laws who are vegetarian and typically have issues finding something they'll enjoy. We ordered a few different plates and appetizers and were equally impressed with how fresh and delicious everything tasted. My dish specifically was the Shrimp Pho and for once, I finally was given more than six shrimp in a bowl. They are very generous with the meats in their pho bowls which is very appreciable and satisfying. We'll be coming back to this place fuhhh shooooo. read more

Ordered chicken fried eggrolls received shrimp spring rolls. Ordered fried dumplings, didn't get them at all. Didn't order whatever that salad is, got that instead of our beef dinner. And ordered wonton soup and didn't get that either. Called and they wouldn't redeliver without me paying again. They blame postmates abd postamtes blames them. So I waited ab hour for a meal I threw away since I can't eat shrimp. Loyal customer who has ordered from them at least a dozen times in 2019. Guess they don't want my continued business. read more

Went back for a second meal, and sadly have to report that service was so poor, it deserves a 2 but the beef belly pho is still a 5, so averages out to a 3.

Had high hopes this place would be good. Loved the interior. Wait staff awesome. Food was HUGE disappointment. Flavorless for the most part. And the veggie patties in vegetarian dishes tasted cheap and distracted from what little taste the dish had. I rarely leave negative feedback but truly we were so disappointed for the experience.....just had to leave review. Pho Grand just closed and we were hoping this would be a replacement but it is no where near as good. Will have to keep looking. read more

Saw that this place had opened up somewhat recently and decided to go for a try. The staff were nice and my friend and I quickly placed our orders for pho. My pho was very tepid and weak in flavor. The soup base did have that warm inviting beefy umami flavor that is characteristic of pho, but it didn't contain enough spices or other pungent flavors to boost itself up. It somehow does manage to have that rich meaty foundation of taste, without any richness of flavor that I guess you get from spices and other sauces ingredients - kind of difficult for me to explain. But regardless, it is therefore an overall pretty lackluster and boring pho. The meat was just OK. However, with the (somewhat) recent closure of Kim Ngan, and the lack of quality alternatives nearby, I'd have to say that I would recommend this place over Pho Grand and other pho establishments nearby. While this place suffers from a lack of a certain "kick" to its pho's soup base, Pho Grand has way too many pungent spices that don't really make sense to me in their pho. At least Pho Long maintains that homey warm feeling within its broth, even though that's all I taste, that a great pho necessitates. read more
