Was in town visiting and decided to warm up with some pho. I decided to try the beef pho. It was a little bit sweeter than what I'm use to. It was still delicious and full of the flavors and aromatics you would expect. The booths were a bit uncomfortable. It's a very tiny spot but it has good vibes. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. read more

Pho Nouveau - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Great variety of food and delicious as well as friendly staff. I was craving Pho while in Boise and this is where I landed.

It's been over a year since I ate at this local Vietnamese joint. My sister and I decided to eat here tonight before the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Capitol. We were instantly greeted. The gal that greeted us was our server. She let us pick the table we wanted to sit at. She grabbed us water and gave us a minute to check out their online menu. For dinner I was tempted to get a bowl of pho since it was so cold outside. But since I got pho yesterday I thought I'd order something different. Tonight's dinner choice was Vietnamese curry with fried tofu. My parents used to make this curry at their restaurant when I was younger. The smell and taste of it will always be a core memory for me. I remember the juicy chunks of chicken, potatoes and carrots in this beautifully crafted curry sauce. I was hoping for something similar. The bowl that was served to me was beautiful. The curry was golden. The sweet potatoes and carrots were vibrant in color. It smelled lovely. My first bite was delightful! It was fragrant in coconut, lemongrass and curry. It was very good! The curry was on the sweeter side as i continued eating it. I was only able to finish half. The curry did come with a lot of tofu! I believe the tofu was pre fried when it was purchased. It was good but wasn't fresh fried tofu. The baguette wasn't fresh. The bread didn't have the crustiness to the exterior of the bread. It was still good though. Compared to my last visit, it was night and day! Service was great! Food was good. The ambiance was casual but yet romantic. If you're looking for a good Vietnamese joint downtown, Pho Nouveau is a great local joint to try out. read more

Wasn't not able to eat here because we were waiting by the entrance door for a while, never even got acknowledged by the staff. So yeah 0/5 stars read more

This place is hit an miss for me. The service is great. But sometimes I'll go there and the pho is a little funky smelling. Again, just sometimes. Other times it's good. The price is cheaper than other places in town which is nice. Also, I've gone there when they've been using intense cleaning supplies like Fabuloso that really are not cool to smell while eating. read more

Yummy broth, great service, friendly staff, and you must get the chargrilled pork banh mi! The patio seating is great for people watching and dog friendly. If you're craving pho and in the area check it out! read more

I was visiting Boise for the week and neeeeded to get some soup! This pho really hit the spot. The rangoons were some of the best I've had, and the hot and spicy chicken was AMAZING as well! Not too spicy. If I ever come back to Boise I will definitely come back here! read more

Pho Nouveau - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The food, staff and atmosphere are amazing!!! The Sweet potato curry with crispy rolls is my favorite to have and to take extra home.

This pho spot is in the Downtown area so parking is hit or miss. Greeted kindly by the server. I am on a quest to find the best pho the Boise area has to offer. I noticed on the menu when I first ordered there was no special combo. Menu starts off with one meat choice and you build from there. Not typical of any other pho spot I've been to from Oregon, Cali or Washington. read more

Service very friendly and fast. We had 4 dishes that we all voted as pretty tasteless. So little meat on the bahn mi! We give it a 4 out of 10 read more

Kai, Kai, Kai, where do i begin... your service was impeccable, your humor was captivating, the food was great. Thanks Kai

The food is awesome! Best Pho I have had in Boise. The brisket is a MUST. The service is even better. Kai is so funny and entertaining. The restaurant is small and cozy, perfect for some cold weather. read more

My daughter wanted me to try this place. We went for lunch and it's a small restaurant but it's super cute and it does get busy. We didn't have to wait too long for a table. Service was fast, and the server was super sweet. The food was delicious. I absolutely loved the lemonade it was so good and refreshing. I ordered lemon grass chicken. I think it was good with the cucumber salad yum yum. My daughter ordered the Pho, and she loves it. read more

Pho Nouveau - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Nouveau = small portion, high price, no flavor Stopped here during our short weekend in Boise. We were both feeling a little sick and looking for something yummy to warm us up. We both ordered the pho beef brisket and added meatballs. We received a small portion of noodles, that I finished in five bites (yes I counted), one meatball split in half and four pieces of very small cut brisket. Big disappointment. Service was good but this is overpriced for a warm bland snack. read more

This was ok for true Vietnamese food. They try to fancy it up with the wording on the menu and the waitress was snobby or tried to be maybe because this place is downtown Boise. When asked about pho and the size of the bowls, it was a rude and abrupt, "We have one size." Being that I lived in California for quite some time and frequented West Minster and other areas, I know good, authentic pho and other Vietnamese food when I find them. I will continue to go to the one in Nampa or the one down the road in Boise, Pho Nomenal ..... I don't want dressed up Vietnamese food. I want good, authentic food with polite and fun service. read more

The food was amazing and the service was friendly and quick. I will definitely go back when given a chance.

This is the best Vietnamese food in Boise. I am obsessed with Pho and this spot was delicious. The pho broth was rich and flavorful without being salty. I recommend not putting hoisin or hot sauce in the broth, it's too yummy to cover up. The Spring Bowl with Chargrilled Pork was my second favorite dish. The fresh summer (spring) rolls are the best to start off lunch/dinner. They have patio and indoor seating. They serve beer and wine. Puppy friendly patio. read more

Right in the middle of downtown this place was pretty easy to find. I was there for lunch. The place wasn't very busy. There are several tables, booths and bar seatings. I ordered the Shaken Beef Salad. It was an interesting take on the dish. I definitely would not order the dish again. The service was mediocre. My experience was just... okay. read more

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it! It's a smaller restaurant with limited seating but we were able to get sat right away! Our server was friendly and checked in but, overall, just let us eat our food! We ordered the Shrimp Fresh Summer Rolls and they were delicious! The peanut sauce is perfect! This was my first time having pho, their beef pho was delicious! I will definitely be revisiting again! read more

Pho Nouveau - Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I was looking for something a little on the lighter side after some heavy meals in Boise lately. Stopped into this little gem. I had a very friendly server. The place was full (probably because of their good food and reasonable prices for the area). I got the spicy chicken over rice noodles. It had a nice sauce, not too spicy, just a little zing. Had a nice carrot/cucumber/lettuce/sprout salad and there was also some onions cooked with the meat and a little light dipping sauce. Overall a pleasant experience with some yummy food. I can see coming back here often, especially in the winter. read more

Delicious scratch made food at an affordable price! We took a large group here for lunch and enjoyed every moment of our meal. The staff was great, the food and atmosphere were amazing. And the food was delicious. We fed a party of 9 for $100+ at lunch. Highly recommend Pho Nouveau for takeout, gatherings and all the things! Yum. read more

This was my first time eating pho and I loved it! I got the beef pho - it was a huge bowl with a bunch of things to add to it (lime, bean sprouts, cilantro, basil etc). The waitress was so friendly, we ended up having a full conversation with her while ordering! The outdoor patio was small but nice. Not super expensive for being right downtown and we didn't wait very long for our food or check. Definitely want to go again!! read more

Flavor were not authentic Vietnamese but guess they make it easy so more people can eat. Consider this is Idaho, it was okay. Both Bun bo hue (spicy beed noodle soup) and Bo luc lac (shaking beef) were too sweet. Wish they were less sweet, it would be better. The ingredients were right though. Veggie to eat with Bun Bo Hue were not fresh. Location is prime downtown. Clean and bright interior. The server only wore mask when she came to our table, no one else wore masks. But same as every stores around so not surprised. Service was friendly and fast. Price are as high as Seattle area. read more

Small Vietnamese place in downtown Boise. Has a contemporary style rather than a traditional pho place. Was doing decent business on a weekend night, but not as busy as the other restaurants and bars nearby. The restrooms are shared with some of the other establishments in the same building. We go the green papaya salad to start. That came with some beef and shrimp and fish sauce, and the combination had a refreshing taste. For mains, we all got pho. They give plenty of soup and noodles, but not a lot of meat. Meatballs is a $1 extra charge on all the pho, and you can only order pho was one type of meat. The taste is good though, and has all the correct flavors. The noodles are pretty decent. Not too pricey, but wish they would have a signature pho with different cuts of beef mixed in. read more

I used to come here to eat pho while I was in graduate school lol but hadn't been in many years. I went again recently and everything was so wholesome and tasty and I loved it all over again. Really enjoyed the curry, which I had with fried tofu, and our server recommended trying it with a baguette instead of rice. 100% would order again! read more

Great staff great food great drinks love the whole thing everytime I'm there. I love the tendon add on in the pho as well

Hidden gem of a restaurant. My go to Vietnamese. Family owned. Staff sets the mood for a great experience. Jordan is awesome every time I go in. The bun with spring roll is the only thing I need and I'll die a happy man. Wife and kids get other things and everyone really enjoys going here. read more

We were disappointed by this spot. It smelled amazing but didn't seem authentic to us, maybe a healthy adaption? I got the vermicelli rice bowl with pork and shrimp. Everything tasted okay, it just seemed off. My husband got the shaken beef salad (Bo luc lac) and it wasn't what he was expecting. I also got the Vietnamese coffee because I saw in the photo they use the traditional drip device my MIL uses to make Vietnamese coffee at home, but it tasted off too. Admittedly, I asked for less condensed milk so that's on me, but the actual coffee flavor wasn't great. Obviously some people love Pho Nouveau so if you're in the area, check it out, but it was a miss for us. Still on the search for the best authentic Vietnamese food!! read more

This place was great! Great location, amazing pho, and the lemongrass chicken was top notch. I like to try different Vietnamese places on my travel and it is rare I go back to the same one. However, this was soooo good I went back twice! read more

The. Best. Pho. In. Boise. I come here every chance I get when I'm craving Pho. I'm a creature of habit so I always get the Spicy Pho American Style. Love the larger rice noodles! I wish there were more tables in their location, but even when I have to wait a couple minutes to be seated I'm happy to do so. The staff is always nice, and quick. Love it here. read more

Delicious food and friendly service. I recommend the crispy spring rolls, pho, and summer noodles bowls.

Pho Nouveau is more a Americanized inspired restaurant than what we are used to. The pho bun bo hue were both lacking in flavor, although the bun thit nuong was good. read more

WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Pho is amazing, trays are amazing and staff are all great, especially Jordan who recognizes us every time we come! One thing that makes me jump every time though is when waiters put dirty dishes in the dish catcher out in the open and they let them clang, which sitting at the high top by the walk, makes me jump every time. Plates are heavy, but so very loud and results in customers jumping out of their skin. BUT ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO GO!!!! THANK YOU FOR YEARS OF GREAT FOOD read more

Best in Idaho, next best is ViVis in Hillsboro, OR. Canh chua and green mango salad! Service is great, kudos to Reese.

If you want authentic Vietnamese pho, it's definitely not this place. This is an Americanized Vietnamese restaurant catered to those who don't know great Vietnamese cuisine. If you want authentic Vietnamese pho, bun bo hue or bun noddle dishes go to Pho Nyugen in Garden City. You will not be disappointed! read more

Had a wonderful meal during lunch time. I got the lemon-grass chicken lunch special and they happily subbed the cucumber salad for steamed veggies. They came and checked on me several times and made sure my water was always full. Great customer service. The lemon-grass chicken was delicious and very flavorful. I would most definitely order it again. Everything I have had on the menu so far has exceeded my expectations! read more
