    #1 - Dac Biet Xe Lua
    Andrew K.

    Arguably the best pho house in Fresno, distinguished by exceptional food quality, a welcoming atmosphere, and an outstanding overall experience. Only one other restaurant--the original Nho Kitchen on East McKinley Avenue--comes close in matching the rich, deeply savory broth and tender meats of their signature beef noodle soup. Both are levels above any other pho I have tried in the county. This Vietnamese family-owned restaurant is located on the northeast corner of East Cesar Chavez and South Winery Avenues in the Asian Village Shopping Center. It is a small but very popular spot with seating for about 40 people, and there is usually a line waiting to be seated--a clear sign of how well-loved it is. I ordered the #1 Dac Biet Xe Lua, a large bowl of traditional Vietnamese beef noodle soup with rare steak, well-done brisket, flank steak, tripe, and meatballs. The heart of any great bowl of pho is the broth, and this one truly shines. It was rich, clear, and beautifully balanced, with a deep beefy flavor and subtle notes of ginger, onion, star anise, cinnamon, and coriander. The depth and umami come from beef bones simmered for hours, resulting in a clean, non-greasy broth that allows the aromatics to stand out. The texture was distinctively gelatinous and luxurious--something most pho houses in town simply cannot replicate. It honestly felt like sipping liquid gold. The meats were fresh, tender, plentiful, and generously portioned. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked, with the ideal ratio of noodles, broth, and meat. Fresh bean sprouts, lime, basil, and sliced jalapeños completed the bowl, creating a savory, comforting, and well-balanced experience. Everything was served piping hot, which enhanced the aroma and released the full bouquet of spices. The pho here compares favorably to some of the best pho houses in Orange County's Little Saigon. I also tried the gỏi cuốn (Vietnamese fresh spring rolls), which were well-sized, fresh, and springy. They were filled with plump shrimp, succulent pork, rice noodles, herbs, and vegetables. The flavors were clean and vibrant, the textures well-balanced, and the presentation colorful and appetizing. The service deserves special recognition. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the entire staff. Their friendliness, professionalism, and attentiveness were exceptional--service quality you would expect from a high-end restaurant, not a modest pho house. Servers constantly monitored the dining room, ensuring water glasses were full and checking on guests without being intrusive. The food arrived quickly, tables were promptly cleared, and the restaurant was spotless throughout my visit. It was clear that cleanliness and efficiency are top priorities. Many who dine here are regulars and I see why. The staff remembers faces and orders, and made me feel like a valued guest right away. Being a family-run restaurant, everyone is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. I asked about their popular bone marrow dish, which uses the same marrow that gives the broth its incredible richness. A server kindly brought me a complimentary sampler--an above-and-beyond gesture that made my experience even more memorable. Served dramatically with massive bones and a steak knife, the marrow was rich, sweet, buttery, and incredibly creamy. You can enjoy it on its own or scoop it directly into the hot broth for a decadent, flavor-packed upgrade. I have officially found my go-to pho spot. The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The pride the staff takes in their work and dishes is evident in every detail. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable. A large bowl of pho, fresh spring rolls, and a generous tip came out to just $24. This is my top recommendation in Fresno for authentic, high-quality pho paired with friendly service and excellent customer care.

    As a Vietnamese-American, this restaurant is probably our top favorite pho restaurant in Fresno. Since moving to Fresno earlier this year, my fiancé and I have tried a number of Vietnamese restaurants. In terms of flavor, authenticity, and cost, this one is the best. Upon walking in, we were greeted with a warm welcome. This seems to be a family establishment and from hearing the staff speak, Vietnamese-owned. The menu consists of several dishes that all sounded very good. However, we ordered the pho and were very surprised to how good it was. The broth had a great, dense flavor and not overpowered from the aromatics nor too much MSG. It was a great size and the noodles were cooked well. The vegetables provided were fresh as well. Besides the taste, the price is what really makes this place competitive. The price was very reasonable and lower than the majority of other pho restaurants. The amount of food was good and completely surprised us. We'll definitely be back.

    Number 3

    Came back for my usual number #3 pho with no tripe The workers always greet you and have amazing customer service. It is a very clean and spacious restaurant I love bringing friends and family together. Today it is raining and they leave out a mat by the door for you to dry your shoes. This shows you the detail they have to keep the restaurant clean and organized. The pho broth is fresh and delicious as always, you don't need to add anything unless you want to. Had an amazing experience once again! I love coming here.

    The pho broth is phenomenal! You don't need to even add anything. The service is great and amazing, they are always checking up on you and making sure everything is good and asking if we need refills. Our waitress even gave us raw onions and jalapeños on the side to make a dipping mixture to eat with our pho. I believe I order the number 3 which comes with mostly all the meats, I substituted my pho noodles for egg noodles and added Vietnamese ham. We got a bowl of bone morrow and omg the tendon and the meat surrounding it with the richness on the marrow is so delicious, you don't need to add on anything else just get the bone marrow and a meatball pho and call it a day! So good. The egg soda was great and their Thai tea. I like how they have shrimp paste and Thai chili as well. 10/10!

    Number 12 add shrimp with side of bone marrow
    Madison B.

    Solid pho and friendly fast service. We got the 12 which just has the steak and add shrimp and the broth was perfect, you don't need to add too much in. The side of bone marrow was also a nice addition too! Highly recommend coming here!

    Medium size #5.  Rare steak, flank, tripe, tendon, brisket.

    This place serves some of the best Pho I've had in town. Their Pho is flavorful, and the broth is made fresh and taste very authentic and clearly is made fresh every day. The portions are generous with lots of meat, food, and seafood options to choose from. The restaurant has always busy even though the dining area is on the small side, but it's absolutely worth the weight. If you're going for the full experience, you need to try the bone marrow, it is a must. They also offer a variety of teas and smoothies, which are perfect to pair with your meal.

    Pho #1 large
    Nancy V.

    Located in a busy Plaza with ample parking lot. Came into town and wanted to give this place a try. Ordered #1 beef combo pho which had plenty of meat and side order of bone marrow. Made my dip sauce of hoison sauce and sracha with chili oil to dip the meat with. However, the star of the show was this bone! Its a must order in my opinion. Delicious meat with soft tendon and fatty marrow inside. I had Two large bones in my side order and my brother had 3. I've never seen such humongous bones before and plenty too, usually ones in Sac is smaller and your handed just one. It was a surprising nice touch to the meal. Add some Sriracha hot sauce with the marrow and it's simply chefs kiss. Staff was friendly and came by to check often. The ambiance is better for group of 4-6 ppl, but I'm sure 8 settings is doable. I wouldn't mind cming again if I'm in the area.

    We were looking for a new pho spot because our usual place changed owners and we hadn't been satisfied the past couple times. We found Pho Phuong Nine and were greeted as soon as we walked in and they were ready to take our order within minutes. Our drinks and main dishes came out super fast. The spring rolls took a while to come out but they were really good! This place is farther from our house but it's worth the drive. There was a homey feel with regulars coming in and the owners knew them. We'll definitely be back soon!

    Just one of my big ass bones (came with bone marrow). I had two more I was gonna eat later with the rest of my pho.

    I'm convinced that this is thee best pho in Fresno hands down! I haven't went here for a while but used to always come during lunch break when I worked in the area.. this family owned business has been around for a long time! The broth just gets better and better. They have perfected it over the years IMO. They done leveled up too cus before that it was cash only and now they accept tap! That is a plus for me! I didn't eat inside this time, I ordered it to go. The customer service is excellent. The girl that took my order is nice and always smiling. I forgot which number pho I ordered but it was a large and it came with some beef and tendon, and I also added the big ass bones that has the bone marrow in it. That was the best part!!! Man they hooked it up with the bones tho cus I got some really big ass ones!! I also added the scallion oil or the green onion oil with my order. Idk what it's called but I like to top my pho with it. It's flavorful and fragrant. The broth alone is already really good. It's nice and clear and u can taste the beefy flavor. Not too salty either. Dont have to season if u don't want to but I like to doctor mine up with loads and loads of chili oil.. add some hoisin and lime and it's good to go. Bomb af. I had enough pho packed for a second round. I split my order up. That's how big the large was. Also did a hoisin and siracha dip for my meats. It was delicious! Definitely coming here again and most likely ordering the same thing.

    Plenty of sides
    Angela S.

    Service is always great here. We ordered to go this time but they were busy but still always sweet and caring. Place is always clean as well. We ordered pho with their beef bone. We LOVE their beef bones as they have so much tendon! Definitely worth the wait. Used to come often and glad the food hasn't changed and is still good. Highly recommend!

    I was hungry and looking for some pho , we were in the area so decided to come here for food . It looks like the offer a huge bone marrow addition to add to your pho for only $5, I was planning to order it but they ran out by the time we ordered . I saw it on other peoples tables and it looked so yummy and hefty with tons of cartilage . This is a pretty popular pho spot and it was busy . The pho was good and I'll definitely be back and will come earlier to order the bone marrow . Pay cash for 2.5% discount from credit card fee !

    Pho bowl #1

    One of the best pho places in the central valley. It's not fussy just good food. Always ask if they have bone marrow. As its a huge piece that they use for the broth and still has some meat and cartilage for a very low price. I also get the bun (vermicelli salad); good balance of noodles and veggies. Just a note they no longer make the version that comes with an eggroll as they dont make eggrolls anymore. The staff is super friendly and attentive. As of September 2025, they accept credit cards now too. It used to just be cash or cash app. It can get very busy and you might have to wait and those wait times vary. The decor is okay, its definitely not a fancy place and seating can be tight. A very casual place, that has delicious food.

    Guys the water didn't have a funny taste!

    Wanted to give this place a shot because it's close to my new work place and really enjoy it!…read more It's attached to the Tea Shop, which you have to walk through first to get to the restaurant. You'll then have to wait to be seated at the register. I think this set-up is kind of awkward but hey, at least they have cute sidewalk seating. There are plenty of tables and long benches to sit at and the restaurant itself feels clean and well-lit! The staff are super helpful also. Tried the House Special Beef Pho and it was pretty tasty! You do have the option to order your dish with regular thin noodles, flat noodles, or egg noodles. The broth is basil-y and the flavor has great depth. They have a self-serve station for condiments where you can grab some chili oil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that I don't feel too bloated after eating here (compared to other pho restaurants). Been enjoying this restaurant and eating here at least once a week!

    It's been a minute since I've been back here... I heard they remodeled? But idk what changed lmao I…read moreguess it's been that long since my last visit (it hasn't been a full year yet, fyi). My memory is shot. I don't want to be handing out 5 stars so easily but I think they deserve it. The restaurant is very clean, and I love the little Asian lanterns they have, all different, above each table. Plenty of seating. When we got there (a little after 5), there was only one other table occupied... by the time we left (6:30), every table was nearly taken. Our waitress, as well as the other on the floor, were both very welcoming and friendly. They handled the service remarkably as a team. The fact that they were a packed house and still were very attentive with us, checking how we're doing, checking on our water refills... these are the little things I appreciate most (and, of course, good food). I got the Pho with the Fatty Brisket, my friend got just the Steak Pho. They have a bar against the wall with all garnishes you may need to grab what you'd like. This is pretty smart... It saves them from waste. Instead of giving people items they may not use-- they would just grab what they'd like themselves. My friend grabbed her goodies, I prefer mine as is. To me, if your broth is good and doesn't require me to flavor it... I'll eat it just like that (unless I feel like adding spice). I've only ever been to a few other Pho places where I had to season up the broth myself...definite no no for them. All my friends who have gone out to eat Pho with me know I eat it just how I get it. Pho from my Mama is a different story though... I put the works (not because it's not flavorful) but, it's just different. Moving on... They also have a Teazona in their establishment. I've tried a few different drinks in the past but came to regularly deciding on the Tiramisu Milk Tea (no flan for me, light boba). Make sure to shake it well. You can also let them know your preference on the level of sweetness. We both got this tonight and it nearly tipped me over on the full scale. Couldn't finish it. Everything was really good though. Pho was the perfect choice for this weird, gloomy weather we've been having. The price is a bit up there but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. But-- for the portion, the quality, and the service? Worth it.

Located in the Barnyard shopping center this Vietnamese restaurant is a little dated, but don't let the decor deter you. The food is in incredible! I ordered a large bowl with thin sliced meat balls along with spring rolls for the table. First off, I should've gotten a small bowl of pho, the large bowls here are massive. I had plenty of leftover for the next day and the day after! The broth was delicious with deep rich flavors and the noodles were slightly al dente, which I loved. I couldn't help myself and active point picked up my bowl and just started sipping the broth. My wife ordered the same thing as I, minus the meatballs and she too, could not get over how much flavor the broth had, almost like they had been slow cooking this for the past three days straight. The spring rolls were 100% handmade and the filling inside was delicious. We did bring our kids with us and we're definitely nervous because they are very picky eaters. They do offer a kids menu, but there isn't much to it. It's basically rice broth and your choice of meat. We ordered my 4-year-old daughter a small bowl of rice with broth and chicken; she loved this and kept asking for more! My son (7) went big and ordered pho with squid... he inhaled everything! Even asking if we could order more squid on the side to which we did and he ate that as well. This was huge win for mom and dad, now we can do pho to the family dining out rotation.

We have practiced this each time coming in, but today after sitting at the only clean table(with some to be cleared off) a couple came over to the empty table and stared at us pretty weirdly before a server rushed over and told us to move because its for them.

The pork belly is perfectly tender with just the right amount of crispiness, the bread is fresh and crunchy, and all the flavors come together perfectly. I've tried banh mi from so many places and nothing compares to this one. The dipping sauce ! Are you kidding me?!! And the ban xeo? Absolutely to die for. Crispy, savory, packed with flavor, and paired with fresh herbs and dipping sauce that take it to another level. Every bite is perfection. On top of the incredible food, the atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and comfortable. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. The owner walks around and greets all the guests, like who does that! They make you feel like family.
