Another 5 star review for the honesty of the servers! I forgot my cellphone at the table, did not realize it until 20 minutes after I left. Returned to the restaurant immediately and they were holding it for me at the front! Great food, even better service! My friend had the beef pho, she was extremely happy with it! My other friend and I ordered the vermicelli with grilled shrimp and eggrolls, the staff accommodated our request to keep the rice noodles light and serve it with more vegetables. Thank you again to the wonderful staff! read more

We ordered pho dac biet and hu tieu without the pork. For both noodle dishes, we didn't get much meat. The pho dac biet came with about 5 slices of beef and 1 beef ball cut into 4. The hu tieu came with 5 shrimp. Both broths were a bit on the light side. The service was fine. The restaurant is pretty spacious, but not sure it can accomodate large parties since the majority of the table are booths. read more

Pho Quyen is a casual, no-frills Vietnamese spot on Fowler Avenue. It's convenient and straightforward, but overall fell short for me in a few key areas. *note there are two other pho Quyen's in the Tampa st Pete area each are run by different owners / different menu options and taste entirely. The pho broth lacked real depth of flavor for my taste, it was warm and filling but fairly bland, missing the richness and aromatics I usually expect from pho. The noodles and herbs were fine, but the broth is really what makes or breaks it for me. One small but noticeable detail was the drinking water, which tasted like straight tap water. Even with 3 lemons squeezed in ...Installing a basic filtration system doesn't cost much and would really improve the dining experience possibly the soup options. We also tried the crab rangoon, which was made with a wonton wrapper and didn't taste very good. That said, the kids thought the food was okay, so it wasn't a total miss for everyone at the table. Service was acceptable, and the restaurant itself is simple and functional. Nothing stood out as terrible, but nothing stood out as memorable either. Overall, it's an okay option if you're nearby, but the flavors didn't feel very authentic to me, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return when there are stronger Vietnamese options available in the area read more

Service was okay, food ?? Oder a vegetable seafood, soup was full and noddles and vegetables barely any seafood, and small pieces of seafood with a bout 4 pieces of shrimp on the smaller side , would not come back. read more

I always tell myself that next time I'll try a different spot. This is the kind of place you go when you're already in the area, don't feel like driving far, and just need a quick pho fix. Unfortunately, the service has continued to decline each time I've visited. On my most recent visit, the summer rolls weren't enjoyable--the pork had a very strong "porky" taste that reminded me why I usually avoid it. The broth was also bland. Even after adding lime, chili oil, and jalapeños, it still didn't meet my expectations. I really wish this place did better, especially because it's so conveniently located and I know it's family-run. I truly want to support them, but at this point, I think it's time for me to try a different pho spot because I keep leaving disappointed. read more

We love this restaurant but there are quite a few Vietnamese restaurant by the same name so it's hard to locate the right one to post my review. They do all their dishes perfectly. Staff are attentive. Portions are hefty. Prices reasonable. So I am posting the exterior and interior photos so others don't get confused. read more

Chef is always very accommodating for spice levels! Just ask! Give this place a try. read more

Pho Quyen will probably remain forever near and dear to us as it was one of the first places we dined in at after moving to Tampa. We could not have asked for a better restaurant to have our first full-service dine in experience in town. We were a bit homesick coming from New Jersey and looking for some food that will cure that lingering feeling. Our dining experience at a different Vietnamese sandwich place the previous day was not the best, so we were seeking a bit of redemption from that as well. Located in the University of South Florida footprint, Pho Quyen was located in an ideal location for us to explore while we visited. The restaurant curated a fanciful ambiance without the righteous pomp and fanfare. I mean there was a wine-rack/case in the middle of the restaurant. However, we were committed and stuck it out with the restaurant. Their bowls of pho established our baseline for the Tampa area. The broth was exactly the way we preferred, more savory than sweet, with noodles made al dente and great think cuts of bo (beef). After our initial visit, we came here two additional times which did not disappoint. The service was great and the staff was more than pleasant. Overall a great place for Vietnamese cuisine! read more

This is an additional review. My daughter and I went for valentine's day. She loves Vietnamese and Korean food so for her Vietnamese fix we normally dine here. Per usual we got pho (sliced beef), pork egg rolls, and fried dumplings. It was all fresh and my waiter was so sweet and accommodating. The ambiance was peaceful and very family friendly. read more

It's smells so musty in there. I go there all time out of convenience and don't know if I noticed it got worse after the storm. It actually smells like sewage BUT The food is good and I like that they have a full bar. It's a shame they don't market this place to be more like a lounge with how awesome the bar set up is. Turn the lights down around 8 and crank up some good music. Have apps and martini specials or something like that. read more

Pho Quyen - Veggie pho beef broth and usually oyster bay Sauvignon blanc - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I entered the restaurant and the dining room was mid as far as customers but they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I ordered the grilled pork chops with fried rice and it was flavorful but a little too firm for me. And the ambience was mild but comfortable. read more

Food took a while to come out but when it did, it was very yummy. Portions were good too. I'd give it more stars if the dining area was cleaner. It could use a little better attention. They also seemed to be understaffed. I'd return for the food though lol read more

Super service. Prompt and attentive. We had the bowls. Curry chicken pork. Highly recommend.

Pros: Clean interior and some decent ambience .This is one of the few pho places you could bring a date. The servers were helpful in answering any questions and being friendly. I love Saigon Deli,but it's kinda like a crazy cafeteria in there lol. Fair prices for food. Solid pho. This is no 3 for me with Saigon Deli at 1 and Saigon Bay (56th street) at 2. This is just a hair behind S. Bay. The broth is serviceable,but there were no fresh jalapeno slices with my food. 7.5/10 Open Sundays and till 930 pm. Cons They don't serve banh mi sandwiches of any type unfortunately. Sad Panda The wait to get your check is too long. After finishing and waiting 20 minutes, I just went to the main entrance and asked for the bill. Overall: If you're in the USF area/New Tampa area and you want some pho without driving too far, this will get the job done. read more

I am a sucker for pho, and this one was pretty good. I usually always get the regular sliced beef, and this broth was very nice and sweetly delicious, you can never go wrong with it. The beef stew pho was alright, i'm not the biggest fan. The crab rangoons were also not bad, very cream cheesy. There's a lot of seating, and it's in a nice little plaza. Our server was kind and brought the food out very quickly. Not bad! but not my favorite place. read more

I've had take out twice now from this location. Both times had be been fresh and delicious. My go to is the fresh rolls! Served with a peanut sauce, they are so fresh and tasty! My husband loves the pork egg rolls. Not like a traditional Chinese egg roll.. these are small and crispy fried and served with a broth dipping sauce. We can't get enough of them usually.. this location is located in a large shopping plaza and can be difficult with traffic but still plenty of room to park. Service staff was helpful when placing my orders and helped modify my order as needed. I will most definitely keep them in business! read more

My family and I have been going here for many years and I can't believe I thought I had a review up already! I may be a little biased but honestly Pho Quyen is one of the better Viet cuisines in the USF area. While I'm not the biggest fan of the Pho, the other dishes are always a hit and I love trying different items. My top faves that I highly recommend are of course the fresh summer rolls, the roasted quail app or the pepper shrimp app; the cubed butter beef with a side of fried rice; newest fave is the angel hair with grilled pork; and finally, my most fave since they are the only ones that offer it around here, whole fried pompano. When I ask for it, the owner generally knows who it is lol! Do yourself a favor and try out these dishes. I've watched this place come a long way and are well worth becoming your favorite as well. Huge shout out to Tommy and Stephanie for being the awesome servers that help keep this place popping! I look forward to seeing them when me and my bf come by. read more

My 2nd time ever getting Pho, and I enjoyed it more than the last! It was served hot and quickly. I also enjoyed the music the played, it was perfect volume and there was no obnoxious lyrics, just some chill tunes. Service was great: I like how every server was attentive to us. My new go-to for Pho! read more

My sister and I stumbled across Pho Quyen while we were in the plaza getting teastori. Our meals were perfect for a rainy day. The staff is very efficient and gets your meals to you quickly. : absolutely love, will come back, can't wait to try more things and bring people here : pretty good, some quality issues, would return again : simple stuff, nothing crazy here, location could not be clean or employees not friendly : I may give this place a chance to improve at least one more time : I will not be returning here read more

Pho Quyen - Vietnamese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

As we drove back to Orlando on our last day of our Florida trip, my lovely partner was in the mood for some Pho, and she found this location. The decor was a bit more modern than most Pho restaurants I've been to over the years, but nothing to write about. We were seated pretty quickly and had our orders in less than 10 minutes. We both wanted the Pho Quyen Dac Biet, so that was a quick and easy order. We actually took more time picking our smoothies. I had the avocado smoothie while she had a mango smoothie, both without boba. My smoothie was horrible. Almost no avocado flavor, and the ice wasn't blended well. My lunch date's mango smoothie wasn't blended well either, and oddly had boba balls in her drink after explicitly stating not to add them. When our Pho bowls came out, they look quite decent. Broth was not cloudy and had a nice flavor. They did remember that my partner emphasized not to add cilantro to her meal, so it was nice to see they left it on the side plate with the jalapeños and bean sprouts. I would say the Pho was OK. Would I recommend this place? Maybe if you really want some Vietnamese food. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pho Quyen From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated -- the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. I ordered the pho (of course!) and it was hands down some of the best I've ever had -- rich, aromatic broth, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles. Every bite was amazing! I also tried a few appetizers and they were just as impressive. On top of that, the prices were fantastic. You definitely get more than your money's worth here, which is always a huge plus. If you're in Tampa and craving authentic Vietnamese food, run to Pho Quyen You will not be disappointed. Already planning my next visit! read more

Ordered filet mignon pho, and expected to receive my order with the meat uncooked. It was cooked in the broth...why?!? There was no option to have the meat in the broth, and stupid me assumed that it would've been raw. Flavor wise it was a solid meh... read more

Food was good, came out quickly. Well priced. Service was great, everyone was very nice. One employee helped put my pho in a to-go container which was much appreciated! The men's bathroom was not very nice as it was dirty and had no toilet paper. However, the floor was nice and clean. read more

I went last night, I order soup,tea ,and meal. When they served my meal they never brought utensils. I ask they said ok,7 minutes goes past and I asked this time at front counter. The rude waitress says go sit down I bring. 10 more minutes goes past. I get up and ask to pay for tea and soup. I told them it was horrible service. I use to eat at least once a week and I took my office staff for Christmas lunch. I'll never go back. Staff should be retrained or fired. read more

I ate there once some time ago and will not go back! I was a regular at the Pho Quyen on Hillsborough, my favorite dish being the stirfry chicken with FRESH basil. When I saw the one on Fowler, I decided to give them a try. Nope, not again. That favorite dish of mine was made with dried basil out of a jar rather than fresh basil leaves. read more

One of the best spots in the area. Massive hidden gem in tampa with really good portions. Try the pork chop fried rice it's delicious.

Looking for a good soup to have the other night when it was cold. We like Vietnamese soups and thought we put the directions for a different restaurant, but ended up here. We had never been here but decided to try it out and stay. We were not disappointed one bit. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the price/serving of the Fried Egg Rolls. They were just 2 extremely small egg rolls (literally 2 bites). My boyfriend ordered the Beef Combination Noodle Soup, and it came in a huge bowl. I ordered the Rice Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Beef. It came with the lettuce carrots mixture they have. Mine was pretty plain, but really good. I couldn't eat all of mine. We will be back for sure read more

We loooooove it here. Nothing fancy but amazing food- authentic and always kind to everyone that walks through their doors.

Need I say more? My family and I ate dinner at this place on Saturday May 24th, 2025. This restaurant is fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Stephanie is a friendly and helpful waitress. Great customer service. Well done Thanks read more

Our go to Vietnamese cuisine near USF area. Pho is not the best here but enough to fill the stomach. We have been here several time due to close proximity. Some night they are really fill up due to lack of service waiters and kitchen crew. If they can provide faster food delivery to table, they probably can clear out the table quicker. During the cold night pho is definitely a good choice. May be because of that, a lot people come for soup noodle. We have beef combination pho, chicken fried rice, grilled pork fried rice. All of them is good for this time. The food take some time to reach the table. Overall is good. We got the rainbow drink that we like. Definitely is good place at cold weather with hot soup. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend, and we enjoyed the food and catching up. I ordered the fried rice with pork chop plate, and he ordered the fried rice with curried chicken. The pork chop plate included 2 pork chops, seasoned well with a generous serving of tasty fried rice. I would order it again. The curried chicken was dry seasoned, not saucy, and was good too, although not as good as the pork chop. It came with a cup of what tasted like pho broth, very good. A decent lunch read more

Love this place. The food is always good and the staff is super friendly. I always get the beef noodle pho or the dumpling and rice noodle soup and it's amazing every single time.

Got takeout and the Staff was still extremely nice. Food was great will be back to sit in person

Usually my go-to place when I'm craving Vietnamese. I've been going here for years! The tables can be a bit dirty at times... and especially during busy hours (dinner time), sometimes the waitress/waiter takes forever to take our orders and never really checks up on your table lol But, food is decent. Good portions, tasty, fresh. We always order the fresh spring rolls as appetizer, their crab Rangoons are a must too! They recently updated their menu and have a variety of options! read more
