I was craving Banh Mi so I found this place online. I ordered their Cold Cut and grilled pork Banh Mi sandwiches and they were very tasty. It's hard to find authentic in Pensacola, I've tried them all. But these were very good compared to other places. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. I can't wait to try their other dishes read more

Sooo good! Took my bf there so he could try Pho for the first time and he loved it! Service is great too read more

It's... ok. The Pho itself is just meh. The broth isn't very flavorful, and they're not particularly generous with the amount of meat they give you. Everything here is just.. edible. I tried the Boba tea, and it tasted very strange, almost chemical-like. I asked my husband to taste it, and he immediately dumped it into the sink. What was left behind was boba pearls, but also a big chunk of plastic that had been chewed up in whatever machine they use. When we called, not to complain but basically just to tell them they need to check it as someone could get hurt, they literally could give two cares and were extremely rude. They will NOT be getting another penny of my hard-earned money. They're not very good, and don't care about safety? Quintessential Pensacola! read more

Very, very good! Everything was fresh. From the carrots in the banh mi to the shrimp in the spring rolls. They were slammed when I came in for a take out order on a Sunday, and I only had to wait ~15 minutes. I recently reviewed another Vietnamese place nearby (essentially the same order) and I think Pho Real comes out on top by just a hair. The portions were a little smaller, but what was inside the portions was just that bit much better. Will have to try more of what is on the menu! 4.5 stars rounding up. read more

Very Fresh Food! It's always cooked to perfection! The staff/owners are extremely helpful & knowledgeable about all the dishes! Great prices, too! We are returning customers! read more

Without a doubt, Pho Real does it right. Every time I come in, the staff and owner are prime examples of great customer service. I make it a point to drop in monthly. Any time I remotely feel under the weather, their pho bowls are such a wonderful remedy. I highly recommend the Shrimp spring rolls and Tofu pho. My dish is always fresh and of course looks beautiful. read more

Pho Real - Take out- Tofu Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Very tasty! Ordered the grilled pork with vermicelli and the grilled chicken, and we also ordered the Steak Pho. Next time I'd have them leave the lettuce out of the bottom of our bowls...that's the only thing we didn't enjoy. Everything else was great. It came with a little cup of sauce...half red(hot) and half dark (Unami) it would be better if the sauces were separate so we could choose. None of us wanted the red and there wasn't enough dark sauce to go around. Soy sauce would be nice too if the have it. The grilled bowls are very sweet and need something salty. read more

This place was so great! Me and my husband stopped by for a warm bowl of pho and were very impressed by every aspect of service and food. My husband got ribs and rice, they were perfectly seasoned and tender (they also came with an egg, an orange sauce for the rice and a bowl of pho broth, all of which were delicious ). I got beef Pho with steak and it was perfect and came with an array of different toppings (bean sprouts, cilantro, green onions, mint, lemon) so that I could customize my meal. The staff were gracious and welcoming and the premises were very sanitary and clean with food handlers wearing gloves and masks. Hand sanitizer was also offered to us as soon as we sat down. Long story short, great food, great people, clean and welcoming. Me and the husband will be going regularly and bringing guests! read more

This place is such a hit or miss for the pho. I've got to go pho from this establishment 3 times now and everytime I did I felt nauseous and had a tummy ache after eating everytime. also the broth is pretty bland and isn't too good unless it's piping hot. Also the one time I got the veggie and tofu pho the tofu smelt odd like they weren't fresh, also had a sour taste to them as well. read more

The owner and waitress were super welcoming and friendly. I ended up getting the egg rolls and banh mi. The egg rolls were okay. I really enjoyed the banh mi, the bread was warm and crispy. While speaking to the owner he mentioned that he had a terrible review about the banh mi and had asked for my opinion. I personally loved it , I could see why someone would complain about the pate paste and how it can be overwhelming to them. It's a normal ingredient in a banh mi so I wish people would educate themselves before complaining that something is not to their liking, but to each their own right? I really enjoyed the homemade "butter-mayo" and the over all flavor. I'm excited to come back and try the pho when ever it gets a little more chilly outside. read more

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST IN TOWN!!! You have to come here. The owners are great. The service is friendly and fast. Don't miss out.

They have a few issues that they still need to work on, and being a new restaurant I am sure they will address these few problems. Everyone has different tastes so do not just focus on my review, read others too. Most of the staff was nice and easy to talk to, there's a number of them. The pricing was a bit on the pricier side of things but not breaking your wallet. The food, is were I had most of my issues with. Now for paying the amount we paid, some of the dishes were underwhelming but I am not complaining about that. My concern is with the flavor, or lack there of. I won't go into too many details but mainly, the dish I had was... a bit off putting but I ate it all regardless. The pickled carrots and radish that was served with my dish today jolted me awake, it was so tart, I had to steal some fish sauce from my uncle for my dish and it was just as tart. Unfortunately the pork on my dish was very dry and very tough, I gave up and pushed it to the side, I felt guilty about it but my jaw wasn't gonna last any longer. The noodles in my dish and the spring mix under it was nice and fresh so I give them that. But other than that, it'll be a while until I'll come back to give them another try. I'll let them settle themselves in more. I try to stay positive about this, and I hope that everyone else has a better experience with this. read more

I've been to Pho Real more than once since they've opened and won't be going to another Pho place anytime soon. The noodles of the pho/bun noodles are uniquely bouncy and chewy goodness. The fish sauce is not diluted like other places and all of the starters are fresh. The rice is not dry and the meat is juicy each time I get it. The atmosphere is a cute mom and pop shop. Everyone was nice and attentive. Would highly recommend! read more

I love this place! First time coming here and I vibed so hard! Love the atmosphere super sunny and cute inside. The service was really fast and the food is really good. Just don't try the tiny sauce and a small teapot because it's really salty. Unless you like salt. read more

Looks like there grill items are probably good the pho had no flavor, like it was watered down. There was little meat in the soup, i was given for gristle then anything. Like I said other items looked good but don't both with the namesake. read more

Friendly staff & great food! The pho and vermicelli noodles and spring rolls are so great!!

ordered a number one today $13 ordered extra vegetables another dollar got home smallest portions ever the broth was cold which I've never had cold broth before so it tells me that it was premade and sitting there. I will never ever come back here and I would not recommend it to anyone it was a rip off. read more

The food is delicious. The service is top notch, and the environment is clean, roomy, and friendly.

I am a California girl who knows her Pho. This place was delicious like I remember. The place is new, the ambiance is nice, it is a family owned business and they are very personable. I was invited by my daughter who is about to deliver, and she had a craving for Pho. She made it clear that she wants Pho as her first meal after delivery. So I will be returning, gladly. read more

Review Time: Pho Real We all knew this was coming; and with this being their opening weekend, the restaurant should put the best foot forward right? Let's see what this new Pho restaurant has to offer. I'm fully aware of how these new restaurants function during their first few weeks. As we all know, not that great, but I will tell you the owners and staff are super friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our appetizer came out after our soup. I'm not one to lie; and if you want my honest opinion I will tell you. I truly hope my review and my discussion with the owner helps them. Unfortunately, no tea was brewed at the time of our visit, which was at 1:30 pm. It's ok, I took a sprite and my other half had a Vietnamese iced coffee with cream. As you can see it wasn't full, but this Vietnamese iced coffee hardly had any cream in it. I love strong Vietnamese iced coffee, but even one sip for me is going to keep me up past midnight. Now food, the egg rolls were really good; and the fish sauce was amazing. I have a very hard time finding good authentic fish sauce around here; and this was pretty spot on. He had Pho Tai; and I had the Bun Bo Hue. The Pho Tai broth had some flavor to it, but it is missing something? The noodles were different, not what I'm traditionally accustomed to. They were larger flat rice noodles and very starchy to me. I'm still convinced that Seafood Station is still number one in my book for pho. Now the Bun Bo Hue was extremely bland. The broth had no flavor, even adding the chili oil after didn't help. I will say the beef selection was amazing in the soup, but we have some work to do with this soup. The owner asked; and I gave him my honest opinion. He seemed very receptive and thanked me several times, so they can work on it. Overall Review: service (friendly and with time I'm sure things will improve) (3/5) and food (work in progress, I hope) (3/5)...good luck to these new owners...O they gave customers free hats today... read more

Good food! Great mouth feel! Solid choice to come for a quick bite for pho. Servers were attentive and worked diligently. I would recommend this to anyone. We stopped here on our long journey to Louisiana. The pho was less salty than what I was use to but the the cuts of meat were really good and fresh. read more

Went into the plaza to pick up a prescription and the name drew me in, super friendly and helpful staff. So much food for the value and it tasted amazing. I got the regular-size beef stew and spicy beef pho. $13 each, and there was sooooo much food. i got it to go and it was still amazing the next day for lunch. I got a strawberry boba for my girlfriend and this was also very good it came with these hand cut peices rather than the usual black bubbles. read more

Best pho in pensacola. We are constantly trying different pho restaurants to find the best and this is our favorite. The service is on point, very nice staff. My husband loves the pork vermicelli bowls and I love the pork and beef skillets, and we usually share beef pho. We also really love supporting this local place. read more

Very small mom and pop Pho restaurant. Their menu is small but that means everything they make is special and from scratch. Their pho ga was wonderful perfect bone broth. I had their vermicelli bowl with pork and it was really really good with dark leafy greens rather than crap iceberg lettuce. read more

Probably the worst pho in Pensacola. I hate to be like that but I'm just being honest. I bought it around 2:30pm and the noddles were severely undercooked, the broth tastes like lightly flavored water and the shrimp were from the freezer isle. With a tip I paid 15-16$ when In reality it was worth 3$. read more

I did not like the food or atmosphere here. Service was good. But not my cup of soup.
