Food: The food is authentic and delicious here! The pho was flavorful and better than many places in NYC. The spring rolls had a thin crispy skin and a delicious pork and shrimp filling. We came with our friends who are Vietnamese, and they speak very highly of this place. Service: Service wasn't great. Staff were not friendly or too welcoming and don't come to check on you throughout the meal. It was a bit chaotic when they were serving the food. The staff didn't get orders correct and there seemed to be confusion. My dish was the last to come out, and a staff member had to ask me again what I ordered before bringing it out. Ambiance: The place is a good size with many tables that can accommodate large and small groups. The place does get packed, and there is often a wait during peak meal times. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Was pleasantly surprised by this place, given it's in AC. Was looking to get away from the mediocre casino food. Pho taste great. I think it's the best that I've had on the East Coast actually. Meat was really flavorful with a strong brisket taste. Broth was delicious. They were really generous with the ingredients too. Also enjoyed the spring rolls. Free parking lot just a few feet away. Enjoyed it so much we came back the next day. read more

Pho Sydney - Condiments - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

This is one of those local neighborhood no frills spots you find yourself keep coming back to. The food is solid, I have tried their beef cube fried rice, their pho and the sautéed lemon grass beef. Their avocado shake used to be good but the recent time I ordered it tasted like burnt plastic and had a weird color to it. I ended up having to send it back. Their pho soup base tends to be on the sweeter side but overall still delicious. There is free parking nearby, the only thing I don't like about this place is that although there's prices on the menu, you can never figure out how they got to the total they provide you. There should be more transparency in their paper receipt read more

Solid Vietnamese spot for comfort food in AC, walkable from the boardwalk and Boardwalk Hall. Service is fast and friendly. Old school vibes with a TV at the bar and booth seating and well as free tables and chairs. It seems like a safe space where everyone seems to diverge in- cops, casino workers, visitors and locals alike. Food is hearty and comforting, nothing fancy and straight to the point Vietnamese food. Still one of the few establishments that serves up Pho and rice plates without the crazy prices. We like their shaken beef, pork chop plates, chicken with lemongrass and pho. Their helpings are big and not skimpy. Street/garage parking. Restroom is clean and decent. Would come back here! read more

Food was delicious but hospitality def not the nicest. Waited for about 20 minutes without being told hi or anything else. Once we got seated even though we were the first in line waited until after everyone behind us had ordered til we were able to. I guess that's Vietnamese hospitality. Food was delicious though would def come back for more food. read more

Pho Sydney - #32 - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Ordered Bahn Mi here for the first time since AC Sandwiches is currently closed for renovation. The sandwich is cheaper than other places but it's noticeably smaller with less meat however the quality is very high and more flavorful by far. Its almost too flavorful; sweet, salty, and smoky. Its definitely a top contender for the best Bahn Mi in Jersey. 9.6 on the Portnoy scale read more

This place is not a dine-in restaurant, no service or saying hi from a server. When you come here you will expect what you want and he will give you cold water and ask to order ASAP. If you want to be treated rudely by a server and expect like take out a restaurant then this is the restaurant for you. Oh, and the server will be expecting tips. Fyi the server put his water glass on my table without asking if its ok read more

I was so happy to find this place. I've been back and forth to AC for basketball tournaments and I was so sick of the casino restaurants and chains. Pho Sydney is authentic and old school. I knew when I walked in and was the only non Asian person, that I had found something good. I started with fresh shrimp spring rolls and then had the lemon grass beef vermicelli. It was fresh and fast. I can't wait to go back! read more

Well I love Vietnamese food first of all. We're trying to get to the place that we did the statues and everything at the other end of Atlantic Avenue but we've not been there yet.

Pho Sydney - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Came here on a weekend & I have completely underestimated the popularity of this restaurant. The line was so long and we waited close to an hour and half just to get a table to sit down. You know this place is authentic when you see a whole bunch of Vietnamese lining up waiting to be seated. The vibe of the restaurant is like an open space cafeteria with some large tables & cheap chairs . BUT ... the flavor of the food was so good and authentic. And price is RIGHT Street parking only. Highly recommend to check out this place if you like Vietnamese cuisine and happen to visit Atlantic City. ©WineDinenVacay read more

Great tasting pho and appetizers at Pho Sydney. I like the name of the restaurant as I'm usually use to seeing Vietnamese restaurants aptly named "Pho Saigon or hut" What's in a name anyways? You either deliver the goods or not and they deliver all the time I come here with hot piping delicious pho and appetizers. The pho broth looks murky which is always a good sign that it's been steeped and seasoned well. The sliced cuts of beef and tendon are soft and tender. The grilled pork chops, chicken and cubed beef are lightly sweet, savory and has a decadent smokey infused flavor that multiplied the yummy factor from good to OMG good! PRO TIP - You can ask them to blanch the bean sprouts. They will already have been cooked when you place them in the broth and won't rob the heat of the broth. My brother in law had the banh mi sandwich which he really enjoyed, he did complain that there were heavy handed on the use of cilantro. Great service and having a parking lot is a big plus. It's definitely one of the better pho restaurants in the Atlantic city area. read more

Pho Sydney is a family favorite pit stop during any visit to Atlantic City. Recs: +++Bun rieu- they have the best crab/pork meatballs and are one of the rare places that serve this dish with pork blood cubes. +++Cha Gio (pork and shrimp fried spring roll)- their rolls are delightfully crispy and flavorful. It's hard to put into words what makes their spring rolls unique but it's one of the best I've had in a Vietnamese restaurant. They have very limited parking at the side of the restaurant and easily fills up during peak hours. Overall a crowd favorite among the Asians in AC and family friendly. read more

Pho Sydney - Bun rieu - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

This restaurant is just outside the outlet shopping mall area, have their own parking lot, gets super busy during peak hours. As you get close to the entrance door, you get the blast of aroma of Vietnamese cuisine. Inside of tue restaurant is average, under maintained. Just enough stuff to keep things going. The menu has most of the well know dishes, soup, noddles, rice dishes, and appetizers. The sautéed chicken was average, the dry chicken didn't help either. The rice was also not the best quality. The fish sauce sorted helped me to finish the whole plate. The Thai iced tea is also pre made and kept in refrigerator. It tasted bland to us. If you are looking for some cheap dining option within a short walk, this is a good place to go and fill your tummy without thinking too much about the quality or service. read more

A diamond in the rough! Great Vietnamese restaurant in AC. They have free parking on the side, but it is tight. Now to the food-- it was great! Everything you would want in a pho shop, they have.

Attentive service and plenty of tables for large groups. There is a parking lot available but it is a few stores/lots down. The parking lot next to this restaurant is for a different store so make sure you read the signs! We ordered: - cha gio (fried spring roll) - Very crispy but did not have much flavor. Even after dipping in the sauce, it did not help much. - bun bo hue: I expected the broth to be spicier but it was not. Loved all the toppings (meat and veggies) it came with. - pho tai nam: At first glance, the broth looked dark and oily but was very flavorful. Great portion size! read more

The house special fried rice looks basic but seriously... it was one of the best dishes I had in a while. The combination of the meats/veggies worked well.. and the sauce was very good. The pork chop with white rice was amazing. The pork chops have a lot of flavor!!! (So was the dipping sauce) If you want real authentic viet food. You have to check this spot out. read more

The ambiance is a family owned restaurant. It's very cozy and comfortable booths are on the wall. I enjoyed their Pho broth. It definitely had a different taste from the usual that I eat. Some of my friends said sweet but I tasted more vinegar in the broth. They gave us a lot of meat, noodles, and broth. We enjoyed our meal here and it was so filling! read more

Finally! Decent Pho in South Jersey but all the way in Atlantic City. So, if you are ever in the AC area and craving for some Pho, you have to give this place a try. 4 stars is because their shrimp and pork summer rolls were meh and their iced coffee was good, not great. Also, if you are going for ambiance, don't. It's a typical pho spot. No bells or whistles but that's how you know the food is authentic. read more

Decent pho! We ordered the #12 and #9 to go. Came out in around 10 minutes. Only large is allowed to be ordered to go due to the containers that they carry. They do a good job separating the meats in the styrofoam containers, personally feel like they skimped out a bit on the tripe and the tendon. The broth isn't super hot, if you order to go, I recommend putting everything in the broth right away. We didn't have a microwave in our hotel room and definitely figured that was the best way. One thing I found a little confusing would be the parking, which was on the other side of Maria's Luncheonette. The parking right next to them belongs to Maria's Luncheonette. read more

What a hidden gem in Atlantic City. Thank you Yelpers for guiding me to this awesome spot. When I think of AC, Vietnamese does not cross my mind. The restaurant is located on a major street but away from the the major hotels and boardwalk. They do have a small, free parking lot. I must admit that this is the perfect food to nurse a hangover and it was exactly what I needed after an eventful night. The place is bustling with locals and it was good sign that this place was hopping shortly after opening on a Sunday. We were lucky to beat a huge group of people and were seated right away. Service is brusque, but we didn't come here for fine dining. The menu is extensive and has lots of choices. We were able to try a few pho, a banh mi, banh xeo and a rice dish. The pho is so flavorful and has a ton of meat and noodles. A large soup can feed 2 people. I really enjoyed the banh xeo and was so surprised how large it was. The only thing disappointing was the amount of ice in the iced coffee. I had to drink it later to allow the ice to melt a bit. Overall, I will definitely return whenever I'm in the area. I'm so glad there's an alternate to expensive casino food or bar food. read more

Whenever I travel for work, I love to check out the local pho shops. So when I was in AC for a conference and needed my pho fix, I came across Pho Sydney. Conveniently located only a 10-15 min walk from the convention center. I actually visited 2 days in a row for lunch. I've experienced a lot of pho and I can honestly say that this was top 3 for me. My pho tai had a lot of tender and perfectly chewy beef strips. Awesome broth and veggie plate galore. Bonus points for bringing a lot of jalapeños. Their summer rolls were also fantastic. I could tell this was a locals favorite...luckily it wasn't too crowded when I was there. I also noticed several AC law enforcement agents eating there, including a couple of SWAT. So definitely a safe place :-) Overall, I loved Pho Sydney. read more

Pho Sydney - Street view - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Fav Vietnamese spot in Atlantic City! Been here before many years ago and so glad they didn't close down after Covid. The space is modern and offers multiple tables. We walked in around 2pm, during lunch and there were plenty of seats. But soon more people came in within the next 30 mins and all tables were taken. This was on a Saturday. Servers were nice and attentive. We got the Bun Bo Hui and it's a traditional soup that not many places I've been to offer. Pho Syndey also has homemade salty shrimp paste sauce that are given with their pho. Amazing, has a strong shrimp paste and delicious. Overall, will def come back everytime I'm in AC! read more

No frills spot for your viet fix. Might even be better than the ones you get in NYC imo esp for bun rieu. I like that they also offered shrimp paste on the side if you wanted a stronger taste in the broth. Portions were a good size and filling. My bf got the pho but swapped it with egg noodles since he doesn't like rice noodles. Viet coffee was strong as it should be. Service is not the best but I came for the food and place seemed clean. They have 3 staff members running the front of the house and food came out promptly. Would come back if I'm ever in the AC area again. read more

Little hole in the wall stashed away. On a cold day, I was on the lookout for some pho. I ordered spring rolls, which came out fresh and piping hot. It was not the best as it was a bit on the bland side. The pho was great, though. You really don't have to add anything to make it what it should be. My only complaint is that it came with very little meat. I added some jalapeño, Sriracha, sprouts, basil, and lime, and it hit the spot. I replaced the rice noodles with egg noodles, which was pretty cool. I never had such thin noodles before. It held up well in the soup. Everything cost me less than $20. read more

Spend a few days in AC & not really in the mood for board walk fare, so took a few block walk off the boardwalk to get to this Pho spot. Worth the walk. The service is fast & friendly. On a weekday lots of indoor seating. The place looks open & clean. The pho is good, broth is savory, lots of meats & greens to go with it. The pork chop that was recommended taste good too, although i like mine with a little more fat on it. The battered shrimp dish was just ok, shrimps are plump but the batter lacks flavor in my opinion. Still recommending this place if you're staying in AC & want asian food within walking distance of the boardwalk. read more

2/5 Service. Tried to call them multiple times just to be ignored and walked away from. Asked for lemons and got limes. 2/5 Taste. Note, the pho has a STRONG CINNAMON TASTE AND SMELL.

Needed something warm and filling for dinner. So we stopped by for a try on our way to settle in for the night at a nearby Airbnb. We ordered a Bun Bo Hue and my friend liked it and said it was authentic. I ordered a Bahn mi pork sandwich which didn't have a lot of filling but it was tasty. Not a bad place to grab a meal.

Unassuming restaurant from the outside and inside. I was pleasantly surprised that the Vietnamese food in Atlantic City was decent. I got a #26 Dried egg noodles with assorted seafood with a spicy tangy sauce. This was actually pretty good in terms of flavors and portion. The beef cubes rice dish was good, the beef chunks were perfectly tender and tasty. I also ordered a pork hoagie to go, which you can skip. It was such a sad sandwich and just wasn't appetizing to me. The next day, we came here for lunch again and this time I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, but I substituted vermicelli with egg noodles and it actually works. read more

This place has been on my saved list on yelp that I want to visit and I finally made it! The pho that I had was the Number 9 and it's filled with many meats and it's very warm fulfilling and delicious! The broth is very rich in flavor and they give you toppings and other side flavors to enhance the foods umami. Too big? Don't worry you can take home any pho that you are unable to finish. The prize for 2 phos is under 50 dollars plus tip. The ambiance of the place is open and you can see everyone enjoy their food. The service was impressive because our food came out right away. If you want to try a new pho place near Atlantic City i recommend coming here. Everyone is so friendly and the food is definitely delicious! read more
