The food was outstanding. However, the low rating is caused by the service. While the food was presented quickly, the waiter with the tattoo on his neck is rude, unprofessional, and arrogant. I actually caught him leaning over trying to stare down my wife's shirt. He attempted to charge me for multiple beers when only one was ordered, and after correcting him on it, he attempted to charge my card for it until I ordered to see the corrected bill. read more

Wonderful chicken noodle soup and Thai iced tea!

The food always tastes great. Nice atmosphere and decor. Order time to serve time a usually short. They could step up their attentiveness to customers but it's still a great place to eat and chat with friends. read more

Better than expected. A little pricey but it was better than Rita's. Had we eaten in I would have been happier with the price.

entered restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the nice decor. cool artsy displays on the walls. menu pricing was bit on the high side, comparing to prices in the bay area where i am from. my wife and i started out with the shrimp summer role which fresh and delicious especially with the peanut sauce. she ordered the egg roll and pork vermicelli and i order the combination pho (the first under the pho options). by far the pork was the most delicious thing we ordered. very tender and well flavored. the pho broth was great. noodles were fresh. came with ample amount of beef and tripe. my wife had the thai iced tea which she loved. i was not so happy with my honey dew bubble tea. the tapioca was not fresh. staff was very friendly and courteous. would definitely return to try other options, maybe the thai options!!! read more

I enjoy the lean beef fo soup. Add a little chilly paste, and bam, slurp away on those noodles. Yum yum! Always greeted by a certain waiter with "Hay!" And lots of thank yous. My daughter likes the chicken satay, and my life likes the red curry coconut soup. Did I mention the coconut shrimp. If you have not eaten here, what are you waiting for. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant! The coconut shrimp are off the hook,they come with a red thai sauce I have never had with coconut shrimp. Portion was generous. My seafood pho was huge and had plenty of seafood. My wife's thai green curry was off the hook,very hot and savory! The prices are reasonable, decor is charming and they serve both Vietnamese and Thai food. We can't wait to come back! read more

I cannot believe I am giving a restaurant 5 stars let alone for an Asian restaurant in Humboldt County. There are very few fair to good restaurants in Humboldt county and I have dined in Eureka, Arcata, and Trinidad. I almost did not want to write a review for this restaurant in fear of letting out a hidden gem. Food We ordered the bbq grilled pork and egg roll over vermicelli, summer shrimp roll, pho, bubba tea and thai ice tea. I am incredibly impressed with the grilled pork. It is by far the best i have eaten in NY and the Bay area. The Pho was good. I am all about the soup base and it is good enough to temporarily curb cravings and not have to run back to the Bay area for good pho soup. The boba in the bubble tea was NOT fresh and not good. The rest of the drink was delicious. The Thai Ice Tea was good. The summer roll was really fresh. Ambiance The decor was a shocker. I did not expect the restaurant to look so freakin nice from the outside of the building. It is not the traditional Vietnamese decor which I am glad. It was upscale and decorative. We went during lunch and it was quiet except for families with kids. Service Excellent. Polite. Friendly. My ice water came with cucumbers and was refilled EVERY sip i took. The waiters came by constantly to check if we were done or needed anything. When they would take some plates away to make space on the table, they would say "excuse me" which is refreshing. I rarely give a restaurant 5 stars coming from New York and basically a foodie whom likes to dine out. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars. I am not affiliated nor do I know anyone who works there. I wanted to return on the same day for dinner to check out their Thai portion of the menu but my spouse thought i was nuts. They got a Loyal Customer. read more

We both ordered noodle dishes and were quite satisfied. Amazing quick service. Food came out hot and fresh.

The food was decent for the area but the service is awful. While we were waiting for the servers to take our order a table of four next to us walked out because they hadn't been served either. If we had been waiting twenty minutes they had been waiting much longer. The place was not even busy it was around 4pm when business is usually slow. The staff didn't even notice the family leaving until they saw the empty table. When my mom went to ask a server if they could take our order the server said yes then as she turned her back another said you can leave if you don't like it. She confronted him and he of course denied it all. We stayed bc we were hungry and so we ordered. After ordering the table next to us had a poor experience as well. We juts heard the customer say "just put the food down and bring my bill bc I want to get the hell out of here. This is just awful service." After those pissed off customers left in a fluster our food was brought over, well all but one plate. I had to ask three different servers for the plate. Finally one server comes to confirm the missed order and then says the order had been forgotten bc it was too demanding. We ordered pad thai with no meat or tofu - what's confusing about that? Its just noodles!!! Either way the server should have never said it was our orders fault but rather said I'm sorry and we will bring it out. It was their fault bc the cook and server forget the order. I saw the server wrote down the order so it was the kitchens fault for not seeing it and the severs fault for not realizing a plate was missing. Coming from a background in the restaurant business, this place has no structure in terms of work flow and is extremely disorganized. The servers could be more professional and pleasant in their demeanor. Small businesses should be extra attentive in small towns flooded with restaurants bc otherwise people will not return. read more

Love this place. I started going here when they first opened and told them to open one up in Arcata....and they did! Sonny's extended family owns Pho Huoang and they are awesome too. Sonny and Angel cook up a mean pho which has a 9 out of 10 broth and high quality noodles, beef and Vietnamese vegetables. Service is always very fast and the place is spacious. The parking is sometimes crowded, but there are spots around the block. read more

The food and service is legit. You order, and like 5 minutes later, your delicious meal is in front of you. While I was writing this our check arrived, and I said to my wife, "we don't come here enough." HIGHLY recommended. read more

Great place to get vietnamese and thai food. Great ambience and good service. The have good selection of beers, I personally recommend Eel River IPA. read more

We love this place because the Pho is the best in town-however tonight we branched out to have the satay and peanut sauce ...it was delicious noting the chicken cooked perfectly! Also the fried rice was tasty with prawn -we applaud staff for continued quick and friendly service. read more

I ordered the pad Thai with vegetables and it was pretty good. Tried my friends yellow curry and it exceptional.

We pulled into the parking lot to a gentleman welcoming us to a table he was cleaning off.. Lolol we had a table before we walked through the door. Attentive, joyful, pleasant staff. Our food was great!! Taste, portion, and atmosphere was quite enjoyable. We will be back! read more

The food was mediocre but the server was super pissed at us because he messed up three of our orders up. Even though it was his bad he took the anger out on us. Seafood soup was salty. Would not go back again. read more

Bad service. Mediocre pho (cloudy broth) and absolutely horrible tom kha. I assume the bad service is directly from the owner, because no employ would last acting that way. Slamming food on the table, yelling to employees and customers across the restaurant. My husband is very rarely is inspired to leave a crappy tip and was forced to here. read more

Really good pho, the house special pho:) it's a little greasy but really tasty. Also the boba Thai teas are really good!

Fast lunch service. I was able to find vegan pho! Yum! They also had tofu spring rolls on the menu. Very attentive service by all staff that came by our table. Scrappy looking building on the outside but interior is very nice. read more

Excellent Curry's and stick rice. Pad Thai not as excellent but then again I make it pretty good. Ambience is nice. Seats many. Service decent. You can always expect a good meal. read more

I have been wanting to try Pho for awhile. Tried several items and the Pho with tendon. Everything was great the service fast and very nice people. read more

Same great food as the original location, however, the same speedy service is obsolete:(

I wanted pho looked around, even talked to my cousin and this place was recommended highly. I was getting over the flu and finally was able eat. I was definitely not disappointed and the broth from the pho was so comforting. I will return regularly. read more

Good soup, service is odd but cool, had me chuckling. Place smelled like cleaner. Parking sucks.

House Special Beef Pho+Carrot Salad+Pad Thai. My girlfriend and I decided to try something new today and boy were we surprised. The food came out extremely quick. Service was a little awkward but not terrible unlike a few other places in town. The Pho broth was to die for and the beef was just perfect with a hint of sweetness to it. I've never been amazed by a pad Thai like this one. The carrot salad was balanced perfectly. This place is our new date night location. read more

They have it done right - atmosphere, service, clean, and the Food. You just can't go wrong, deliciousness to the power of10x10x10x10x10x10

Great food, fast service, bustling with customers but no time to keep the restrooms clean. Important factor overlooked.

Mediocre pho from what I'm used to. Service was middling and I had to flag down the waitress twice before being given an opportunity to put in an order. Beef in my pho was cooked to death. read more

The food wasn't bad, but the service was terrible. The servers are very rude! Especially, the male who wears glasses. The only time they are friendly is when you are about to pay and leave. Probably to save their sorry service for a tip. Honestly, I will take my business elsewhere until this place retrains their servers in appropriate customer service. read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star. Let's just put it this way, if you want to be treated like shit, come to this place. They have absolutely NO customer service and they're extremely rude!!! The food is ok, nothing to brag about. The place is dirty and the restrooms are disgusting. Can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like. I will NEVER come to this place again. read more

Ok, I go because the food is good and the service is quick. Comes in handy when you're in a hurry. Buuuuut, the service is horrible- only because all the times I've gone I get stuck with the same waiter. He has a "I fucken hate my job" attitude. A very obvious one, trust me you'll notice who it is if you ever go. He's rude. The first time I went, he completely messed up my order and blamed it on me. Instead of trying to correct it he said it was my fault for not telling him how I wanted my food. Oh and the table next to us had to chime and say I was being specific. The second time, (same waiter as usual), my friend noticed his finger was touching my food as he set it down and when the plate was finally in front of me, there was an obvious hair on it. I told him to please take it back and bring me another. Instead, he said the hair is mine (mind you- I pulled it out of my food in front of him so it was still stuck between the food!!!!!) and said he didn't touch my food. Finally, after much back and forth he finally takes it back. My friend wanted to cause a scene but I was just tired of the waiter. Next time, I'm begging for another waiter because this one clearly hates his job and is not good at it. read more

Great food, not so great service...and soo cold even the staff were wearing heavy coats. My pet peeve is to go out to eat and not be able to take your coat off. read more

My partner and I went for the first time on Saturday afternoon. Decent food, but wished the service could have been a little more friendly. We ordered the Pho Tai, Tom Kha Gai, Lemongrass Chicken Spring Rolls, and a couple drinks. The broth in a the Pho Tai was decent, but slices of beef flank steak was very grisly and hard to chew. Tom Kha Gai was good but had a very generic spice flavor, as if pre packaged spice blend was used. We liked the Lemongrass Chicken Spring Rolls and the peanut sauce that came with it. The chicken is ground, and not very prominent in texture if spring roll. Lemongrass flavor also not noticeable in dish. But for almost $7 for two small spring rolls did not seem worth it. We tried ordering from their list of milk teas but they seemed to have been out, so only the smoothies were available. We had a strawberry smoothie, which was very good and creamy, but we also ordered a taro smoothie, and that was much too sweet. Overall, good food and cleanliness. read more

This place serves delicious soups, I came in one day and my food was served within 15 minutes, hot and savory. Definitely a good place to get Vietnamese food. read more

This is definitely one of my family's favorite places, especially for take out. They are always extremely efficient, sweet on the phone as well as in person, and the food is always super tasty. read more

This was my first time at this Pho restaurant and I would say it's not bad, especially for Eureka. My goof came super fast and had a good amount of meat. I'd eat here again read more

I have heard this too many times to mention.Dont need the grief,think I'll avoid this place.

I went to this restaurant on a referral from an acquaintance. The food was wonderful but the service was the worst I have had on my travels. There were two very pretty young ladies that came in ahead of me and got the gold treatment. When I came up to the front, I was told to just grab a menu and find a seat. I sat there for 15 minutes waiting to order. When they finally came over the waiter said, "Whadda want?" I ordered, and when my waiter brought my food, he just tossed my plate onto the table. Customer service was seriously lacking. read more

I have visited this place several time and each time they are SO incredibly rude. We wait a long time to be "seated" (get pointed to a table), menus are slammed down on the table, we wait so long to get our order taken or to even get something to drink. Also, the way they talk to people is not okay. We have gone when they are busy and when we are literally the only ones in the restaurant. It is absolutely ridiculous. We have given this place several chances, because we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Food is okay, I usually get some sort of beef pho and its always just shreds of fat or unchewable pieces. read more
