Pho was okay, but pricey. I only gave this 1 star because of the service. We rarely go out to eat. The server was rude and disappeared after bringing the food, to talk on her cell phone. When we asked if there is a small spoon she just said no and then we asked for plastic spoon, her attitude was not acceptable. She just looked angry and miserable, not a good way to treat your costumers, with the rising cost of food. read more

So this is a review to address all the negative reviews about their food. I understand people have knowledge and experience with Vietnamese cuisine, but that doesn't make you an expert at every Vietnamese restaurant that exists. Every restaurant tends to have their own style when it comes to preparing certain meals. A lot of these reviews that I am reading are actually just big misunderstandings that people like to jump to conclusions with. For example, I see people complaining about the meat in their pho being extra fatty and chewy. That is because of what you order; if you get a pho with "fat brisket" in it, then the meat will have an excessive amount of fat on it (some people like the fatty part that's why it's there). Another thing is that people are confusing what you are supposed to get as a side with your meals. I saw a review where someone complained about getting fish sauce with their grilled pork roll instead of peanut sauce. They claimed that they were very knowledgeable in Vietnamese food, but if they were, they would know that fish sauce is correct for that appetizer. Another thing I wanted to address was the portion sizes. If you mention to them that your portion of noodles, meat, or anything else seems small they will accommodate accordingly (if the portion is actually incorrect). They only have one size (XL) for their takeout and that is because of the size of the to go containers they purchase. OF COURSE your takeout order is not going to match the exact portion that you would get while in-house because the containers (which COST MONEY) are not the same size as the dinnerware. This goes for any other restaurant - your experience will always be better when you eat in compared to taking out. I saw a complaint where the meat in their takeout pho was raw. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE RAW so that it can be cooked by the broth after reheating it. Otherwise, you can ask for them to cook the meat for you before packing it. Authentic pho is supposed to be cooked how I described, so taking out pho will always be an issue. It isn't the restaurants fault, it's an issue of just taking a meal to go that is very hard to prepare TOGO. Another thing I wanted to address was people commenting about how the broth is too fatty on certain days compared to others and that's just a huge misunderstanding. Pho is naturally a very fatty soup and every Vietnamese restaurant tries to get as little fat in their soup as possible. However, the toppings that you order in your soup can determine this as well. For example, if you order any pho with tendon or fat brisket, the soup will be fattier. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE FATTY MEATS. It's like ordering a steak and complaining that there is blood when you squeeze the meat - crazy and ignorant. If you took the time to understand the reasons why your food is a certain way, you will come to the conclusion that Pho Today isn't intentionally giving you fattier meals to cheap out or skimp. For the drinks (like the Thai tea and Vietnamese iced coffee), they give the same portion of liquid in every cup and fill it with ice. So if you ask for less ice, there will be the same amount of drink in it as if you had ordered it with more or even no ice. It's called PORTION CONTROL. No customer is more special than the other and you are not a life hacker or restaurant guru if you are thinking you can get a more out of certain items on the menu by requesting slight changes. You won't be able to mix and match meats in your pho because certain meats cost MORE than others. So it wouldn't make sense in a financial standpoint to give whatever choices of meat willy nilly to every customer. They keep the portions to a very professional level and try their best to treat every customer with the same respect throughout all their locations. I want to mention some things I don't agree with. First, they have items on the menu that tend to be less worth than others. The shrimp tempura is overpriced for a very small portion. I have addressed them about this, but haven't gotten it since so I can't tell you if it's changed. It's sad because those fried little shrimps are fire. Second, their kids and vegetarian menu are very small. I would like to see a larger variety for both. I do know that their other locations provide a larger range, but I think it could be bigger. Third, their service does lack. I do understand though because it is meant to be a very fast-paced restaurant where you sit, order, eat and leave (like most asian-owned places). In order to have the best experience at Pho Today, all you need to do is COMMUNICATE with the staff. If you have a problem, address it with an OPEN MIND and don't try to think you are always right. The customer being always right is the biggest lie in the food industry and people tend to go into these places with a humongous ego. You are an asshole if you do that. There's a lot more to be said, but I ran out of space on this review, might make a part 2 in the future. read more

Excellent food! I ordered takeout, a Grilled Pork Banh Mi, a Mixed Meat Banh Mi, and a pork pho. The banh mis were surprisingly filling and tasted very good- there were hidden jalapeños inside, so be aware! Prompt service and excellent food. read more

Upon recommendation from my son (who has eaten there several time) we ordered dinner to take home. What a meal!! Spring and summer rolls, shrimp pho and banh mi graced our table. Spectacular. The appetizers were delicious, the pho was among the best I've had and the pork was grilled to perfection in the bang mi. I can't wait to have another meal prepared by such talented chefs. read more

Picked up chicken and pork Bahn mis today. The flavors are great with fresh vegetables but with stale baguettes. They must've been few days old. It was so disappointing. read more

This has to be one of the greatest Vietnamese restaurants I've ever tried! I love how they have "create your own pho." Their broth is amazing and the pho itself comes out hot and is rich in flavor, which is great for the upcoming winter. The size is perfect and will fill you up! Upon their rice dishes, the meat is seasoned well and is perfectly grilled to perfection. As to their drinks, they have a great selection of milk teas to smoothies along with their famous Vietnamese iced coffee which is tasty! I don't understand the backlash this restaurant has gotten. I definitely had a great time and the service was very attentive and welcoming :) read more

Their food is not bad but overpriced. Order a pickup for 2 Large Phos and they gave us XLs and charged more. I wasn't too thrilled when I got home. read more

I'm not sure where the bad reviews are coming from but this is one of the best Vietnamese places I've eaten at . And I'm glad they're doing their best and remaining open during COVID. Will definitely keep coming here! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurant in Fort Lee, but today will be my LAST visit. I found a huge plastic wrap in my food so I called old guy in the lobby. No apologies but he got me new food. I couldn't finished my food after all this. No discount was given and once again NO apologies. Hmmm if I was a manager and if my customer found a nasty plastic wrap in their order I would have probably offered...at least free soda. read more

Full of flavor. Tried the large brisket bone marrow pho. Was tasty, my friend got the regular pho which she did enjoy. Probably will try the oxtail and rare meat pho next time. Friendly service read more

Pho Today - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

The pho I had was fine. But yeah. The reviews complaining about the customer service are legit. The young guy waiting tables had his airpods in and was completely engrossed by his phone. I know I'm not eating at a michelin star place, but c'mon. I had to literally yell a part of my order across the restaurant because he had taken the menu out of my hands and was walking away halfway through my order. I didnt want to try to wave him down for my check 'cause he definitely wasn't gonna look up from his phone so I went up to the waiter station to pay. Ridiculous. read more

Pho Today - P16 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

I've been a long time and consistent customer since the grand opening and I feel the staff recognizes me as usually come with two or three coworkers. Today, there was something off with their broth and I'm not one to usually complain but today no one in my party was feeling the broth. We said something to the waiter and owner/manager and all they said was "oh we tested it, it's fine," to "oh it may be watered down," but didn't offer us anything to make it right. Again I must have eaten here over 100 times and today I said something to try to help them fix their batch for today (2/5/2020) and they did nothing to make it right for long time customers for example maybe give us a break on the cost of our bubble teas but we got nothing. Due to their lack of caring for their customers, I won't be returning here and will tell all my coworkers to just go up the street to Phobu for better food and customer service. read more

Perfect pho, the best I've had at any restaurant. Soup has the right taste and isn't super salty like many other places. read more

Pho Today - P2 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

hello, this was my go to place for Vietnamese food but the OG crew is not there anymore. First the cook then the servers. We are very disappointed John. read more

Ordered a banh mi 2 to go as I had to be back for a quick call. Tried to beat the lunch rush and still took 25 mins for my sandwich. The counter person also gave me the wrong change and didn't realize it until I had to do the math for him. Sandwich was $8 I gave him $20. He gave me back $5.20 (huh). Got the sandwich brought it back to the office and bit into cold hard bread when it was probably only toasted half the required time and flavorless chewy meat. Never coming back here and don't know why it was so packed when I left. Maybe the pho is a lot better then a basic sandwich. read more

Never eating in this establishment again. The taste of the food is not the issue, it's at least average to slightly above average- that's the only saving grace here. It's the service and cleanliness that's the issue. As stated in many other reviews the "manager" is the most unprofessional- wearing AirPods, chomping down on food and on his computer, all while supposedly on the clock working. We found an obviously used bandaid in our pho the last time we ate there and was dismissed by the "manager" and he came up with some absurd story that they leave bandaids near the cooking station for the staff and one "accidentally" dropped into the pho. First off, the bandaid wasn't in a package so it was clear his story did not corroborate. Additionally, afterward you can hear him yelling in the back telling his staff to wear gloves. If the health inspectors came here on any day, they would clearly be in violation. I am thinking about contacting them myself I'm so abhorred. Additionally, I had to ask him to come over a second time around before any compensation was provided, but he still wouldn't tell the truth that his worker probably wasn't wearing gloves and the bandaid slipped in. Don't eat here unless you want to find a band aid in your food and be lied to your face. read more

Pros: food is great, food comes out fast, staff is friendly, has banh mi sandwiches, did i mention service is quick? Cons: staff seem little inexperienced but probably due to just opening up, appetizer came 2 minutes after we ordered and then pho came out 2 minutes that. Didnt really give us the time to enjoy ourselves, converse etc. Scary manager overseeing everything but hey its his business, waiters seemed a little all over the place, forgot the beanstalks!!! Overall: quick grab for food come here, can use little more meat in the pho but very friendly staff. More variety of pho selections and very clean inside. B+ in my books read more

Everyday pho place, but their steak (pho Thai) is too thick and chewy. If its sliced thinner, maybe it will be less chewy. The pork chop is good, but way too small of a portion for the price they charge. The side order of porchop is less pruce and more chops. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are pretty good. read more

The best broth in the area! Also have tried the papaya salad and it was delicious. I've had the pork cutlet and that had a lot of flavor and super tender. I do agree with other reviewer that the staff and management are so fucking rude. I just walked right out because the attitude was so bad I was about to smack the shit out of somebody. Other times it was bearable and I just dealt with it because I was dying for some good pho. Management needs to learn how to manage stress because this restaurant gets busy. read more

I really enjoy the food there that I couldn't wait to take a photo of it. I came there with my family and all dishes remind us of vietnamese cuisine. Definitely will come back every weekend!!!! read more

Honestly it was such a relief to find this hidden gem. The food was immaculate. Service impeccable. I always get the grilled chicken on rice with the shrimp summer rolls and they never fail to amaze me. read more

Really good vietnamese food, reminds me of home. The pho is authentic and the portion is filling! Service is fast and friendly.

Flavorless sandwiches ... could barely taste any flavor . I mean ANY. good thing was the jalapeño was spicy. I don't know if it's because of the different regions of Vietnam so the food might taste different but, please , go to Chinatown . Or try Joju in elmhurst . Then make it better here in NJ. So disappointed . The pickles . How could you mess up the pickles . It was totally bland. HOW tho? read more

Love this place for take out. So quick and good portion and tasty. Don't really like their fried spring roll. Most times order the complete rice platter with pork bbq, pho and spicy beef soup although I don't like this dish noodle and prefer the pho noodle. read more
