Best Pho in town, tons of rare steak, so good. Great service as well. Will be back again soon!

This place is a must visit when you're in Jacksonville. I was visiting from Orlando and I literally ate here the whole weekend. The first night I ordered the Korean short rib combo. It came with fried rice, pork skin strips, and a fried egg. I also ordered the fried dumplings, and the Fried shrimp rolls! Everything was amazing to the point where I had to go back and get the pho. I ordered the oxtail pho and it was more than enough! I even took the remainder home. My friend ordered the chargrilled chicken with the combo. He had pork cake instead of the pork skin strips, and it came with white rice and a fried egg. Everything was amazing! The service was also amazing! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was also nice! It was a bit busy but the restaurant is spaced out lightly. read more

Went there for a Mother's day brunch and was a very nice lunch!! Pretty busy when we came in but got seated to a booth straight away. We got some of the best calamari i've had in a while, it was soo good and did not have the rubbery texture i'm used to. I also got some avocado salad rolls which were fresh and delicious and shaken beef while the rest of our family got Pho. My beef was flavorful and very tender, that my family kept taking pieces off my plate They have multiple sizing for their phos which I like but they said the broth isn't as flavorful as some of the other pho places in the area. I would come again :) read more

Pho Today was host to me and several friends in February. Bonus, our server managed to take nearly 20 orders and everything came out of the kitchen correctly. I shared an appetizer of fresh salad rolls with grilled pork. WOW! This surprised me with all of its flavor. I purchased the create your own pho with rare steak (which cooks when it is placed in the bowl). I loved my lunch and was served enough food for two more meals! It was hot, fresh and packed with a ton of flavor. My first trip to Pho Today was a huge success! I understand now what all the buzz about. I will have to expand my palate on my next trip and try something new. I will absolutely be going back! read more

I got pho, shrimp spring rolls, and krab rangoons to go as a pick-up order. I also asked for extra jalapeños when I went in to pick up my food. The pho and ingredients were all delicious and fresh. I'd recommend asking for more bean sprouts if you also love to have a good amount in your pho. Also, with to go orders, the hoisin & sriracha are put into one to-go container, so if you want more or only one or the other, make sure to specify. The food was really delicious. The krab rangoons had an amazing and different taste than what I'm used to. They are ADDICTIVE!!! I definitely recommend trying those if you're on the fence about grabbing them with your order here. DO. IT. read more

I still find myself dreaming of the awesome UYE that was hosted at this restaurant a few months ago! It was full of great food and even better friends, I can't wait for events like this to happen again! This restaurant is located right near Tinseltown in one of the buildings closer to southside. It has ample seating, whether it's date night or a party, they can handle all of it! I tried a variety of menu items including coconut shrimp, salad rolls, and build your own pho. The coconut shrimp were friend to perfection and were served with the most delicious mango sauce. I could put that sauce on everything. The salad rolls were also a big hit. The crisp greens complimented the pork and the sauce, I need to pick up an order of these soon. I did a build your own pho with shrimp and rare beef. I ordered a large-I should have gotten the smallest size! Definitely a must try in the Jacksonville area! The food is fresh and the portions are plentiful! read more

Service was quick & efficient. I got the rare beef pho, the broth wasn't as savory as I'm used to but it was still enjoyable but I prefer it to have more flavor. The ambiance was quiet & peaceful I came in around 3pm on a Tuesday so it was nice. Only reason I have a 4/5 was because of the broth. It wasn't bad at all just not my preference!! Still good. read more

Came here yesterday for dinner. Service was kind of slow. I ordered the chicken pho. My daughter had white rice and my friend had the lemongrass chicken. Unfortunately, I received a nasty bout of food poisoning after eating here. Needless to say I won't be back. If you can't handle food safely, you shouldn't have a business. I already have gastrointestinal issues and this is not something I was expecting. Should have just waited the extra hour and gone to soupa across the way. read more

We moved from So Cal and were spoiled by the best VN restaurants in Westminster (Little Saigon). Yesterday we went to Pho Today and had Spring rolls and bowls of Pho and were pleasantly surprised. Service was great, food was fresh and good read more

At this point, you should probably just subtract a star from any pho or ramen review I write. Ah, this was satisfying. Bean sprouts look very fresh. I think their extra large is actually a pretty big portion compared to other places. The broth is definitely above average. We have a generous good amount of meat and other stuff. There is significantly more steak than brisket, which is not necessarily bad because I like both, and, hmmm, I think their steak is slightly better than their brisket. The steak is suitably thin and still has that pink when you get it. The brisket here is a tad small. I like it when you get that huge brisket that's, like, crumbling as you start chewing it. I don't really see that here. Other than that though, this is a relatively pristine bowl of pho. Good amount of onions and herbs too. read more

I haven't tried the pho here but the mango shrimp salad was amazing. I started with the salad roll with grilled pork, which had well-seasoned meat and veggies. It was so good that it didn't really need sauce. It was served with a fish sauce that was a little too thin to coat the roll and after trying a friend's peanut sauce, I thought that could've worked a little better with it. Shortly after the rolls came out, I got my beautifully presented shrimp mango salad full of jumbo shrimp, onions, peppers, carrots, herbs, and I'm pretty sure an entire mango was in there. They certainly didn't skimp on the toppings. It was so fresh and flavorful and overall just a unique take on a salad. Others in the group mostly ordered pho, which came in three sizes and which everyone seemed to love. Just based on the grilled pork salad rolls, which were some of the best spring rolls I've ever had, and the shrimp mango salad, I'll definitely be back. read more

I arrived about an hour or so early. Pho Today already had the entire table of 25 set up for us today! Kenny was our wonderful Waiter. I came two weeks ago and he waited on me then as well.

They sure can handle a crowd PHO Real! Service was very good and Kenny was very attentive to our large group this day. This was one of my first PHO tastings and second Noodle house. Unfortunately for me my soup was a bit Phogettable. I received no flavors in my Wonton Egg Noodle Soup with Chicken so its not PHO me, but in Saying that I will return and try some of the other dishes I saw which looked really delicious like the Vietnamese Shaken Beef. The plates of garnishes brought that crunchy, spicy and herby and were beautiful and so fresh looking. I love lots of limes and crunchy bean sprouts..mmmm The object to me is to find what I like and I saw a lot of great items on the menu for next time. Pho Sure..Be Back.. read more

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine, very clean and spacious with a modern, Asian decor. Staff are mostly (but not all) young Vietnamese who speak good English and are attentive to your needs and questions. We order Udon noodle soup and all 3 of us agreed that it was EXCELLENT! Prep time was acceptable, perhaps 15- 20 minutes to ready for take-out. The owner, Kim, is a charming person who knows her stuff and has been at this awhile. And she's giving quite a few young people jobs, skills, and work experience. read more

Well, I've already reviewed Pho Today, so this one will focus on the a superb UYE we put together at this restaurant! But wait! I have to say two things about Pho Today before I get started on the UYE. First, they had the tables set up over 30 minutes before the arrival of the organizers. Totally impressive! Seating was well-distributed and left some elbow room at the table. Waiters were totally excellent in the service provided! Second, not surprisingly, the food was outstanding! I don't recall hearing any complaints from the participants and my lemongrass beef vermicelli salad bowl was one I'd do many times over! As for our activity, I was overly wowed! I really only expected around 15 to come, with reservations at 25. But when I looked at Events page during the week I was astounded to find that it filled with around 12 left over on the waiting section. I was like, "How did this happen?!" When time came and our friends new and old came, there was a pretty festive atmosphere among us. Not in celebration of anything in particular, but just enjoying each other's company and in many cases making new friends. I've been to two Yelp officials and two UYEs and have to say I'm so glad to be part of such a great group of people! You guys have always been welcoming, open in sharing, and know how to have a great time in a respectful way to the restaurant and to each other. I like to talk about UYEs for a moment because I find them very relaxing without the structure of the Yelp officials. Certainly, both are necessary as they promote Yelp in their own way. But the UYEs have a special value in my own estimation and I look forward to attending many more in the future. Along with Goldie and Austin, being one of the organizers made me feel good that it took off so successfully! I wish my hearing was a little better because Pho Today is rather loud inside even beyond the noise we guests make. But still, that didn't stop me from picking on Jaiden, Maisha, Austin, Jessica, and Goldie! Just plain terrific people who exemplify goodness and the enjoyment that these events bring about! For now, it's back to work till with set a date for the next one! read more

I am 100% biased since my sister's friend's family owns and runs this place, but they are always so friendly and accommodating! I went here for dinner for a family birthday. They were PACKED. It was a rough start with getting to know who our server was since one person sat us down, a different person brought our drinks, and a third person gave us our menus. Although there was a miscommunication about what drinks and appetizers we wanted, our server was very kind and patient with us and completed our order perfectly despite this setback. Even though almost every table was occupied and there were even more people coming in after us and waiting to be seated, we were able to order and receive our food within 15-25 minutes after being seated. For dinner we ordered two create your own pho's (one with flank, beef, and beef balls and the other with just beef and flank), one shaken beef, and one crispy combination noodles (comes with shrimp, squid, beef, and pork). Even though there was little to no squid in the crispy combination noodles, it was hard to be upset over it since they made up for this by adding extra shrimp, pork, and chicken. The shaken beef was phenomenal as always, and the pho was a perfect way to end our meal. Pho Today is always one of my top picks and recommendation to my friends who are also avid pho-lovers! I love coming to support this business when I can and I enjoy celebrating many accomplishments and memories here with my family! read more

I have only ever had one bad experience here. However, I believe one bad experience should not be the tell-all review when I have had other decent experiences here. This bad experience will be tied in with all the other experiences I have had at this restaurant. Pho Today is consistent and has a very similar taste to PK & Bowl of Pho. I normally just pick whichever is closest to me and for 2 years, that has been Pho Today because I was living in Town Center. Let's start off with the bad experience that led my fiancé and I to take a very long break from them. This was quite a few years ago, I'd say around 2018. We were having a family dinner with my dad and extended family. Service was good. Food came out in a timely manner. Almost everything went smoothly, until my fiancé found a dead fly at the bottom of his bowl. He was utterly disgusted. We called for our waiter, he apologized and said "this doesn't usually happen." I couldn't remember if he offered to give us another bowl, but I remember my fiancé refusing to eat anything else after that. We didn't go back until 2022. We were really trying our best to avoid it, but my mom's side of the family was having a birthday dinner for my grandma. She wanted to go here, so we sucked it up and tried it again. It was a normal experience. It seemed like nothing has changed from when we used to go consistently. The service, as usual, is consistently consistent (hahaha). We started going here again whenever we craved Viet food or when someone wanted their bday here. Unfortunately, we moved farther away recently and we haven't been back as much as we wanted to. I'm sure we'll be back for the next family gathering. read more

AWESOME place! We went on a Friday night and it was slammed. Really clean, and lots of people were on staff, so that was nice. We had a little bit of a wait to be seated, and to get our check, but again the place was slammed so its understandable. Food was awesome! I haven't had Pho in about 10 years and when it came out I remembered what I have been missing for so long! We got Pho, but we also got some other items too, just to check out the rest of their food, and it was ALL delicious! We will totally make the drive out here next time we are in the mood for Pho! read more

Struggling to stay at 3 stars but I guess reliable and not skimpy. Came here with a large group, under the pretense of affordability and good taste, but it proved to be neither. I got a duck soup, it was OK, I mean, not well made and not tasting amazing either. The other diners in my group were like "whatever", so I guess they were happy they ate... at least. It is a large space, there are TV's and they sell beer. The fried rice looked good, but everything else is OK. read more

Not feeling well today and decided to order some pho. Pho today just has that magic touch whether you are dining in or delivery. I've pretty much given up on delivery besides Chinese, hibachi and pho. It's just as fresh delivered as it is in the restaurant. Quality food and service .... every.single.TIME! My favorite is their rare beef pho with all the trimmings (basil, Thai cilantro, sliced white onion, chopped scallions, sirachi, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime, sprouts) and of course the very delicious broth and noodles. I side ordered some chicken fried rice (my sons favorite and definitely not the typical chain fried yellow rice) The crispy dumplings are pan fried and super fresh .... the sauce is a lite in flavor. I ordered the avocado salad roll.... it must be a Jacksonville thing to put noodles in it.... not what I am use to and not my favorite. The peanut sauce is super delicious. I could eat this sauce like ranch lovers could eat ranch .... ON EVERYTHING! Crispy egg rolls .... I like the wrapper as it is crispy but the meat inside taste a little weird (I wish the would serve these as vegetable and I think it would be a lot better. I ordered from the yelp app which is a limited menu and delivered by grub hub .... my orders was exact as the delivery time. read more

I ordered a veggie pho and veggie rice paper roll. The pho did not come with any Thai basil which usually seems pretty standard and they also do not give me any Sriracha or hoisin sauce. The broth did not have a lot of character, just standard chicken broth. The vegetables in my pho were carrots, broccoli, zucchini, celery in addition to triangular cuts of tofu. There was no bok choy and very slim/meager amounts of cabbage. I guess you could say this an original take on pho but it definitely was not the best I've ever had. It was just ....meh. The rice paper roll was also unappealing and unremarkable. Again it was meager in the filing and just tasted like dry paper with wet noodles inside. It did seem really busy in there though and there were a lot of take-out orders. The people giving the take-out orders out were not very customer service friendly and waited for people to speak first before attempting to look for the order. It was a bit unorganized in my opinion. The dining room was pretty full though, so they must be doing something right. It just wasn't in the cards for me though. read more

Way back in the 1980s, the Coca-Cola company, after extensive testing and tasting, decided to ditch the secret formula that had worked for, I don't know, something like ninety years and that had built a multi-billion dollar company, and rolled out an entirely new tase for Coke. Better. Sweeter, bubblier. New Coke. Yeah, it went over like a lead balloon. There was uproar. There were protests. There was Jolt! cola. People were not happy. I was one of them. In opposition to this particularly bad marketing move, I decided to switch. I decided to change. I decided to drink Pepsi. Pepsi?!? Now, there is nothing necessarily wrong with Pepsi. It is another overly-sweet, cola-flavored carbonated drink. Perfectly fine. It's just not. . . Coke. I tried. I really did. I tried to be part of the Pepsi Generation. I wanted to show my anger towards Coke by moving to its biggest competitor. But when Coke eventually folded like a cheap suit and reintroduced "Classic Coke," so did I. I went back. To my first love. To Coke. Why do I bring up the Cola wars of the 80s? Because my wife and I recently tried Pho Today on the recommendation of some friends. Some foodie friends. Folks who know food. So if they said Pho Today was the bees' knees, then well, we were gonna climb into the old family truckster and head on over to Southside to try it out. First, some of the good. The restaurant is clean and big. We were seated right away and had an easy time ordering. I really liked the interior of the restaurant. We started with the crispy dumplings. They were fine. But they almost tasted like the frozen ones that you can buy at the supermarket and heat up yourself. Definitely not home made. Not that they were bad, just that they weren't great. Not like the crispy dumplings you can get at. . . well, at that other Pho restaurant that we normally go to. My wife tried one of the rice vermicelli dishes. It had egg rolls and pickled veggies and noodles and other veggies and meat and, well, it was bland. That's the best best way to describe it. Bland. She kept putting more sauce on it. Still bland. I tried it. Tasted ok. But she was right. It was good. Not great. Kind of bland. I ordered a small Pho. With rare beef, chicken and shrimp. I do like the fact that they have a good variety of meats that order to put into the Pho. And the small size was certainly big enough for me. The broth was a bit different. In addition to the star anise there was another spice that I couldn't really identify. The broth definitely had a sweet taste to it. When my wife tried it she agreed, and thought that the spice was cinnamon. That made sense. It was good. But was it as good as the other Pho restaurant that we always end up going to? Nope. At the end of the day it was the Pepsi to my original Coke. Pho Today is a fine restaurant. Some of the dishes were definitely better than others. I really don't have a negative thing to say about the place. But its not the Real Thing when it comes to Pho for me. Some may disagree. But then again, some really like Pepsi more than Coke. read more

This was my first time ever going to Pho. On Friday night I was surprised it wasn't too busy and they immediately sat our group of 8. I had no idea what to get and the waiter was very helpful and patient. I ended up choosing the undon noodle soup and IT WAS FANTASTIC. I first tried a noodle and it was so tasty, then the broth and it was just right, then went onto the other ingredient and it was the perfect balance of flavors that complimented each other and weren't overpowering. My husband got a beef noodle soup that was also very good, my friend had a huge fried noodle dish that she surprisingly almost finished, and everyone else had also enjoyed all their dishes. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience and hope to return again soon and try a smoothie along with another delicious meal. read more

Went there with the hubs for Sunday lunch and it was packed. It took about a few minutes to be seated which was fine and understandable. Even with it being packed, it seemed like there wasn't much organization to the madness. There was definitely enough wait staff but service was still a little slow. The food, was sadly, overall ok. The hubs ordered pho and I ordered stir fry udon. The pho was seasoned perfectly but it was lacking the umami flavor from the beef bone. The udon was also lacking in flavor. It was a bit watery and the only best part of it was the roasted pork. I would definitely give them another try considering we caught it on a busy day. read more

Craving pho and this joint didn't disappoint. We've consistently ordered almost once a week since first trying a month ago. I love the raw beef pho, lemongrass chicken vermicelli, and chicken fried rice. Not a fan of the tenderloin pho as the beef is too chewy/fatty for me. The prices are extremely fair for the portions. We can easily make 2 meals out of one dish. read more
