The go to place for delicious Pho in San Marcos! The Pho was exceptionally flavorful! We liked their fresh Shrimp Spring rolls! Their dip did taste different than the peanut butter based sauce I am used to. The service was fast and efficient! The ambience is very casual and cozy. Definitely a place to check out. Affordable in price too! read more

I am a college student and i came here with my friends. We like our pho spicy and they did not offer spicy, so we kindly asked for more chili sauce. The whole time they kept giving attitude like they didnt want to do their job. To top it all off, I get to the cashier to pay with my friends and he asked me to put my signature and so I did. I wasn't thinking clearly, mind you this was my first time eating out without my parents, and I forgot to put the tip. He starts going off on me because I didn't write a tip, and I was confused at first because I thought he was only asking for my signature. Then, he tries to offend us by saying, "what you dont have money? You have money to pay but not to tip?" And he laughed at us. He kept going off on us when we were being calm and collected and I tried to explain that I genuinely forgot. Will not be coming back here. They even charged us for limes. read more

Always have had great food here. The pho is excellent (I just always get that), but my family loves the bun and other stir fried noodles. We almost get take out, but our experiences in the restaurant have been good, too. Service is prompt. Maybe it's a little too businesslike for some, but I'm here to eat, and it's quick and they always make sure your drinks are not empty. Great place. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMERRRRR SERVICE. The owner was so incredibly rude.I recently visited this restaurant, and I have to say it was a complete disaster. The service was excruciatingly slow; I felt like I was waiting for my food for an eternity. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. The staff seemed completely disinterested, and it was nearly impossible to get their attention for anything. The atmosphere was just as bad, with loud, obnoxious music that made it hard to even have a conversation. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

Spoiled food. So disappointed. This is the first and last time ever visiting this place. We ordered 3 R4 and 1 V2. Both 3 R4 were served with spoiled steam egg meatloaf. We informed the lady (owner/manager). She tried to arguing that the food are still good. She said both 3 eggs meatloaf has just been cut but she didn't say how long they keep them. I didn't say anything else. Just paid full of bill and also nicely tip for ther server but will never ever comeback read more

Good portions. The orange chicken is delicious and you can really taste the orange. The broccoli wasn't soggy and was perfectly steamed. The rice was good as well. The crab Rangoon could use more crab, but overall crispy and satisfying. Spring rolls good with sauce. Will go back to try something new soon , thank you. read more

Let me start by apologizing that I did not get a picture of our food, holy moly! The food was amazing, delicious, savory, I'm so happy we stumbled upon this place! We got the crab Rangoons, order number 2 in the noodle section, Thai tea and a egg drop soup. Came out to under 30 and so worth it, staff is very busy, quick, efficient and nice. Def recommend this place. read more

The pho is divine!!! Every time I'm craving pho, this is the place. Employees are always kind and considerate, and I always have leftovers. Affordable, delicious and large portions. I only ever get take out here, but the restaurant is cute inside. read more

Not sure why this place is rated 4.5 stars, it's hard to mess pho up but the broth is watered down and doesn't have much flavor. The customer service is horrible nobody greets you or has manners. Seems like the workers don't like their jobs or something. Nothing really special about this place just happens to be the only pho option in the area. read more

Great food and hospitality very clean and inviting Best Vietnamese food I've had in years, can't wait to go back

Its a spot recommended by a good friend that love come in for excellent food which is always freshly good! read more

The service was horrible. Staff was SO RUDE. It's just appalling how you're making money off of TIPS and you act like that. Felt super unwelcomed. Manager lady at the desk was super rude, never had one smile on her face. Food was great, but service and staff here were so negative it ruined the experience. Please fix the attitude problems if yall are trying to get good tips. Our server that we had seemed to be silent. read more

Great food and customer service. Love the beef flat rice noodles. Everything was fresh and fast.

Great food, service, clean place. Need to try this place and come hungry. We were satisfied!!

Who whoever thought that San Marcos would have such a great hole in the wall Viet spot! Pho Tran88 has one of the best Bahn Mis I have ever had! I ordered the Pork Bahn Mi to share and the bread was crispy and soft, the pork was well-marinated and the distrubution of the ingredients was on point. The owner is a bit rude but I'd go back anyways. I also ordered the Pho Dac Biet and it was average compared to other phos ive had. It will satisfy your crave though read more

Great fresh food! Friendly and fast service. Comfortable restaurant. It's not very big so if you go during a busy meal hour, you may wait. Been here a few times and haven't had a bad experience yet. read more

My sister and I thought we would try this place because it had great reviews and it was the perfect weather for pho. We just moved here to attend Texas State, and wanted to get a feel for the places around here. Yeah, that was our mistake. The second we walked into the restaurant, we were rudely asked how many were in our party. Then the woman pointed toward a table, so we could seat ourselves. As we were walking toward our table, I saw the menus (which were out in the open and very easy to grab) so I just assumed I was allowed to grab one which was clearly my mistake because she snapped at me the second I touched it. I apologized to her and sat down at our table, but she didn't give us any time to look over the drinks before asking us what we wanted. I already felt uncomfortable, so my sister and I just ordered waters. While we were waiting, another group of people came in and started to sit at a table before the woman snapped at them, too, saying "No no no! here!" which the customers then apologized for. The food wasn't terrible, but we ended up taking it home because we didn't want to stay there. The woman who was being rude practically threw the check onto our table, and snatched it back up irritably when I put my card in the tray. I'm not really sure if we caught them on a bad day, but I've never had such a horrible experience at a restaurant before. My sister and I agreed we definitely wouldn't be coming back. read more

Best place for pho! Owner has always been very kind, come in at least once a week! Food never takes long, recommended to many friends and they love as well! read more

The absolute best Chinese dishes in the area! We were very disappointed when they sold their original New Braunfels location, but VERY happy to find that they opened this new spot. Everything is prepared to order, including their amazing home made egg rolls. Don't miss the chance to eat here if you're in the downtown San Marcos area. read more

Love this place. The gf was the one who mentioned there was a new member to the "revolving restaurant place" Apparently the owner had a store front in NB where, as she put it, ".. was the place where we would go to drink wine." Well no wine on the menu, actually the owner mentioned they DO NOT have their liquor license BUT they are BYOB, so keep that in mind. But, don't worry because their Vietnamese iced coffee is perfect and would say, better than wine when in a spot like this Get it if you have never and get it if you are looking for a good cup. We were hungry so we went with the steamed dumplings(?) The pho with rare beef and the chicken and noodles. Loved everything. IN MY OPINION. If a Vietnamese place is good you don't realize that it's good. It taste the way you expect everything to taste. The coffee was as I remembered, the pho smelled like perfect and the chicken and noodles were plesent. It's not until you have bad Vietnamese food that you realize just how special good places are. I would go back, for the coffee. I am happy that the square as a solid spot to grab a quick, tasty meal. Out of all the previous restaurants to grace this spot I hope this spot is able to survive. Suggestion. Set up a banh mi spot outside the store at 2 and serve ready to eat sandwiches for all the drunken clubbers. read more

Pho Tran88 - V6 with egg roll - Vietnamese Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

There was a series of events that lead us to this place on the day after Christmas. They included not one, but three closed restaurants and some dipping blood sugar. We found this place on Yelp and were delighted that they were open. Parking was surprisingly easy to find considering its located downtown. We loved the food we had, the vermicelli noodles and the house special lo mein. The portions were very generous and we took some of our food home with us. The place was clean, the staff was nice, the food was great and the price is affordable. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I have eaten at this little restaurant located downtown San Marcos several times and never have I left disappointed. Parking is limited due to it being downtown so at times it just depends on what day or time it is but overall I haven't had any problems finding parking. This restaurant has only tables available and it is a little small. It is not intimate and can be a little crowded. But it gets like this because the food is good, location is convenient, and prices are reasonable. This place mainly serves Pho and it is really soothing and comforting. The menus are large and are numbered so when you order you can just give them the number or specify what and how you want your order. The portions are of decent amounts of food. There are common dishes available that you can order like General Tso's, Orange chicken, but please look at the menu, they do have a pretty good variety. The service is good and if a timely manner. The staff are kind and are swift with the orders. The quality of the food is great and you won't leave hungry. They provide you with plenty of ice for your drinks without having to ask. I like that. The soups taste great and I have ordered different bowls oh Pho and they all have tasted so delicious. If you are looking for great tasting Pho or other Asian dishes and you are in downtown San Marcos, make a stop here. They take cash, credit cards, and touch pay like Apple pay. Great place to come and eat. read more
