This was my first visit here to Pho Tre Bien and I must say it was great! It's a cute little establishment, the volume is fair, soft music and spacious seating. The service was fair. For appetizers we ordered the shrimp spring rolls with the peanut sauce (pictured), one is very filling as the serving sizes are big. I got the chicken skewers with the rice noodles, peanuts and side salad. It was too big to finish, very filling and good. I found the chicken tough to chew. The peanut sauce is by far the best I've had, it really went well with every item we ordered. I'm not a big dessert person but we ordered the monkey bread with pecans at the end of our meal, superb! read more

Parking was very easy, there's a pretty good size parking lot in the back of the restaurant. I ordered the combination pho, subbed meatballs and added extra brisket. Super tasty! The restaurant had on a great 80s music playlist and the coy fish outside was really cute. The service was bit slow which is why I took off one star. Overall my friends and I enjoyed our experience and we will be coming back. read more

Pho Tre Bien - Combination pho - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

My husband and I chose this place because the menu shows they have chicken breast pho but it was clearly chicken thigh and other parts. He's picky about his chicken and when brought up to our server, frank, he said there's nothing they can do about it he can return it but he very well might get the same thing. Other than that, I enjoyed my combo pho very much. The broth was clean and delicious. The spring rolls tasted like they use precut lettuce which just made them taste not so fresh. The outdoor area gives garden center vibes just doesn't look as clean as the indoor area. read more

This food was nasty. I ordered the lemongrass tofu that came with a large portion size of jasmine rice with a side salad with plenty of tofu. The salad was still wet as if it was just washed and not dried before putting it into the takeout container. The tofu was dressed with sauteed green bell peppers with onions, but it tasted bland. I think the dish needed salt. It did not taste like lemongrass, but spicy. The tofu was crispy though. Upon walking into the restaurant was a bit of a challenge, especially at night, you walk into this door that leads you into this rainforest oasis with waterfalls in the background noise, lots of trees, and there's plenty of doors. I was completely confused about where the door actually led into the restaurant. I had to ask some people who appeared just as lost as I was. They guessed one door which we all got right. Tip, y'all need to add some proper lighting and signage to direct customers into the restaurant. It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I'm not even from El Paso. However, I probably won't even be back, but proper lighting is a must because anyone can fall and hurt themselves out in pitch darkness. read more

Pho Tre Bien - Patio - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We came in with a group passing through on our way to Austin. The place has a great vibe that includes giant koi fish and waterfalls. My group ordered pho of course and I ordered a rice bowl with chicken. Although the chicken was tasty, the rice was not cooked well. I mentioned it to the wait staff and they tried to give me a different bowl of rice. But it was the same undercooked texture. I advise not to get a rice dish. The rest of the food was great. We also ordered a DIY spring roll... that was a bit confusing, but fine Overall, it wasn't bad. Loved the ambience. But that undercooked rice knocked it down a couple stars read more

I've only done take out but the staff is always friendly. Ambiance is your usually hole in the wall nothing special. Food is delicious! The bahn mi is delicious, combo fried rice is delicious! The pork chops are so so good! Highly recommend! The lumpia rolls are good also! One of my favorite restaurants here in EP. read more

So far this has been the best pho place we've gone to with great service, good food selections and good pho portion with different noodle options to substitute. We've only been in Texas for almost 2 weeks. Coming from CA where pho is amazing with HUGE portions etc. We're trying different places to rule out the best and worst restaurants to add to our list to either continue or stay away from it. We're definitely coming back to this pho place! Great first experience so far! Love their koi fish pond! read more

Go to the other location in the far east near the Rib Hut. We were highly disappointed. Toilet over-running in men's bathroom, floor has food and trash all over, the bar was filthy, and the food had no flavor. Service was ok, not great. read more

Was sitting at the bar so I didn't have to wait a very long time be seated. When my pho was brought to me I smelled something bad and realized it was most likely the onions and green onions that was in my soup. It tasted fine so I continued to eat it but when on the way back home my stomach was hurting so bad and I had diarrhea and now I'm suffering from food poisoning. read more

This is a quaint little place with a cute atrium that you walk through to get to the restaurant. Although we were in for an early dinner, we still had to wait to be seated (not long) as the restaurant was pretty full. The broth of the pho served here is amazing, rich and flavorful. read more

The service was ZERO's-our server took over 10 minutes to ask about our drinks, he couldn't get away from our table fast enough, when paying I mentioned to him to be nicer and he just walked away. I talked to the owner about it but she started making excuses for him. The food was -it was ok, seafood pho, of which I asked what seafood it consisted of; small shrimp was over cooked, large shrimp was ok, calamari was chewing, and they should tell you it's imitation crab and lobster, tastes nothing like crab and lobster, jalapeño slices were dried up, cilantro had several black leaves. I don't think I'll go back, I'm going to stick to the one by UTEP, I already know it's delicious and I get great service read more

Always good food good service during my lunch hour. It's clean and quiet. The food does not take long to come out.

Pho Tre Bien - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

So disappointed. After spending $95 on delivery so I didn't have to put my 20 month and 4 month old grandchildren in the car. Half of the order was missing. When I called Arianna she was not at all helpful or nice about the situation. She said yes some of our order was still there but she couldn't do anything about it. So, I had to be completely inconvenienced with my young family and drive to get the rest of our food. When I arrived at the restaurant was dirty and smelled like vomit. I spoke with Arianna who was rude and short with me and not at all kind. When I asked for a manager she said no one could help. Then I asked what she would do if she was the customer she said ask for a refund. So I said ok I would like a refund. She responded she couldn't help. I asked again for someone to give me some customer service. She again replied no one could help me. I am perplexed with why this young girl is the face of there customer service. She has no training no personality and no care. I couldn't wait to get out of the dirty area anyway. The kitchen door was open to the outside drive with overflowing boxes and kitchen supplies. I will never return. Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5 read more

I don't know what happened to this place, but I got the yellow curry and both times it was watery and flavorless I got it once at the Montana location and then the other I decided to give it another try at the Mesa location and the same thing it's like they're following this disgusting recipe. It used to be thick and sweet with mushrooms and green onions and cilantro, but now it just tastes really watery and flavorless and no mushrooms or cilantro. I would suggest going to Viet on Zaragoza for authentic Vietnamese food from now on. Also, the service has gone down too because nothing but a bunch of kids are working there. I called to order and they didn't answer and when they did, they hung up on me and the place wasn't even busy when I had to go on in order. Maybe other items on the menu you're still good but definitely not the curry. read more

I got the chicken pho and it was delicious! I also really enjoyed the tofu spring roll. I would have given this restaurant a 5 star review but unfortunately I experienced pretty bad service. After 20 minutes of being at our table we asked the hostess if we could get a waiter to take our drink and food order since no one had checked in on us. Once my spring roll arrived at our table, I had to remind the waiter about the sauce that comes with the dish. The pho also took awhile to come out. Lastly, when we paid we had to get up to the front counter to ask for a pen since the waiter didn't leave one for us to use. Overall, great food but bad service. read more

About as good as it gets for Pho and vietnamese cuisine in El Paso. Good pho, great crispy fried noodles (a bit pricey, though) and pretty serviceable vietnamese iced coffee.

I order the clay pot with chicken and for $3 more I added shrimp. It was consider spicy but it's not that spicy. It was good . I was disappointed that there wasn't much protein considering I paid extra for it . They have limited parking in the front but there are more parking in the rear. They also have an outdoor seating area and a koi pond . The staff that service me was friendly . I asked him what was the popular dish and I order that . They have music in the background playing . They have nice decorations and try to create an ambiance in here. They also have a bar area too read more

Didn't expect any decent Asian cuisine in El Paso(lots of amazing TEX MEX and authentic Mexican food though) Came in for late lunch and a bit worried since the entrance area looked like "not finished but underdeveloped garden" But who cares? I was hungry and aimed for good eats lol Ordered Tre Bien signature noodle(shrimp and pork) and Vietnamese Eggroll Dipping was okay but I wish there's more side items (cucumber and pickled carrots) Eggroll itself was fine too(a bit smaller yet thicker than what I normally had in any other places) Per Noodle, texture was a bit too softer(seemed "not freshly prepped but extra amount from lunch rush"), the portion of protein was not sure enough for $18 worth I was still hungry with 3pc Eggrolls and a bowl of noodles with two proteins (perhaps I got spoiled by other amazing restaurants lol) However, the service was amazing; friendly greeting and attentive service - didn't catch her name but she got 6stars for Pho Tre Bien in service category! App : 4 Entree: 3 Service: 6 I would try one more time for their rice platter though but not sure when I would come back to El Paso again Good eats, everyone read more

Second time here we tried giving it a second chance after the first time the staff was rude we ended up leaving before ordering. This time around as we went in, there was a written sign on the door that said no brisket and no bean sprouts we waited to be seated as she said therewas going to be a 15-20 min wait but as we were waiting we noticed some people had not been served their food yet. As tables seem to empty out they tried to seat us but the staff started to argue stating that we couldn't be seated due to the kitchen being "backed up." Eat before coming here cause you won't be served with kindness or food. read more

Cute strip mall restaurant with pleasant counter staff. Firstly, the servings are much smaller than at any other pho restaurant I've been to. The broth is under spiced, the brisket overcooked, surprisingly bad for a Vietnamese joint next to an Army base. Disappointing is the nicest thing I can say. read more

We visited in passing on a road trip. Surprisingly beautiful patio seating with ample bonsai trees and a beautiful fountain with koi fish. It provided for a peaceful and spacious feeling while dining. Much needed during the pandemic. I was impressed by their safety measures- they took our temperatures before seating us and all staff was wearing masks. They only seat 4 people at a table and the tables are widely spaced apart. We ordered lumpia rolls to start- decadent crispy fried rolls. Delicious fish sauce on the side. The pho broth was actually really good, and this is coming from someone who grew up with good local Vietnamese food in Houston. I ordered the brisket and tendon pho, and the tendon was ample and tender. They were not stingy with noodles! We definitely felt that Pho Tre Bien exceeded our expectations on all fronts. I'd come back again if I were passing through! read more

This restaurant been here for long time. Quality of food is mediocre. Service this time around was VERY SLOW . Portions for the proteins are SMALL. Took one hour for our TO GO Order after placing it face to face at the restaurant . While waiting we saw sit down customers WAITING and WAITING. We saw other TO GO people hovering around the reception WAITING and WAITING. Promise of 25 minutes became 60 minute--receptionist/greeter was polite but there is an obvious problem with the kitchen. If you are hungry and cannot WAIT an hour - you are NOT going to be HAPPY here. read more

DELICIOUS & AUTHENTIC Vietnamese cuisine! This is the BEST Vietnamese restaurant I've had in El Paso. Food: I had the chicken pho, the flavor was delicious 9/10 lots of authentic ingredients in the broth that gave it a rich flavor. Very generous portions of noodles and chicken in the bowl as well. Appetizers: Try the Vietnamese egg rolls, they looked & tasted homemade! Don't forget to wrap your egg roll in the lettuce! You can add the carrot and daikon radish in the as well then dip it in the fish sauce for maximum flavor! Tbh I'm starting to get hungry talking about all this food lol it was really good! Drinks: 9.5/10 authentic Thai tea! I had to ask if it was the powder before ordering this drink and thank god they said it was freshly made! It was really good and ask for No whipped cream. I don't know why people started putting that on there but it kinda disgusts me and reminds me of cheap American food. So yeah no whipped cream it taste so delicious and authentic as is. I would also recommend the coconut drink it comes with fresh pieces of coconut meat on top! Environment: Very relaxing and beautifully decorated! (There was rock music playing but I didn't mind, however it didn't match the vibe of the restaurant lol) Parking: Make sure to park in the back and enter through the back. Service: Our waiter was a lovely gentleman, very kind and down to earth. I didn't catch his name but he was one of the best servers I've had at any restaurant to be honest! So we definitely had exceptional service at this restaurant too. Hope this review helps! I definitely recommend Pho Tre Bien on gateway! I love authenticity and have a keen taste for authentic Asian cuisine, and this restaurant made my taste buds very happy! I will be back next time I'm in town. read more

The only reason I considered a four star was because they were understaffed, but from what I could tell, not by choice. The waitress was hustling and keeping drinks filled. I ordered the tofu curry with rice. I will be going back to order the exact same thing soon because it was so delicious. The tofu was perfectly fried on some sides. The vegetables were fresh and had a perfect ratio of curry sauce to vegetables. My daughter just had sticky rice, because she's three. The pond is very cute and unexpected as you walk in. The outside doesn't look appealing but the inside is a gem! Can't wait to go back! read more

I wanted a little something after my flight and Vietnamese food is easy and light. Pho Tre Bien has great reviews and it's close to the airport. Easy choice. I ordered a bahn mi but they were out of bread. (It took my server a while to tell me this so I decided on lettuce wraps as a quick option but there was a long wait for them.) I'd wanted a lime mosake drink but my server didn't know how to make it. Another server overheard us and he offered to make me a cherry version. (It was very, very sweet, like drinking cherry syrup.) The pork for my lettuce wraps was seasoned well and delicious. I also liked the pickled cucumbers and pickled shredded carrots and cabbage. My food was really good so I understand why they were pretty full for a Wednesday at 1:30pm. I sat at the bar and the flies were a little annoying (they are attracted to the drink syrups). I would avoid sitting there in summer, even if you're a solo diner. Service was super slow for me and my server seemed a bit stressed. She took a while to tell me that I couldn't get the bahn mi and never refilled my water ( which I was obviously drinking as it was almost empty). And while I was still eating (Food In Hand) she asked if I was ready for my check. I said yes because I thought she wanted to close out her tabs and leave. But again while I have Food In Hand she asks if she can take my water. I say no. WTH?! This new Covid Society gets on my nerves every day. Anyhow, I finished my lettuce wraps and hustled on out the door. The food was good but I wouldn't go back. It's a good thing I don't live here so it doesn't matter. read more

Coming from LA & having eaten pho for 15+ years, this is not an authentic pho spot but overall was executed pretty decently. We stopped by in El Paso during our road trip and wanted to fulfill the asian food cravings so we came here. We walked in at around 1pm on a Tuesday and stood there with no assistance for about 5 minutes until a lady told us they are full so we will have to wait for a table. This was a bit weird since we saw at least 4 empty tables right at the front. Nevertheless, we didn't question her and sat on their bench for about 8 min until someone was ready to seat us. Couple of notes: - There is no fresh mint provided (only lime, jalapeno, bean sprouts, cilantro) - No separate little sauce bowls provided so we used the plate they gave for the bean sprouts - We had to ask for chopsticks since they only give you forks on the table (maybe because the asian community is not strong here?) - The pho is more noodle-heavy compared to what we're used to. Not very generous with the meat portions. Not bad but definitely not as good as LA spots! read more

I work close by so we order from here often because of proximity - but to be honest, it's well worth the drive. I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten from there.
