I love Pho Van! The service is always wonderful and the food comes out very quickly! I love how they play Vietnamese (I believe) music. It feels like you step into another culture a little bit, while just being right in the Strip District. I ordered the shrimp pho this time, which I really love! It's sooo delicious and the portion size is awesome. They give you plenty of rice noodles, which I appreciate! I have also tried the supreme pho before and it's really yummy! It contains several parts of a cow that I had never tried before, and it made me so pleased to be able to try several new things in one dish!!! If you're in the mood for something new, or even if you already love pho, I totally recommend checking out this great spot! Keep up the amazing work Pho Van! read more

This is a solid, low-key spot for when you're craving comforting Vietnamese food. Their beef brisket pho has a rich, aromatic broth that hits the spot on a chilly day, and they never skimp on the fresh basil and bean sprouts on the side. It's also worth grabbing one of their crispy pork rolls too. The service is always quick and friendly. read more

Decent pho place at the Strip District of Pittsburg. It is open fairly late and also one of the very few places that remained open at the late hour we were there. The price I feel was a bit pricey but it was also quite average for the area. Service is fast and they come check on you every once in a while. It is just a small family restaurant through and through. The pho here was good. read more

After visiting a couple times, I can say that their pho is one of the best in the city. Located in the heart of the strip district, this spot is perfect way to end your Strip District afternoon! Plenty of seating for small and large groups inside, clean, and amazing service. They have all the classic Viet dishes (pho, com tam, etc). I got the brisket pho this past time and it was delicious. Also got the beef lemongrass rice bowl and loved it as well. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Small restaurant serving freshly made Vietnamese dishes. Ample indoor seating with a few sidewalk tables outside. Basic cafe atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly. They serve a varied menu from appetizers to desserts. The shop also other various goods for purchase (bowls, chop sticks, cultural souvenirs). I had the fried shrimp rolls. Petite, crunchy and flavorful. It was served with an savory dipping sauce. Just right for a light snack. My lunch companion had the Fresh shrimp Spring Rolls. 3 large firm shrimp and vegetables wrapped in delicate rice paper. Very good. Serves with a thick delicious peanut sauce. read more

Clean restaurant with good music and great service. The food was pretty standard fare and hit the spot although the banh mi's bbq pork was dry inside. Losing a star because I don't think pho should be $18.00 nor should banh mi be $12-14.00, but, for being in Pittsburgh, it's definitely going to satisfy my vietnamese food cravings! read more

Do you love broth? Need something warm on those cold days? Pho Van offers one of the biggest bowls of Pho I have ever seen! If you are from Pittsburgh then it is one of the better Phos you can get. Compared to the other Phos I have eaten, it is good but not amazing. Regardless, the bowl is MASSIVE. Despite the amount of broth, it is not watered down at all. Each sip is packed nicely with beef flavors. My only qualm was that I wish there was more brisket, but that could be the illusion of the soup to noodles and meat ratio. Place is small, and clean. They offer drinks but I did not have any. I heard they were good. Summer rolls are good with the peanut sauce, can't go wrong with them if you like shrimp! Overall a good spot I'd go again for good eats. read more

I am a super fan of pho van. I've ordered takeout from here, no lie, at least 24 times this past year. I'm obsessed. I love a few menu items in particular. Their chicken pho is unbeatable. The chicken is so tender, the broth is so flavorful and the portion is huge. Their shrimp fresh rolls are absolutely incredible as well. The peanut sauce is the best around. Lastly, I love their bahn mi sandwiches. Most recently, I dined in (finally) with my mom and she was blown away as well. I adore this place and highly recommend it! read more

I recently ordered takeout from Pho Van. I ordered online and my order was ready for pickup about 15-20 min later. I ordered the seafood soup and a passion fruit refresher drink mango boba. Everything is packaged great for takeout. The soup itself had a great flavor and it was really filling. My refresher was not too sweet and the perfect addition to my soup. Inside, the place is not very large but it was filled up on a Sunday evening. read more

Chicken pho so-so broth, meat was plenty, hubs liked his mango boba. The winner was che dessert- came in tall cup filled with ice; fun mixing it & crunching thru layers of bean, jelly & coconut cream.

Ordered this pho for take out one night and was pretty excited about it only to literally put this on my, "NEVER AGAIN," list. Why are the broth and veggies packaged together? It's basic knowledge to know that the veggies will wilt if packaged this way. The amount of onion, parsley, jalapeño and tiny sliver of lime I got was almost laughable. Moving here from Seattle I was prepared for the different Asian cuisines to not be as good but wow. This place is pathetic and embarrassing. Will never be ordering again and will be sure to spread this knowledge. read more

The supreme pho is so good, especially with the eye round that's super thin and cooks right in the hot broth. The meatballs, brisket, tripe, and tendon all give it different textures, like the brisket is tender, the tendon is kinda chewy but in a good way, and the tripe adds something different that makes it feel authentic. With the bean sprouts, basil, and jalapeños on top, it just tastes fresh, flavorful, and honestly like the perfect comfort food. read more

A New Year's Eve tradition we have been doing for years is venturing out for some pho for dinner. The past two years we came here. When we arrived the dinning room was empty. We were promptly seated and given water. Within a few minutes of looking over their menu more patrons started filtering in. We already knew what we were getting as it is the tradition. We ordered the vegan pho and the tofu summer rolls. I could eat a truck load of summer rolls. I absolutely love them and always ask for Thai chili paste to eat them with. The peanut sauce is too sweet for me. Mixing the two together can be quite tasty. Food came out quickly. The Pho was good. It's definitely a different taste than more traditional phos that include meat, it does lack that complexity. However, I am happy for the vegan version, and they do a great job taming the sodium, it was not too salty like some phos can be. The toppings which I use all of them, helped make the dish quite tasty. The rolls were delicious as usual. A little pricey for pho but everything is pricey now so it is what it is. I definitely will keep coming back. read more

This place was my partner's go to pho spot growing up and I was so glad I got to visit for the first time. I cannot wait to return!

They have a wide variety of different noodle soups, rices, and vermicillis. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Pho Minh Soup), which came with rare beef, beef balls, flank steak, and chicken. The broth was decent -- not the most flavorful I've had, but still satisfying. My partner got the Bun Thang, a vermicelli soup with chicken, egg, pork, and shrimp. Unfortunately, the broth on that one was a bit bland, and the toppings weren't finely shredded. Solid portion size though, since I left very full. The ambiance reminds me of hole-in-the-wall type restaurants - simple, no-frills, and a spot of the locals. Fyi: this place only accepts cash, so come prepared.

We ordered and paid inside at the counter and grabbed sauces, napkins, and utensils. They brought the food out to us. Everything we had was pretty flavorful and my favorites were the banh mi and the wings. It is a little pricey but considering the fact that Pittsburgh has very few Vietnamese restaurants, it's probably a normal price for Vietnamese food in Pittsburgh. I would come back for the banh mi and wings and to try their pho!

The veggies are so crispy and the meat is so tender, with a little bit of creaminess from the mayo and sweetness from the marinated meat, this sandwich is perfectly balanced! The staff is so kind and quick to serve. If you don't like spice, or only like a little kick, I would say steer clear of the jalapeños because as thinly sliced as they are, they're HOT!

Service was efficient but brusque/distracted. My noodles were dry and bland, and quantity was about 70 percent of normal. The other 5 at the table also felt their food was just alright. I'm please they take cards now: the cash-only model was suboptimal. And, the bring-your-own drinks approach is excellent. Overall, I'm a fan and will go back. But, this visit was just three stars.

Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food.

There was a friendly gal at the door taking names and numbers. I could hardly believe the wait time but decided to put down my name and do a little window shopping during the wait. We were eventually called and texted to let us know our table was ready. Our table was in the very back corner, next to a group of girls loudly talking about their drunken escapades the night before. It was entertaining to say the least. Our server was super friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions/modifications. I ordered a Turkish Benedict on gluten free toast.... So. Good. Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!
