Pho is very much a preference thing. Each pho restaurant has their special broth and it all comes down to your taste buds and what you like. Tonight two people of our party had pho and one said it was the best by far, and the other felt that our usual haunt in Hawaii was more to her liking. I wasn't able to taste their broths but by smell alone, it smelt really delicious. My dinner, the boneless sweet/sour chicken with fried rice, was a good sized plate. (See attached pic). So much so, it will be a decent snack later on tomorrow in the form of leftovers. The service is what I want to also comment on. The staff was very welcoming and the food came out fast. Please also note that their "spring roll" is what most people call a summer roll. Their deep fried spring roll is called an "egg roll" on their menu so make sure you know what you want and order accordingly. All in all, it was a great experience and we will come back again on our next visit. read more

Pho Van - Sweet & Sour boneless chicken and fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Love Pho Van! My friends and I come here often, and the food is absolutely delicious. Service is a little hit or miss, but food always comes out quickly. My favorite dish is the #2 Pho with pork and brisket. It comes with bean sprouts, lime, mint, and jalapeños on the side, with many fixings on the table as well. This time we also tried the coconut shrimp and Vietnamese sweet iced tea. 10/10!! read more

Pho and Banh mi are good standards here at this restaurant! Friendly staff! It's always busy but the staff is quick with making sure the tables are clean and ready for incoming customers. read more

Decent pho spot in Spokane. The restaurant seemed to be little disorganized. I asked if they had veggie pho and the waiter wasn't sure (which seemed weird because the place is a pho restaurant). However the chicken pho and wonton soup were both good. Honestly, nothing amazing but it was fine. We were seated immediately but once we ordered and got our food, they never came back to check in on us. Interesting system. read more

I have gone to this restaurant twice during lunchtime and it has never disappointed. The first time I got a Bahn Mi sandwich and the bread of us fluffy on the inside and crusty on the outside, just like it should be. The pickled veggies inside and the meats were delicious. The second time I went, I had #11 Cơm Thịt Heo Nướng, Thịt Bò, Trứng Gà, & Tôm. This was so flavorful. The marinated meat was soft and tasty and the fluffy rice complimented every bite. The egg on top is a perfect touch. I bite it with meat rice, egg yolk, and green onion was amazing. This is the first time I've ever tried this dish and I still think about it to this day. I ordered the spring rolls that came in a chewy rice paper wrapping. Although it comes with a peanut sauce, I'm not a big fan. So I asked for a different dipping sauce and they brought me out this sweet fish sauce with pepper flakes. If you're new to Vietnamese food, I highly recommend you try these dishes. The next time I go, I may tackle a huge bowl of Pho. read more

Service was fine. Interior is a typical Asian restaurant that doesn't invest in the space. The food was pretty good but I got the spicy pho and I've never seen a more opaque broth in my life. Not a lot of flavor and absolutely no spice. I always add sriracha and chili paste anyways but the amount I would've had to add to really make it the spice level I usually eat would have just masked all the flavors with sriracha. read more

Dishonest carry out pricing when ordering via DoorDash. Dishonest carry out pricing when ordering via DoorDash. I ordered pickup via DoorDash - $22.00 for pho and $25 for sweet & sour chicken. When I got to the restaurant to pick up I noticed that the menu price for pho was $17.99 and the chicken dish was $18.99. I asked the manger why the large price difference and was told this was a charge added by DoorDash and that I should use the restaurant's website next time and that there was nothing they could do to help me since my order had already been placed. I looked into the DoorDash terms of service and this just simply isn't true. Pho Van sets the price for these items. There is a 6% fee added by DoorDash but these markups are way higher. I did not get my food and I'm still fighting with DoorDash for a refund. Pho Van is dishonest and completely unhelpful and I will not be back.

First time here and I didn't order coz I saw Bun Bo Hue. This is more of the classic spicy beef and pork soup that I loved when I was in Vietnam. Overall, it was good but could have been better. The broth needed a little bit of seasoning and umami flavor. The big big difference is that in Vietnam, they use real pork hock which gives that velvety broth flavor. They used a pork patty which tasted good. Service was quick. Ample parking. read more

Bad service. I sat there for hella long, they overlooked me. More people walked in and they sat them down and they took the order first and I was still waiting. It's because I'm Asian and they're white. The restaurant was not busy because everyone that was there had already ate and already paid for their food. read more

One of the best Bahn Mi's I have ever had. Service was on point and plenty of space to enjoy. Well done!!!! read more

Food: 4/5 I've tried the Ban Mi sandwich before at an event and I had to go back and check out some more foods. My partner got Pho Tom and I got the #26, sweet and sour chicken and almond chicken. I didn't really like the sauce on the almond chicken but the sweet and sour one was good. the chicken is severely fried and they are big chunks. The food came out piping hot which I love, but the food was a bit unhealthy for me, I'd probably stick to the bahn mi next time. Ambiance: 2.5/5 The restaurant was pretty dirty. There were dirty fingerprint stains on the door to come in, the walls/picture frames had splattered food all over them and the tables had a glass top but with a gap in between so there was a lot of food/sauce/crumbs in between the table top and the glass which was honestly disgusting to me. I couldn't trust any of the condiments on the table because of the state of it. Service: Our server ordered with us pretty quickly but then it started to pickup with many more people coming in and we were waiting around for a while, had to get our own food trays which was okay because they are in the center of the restaurant but we had to end up going up to the counter to pay which may be how they do it, we just didn't know. Overall If i were to come again I would stick to something standard like bahn mi or pho and I would take it to go, so I can use my own condiments, cups, silverware. read more

Amazing food (according to my carnivore family) fast and great service, clean, and well decorated but there's NO VEGETARIAN options at all! Even the stir fry vegetables WE know it's fried in the same place with meat and tastes yucky to us. All pho is in meat broth. read more

Made an order, with extra broth and meat. Came to over $40. The broth is disgustingly looking, as well as all meat. The meatball looks like dog food. You will legitimately get better food with top ramen. Called in to get a refund when they didn't add the extra meat that I paid $7 for. Don't worry, you won't be helped because they can't speak English. Don't waste your time...or money!!!! read more

For reference, I am Vietnamese and come from a big city with an abundance of Vietnamese options that were delicious for the American palate but not enough for my immigrant Vietnamese parents (understandably). As so, I always look towards reviews to give me a reference of how someone is reviewing a restaurant so I can set my expectations accordingly. This was my first time here and I got the bun Bo hue to-go. It came out well packaged and very hot. The flavors were overall okay, it was palatable and if someone had given it to me, I would've finished it fine. Bun Bo hue is usually an extremely fragrant, spicy dish due to the lemongrass and various spices it's cooked with. There was flavor (it wasn't bland) but the depth of the flavors were lacking and I couldn't really taste the lemongrass nor the spiciness. The portion of the noodles was also small and not filling, but that may or may not be due to getting take out? Granted I didn't eat the meat (I usually don't, but I still get full from bun Bo hue usually). I will say the people working there in the front spoke Vietnamese and the overall atmosphere felt like it could've been authentic, but perhaps it's been adjusted towards a Spokane palate either for survival or due to lack of resources here (not sure). I would love for them to thrive and would want try other dishes there for a more fair review as bun Bo hue is somewhat niche and may not be ordered enough for them to perfect it. read more

Amazing food and service. Best banh mi in town. Very quick for service and take out orders.

Everything! Bahn Mi sandwiches are great,. Staff is friendly and pleasant to deal with. Thanks again.

1st time trying Vietnamese food. Food didn't disappoint. We had the Pad Thai and the Sweet and Sour chicken. Both were exceptionally tasty. Service was great and the staff was friendly. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend a try if you never had Vietnamese food. read more

Amazing Pho! Huge portions great service very clean.One of our favorite restaurants for date night.

Best pho in town! Warm and friendly service! Love it. Clean place. Do yourself a favour and visit Pho Van

I live in an area where pho restaurants are in abundance. I know great pho from mediocre. Pho Van is the real deal and Spokane is fortunate to have it. The broth is very flavorful and the noodle texture is just right. Highly recommend it. My mom got the shrimp Chow Fun. This was also fabulous with loads of shrimp and vegetables. We would definitely get this again as well. Service was fast and friendly. Will absolutely patronize again when we next visit Spokane. read more

Meat was tough. Our order was taken wrong and I was asked if I could consider a dish I didn't want and was given a look of disappointment when I said no. (It was tendon, I didn't order tendon) and the Pho was bitter. Maybe they had an off day. But I think we're heading back to VINA in the next few weeks. Our table needed cleaning as well read more

Service was fast after ordering. Pho and summer rolls were delicious. Broth was tasty and very generous with the beef and tendons. We also ordered the spring rolls. One of the rolls was undercooked and staff was VERY apologetic about it and even didn't charge me for it. I still would go back again! read more

Okay I'm really giving this like 4.8 but a well deserved 5 stars. The Pho was probably the best we have had in town. The staff was really nice, and flexible about my order. It also came out really fast! The restaurant was pretty typical for any GOOD pho place, lots of seating, and a little hectic. I'm not totally sure what they were wiping the tables down with.. but it did have a weird smell - hence the 4.8 read more

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the city area, and I know my Hubby loves it too for their roast duck. What I like most, is I can get any of their soups with egg noodles, instead of rice noodles. I don't have a problem with rice noodles, I just like the flavor of the egg noodles better. The spring rolls here, I think, are the biggest ones in town, and are very fresh. I love dipping them in hoisen sauce, leaving the peanut sauce to whoever wants it. The staff are very nice in here, and we always see the friendly owner working the whole restaurant and saying hello to all us patrons. read more

Came here after volleyball and glad I did! I got a chicken fried rice and added a ton of hot chili oil - it was delicious, filling, and it should have been enough for two meals but I ate it all in one sitting.

If you're in Spokane and looking for decent pho, get yours here. We usually take ours to go but the ambiance is fine. Service is quick and they never mess up our order. Is it the most flavorful food? No. But it's pho and it's good enough. We take ours to go usually and we add seasonings when we cook it on our stovetop. read more

I went here once so far. Let's start with the food. I ordered the #7. Definitely couldn't finish the large bowl. I underestimated how much I could handle Make sure you add the roots and the lime to the pho, gives it more flavor (and if you love spicy, add the chili sauce). The only thing stopping me from giving this place 5 stars is the right spaces. People kept hitting my friend's chair because there wasn't enough room to move around. There are WAY too many tables for the limited amount of space and can definitely be a safety hazard read more

Ever since this place was recommended, I have been coming here regularly to get my pho craving satisfied. It is clean and one of the larger pho places in the area. You pay at the register after you are done eating. PARKING: Free in the lot it is located. VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE: A little on the pricey side and heavy with the ice, but overall the flavor is good. Would recommend asking for less ice. SPRING ROLLS: These rolls come with pork, basil, lettuce, rice noodle, and shrimp with a peanut dipping sauce. This was a miss for me. The peanut dipping sauce was on the watery side and the spring roll itself had mostly lettuce. PHO TAI: This pho dish comes with steak, vermicelli rice noodles, and in beef broth. This is my usual pho go-to order. I like it a lot! They recently increased prices in Sept 2021 so now a large costs $14 and a small costs $13. For only a dollar more, I'd get a large. It's a little on the pricier side, but enjoy the quality of what I am eating. read more

Outstanding Vietnamese food, the lemongrass tofu vermicelli is SO GOOD. Lots of lemongrass, just the right amount of spiciness, and the salad fixings are the freshest. I can see why they are usually busy when I've eaten there. There are a lot of dishes I haven't tried yet because their lemongrass tofu is so good, I can't resist. Did I mention that I like the lemongrass tofu? ;) I would give this place 10 stars if I could. read more

Uh, sadly our second time we did dine in and were hugely disappointed. The chicken Pho came with some of the things listed below and there was a generous amount of noodles however, the chicken tasted like it had been cooked yesterday. It was kind of dry and maybe could have been refrigerated uncovered. The teriyaki was horrible. The chicken breast was thinly sliced horizontally then glopped with a terrible sauce and served over (not even warm) rice. There was a chunk of iceberg lettuce on the plate and a couple of giant cucumber slices . Not sure what you were supposed to do with the lettuce as there wasn't any dressing. They also served a side of the horrible teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce has to be one they make. I'm going to guess it has (too much) pomegranate molasses. We won't be back and will continue the search for good teriyaki. First review: Really happy to find a Pho place that measures up to what we have in Seattle. Wonderful, flavorful chicken pho with shredded white meat, noodles, bean sprouts, jalapeños, cilantro, basil, onions, etc. but also a bonus of a few crispy fried onions. We ordered takeout but the place was inviting enough that next time we'll dine in. read more

Dropped by on a rainy Sunday afternoon just after the lunch rush. I was the only customer and wanted take-out. I ordered Beef Pho for myself and chicken pho for my wife I asked for chopsticks instead of plastic ware. The order was ready in about 15 minutes and I returned home. Upon unpacking, I discovered the beef pho had a lot of chicken in it and the chicken pho was all shrimp. I also found plastc spoons instead of the disposable chopstcks. When you make a first visit to a restaurant during it's down time, it is awfully disappointing to find such poor attention being paid to the specifics of every aspect of the order. Never again. read more
