Came here Monday after Coachella. They were able to quickly accommodate our large party. Service was quick and someone came out a few times to check on us and refill our waters. I ordered a noodle dish and spring rolls. Peanut sauce was well mixed. Food was pretty decent. They were also able to split the bill multiple ways which was great! A few tables inside and outside. read more

Pho Vu - Spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - La Quinta, California

We stopped by on Monday around 7pm and the place was packed. We waited maybe 15-20 minutes to be seated and the food took a while. We both got the pho tai and enjoyed it because the broth was flavorful without it being too salty or strong. The spring rolls were quite noodle heavy - not bad but we wish the proportions of the ingredients were more even. If you're in the area and craving pho, this is really your only option but definitely a good one! Service is pretty nonexistent so you'll need to flag down a waiter if you want something beyond them coming by to take your food order and bring your food. Plenty of parking available. read more

A Culinary Love Letter to Pho Vo: Where the Broth is Hot and the Restrooms are Heavenly If you're roaming through La Quinta and your stomach starts singing the "I'm empty" song, do yourself a favor and steer your vessel toward Pho Vo. Look, we've all been to those restaurants where the service makes you feel like you're an uninvited guest at a funeral. This is not that place. The Speed-to-Stomach Pipeline Whether you are doing the "frantic parent to-go dash" or looking for a "sit down and forget my responsibilities for an hour" lunch, Pho Vo delivers. The food doesn't just "arrive"--it emerges from the kitchen piping hot, as if it was forged in the fires of a delicious, aromatic volcano. It's consistent enough that you could probably set your watch by the arrival of your spring rolls. Mistakes? We Don't Know Her (But If We Did, She'd Be Fixed) We live in an imperfect world. Sometimes a stray bean sprout ends up where it wasn't summoned. But here's the kicker: if your order isn't 100% spot on, the staff at Pho Vo will fix it faster than you can say "extra Sriracha, please." They handle tweaks with a level of grace usually reserved for royal diplomats. You want it right? They want it right. It's a beautiful, symbiotic relationship. The "Clean Enough to Eat Off Of" Award Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room--or rather, the lack of elephants in the restroom. Usually, restaurant bathrooms are a "hold your breath and pray" situation. Not here. The restrooms are immaculate. They are so clean, you'll find yourself wondering if they have a dedicated "sparkle specialist" on staff. Honestly, you could probably host a small, very hygienic board meeting in there. The Verdict In short: the food is amazing, the service is top-tier, and the vibes are immaculate. Whether you're slurping noodles in a booth or grabbing a bag of goodness to-go, Pho Vo is the reliable best friend of the La Quinta food scene. Go for the Pho, stay for the remarkably clean tiles. read more

The soup, spring rolls, and egg rolls were decent overall. Pho broth we received was very salty and bland, and you could barely taste the meat in it. Service was where things fell short. Our server seemed to have trouble keeping track of orders, not just at our table, but others around us too. One of my friend's orders was forgotten, and they ended up waiting while the rest of us already had our food. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially with service and consistency. read more

Been coming here for years. On a Thursday night I came with my family as the sign states they are open until 9pm. I walked in at 8:30pm and the staff said they take their last order at 8:30pm. I explained that it was 8:30pm and their sign says open until 9pm. I asked if I could order to go and they said "No." Why not say they close at 8:30pm and not 9pm if that's the case. I'm not unreasonable but what a waste of my time. read more

Pulled up with a party of 11 people. We had to wait for about 10-15 mins so it wasn't too bad. They made a long table for us outside. We ordered our food and they brought it out pretty fast. I thought service was pretty decent. They constantly refilled our waters. We did had to go inside to pay the bill and they were willing to split the bill per item, which was nice. The food was good for attending to a large party. I think they did really well. read more

WOW. This place is an absolute gem! We discovered it while attending the Indian Wells tournament and ended up coming back the very next day because the food was just that good! The pho is hands down the best pho I have ever had. And I say that as someone who absolutely loves pho and orders it everywhere. The broth is incredibly flavorful but still tastes clean and authentic. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all, just rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. The chicken is real chicken breast and honestly some of the best I've ever had in pho! The spring rolls were also fantastic. Super fresh and generously packed with shrimp and pork. The staff here are unbelievably kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can really feel the warmth and authenticity of the place! One detail I really appreciated is how incredibly clean everything is. The utensils were spotless! I've been to places where the spoons can feel a little greasy or have stains, but here everything was perfectly clean. You can tell they really care. If you're anywhere near Indian Wells or Palm Desert, do not miss this spot! Truly one of those places you're so happy you discovered! read more

3.5/5 After a quick gym session at PF before heading home, I decided to grab a chicken and rice plate. Vietnamese meat and rice dishes always come through, and this was my first time here. While the portion size was decent, I've had better elsewhere. The chicken itself was good, but the rice portion was hella small, which I can eat a lot of! The place seemed very busy, and I'm sure they get a lot of patrons during the colder winter months to enjoy a nice comforting bowl of pho! read more

So glad I stopped in today while running errands. Top tier service: From being sat, to the check in's, & the bill coming within 30 seconds of them seeing me putting my chop sticks down. Everyone was so kind and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions are generous and the food is authentic. Definitely gained a new customer as I'm new to the area. Looking forward to coming back and trying more. read more

Pho Vu - Combo stir fried egg noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - La Quinta, California

Food: Amazing every time we go. Service: i feel like even when they are short staffed they try to accommodate as quickly as possible. The ambiance is cozy, traditional. I love coming here especially when it's a cloudy day in the desert. read more

It was the day after my cousin's wedding and we were in desperate need of some soup to bring us back to life! Pho Vu fit the bill. Luckily, it wasn't too far from the hotel we checked out from. The place was pretty busy with varying ethnicities but also a lot of Asians, so that was a good sign lol. We both ordered pho (dac biet and chin, nam). Ratios were perfect and the broth and meat were made well. Also ordered banh xeo and a Vietnamese iced coffee. I'm not usually a coffee person, but really enjoyed this one. Coming from the Bay Area, we weren't expecting much but everything hit the spot. Service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Would totally come here again if in the area. read more

Pho Vu is one of my go to places in the desert! On a cold day or when you just feel like something comforting, the pho is perfect. I also really like their pork chop plate, it never disappoints. Everyone I've introduced has also really liked the food. Usually it doesn't take long after ordering for the food to come, and service getting in is very fast. Parking is pretty easy, highly recommend! read more

Not only Great food, but Great people Very kind and generous! When my wife passed,they were kind beyond words. read more

I was attending a Yelp event at Bermuda Dunes. Afterwards, I text my dear friend who was on vacation with her family in Palm Springs at the time. I wanted to meet up with her since we were both in the desert neighborhood LOL. Luckily, they were available. We headed to Pho Vu in La Quinta for dinner. We got here an hour prior to closing. They weren't too busy at the time which was good for us. Their menu has a variety of food and drink selections... pho, rice, vermicelli, crepes, etc. I normally don't get Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe), but I said why not so I got it. It was a large crepe and surprisingly a very crispy one. Usually, these crepes are not supposed to be crispy. This must have been a special crepe LOL. It was quite tasty actually. I enjoyed it very much especially with the flavorful shrimp and bean sprouts inside and the abundance of fresh veggies and fish sauce that came along with it. I would get it again! Thank you my friend for treating dinner! Staff was okay. Service was decent. Ambiance was nice, but they need to fix their AC or get better fans. Fans blowing hot air doesn't cut it. It was really hot in here unfortunately. They also have limited outside seating. Anyway, I would come back here when I'm in the Palm Springs area especially when Handel's Ice Cream is right next door LOL. P.S. They also have a location in Palm Desert. read more

Very busy for a friday night. Was surprsied to see all the different demographics of clientele. Actually not many asians lol. Everyone was having a good time, the servers were very busy but for the desert we can't be choosers. We had the meat ball pho, chicken pho ga and pho tai. Wish they gave more veggies in it and the portions were smaller than others. would probably come back but there are SOO Many places to try before I come back. The place was clean and parking plentiful! read more

Tried Pho Vu for the first time. The pho was okay, but the flavor wasn't as rich or deep as I'd hoped. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of taste and overall experience. It wasn't bad, just not very impressive. read more

Pho Vu - Filet mignon & pho - Vietnamese Near Me - La Quinta, California

Good authentic Vietnamien food, good service. Very bad aeration from the kitchen. After a meal inside the dining room, you need to change all your clothes and take a shower. The cooking smells stick to you from head to toe. read more

Came on a Saturday at noon with around 10 people and we were seated promptly. Even though our group arrived separately, the staff was incredibly accommodating. They offered to take our drinks and appetizers order first while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive, which was a thoughtful touch. The Vietnamese coffee and spring rolls were outstanding - perfect starters while waiting for the other group to arrive. Their vermicelli bowls, served cold, were a refreshing choice in the hot weather. The slightly sour fish sauce added an appetizing zing that made the meal even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. read more

Amazing pho!! Ordered chicken and shrimp one it was delicious. Ordered was to go and they supplied everything I needed.

One of the best Vietnamese places around! The shrimp pho is flavorful and comforting, and the spring rolls are fresh and delicious. Great quality food and consistent taste every time. Definitely a go-to spot when craving Vietnamese food. read more

Favorite spot in the valley for my Vegetable Pho, I always enjoy coming here especially after a long day. The employees are sweet and they accommodate to what you may ask without questioning it. Out of all the years i've been coming here not once have i been disappointed. There's an ambiance that is quite comforting and hard to find compared to other spots i have explored in the desert. read more

I ordered pho briskets (food number 13). The meat was very tender and tasty. And also the Egg rolls were very crunchy and good. The servers were very kind and quick. Seats between customers were not too closed. We really enjoyed the dinner. read more

Three of us ate here for the first time and we all had the #13 Pho Chin. I traveled to Ho Chi Minh 5 times a year for 10 years and although the broth is not as good as being in Vietnam it was really good. The portion size was huge, the soup was served hot and meat was tender. The restaurant itself was nice, clean and the service was extremely fast. I will definitely be back to try some of my other favorites from Vietnam. read more

Food was pretty good, there were two flies flying around windows and the employees didn't seem to care. We were sitting next to a window and had to move because those flies were bugging us so much. Pho: 5/5 good broth, big portion Ban xeo: 3.5/5 not bad but I've had better. Pork rice plate: 4/5 I thought it was pretty good but my bf didn't enjoy it as much read more

I came in one day and the restaurant was a mess. I waited about 3 minutes to be seated, which wasn't too bad, but while waiting, a couple came in after me and got seated right away. Once I was finally seated, the server immediately took the other couple's order, and after they were done, I still waited about 5 minutes without anyone checking on me. At that point, I decided to leave since it was clear they were understaffed. Later, I decided to call in a pho order instead, thinking that would be easier. But when I picked it up, the portion was very disappointing hardly any noodles for $15, definitely not worth the price. If you're craving pho, I recommend going to Pho of the Desert in Indio instead. read more

Food is okay, I taste the MSG and service is slow and disorganized. I recommend calling in and placing an order for pick up. Skip dining in during a festival. Recommend calling and ordering take out and double checking the order before leaving the restaurant. Visited during Coachella during lunch rush and found that there was 0 communication between ordering staff, kitchen and checkout. We placed a relatively easy order in my opinion, 4 #11's (combo pho) and an order of spring rolls. Waited 30minutes, wondering what happened because the other tables seated after us already got their food while we sat with a plate of herbs and water. We didn't want to pester the already busy staff but had to because we were so hungry. I asked about the food and it came promptly. Hoping that they would give us our spring rolls but nothing even after finishing the pho. Had to ask and was given promptly. I understand that I may have added to their confusion/disorganization when we added a nine item take out order while waiting for done in order. Upon walking to pay the check, the cashier said they never placed our take out order with the kitchen so we had to wait another 40 minutes. We thought it would be a quick pho trip that ending up taking 2 hours. read more

Pho Vu - #11 - Vietnamese Near Me - La Quinta, California

Soda machine not working. Solution? Charge 3.50 for each 12 ounce can. There's no justifying that mark up. Then there's the food. Gristly chicken vermicelli bowl wasn't worth half its 14.95 price. I've had some really outstanding Viet Namese food, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this place. read more

This food was very yummy. Big portions too. Service was friendly. They were also very quick with our order. We will definitely be going again. We picked up the order so we did not stay. But from what we saw the inside was nice. read more

We stopped by for a Pho Tai Nam to go. The staff were super friendly. I wanted to order a large size, but they only have one size for that dish. The staff suggested for me to get extra noodles instead. This worked out perfectly. The order was ready very quickly. The soup was hot enough to cook the Tai (we ate outdoor in the plaza). read more

Pho Vu was on my list of pho places to visit while I was in La Quinta / Indio area, and I finally got the chance to check it out! When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty busy but seemed to be calming down from a lunch rush. The old-school decor and distinct pho aroma was in the air, which was nice when you're in the desert. We ordered the beef pho and the meatball pho, fresh spring rolls, and a thai iced tea with boba. Everything came out instantly, except for the thai iced tea, which they forgot about. The pho broth tasted good - my fiance called it "dirty" but I actually thought mine was "clean" so I don't know anymore lol. The meat in the spring rolls was a bit dry, but it didn't stop us from eating all of it. Overall, they were very generous with their portions and it was decent food. We live in Los Angeles, close to San Gabriel, Alhambra, and Garden Grove areas which have amazing Vietnamese food, and this restaurant was OK compared to those. However, I do consider Pho Vu one of the best in Indio/La Quinta, and I will likely come back due to their lighting fast service and satisfying bowl of pho. read more

Delicious food and great service. Food comes out quick! Loved the brisket pho and shrimp spring rolls.
