    Grilled pork banh mi
    Lucy Y.

    Great place for Vietnamese food. I got the grilled pork banh mi and tried the combo pho and it was very delicious. The banh mi was nicely flavored. The interior was clean and spacious. The service was fast and reliable.

    Pho special

    Solid bowl of pho. Broth is hearty and soothing perfect for festival recovery. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. I'm so glad they are here.

    #16 Chicken Pho
    Roshan R.

    I tried the Chicken Pho (#16) and Egg Rolls (#5). The pho was warm and comforting, though the chicken in it tasted reheated and slightly stale. The egg rolls were crispy and came with a decent portion of side salad. Service was quick, which was a plus. However, the floors and tables were a bit sticky, and the condiments--like the Sriracha bottle--had noticeable buildup, which was off-putting. A little more attention to cleanliness would have made the experience much better and would have been a solid 4-star visit.

    This is not exactly what I wanted to see when I'm about to eat my food, it is so gross, I wonder what else they did not wash !!! So gross!!!

    Beef and shrimp over egg noodles
    Rhondi S.

    I have to remove a few stars to tonight's meal. Both dishes with rice vermicelli (Spring rolls and chicken vermicelli bowl) had pieces of uncooked noodles, so hard I almost broke my teeth!! Shrimp spring rolls were bland, like missing all the fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, basil - was bad...uncooked rice noodles throughout the rolls I had to pick out or crack my teeth. Chicken in bahn mi and vermicelli bowl was flavorful and good, but the bowl was just missing fresh herbs. Service is fine, I feel everyone there is bored with lack of enthusiasm, no big deal. When I told the server about the uncooked vermicelli, she didn't even care and probably didn't even tell the kitchen. Another less star for all the reports of roaches, if I saw that, we wouldn't even have come here - just gross.

    Bun bo hue
    Audrey F.

    Wasn't expecting to find Vietnamese food out in the desert so I was excited to try Pho Vu, which seems quite popular. The space is large with the ability to connect tables, making it good for groups. They also have a decent selection of food such as pho, banh xeo, egg rolls, and bun bo hue. My bun bo hue was pretty good; it didn't come with all the toppings I'm used to and wasn't as sour/spicy as other spots, but it was still tasty. What I liked the most about this spot was the service. Waiters were friendly, funny, and helpful; one waiter let my friend order something off menu so that she could get the toppings she likes.

    Pho :)

    Food, service and ambiance were great!! I will definitely come back here again next Coachella festival :)

    The food was so good and well served, we finished everything. The Chicken Pho the broth was rich, and the house fried rice was amazing. The service was ok and took a bit longer to get menus and take an order but the wait was worth it and we were hungry. The Ambiance is ok, nothing fancy, great for a group dinner or family gathering. Have a free parking lot. Recommended it for a good PHO.

    Honestly, one of the best restaurants I visited while in Palm Springs! A group of friends and I visited Palm Springs for a 3 day weekend and ate at several places around town. We had several 'not so great' experiences, so as we walked in to Pho Vu, we hoped this would be the place that turned things around. And it was! Although we were a group of 7, we were still able to be sat immediately at a table. And the restaurant was pretty busy! Our servers were so quick, friendly, and efficient. They helped answer any questions and were very attentive to our needs. I was blown away at how quickly our food arrived! It was blazing fast, extremely hot & fresh, and still tasted great! My very picky friend who says it's rare to find authentic Vietnamese food anywhere even said this food was the real deal. Absolutely the best restaurant we visited in PS! A must try!

The ginger has a superb front taste and an ending that brings the heat. Ingredients are totally fresh and quality. Servings are plentiful and prices are reasonable.

It's about a 12min drive west of I-10, located in a small business park strip mall. It's absolutely worth the diversion.

Their thinly sliced and seasoned seitan was perfect, as was the accompanying sauces and toasted bread. I'd order this on repeat if I lived nearby. I was surprised by how great the potato salad was. It had the perfect mayo/mustard balance, which is extremely difficult to find. I need a gallon of this. The key lime parfait was ok. I expected more (in terms of flavor, not quantity), but it was not bad. I've just had much better so I wouldn't order it again. I'd be willing to try a different dessert next time.

The chupacabra sandwich was good, the menu said that the 'chicken' is thinly sliced, I didn't realize just how thin it is. I think I would have preferred if it were slightly thicker and less cabbage. There was so much cabbage that it overpowered the rest of the sandwich. Overall, I think this place is a gem and I'd like to try their other menu items.
