    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.

    #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!!!

    Pho :)

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

    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.

    #42--BBQ Chicken Vermicelli Bowl

    This is the type of Vietnamese food you might expect to find in a retirement home--bland and boring. The fresh spring rolls had NO herbs in them, which is where the flavor comes from. Also, they lacked the traditional rice noodles. Nothing but iceberg lettuce. The peanut sauce was the only thing that provided flavor. The BBQ Chicken Vermicelli Bowl also was totally devoid of herbs, such as thai basil and mint. The sauce (nuoc cham) is supposed to contain fresh lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and chiles. This version perhaps had some fish sauce, but no fresh lime juice or fresh chiles. Again, very bland. The pickled carrots and daikon were limp and dull. The broth in my husband's pho was fine but, again, the only herb offered were a few sad sprigs of cilantro. Thai basil is an absolute must! My daughter-in-law's spicy chicken wasn't. It would be so easy to make this food flavorful, it's a shame they don't. The prices are quite reasonable, but you get what you pay for. The restaurant was amazingly busy given the quality, and we waited quite a while for service and for our food. All in all a disappointing experience.

    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!

    This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend living in Palm Springs. The staff was very friendly and our waiter was very helpful. We ordered some chicken wings, crispy egg rolls and and bbq pork, shrimp and egg roll vermicelli noodles. Everything was on point and the wings and rolls were hot and crispy. It was quite authentic to me!

The last time I came here we only grabbed their smoothie boba drink. My daughter loves the avocado one and the strawberry one. We got both. The server insisted both were made with REAL fruit. We got the strawberry drink back and it was an orange hue. I told her it was not strawberry and she insisted it was. I took a sip and it tasted STRONGLY of orange. I told her lady who made it if she did not believe me she should take a sip. She then finally showed me the puree can she was using. She said she had run out of the strawberry and that she used just a tiny bit of another puree tub. It was kumquat ( orange ) and the puree was not real fruit. I requested she make another drink and if she didn't have strawberry to make another avocado. She kept indicating it was such a small amount of the kumquat it should not change the taste and I needed to just drink it. I insisted that is not what I ordered. She kept saying she didn't have strawberry puree. I had the front desk lady confirm I was getting the drink I wanted as the other lady was dismissive. I got another strawberry drink. Looks like she had more puree ( not real fruit) and she just didn't want to open it. Sadly I don't think I will eat here again. And I think a health inspector should visit this place.

    As a new yorker, Chinese food is a staple. I've lived a lot of places since I've lived in New York…read moreand I have not been able to find comparable Chinese food. I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find!

    This is one of my favorites in the desert... sort of hole in the wall Chinese place, as it is…read moretucked away, sort of, off a vety traffic heavy little corner of Washington and country club. I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!
