PhoBar is decent. This is a cash only restaurant and tip will be included in your bill. Don't worry, they have a ATM inside. I visited on a rainy day and it helped warm up my insides. The service is alright. The Pho I ordered was okay. read more

We had a takeout order of a vegetarian banh mi and vegetarian vermicelli. The banh mi had basically the same filling as the toppings on the noodles, which was alright in flavor and had a nice chew to it, but I found the bread to be a bit stale and almost dense. I found the vermicelli needed a bit more of the sauce than was provided, but was otherwise fine. Unfortunately, there was an insect trapped underneath the lid of the container that we discovered later. Not worth a repeat visit. read more

I went to Phobar with my family post-Nets game. It's a short walk away from the Barclays Center so it's a solid option for food before or after an event. My cousin made a reservation beforehand so we were seated very quickly. The place is on the smaller side but there are a decent amount of seats. The waitress was pretty quick to take our order and I also noticed she was tending the bar too. I went with the Classic Banh Mi and a hot Vietnamese coffee. Both items were fantastic and I think the Banh Mi was pretty good value. It was less than $9 and it was a really good banh mi. The bread was crunchy without being overly dry. It had all the classic fillings including a generous helping of pate. I tried my girlfriend's pork chop and it was good, nothing amazing. My other companions seemed to enjoy their dishes. I'd come back next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

So I had been hearing the buzz about this pho spot for some time and wanted to try it for while. So happy I chose today to try them out. A nicely lit environment , exposed brick wall bright lights , easy going light hearted music and chill. Diverse crowd and nice vibes. I was seated and my order was taken by one of the owners and she was so sweet. Even helped me choose what to try as it was my first time trying pho! Food4/5: Mama Q Wonton Pho was very fresh and tasty where I could taste the ginger in the broth and other ingredients incorporated. Appetizers: Fried Calamari 10/10 so delish! Drink : Mango Jasmine ice tea fresh and not too sweet but sweet enough. May need to stir it up a bit because the sweetness settles at the bottom. Service : 5/5 I was seated in a timely manner , got a text with my number & that I was on waitlist. The owners took my order , was pleasant and smiles a lot made me feel happy to be here. Ambiance : 3/5 Nice , simple nothing to over the top. Cute vibe. read more

Just remember these three words. Short. Rib. Pho. I give Phobar a warm welcome to Brooklyn as the pho here definitely warms my soul on a cold and rainy day. The short rib pho was excellent, served with bone and all. The rib meat was so soooo tender that i didn't need a knife to cut into it at all. It just melted away in the delicate pho broth and complemented the noodles perfectly. Also, I loved the complemented Vietnamese ice coffee made with coconut milk, which was a nice touch. Overall, the pho here was very solid for the area, and I will be returning if I need my pho fix and to try some of the other dishes. read more

Literally amazed!!! I ordered DoorDash from here for a weekday lunch. I tried the lemongrass chicken pho and had to get a Vietnamese iced coffee. Oh my god was I surprised. I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out to me one of the best meals I've had in NYC. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the broth is amazing. They even provided a pho spoon for takeout orders, which there is no better way of enjoying your meal! The iced coffee was also top 3 for me. It was strong but sweet and not overpowering. Did I want to order this again the next day? Yes. I wish they opened a little earlier so I can walk and grab a coffee before I type my life away but for now we wait until 11. read more

We came here for brunch on a rainy Sunday. We felt that a warm, savory broth of pho was weather-appropriate. We fell in love right away with the restaurant concept. Although there are regular tables, we opted to dine at the pho bar for the experience. We went straight down to business. My partner ordered classic beef pho, and I had the grilled pork chop pho with rice noodles served with cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, daikon, and Vietnamese chili sauce, topped with scallions and fried shallots. It was so hearty, well-portioned, and freshly prepared, perfect for rainy weather. With the good vibe, great price point, and friendly and attentive staff, this place is a must! read more

My second time here, and every bite was as delicious as my first time. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Thai milk tea for drinks. These drinks had the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. Spring rolls were crispy and bursting with flavor. We also had oxtail pho and short rib vermicelli. The oxtail was very soft and pho was great. Short ribs still fell off the bone, but definitely felt much lighter than having the pho version. Service was great as always. Staff was very attentive. Please note this is a cash only establishment, but prices were very reasonable. read more

Very cute interior with different seating options available. If you're lucky you can get one of the booths. Otherwise there's counter seating that surrounds the bar in the middle of the restaurant or one of larger communal tables. Each seating area has chopsticks, poison sauce, and sriracha there. Service is on point; not coming by too much but often enough you're taken care of. My boyfriend and I were super hungry that day, and we had the bok choy and fried spring rolls as apps. They both tasted great. (Although I may have felt a bit guilty paying $8 for that small portion of bok choy... no regrets!) I ordered the spicy short rib pho. The short rib really falls off the bone and is delicious meat. There were also sooo many noodles in my soup! My boyfriend got the combo - classic beef pho and classic pork banh mi. Both were good and a great deal of $16 when you're feeling indecisive, although it wasn't amazing beef pho nor amazing banh mi. Still great meal though, and I'd go back! read more

Phobar seems to be a pretty popular local spot, and I can see why. They are a cash only establishment, but if you did happen to forget to bring any, they do have an ATM (not sure how much the fee is). For my drink, I got the passion fruit soda which was very tasty. My meal was the crispy catfish banh mi. Perfectly hit the spot. I did ask for mine to be spicy and it sure was - I'll probably ask for something milder next time, haha. Wish they gave a few more shrimp chips though, those are always so yummy. Really cute restaurant (their Halloween décor right now is amazing). Totally worth the visit! read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I been here a countless amount of times since October '24. The truth is in the broth okay?! I'll be back with another review because I'll be back at pho bar lol Let me tell you, the best soup for hangover, sickness, or when your stomach just needs a hug. They have great drink options, my favorite is the passion fruit soda. It's been a bit busy for the past few months but spoke with a worker the other day and you have to come at less busy times. We were seated around 4, IMMEDIATELY. Lunch had just finished and it was empty. Plus we finally got our booth seat lol. It gets so busy that you could wait for a few hours, we never had to, maybe 45 min with 2 ppl but if you request a booth, expect longer wait times. I enjoyed being here during the slow time, it was more relaxed and the workers seem more chill too. We'll be back, no matter the weather! read more

Sat at the bar with her friends on a cold Tuesday evening. It was still pretty busy which I was impressed with. As everyone is well aware this is cash only. We tried the chili wonton special appetizer and then we each did the half pho half bahn mi (both beef) classic. It was nice to sample both, the pho was good, as expected, nothing spectacular but solid. Bahn mi had good flavor read more

I usually prefer ramen to pho, but this place could change my mind. The Spicy Short Rib Pho was PHOnomenal! 10/10 I loved the flavor of the broth, and the meat fell right off that bone. The noodles were so good I wanted another serving. The spring rolls were fine. It's first come seating so make sure to get there earlier than your appetite and bring cash. read more

Order: - Beef Pho (3/5) - Combo Chicken Pho and Chicken Bahn Mi (4/5) Pho: - Fun restaurant aesthetic - Nice and quick service Cons: - We came for the beef rib pho, which they did not have. Then we tried ordering a brisket fries and they didn't have that either. Either we came on a bad day, or there menu is pretty limited - Pho was oil and the beef was a weird gray color - While they provide lime and jalapeño on the side, they didn't give bean sprouts Overall: I was pretty disappointed they didn't have the one dish I came to try (and seemingly a pretty popular item they have been trending for). I was hoping that my meal would be good enough for me to warrant another visit in hopes to try the beef rib pho, but the meal was pretty mediocre. read more

I had a great time, the food was really good until I had food poisoning a few hours later... I would've given a great review except I got food poisoning wrecked. I didn't eat anything else before lunch on Saturday so I was surprised to find their food was to blame. Stomach hurt a lot I ordered shrimp summer roll and classic pho. Perhaps the quality of prepped items are not so fresh as if the summer rolls are prepped in advance multiple days ahead of time. Kinda traumatized now. I really liked this place, service was quick and ambiance perfect. Unfortunately my stomach did not like this place. read more

Cash-only spot for pho in Park Slope! They've been circulating on social media for their combo banh mi and pho, which is nice for people who really enjoy both. I ended up just getting the full size pho brisket, which was great, especially as the days have been getting colder. The broth is very flavorful and the portion sizes are large! It comes with bean sprouts, thai basil, lime, and jalapeños. We also got the sautéed veggies and got the broccoli which was cooked well, but maybe a bit too saucy / salty. The restaurant ambience was nice but it was freezing inside as people waiting in line held the entrance open. Diners around us, including ourselves, kept our winter jackets on inside the restaurant. It wasn't until getting the pho that we warmed up and could remove our coat. Unfortunately, I felt pretty rushed while ordering and eating. Our server also forgot to give us utensils initially after bringing out the food, and we had to wait to catch her again before we could dig in. While the pho is yummy, I feel like there are some aspects of the service and ambience that could use some more work. read more

Short rib on bone pho is bomb! I like their egg rolls too. Solid Vietnamese place but expect to pay a bit more for good meat cuts and prime prospect location.

The vibe of the space is really cool, though I rarely dine in and mostly come here for takeout, because they're the cheapest banh mi option in this neighborhood, and I love that they come with shrimp chips. Unfortunately, I'm not crazy about their banh mis, as the sauce the carrots are soaked in are kind of sour and overpower everything else. Phobar started off accepting cards but became cash only, following in 5ive spice's footsteps. read more

The spicy short rib pho was extremely good -- 10/10. The Brussels sprouts and passion fruit lemonade were also excellent.

3.8 stars. My 1st time having pho. I tried the short rib pho. It was a decent sized restaurant and seems to get packed. I would visit here again. The wait staff was friendly and the pho was good, not as savory as I had hoped and the sauces helped bring the flavor together for me to fully enjoy it. I did like it but stand alone, to me it was cool. I would return and try it again or get something else. My friend tried the spring rolls and loved them. read more

PhoBar was nice and airy. Decided to check it out. I got the bun vermicelli bowl with the pork hop, shrimp, and spring roll. Overall, the components were great but I felt like the nuoc Cham dressing was lacking. I've had much better elsewhere. Portion size was alright. Pretty normal. Also tried their iced coffee. Pretty lacking imo. Waaay too sweet and coffee flavor wasn't as strong as I'd hoped for Vietnamese coffee. Cash only, but they have an atm machine on site. read more

I work in this area and I was looking for a restaurant that delivers good customer service and great food. I ordered Shrimp Pho with extra bean sprouts online. The food arrived without the Hoisin sauce. I'm deeply disappointed, because if I was in the restaurant I wouldn't specifically have to ask for the Hoisin sauce, why would I expect differently online? I believed it was included with the entree. I called the restaurant after I received the delivery and expressed my disappointment. They explained that the Hoisin sauce is not included in online orders, if you don't ask for it. The customer service and concern was minimal at best. They offered an apology but, absolutely nothing for my inconvenience. The food was bland, not what I expected at all. This is my first time ordering from them and definitely my last. That's a no for me. read more

I'm actually quite surprised with how tasty all of this was. I came in here knowing that I wanted to try the pho but I saw that they had a lunch special so I opted to try that out as well. What I ordered: Saigon Pho ($15.95): I wanted to try a little bit of each meat so this was the preferred choice for me. The soup was a bit sweet but it had the nice beef broth that I would expect with what a bowl of pho. I did order this to go and the soup was very hot in its plastic container but it was nice because when you poured it out, it was still steaming hot. The only thing I wish they had was a side of hoisin sauce or sriracha along with the to go order. Lunch special with popcorn chicken (honey sesame), vermicelli, 2 pork and shrimp spring rolls, and a soda ($10.95). This dish was pretty good because the chicken was crispy and sweet while the side salad gave it a nice crisp with fresh lettuce. The fish sauce was also very tasty. Total came to be about $30 with tax included. Not a bad place to give it a try. They did mess up on my drink though.. I ordered a coke and they gave me a ginger ale but either way, both drinks are good. read more

Soup was good but somehow missing a little bit of something. The pork chop was a bit too sweet, but the coffee was nice and strong. One bathroom and its hella spacious and good. Vegetable spring roll was hot and crunchy, with a flavorful filling.

This was my first time trying Pho and I decided to come here because of all the TikTok hype, I was worried it would be a long wait but I was seated right away. It's a small restaurant but the aesthetic is really cute and the service was great! All of my food came out really fast, and all of the staff were attentive. I got the Bao buns with fried shrimp 10/10, but unfortunately the Pho fell flat for me. I got the short rib and oxtail Pho, the portions are huge! But the flavor or lack there of just wasn't it, I was expecting a savory broth like ramen but it tasted like they just boiled the meat in water. I added the sauces they put on the table and that helped but it still wasn't good enough that I would come here again. I ended up packing most of my Pho to go so I could take it home and season it myself lol The meat was too tender to go to waste read more

Pho Bar was good overall. The beef pho had a decent broth, but it could have used a bit more flavor. The banh mi was definitely good, though it also needed a little more sauce. Service was mixed. There were only two waitresses when I went--one seemed very serious and not very friendly, while the other was really happy and nice, which helped balance the experience. Overall, I'd rate Pho Bar a 7/10. read more

Stopped by because the lunch special caught my eye. I ordered it and a spicy Brisket Pho and a kid sized Brisket pho for my son. The restaurant wasn't packed but there were other people so it was lively. Food came quickly. The lunch special gives a few choices . I picked the spicy Brisket, rice and shrimp with pork spring rolls. It comes with some fresh veggies and a drink of choice, I opted for bottled water. My Pho also had beef balls and ham in addition to Brisket. The broth was good but not as flavorful as I like. I felt the broth itself lacked depth. The prominent flavors were missing. Still enjoyable . The beef balls- I didn't care for the texture, neither the ham. Everything else was good. My son devoured his pho and all the meat that I didn't want. Overall nothing went to waste so no loss. I get the feeling that the flavors were muted down to cater to the surrounding area clientele. Anyway the special was a good value and I like the spring rolls a lot. The decor here is so pretty and the place is casual. Cute for a date or meals with friends . There's table seating and a bar counter set up where you can eat if you want to sit on stools. There's 1 bathroom for everyone ,single stall. Outside there are a few benches ,if you like to have drinks. I did see small folded tables tucked on the side of the benches I assume you can put those out if needed ( sidewalk). The staff is very sweet. The host let me know the Pho I order had ham and asked if I was okay with that. I had also asked if the spicy broth was really (hot)spicy because that's what I was craving and she honestly told me it wasn't really that hot. She checked on us and we felt attended to in a friendly way. I want to give the sandwiches and wings here try so I'll return. The ambiance is cool and the kind of place I ike to sit in for solo dining as well. Cash only but there is an ATM inside ( a non- sketchy looking one) - fee is $2.75. Restaurant is ramp accessible. Subway stop - 3 train to Bergen then a 2 mins walk . read more

Great place to get some yummy pho in Brooklyn. Came to visit for work from Cali and enjoyed the ambiance

So I decided to come here and let me tell you 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend! When you arrive, you have to sign in. There's no reservations. You could either sit at the table or at the high top, we did the shrimp boa bun and I got the short rib spicy pho! Well, everyone around us was finishing their food. I was like so full, but I enjoyed the rest of the next day. The place was a bit busy, great couples, friends, or even solo. read more

Wouldn't recommend, probably not coming back. At first, the restaurant looks hip and it has such a modern vibe, but otherwise mostly everything else fell flat. Growing up near San Jose, I have a high bar for Vietnamese food, so when I ordered Saigon Pho here, it was really disappointing. The broth had no flavor. Noodles were fine in texture, but the beef was mediocre. I'm reading through some of the reviews and I'm surprised by the comments that this is an "authentic pho experience." Something tells me they haven't had a lot of exposure to eating real Vietnamese food. The one saving grace in the food experience was the calamari. This should've been the first sign on the authenticity of this restaurant. I don't know a lot of Vietnamese places that have this on the menu. You're probably thinking "why did you order it then?" The table next to us ordered it and the smell lured us in. I'll give this shop credit where it's due. The calamari was well seasoned and soft on the chew. The service is what crystallized the one-star review. No one checked in with us after they served our meal. I'm not sure if we did something or said anything, but they went around checking in with other tables around us, even offering more bean sprouts to the table next to us. They didn't really care to say anything or asked if we needed more water. When my girlfriend went up to the bathroom, one of the servers started clearing up her side of the table and taking her cup of water. We were waiting for 10-20 minutes for the check before they finally gave us the check (we had to ask). To be fair, the server realized and apologized, but it made me think about how attentive they were to the table next to us. It's rude if I'm being honest. read more
