Probably 3.5 stars. It's decent food with affordable pricing. Service when we went was a little neglectful for whatever reason. In the Walmart shopping center, so you can have some pho, then go to the 'Mart and fill your cart with unnecessary plastic objects. Anyway. We got the (34) beef and egg roll noodle salad; (52) garlic noodle with grilled shrimp; and (53) garlic noodle with shaken beef. We started with the spring rolls. The spring rolls were a highlight. Very fresh. Very good. Peanut sauce was on point. (52) met with daughter's ringing endorsement. (53) and (34) were ok. So, the service started out fine. Seated right away, drink orders taken, food orders taken. But, there was a long empty void at one point as we finished up our meals and waited to ask for our check. Not a deal breaker, but not sure what happened. Was not busy. We'd come back. They have a varied menu, so lots of things to try. read more

Pholuscious is my new favorite pho restaurant. Super friendly staff, comfortable seating and decor. The food is excellent..deserves more than 5 stars. My daughter loves the garlic noodles with chicken and i get the vegetable pho..the broth is Amazing and the vegetables are super fresh. I love it when carrots actually taste like carrots and the carrots they use are extremely flavorful. Can't say enough good things about the food and friendly staff.. read more

I ordered the Ribeye and Fries, totally forgetting that the meat here is sliced rather than cubed. I've had it before, and if I'd remembered, I probably would've chosen something else this time. The marinade is pretty good, but the slices are so thin it's hard to tell it's ribeye--you miss out on that rich, fatty flavor and texture. On the plus side, they made the fries extra crispy just like I asked, so they didn't get soggy right away, which I really appreciated. I might try the filet mignon next time instead. read more

First time here, food was Ahmazing, It's a little loud , I feel it's difficult to have a conversation when the restaurant is filled. The service was good, they greeted us and answered any questions. The shaken beef is excellent. Flavor is very good. I find it very interesting that they mix French fries with noodles. Not my liking, but it must be popular since it's in the menu. I would recommend , the prices are reasonable, place is well kept, it's just noisy to carry on a conversation. ( the acoustics aren't great) read more

Went back today, The pho was delicious, the broth was tasty & still warm when finished the meal. The service guy so nice to help to get the order. Since we tried the phone in this location, we less to visit the 79 pho than usual as before. This restaurant easy parking more than the 79 pho . read more

I wouldn't call this area of town a mecca of Vietnamese cuisine, but it is easy to consider with the incredible number of South Asian dining destinations within such a small area. That said, Pholuscious is very appropriately placed to accommodate those seeking a Vietnamese inspired meal . . . and one filled with an abundance in relation to portions with an emphasis on great quality and taste. One look at the Yelp page and you will be overwhelmed with many options in the types of offerings and all rooted in the traditional menu options that you would find in most all Vietnamese dining destinations. On this occasion, I was joined by a friend who is a relative expert in this type of cuisine. We each ordered the Beef Rib Pho and shared a plate of Spring Rolls and House Special Wings. I'll start with the Pho. This entrée was served in a hot clay pot and was filled with the traditional ingredients and large rib bones as the pictures show. A side plate of bean sprouts, jalapenos, basil and limes were included and were all very fresh with only the best selections making it on the platter. The Pho itself was presented with a very clean broth that had the traditional flavors. The broth was very good and really came together with the additions of the plate of vegetables and a few drops o Sriracha and Oyster sauce. The time for the beef ribs to join in the broth party made a huge impact on enriching the flavor of the broth. This is an excellent meal with very good flavor. The lunch was started with the Spring Rolls that were filled in traditional form and we chose the pork option. The portions were very substantial and the dipping sauce was very good with a rich body and flavor to accentuate those rolls. Excellent as well. The third item on the table included the House Special Wings. This, too, was very well prepared and plentiful. Of the dishes we tried, this was not for me. It was on the sweet side of things and while crispy and well prepared, my preference would be one of the other options. Our server suggested the garlic butter wings which I will order on my next visit. Overall, Pholuscious was a great find for me and an excellent location for those looking for a high quality Vietnamese dining destination. Our server, Krystal, was very good and was accommodating with questions and any other assistance we needed. One thing that I encourage you to do is to please read the description of the items you order thoroughly. The title of each item and the pictures cannot be your guide. You will learn of the ingredients or be prompted to ask follow-up questions by reading the descriptions. Your server will fill in the details to your questions to ensure you order the right item. Pholuscious had great quality and tasty cuisine and a spot that I recommend! Bon Appetite! read more

The pho here is absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles every time. I love the fried egg rolls as well. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and authentic. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.

We had a good experience here! Staff were welcoming and very kind. I never felt like we were in need of anything. The restaurant is a good space, CLEAN, and nicely decorated. Restroom is clean (women's at least)! I ordered the ox tail pho, teen ordered the brisket pho, Hubs ordered the rare brisket beef. I also ordered the Thai tea. We got the garlic butter chicken wings too. A huge super plus is that kids eat free so my toddler had a kid sized pho and loved every bit. She finished two bowls! Food was flavorful! The presentation was beautiful! The pho and the wings! The only improvement I'd suggest is add more noodles. I felt like I ate very little and my noodles were gone. I just noticed that the receipt says if you pay in cash, you get 5% off. We paid in cash (not knowing about that "perk"), but staff did not take that 5% off. Be sure to catch that if you visit and pay cash! read more

Pholuscious is another one of those pho joints that are as solid as they come. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a modern and very spacious setup with about 10-12 tables for seating. Wifey and I pulled up for a late night meal around 10pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have a solid selection of different appetizers, pho, vermicelli, and rice dishes to choose from. We opted to try the Beef Spring Rolls and the Pho Combination Bowl. Everything that we had was delicious and comforting to the soul! Overall, this spot definitely satisfies the pho cravings. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive. They are also open late night until midnight for those big backtivities, which is a huge plus in my book. Pholuscious is Viet gang approved! read more

Had this delivered so can't speak on location or service - I loved their to-go container for pho, double stacked and the broth was so good I didn't add any other sauce. I just needed to heat the noodles and meat since it was cold and didn't want to chill my broth. I got a green Thai tea, which I never had before, and I loved their aromatic milk they added. Cute to go cup too. Really tasty. read more

I'll be honest...I walked in with pretty low expectations since they're open until midnight. Usually that can be hit or miss. The space itself looked newer, bigger, and super clean... but let's be real, that's not what makes or breaks a good bowl of pho. When we ordered, the pho took a little longer than expected to come out, and I was really hoping the wait would be worth it. And wow- first sip, I was immediately impressed. The broth was rich and deeply flavorful, the meat was perfectly tender, and they absolutely did not miss on the herbs. A lot of places only offer Thai basil, but they also had culantro and rice paddy herb, which made such a difference. Bonus points: the pho came out piping hot, exactly how it should be. Safe to say, I think we just found our new favorite pho spot. I'd honestly choose this place over Pho Lover and Phoholic any day. read more

Bill, thank you for the amazing service. The whole family enjoyed our pho Highly recommend this restaurant. Good quality, and the ambiance is so inviting read more

After going to pho labs and seeing this place nearby I finally decided to give this place a try. We ordered a Rare beef and tendon Pho, Rib bone Pho, and Lomo saltado. First the rare beef and tendon pho was pretty good. It's kept hot in the stone pot, though I don't really think it makes a difference since when eating pho in a regular bowl I don't feel like my pho ever gets cold. The tendon was super tender and good and they give a lot of toppings (bean sprouts, basil, lime etc). I like how they gave multiple lime slices and they weren't dried up. The rib bone however is not comparable to Pho Labs next door. The meat on the bone had the connecting tissue or skin on it which made it a hassle to eat. They gave scissors but that didn't really help much. The meat would have been otherwise super tender but with the other stuff attached made it not very enjoyable to eat. The lomo saltado was average. The fries come covered in sauce and are kinda wet. The potato inside doesn't really feel cooked all the way. The smaller pieces of meat were tender but the slightly bigger pieces were tough. The flavor was good though and the onion and bell peppers were done well. The service is okay. The servers were quiet and couldn't really hear what they were trying to say. The atmosphere is greater for larger parties and feels nice. Overall if i was coming here to eat pho, i rather just go next door to pho labs. The portions over there feel bigger as well. Not sure about the other foods, but was disappointed. read more

Alright, so last time I was here, I mentioned they could add a bit more food. This time, they did increase the portion size. However, the quality wasn't quite up to par. It was slightly bland with a stronger sweetness than normal. I do enjoy the service, always making sure we have water, but in the end, it might be the last time we come to this location. But it's something to try since it's open late. read more

Pholuscious has a great ambiance and clearly knows how to market itself, the place was packed when we came in. What really stood out was that it's right next to another pho restaurant that was almost empty, which says a lot about their branding, service, and overall vibe. Staff was efficient, the energy was good, and it felt like a place people genuinely want to be at. Solid experience all around. read more

If you want a great place to eat pho and want to get food late at night cause everything closes earlier, this place is the place! Coming in, is a place with an open concept. They have booths for you to sit in or tables if you have a big party. You are always greeted by people, especially Nancy. She's always there to greet you. The menu has a bunch of different items but this place is known for their pho. Pho- The broth here is so clean compared to other places. I love how it's not MSG tasting and it taste like beef. I appreciate how they have the option to make your own pho too. I like the pho rib bone and build your own! Fall off the bone lickin good! Pad Thai- for a place that has Viet food, they have Thai food too. Their Pad Thai is pretty good and the meat just soak in those flavors. Can't go wrong with this too. Overall, I really enjoy the vibes of this place. The music is enjoyable also the service too. Nancy really gets everything right and always makes the experience there so enjoyable. Did I tell you they give a coconut jello at the end too? I love it! read more

Will definitely bookmark this spot for late-nite bites! Don't forget to get the Taro Iced Coffee--pretty strong (I always open it up and mix it well before drinking!) and hubby got the iced Thai green tea!

We heard about this place and realized it was down the street from my kids' Abuela's house, so we decided to take her out for a treat... and a treat it was. As soon as we walked in, one of the owners greeted us at the entrance. Always a good sign when the owners work the floor, it means they care. After we were seated, we ordered drinks (4 peach teas and 1 mango tea) and appetizers (fried calamari, egg rolls, and grilled beef spring rolls). We were checked in on by the other owner shortly after. Husband and wife combo + family business = a recipe for quality. For entrees, we tried: * Tofu fried rice (crunchy and delicious) * A build-your-own pho bowl with triple fatty brisket (tons of meat!) * Pho ga with a side of bo vien (my 10-year-old was in heaven) * Brisket pho for Abuela (rich broth, brisket was tender) * Beef and egg roll noodle salad for me (fresh, flavorful, great balance of textures) Everything was exceptional in taste, portions, and value. The staff was attentive and even advised us on the best way to place our pho orders for cost efficiency, which I genuinely appreciated. I wish I would've gotten some pictures, but as soon as the food was placed, my family started eating. I have nothing bad to say and only great things to share about this location. The decor is warm and inviting, and it was nice seeing so many different nationalities eating here. Some more traditional pho restaurants can (at times) make a mixed family feel out of place, but not here. We'll definitely be back anytime we're in the area. Highly recommend. Worth the drive. read more

Despite being spoiled for choices regarding Pho in this area (Westminster is literally down the street), it is surprisingly more difficult to find a proper vegan pho option listed on menus. Many Vietnamese restaurants will list a "Veggie Pho" but will still use beef or chicken broth. I was with a large group, so we weren't looking for a 100% Vegetarian/vegan restaurant either. Pholuscious is speaking to its people when it has a clearly labeled "Vegan Pho" option on the menu. So my group of 13 drove here for lunch. The restaurant looks to be pretty new - it's spacious, modern, and clean. They have all the typical pho offerings, plus a few rice dishes and even a few Thai/Asian-fusion dishes. They accommodated our large group with ease. Everyone in my group enjoyed their pho, served in large piping clay bowls. I enjoyed my vegan pho - the broth is flavorful and they provided plenty of veggies & tofu. Service is attentive and friendly and prices were fair. Great lunch spot! read more

My goodness--Pholuscious just became my go-to pho spot! The broth was absolutely incredible; I actually drank the entire bowl, which I never do. Their hot stone pho is a steal at $15.99, especially with two flavorful rib bones--now that's value. I also tried the lemon pepper fried chicken, which had amazing flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. Service was top-notch--friendly, fast, and super attentive. Every bite hit the spot, and I genuinely loved every moment of the experience. If you're craving pho that warms the soul without draining your wallet, this place is a must-try! read more

Literally I live down the street and always go to the Walmart I would always pass the Pholuscious and would always want to try it. We usually go to our pho spots in Westminster but have this place a try. Upon entering the restaurant we get greeted with "hello welcome!" That's so rare for Vietnamese restaurants lol but atmosphere was clean all the waiters were young and adorable. This was my first visit couple weeks ago. Prices are reasonable and the pho here the broth is so good! We got greeted by waiter name Hoang who was very knowledgeable with the food here. My son love this place and now it's our go to!
