    We get Pho to go about 3-4x a month. Always perfect. We were in South Tampa not too long ago and got Pho from another place. It was good but not as good.

    Stopped by here today on a Sunday afternoon. The Yelp reviews were decent and it's close to our house so we decided to try it. We started with fresh rolls and crab rangoon. Both were delivered quickly and were fresh. For taste I would give them a 4 . I like more basil in my fresh rolls and real crab in the crab Rangoon. For the main course we both got vermicelli noodle dishes. I had grilled beef. The meal was reasonably good and the service was My only complaint was that it was just ok . There are several places around here that are much better for flavor and price. I may return in a pinch but I will go elsewhere for great flavor.

    This has been the best pho place in Florida that I've been to so far. Florida's water has a muggy aftertaste and often times the tap water AND pho broth has that smell. But here the pho tasted delicious and aromatic. It's very quick to come out. The ambiance inside the restaurant is cute especially in the evening it gives a romantic vibe. There isn't much on the table but you can ask for chili sauce and other add ons and the workers are very sweet and bring it to you with no problem. The only thing that I didn't really like was the meat had a little bit of a smell/after taste to it. But the broth was the star of the dish. Overall it was a pleasant experience and will most likely be coming back.

    Spring rolls (soft)

    We came here for lunch and were immediately greeted and seated at a booth. We got the spring rolls (soft) and the crab Rangoon to start our meal. Both were very tasty. I wish there had been a little more basil in the spring rolls. I then got the sautéed beef and onion vermicelli bowl. It was tasty and there was a good amount of beef in it. There is nothing I can point to that was bad about the meal, I have just had slightly better versions at other restaurants. The staff was very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled and we were happy with the meal.

    Doesn't seem like a lot of meat for $15. Hope I get full off of this I'm starving

    Always a good pick to grab something yummy and healthy. Hubby's likes the grilled porkchop meal and I love a yummy bowl of pho special. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the service is always nice

    Vegetable Pho

    The Basics: Simply Pho is located in Carrollwood off of Dale Mabry. The food tastes fresh and the service was good. The restaurant is nice inside and there is plenty of room, so a wait is unlikely. Things I like: I enjoyed everything I ordered. The Vegetable Pho (I got it with beef broth) was very good and I particularly enjoyed the Vegetarian Spring Rolls. Things I didn't like: I enjoyed all items I had, but I do believe the Pho at Saigon Bay in Temple Terrace is more flavorful and I prefer it. Overall, a good spot for Vietnamese food in the Carrollwood area.

    Fresh and tasty food, friendly staff. Clean and cozy. Good price. we will definitely come back Thanks guys

    XL pho bowl, at least a half gallon of broth I shared with my wife, very reasonably priced ($18.99 if I recall correctly)
    Michael L.

    Stellar, will be back for sure! Wife and I shared the XL pho bowl which was perfect and large enough to share Thai tea on delightful and only $4 which is cheaper than other places around town Service was excellent and location had great vibes. Not sure what else you can ask for

    I've worked in Elmhurst Queens New York for over 40 years. Many don't know that Elmhurst is one of New York's three chinatowns. That being the original in Manhattan and the other in Flushing. I'm mentioning that to give my bona fides as an asian food connoisseur. I've eaten vietnamese food over a hundred times. I at at Simply Pho the other night and I have to say that the food was some of the best I've ever had. I noticed that they had duck soup. Don't always see this in a vietnamese restaurant so I tried it. Spot on. Tender and tasty duck. The broth and noodles hit the mark. We started with fried dumplings and spring rolls. Solid My friend had a chicken lo mein type of dish. I did not try it, but it looked good. We also had fried rice, just because. Very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant and decor was warm and charming. I will be back next time I am in town.

    Pho Special XL and regular choose 3 meats.

    Having moved down from the DMV and tasting many delicious authentic pho, it's been hard to find that flavor down here until this place. Great service, authentic flavors, and one of the best pho I've ever had.

    This is my go to spot for pho in the Carrollwood area! The warm pho will lift up your soul! The egg rolls here are one of our favorite too. It is not too greasy like others we have tried, it's crunchy, and the inside is filled with deliciousness. We tried the house salad for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised of how perfect it was! It is slightly spicy, but great nonetheless. The service is great, all the servers are kind and the ambiance is perfect because it is a family environment so you will see all the locals! Our family favorite!

    I've been to several Simply Pho's around the country and have enjoyed them all. This location however, is not my favorite. I love pho and having the right ingredients is a major part to the unique flavor that the Vietnamese noodle soup offers. Chili oil and fish sauce play a vital role in completing a desired taste I have learned to love. Cleanliness of the broth is also huge, without good broth it's hard to enjoy and really taste the authenticity of the soup. I found while eating the pho here the broth seemed to get cloudy and thick. Which to say it wasn't bad I still enjoyed it although just not as much as other places. Their fried egg rolls were really good and the service was fantastic. I would still recommend eating here because the noodles and the portions were on point. Most of all the service is what stood out.

    ?What are the best non-meat dishes? Seafood is also okay.

    For appetisers their regular spring roll has shrimp if your ok with that, I haven't tried the vegetarian one but seems almost identical w/o shrimp. While I always get the beef, I have friends who love the Vegetable Pho.

    Does anyone know if Simply Pho has Gluten Free options? If so, what items specifically can be made Gluten Free?

    Yes.. the pho is gluten free and several dishes made with rice or rice noodle. Double check the sauces. Anything marinaded or cooked in Kikkoman soy sauce will have wheat.

From the sauces on the table to the attentive waiters this is the spot. I've done solo dates, group events after sports and birthday celebrations here and everybody enjoyed their meals. Also the bar seating is clutch for solo outings. I don't have to worry about occupying a 4 top and you can chop it up with the staff behind the bar. Heck yeah. Once I was blocked in by the owner/manager in the car lot (I may have parked in the staff parking becuase it was so busy) and when I told the staff a man came out in full 3 piece suit and we laughed our way to the car and he told me he thought I was apart of the kitchen crew so why not park behind me. A great vibe accompanied by great food. I love this place. I can't wait to come back and try more and more dishes and up those 4 stars to 5!

They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed.

The wife enjoyed a small roast quail for $5 and a serving of 5 garnished clams in the shells for $10. She did not like the $15 garnished bowl of beef slices/pig elbow/cheap canned luncheon meat/and pig blood noodle soup as she says it lacked flavor and she was not thrilled with the cook wiping down the countertop and handling her food with the same gloved hands. I only had a skewer of 4 large chunks of grilled pork belly at $7 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll come back just for the pork belly. The vendors all were very polite and patient as we had many questions about prices and portion sizes. There was a DJ kicking out several nice tunes with his mixer. Nice job whoever you are! You do need to be vigilant when it comes to product prices. For example, a vendor was selling grilled wieners on a skewer for $7 each without bun, or typical condiments. I instead opted for a huge Sam's club polish dog in a bun with large 30 oz. drink with napkins and all the condiments I needed, and I topped it off with a rotisserie chicken, all, for a total of $6.81. There are some vendors with already cooked food for sale before opening. Parking gets challenging after opening so I would recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before opening for a better chance for a parking space. Overall, I had a nice time at Saigon Summer Nights this winter with its fun lively atmosphere and tasty food, for the most part. We will be back for sure!
