Good veggie selection. I had the veggie egg-roll vermicelli bowl. Was great with a lot of veggies. I also loved our table next to huge windows. read more

The hype is REAL, all the reviews and newspaper articles calling this the best restaurant in Cleveland. I've been moved away for almost a decade but I was able to make it here over thanksgiving break after reading all about it. Since I was only going to make it here once in my foreseeable I ordered as fat as possible. Spring Rolls: Great spring rolls that were very fresh and had a delicious sauce Pho: wayyy toooo Phocking good. Some of the best broth I've ever had, Barely needed any spice or veggies added to be delicious Bahn Mi: humongous and pretty cheap! Bubble Tea: I ordered a mixed flavor of Coconut and Taro and it was delicious, I made all my friends try it and they liked it too. I will definitely try to make this a tradition every time I'm back in the LAND read more

"Superior" is more than just the name of the street. This place is outstanding! A huge bowl of Pho packed full of flavor. It was delicious! The bowl had a ton of noodles and was cooked to perfection. I also had a side of vegetable spring rolls that were so tasty. Bottom line: this Pho is Superior to so many others I have had! read more

This was my first time eating pho. We ordered take-out due to covid. I was impressed and liked it a lot.

The pho was excellent, I had the regular one with round steak. Everything was as I wanted, fresh veggies, good cut of steak, and very flavorful broth. I would describe the broth as well rounded, the flavor profile didn't lean one way or another. Overall this is great quality pho in downtown Cleveland! read more

It has been almost 2 years since I have dined here. Not my favorite place since they charged extra tip on my boyfriends bill, but forgive and forget? I guess I forgave them because I dined here twice in one week! Both times to catch up with some friends. I had combo #8. Noodles were not bad, but the soup was somewhat bland. Maybe because it was 1 hour until closing? The second visit I decided to try their bubble tea, but disappointed again because they ran out of the lychee jelly. The Taro bubble tea was ok. Maybe I need to rekindle my relationship with Superior Pho, by actually eating a bowl of pho at my next visit...which hopefully will not be 2 years from now. read more

Superior Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I have been picking up on Saturdays for the past 2 Months, it's a lot of comfort in 2 bowls of Pho #1 of course. I have been coming on and off for the past 12 years. Delicious and authentic. read more

By far my favorite place for a quick hot meal. A large bowl of hot pho is the best thing when you're sick, when it's cold, when it's hot, when you need comfort food, etc. Superior Pho does pho well - some places will have lukewarm soup (my biggest pet peeve regarding pho), or the soup will have strange additional flavors. The broth here is steaming hot and refreshingly clean. I always get #12 (dac biet), which has a wide variety of meats. They aren't stingy with their toppings plate either, which is usually heaped with copious bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, and Thai basil. Service is what you would expect for a no-nonsense Asian restaurant: quick and to-the-point, which I appreciate. Lastly, the restaurant is located in the back lot behind Phusion Cafe. Pull into the parking lot using one of the side roads off Superior for a beeline to the restaurant. read more

This place is a nope. A big NOPE. The service was meh. Got a bubble tea, and it tasted like burnt plastic. The food was good however. When checking out I asked the waiter to take it off the ticket since I didn't drink it which you could clearly tell. He argued with me about he can't take it off because there is nothing wrong with it. I said there is something wrong with it it taste like burnt plastic. So they would not remove it from the ticket. The foods decent the prices are a little high but the service kills it all. read more

Superior Pho is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Cleveland. The food comes out quickly, the portions are more than enough and it always tastes good. I've never taken someone there and them leave disappointed. The only reason I give them 4/5 stars is because the dining experience isn't anything to call home about. It's the kind of place you go for a quick lunch and you could be in and out in less than an hour. But if you're hungry and have a craving for good Vietnamese food I definitely suggest stopping by. Also note that there are two entrances and I suggest using the back entrance because it's quicker and there is parking in the back. read more

Superior Pho - Beef vermicelli (1B) - Vietnamese Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Very delicious Pho. Broth was very bright and fresh. Perfectly balanced with the noodles and extras. I would prefer a little extra jalapeno. But will ask for more, when I go back for more. And, I will be back. The crispy pork spring rolls were spot on. And a sharp flavored, dipping sauce... read more

Let me start with the spring rolls. Definitely get the spring rolls. You only get two with some sweet and sour sauce, but they feel very fresh when you bite them - you can just hear the crunch of the vegetables and peanuts. A perfect appetizer to your pho noodles. The pho itself is delicious. I came on a hot summer day but I still felt refreshed after. The soup is very good and the noodles are cooked very well. I am a huge fan of the bean sprouts, basil, and jalapeno peppers they give you to eat with your meal. I also love that brown sauce, not sure what it is, that they give you to dip your meat in. I got a large and probably didn't have to eat the whole rest of the day. The portions are great. It was sweet that the waitress knew my uncle's family and noticed that one of the kids wasn't there! IS IT CHEAP? A large bowl of the first pho on the menu is around $8 and a smaller bowl is around $7. So YES! read more

Consistently good for Cleveland. Always busy and always pretty quick. Usually get a number 8. A nice alternative is always the vermicelli (bun). Mmmm. read more

In regards to Superior Pho, the first thing that comes to mind is Public Enemy's "Don't Believe the Hype." People rave about the food here, but to me nothing I have eaten has ever been exceptional and worthy of the title of Best Pho in town. Full Disclosure I always get the Tamarind Tofu Pho. My experience with the Pho is a little limited because I do not eat beef, but I have also tried many appetizers, other items with fish and every vegetarian item on the menu. I enjoy the Tamarind Tofu Pho and once you add Sriracha and the sauce and Basil it is pretty flavorful, but needs a little bit of doctoring for my liking. Also very simple things that you would expect at a Pho place seem off. For example, the sprouts are not neatly trimmed and often are beginning to wilt almost every time I come here. The service is usually bad where I might get my water refilled once in an hour and a half visit despite it not being busy. During my last visit I waited probably close to a half an hour without touching my food, before I walked up to the counter and asked for a to go container. My leftovers would not fit in the small container they gave me and when I asked for a larger one the waitress said I would be charged 50 cents. At any place I have ever eaten in my life I never was charged for an appropriate size box to take food home. The concept of which seems pretty ridiculous to me. So in conclusion Superior Pho is overrated. I feel like there are comparable Pho places with better service and ambiance that do not charge you for containers to take the food you paid for home. read more

If you eat other pho in the area, you'll learn why Superior Pho earns its name. The broth is fragrant and heavenly, the meat is quality, and the fixings are plentiful. $11.95 for a drink, fresh, crunchy, delicious spring roll with dipping sauce, and generous portion of pho? I don't bother going elsewhere now when I know I have it good here. read more

Always great! Quality fresh ingredients, good service, and convenient to downtown. Portions are huge, would recommend eating here.

SO GOOD! Best pho I've had in a long time! The broth and noodles are good. Plenty of seats. It's pretty popular so you have to wait for a bit but it's worth it! It's better than the other restaurants in the same building. read more

The quality is right there in the name! What more do you want!? No, I do get that it's called Superior Pho because it's on Superior Avenue (or at least I'm guessing that's the true reason) but this place really is the best pho restaurant in Cleveland. My go-to Pho bowl is the pho tai chin, which is a combination of the well-done brisket and eye-round steak. If I'm really ready to smash some food I'll go ahead and get some summer rolls and a banh mi sandwich. For the price you really can't beat the value and how much food you get. You'll walk out of the restaurant ready to take on a food coma! The table turnaround is pretty quick if by chance there happens to be a wait. The time between ordering and getting your is extremely quick as well. After years of success, I'm still fairly surprised at the lack of upgrades in the aesthetics. Maybe it will always have this "food court" type atmosphere, but newer chairs, tables, TVs, paintings/pictures and maybe ambient music wouldn't be so bad. But hey, if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it, am I right?? read more

Yaaaass! Delicious soup that made me phoget all my problems. The broth was so perfectly balanced with seasoning, I wasn't even tempted to add sriracha or any other sauce to it! I already can't wait to come back. Pho real. Phocking phonomenal! Spring rolls were bomb, too! read more

I don't even know where to start, everything about this place was amazing. The pho was delicious (according to my family) and the chicken fried rice was to die for. One of the best meals I've had in a while. The employees were so kind and met all our needs without delay. This place was absolutely amazing and I recommend to everyone. read more

Delicious food! I had chicken pho, a shrimp summer roll, and a mango bubble tea. Just incredible! It's quaint and a little bit hard to find, but worth the look. Even better than the food was the super friendly service! Great little spot to catch up with a friend. read more

I went one time. Pooped my pants for a day after. The flavors were excellent. I'd spend another day pooping my pants definalty.

This is my #2 Pho restaurant in Cleveland. The Pho is fantastic here. The multitude of meat options and sizes insures everyone can find something they like and won't leave hungry. Prices are on point with other Pho places in Cleveland but a little pricey compared to big cities. Their summer rolls are amazing, however some come with peanuts inside so be careful when you order. The Bun options are also fantastic with great portion sizes and awesome flavors. FYI - if you haven't been here before, there is a back entrance and parking lot off of Superior on Danbury Ct. Walk through the main doors and it's your first stop on the left with Minh Ahn across from it. read more

Simply the BEST Pho in Cleveland! I stop in quite often for lunch and on weekends. Well worth any wait for the steaming bowls of happiness they dish out! The broth is so flavorful and arrives quickly and piping hot with all the fixings! The summer rolls with shrimp and #1 are my go tos. And a bubble tea never hurts either! read more

Remember to take my review with a grain of salt because I mostly eat pho in Philadelphia or DC (majority of Vietnamese population on the east coast). I don't even like some NY pho restaurants. I am a little spoiled.... (maybe snobby too). Sorry! I was excited to find such a highly rated Vietnamese restaurant in Cleveland, but I was immediately very disappointed. This was severely mediocre pho and Vietnamese food. The main star of pho is the broth, and it wasn't very flavorful. I also ordered the pork and broken rice dish which was subpar. I definitely do not want to take away from how much everyone else loves it. It definitely wasn't horrible or inedible; however, I have definitely experienced better. In addition, it was pretty confusing locating the restaurant. It's not a separate building from the Korean restaurant. If you park in the back and walk in the building you set on googlemaps, you'll see the restaurant to your right. Other restaurants are in the building too. Don't get it mixed up! read more

So extremely disappointed with my experience here, and definitely not the best pho in Cleveland (keep looking!). Their menu listing of combinations is not thorough, so it is up to your server to guide you through for first timers. The menu does not state, but you can get a coffee instead and have a discount of 50 cents off its full price. Note that when ordering your summer or spring roll, that you should state the type of roll you get. It would have been nice for the server for clarify with me which roll I would like since it was my first time. This led to a bad first impression, when I found myself served with a spring roll with absolutely no meat inside. Topping this off was their pho tai, which was also not what I expected. The broth was okay, but the meat was awfully overcooked and clumped together. The meat is supposed to be RARE and really ought to be separated before serving (it's not hard to do!), else the presentation leads to poorly distributed and potentially overlooked meat. (Maybe overcooked to better suit clientele less familiar with Asian cuisine?) It's also quite expensive for a bowl of pho. Subpar service, overcooked meat, pricey pho.. I don't plan to come back. FYI, there is parking in the back if you drive off of US 6 (and you will be closer to the restaurant if you do.) read more

Now this is a tried and true Cleveland staple! I've been frequenting this place for years and after a way too long hiatus I revisited this place just in the nick of time (before it's early 8pm weekday close). I got my usual #10 combo - large pho, bahn mi and a soda. I'll be honest, a lot of the meat options are only mildly distinguishable, it all end up tasting like thin fully cooked meat, but that's fine. The simple broth and fresh veggies are the real winners. The large pho fills you up and but the subtle flavors make you go for more. The banh mi is a healthy serving of meat and pickled veggies, cilantro and sliced jalapenos. Bite into that thing and your welcomed with the contrasting crunching from the fresh cucumber and carrots and the lightly toasted bread. Again, simple but utterly delicious!! read more

Superior Pho has the best Pho in Cleveland! It is not even a competition. I used to like Pho, Superior made me love it! I now eat it about once every other week and it is always from Superior! If you are in the area, give it a shot! I guarantee you'll love it! read more

My favorite meal of mid-town/Asian town area is Superior Pho #14 pho and A1 summer rolls! A great light vegetarian meal! The staff is pleasant and quick. I occasionally get the honeydew or green tea bubble tea for a treat. Best Pho of the area by far. Give them a try! read more

What happened to this place?? So very disappointing. This used to be one of our very favorite restaurants in Cleveland. Ordered 56.00 worth of food today and it all went in the trash. My Pho had zero flavor. We keep trying to support our favorite restaurants, but they are not supporting us. It seems so many of our favorites the quality of food has significantly decreased, while prices are rising. A lot of us are going through very difficult times right now. Restaurants are asking for our support, but sadly, the majority are not delivering. read more

Have been wanting to try this place after hearing that they serve the best pho in cleveland. It was difficult finding the entrance to this place. We parked on the side street and ended up walking into a different restaurant thinking it was superior pho. Entrance is actually in the back of the building. I got the #1 meal which came with 1 summer or spring roll, a small pho of your choice and a soft drink ($11.95). The spring roll I had was a good healthy size and came with peanut sauce. I ordered the #3 pho (eye round and brisket) and it tasted delicious! It was the perfect meal during a cold day outside. I've tried other pho places around cleveland and I will say that flavor wise, it was pretty much on par with the others. However in terms of value, superior pho takes the cake. read more

After checking out some of the other Pho restaurants in town, I'd have to say that I agree with the name. This place is the best if you want a good bowl of pho. It's not the best if you're looking for atmosphere - it's a little hole in the wall. read more

I'm having a hard time writing this review because everything has already been said about this place. Best pho I've had. I've had # 1 pho but Superior is far superior (I think someone even said that already). I feel like a really stupid American when I eat pho though. I don't like to slurp and I get weirded out when it splashes on me. My grandmother would kill me if she saw me eating that way. Portions are huge. Service is great. Food is really yummy. Atmosphere isn't the best but who cares. You probably wouldn't want to take a first date (or second date) out for pho anyway. They have bubble tea in several different flavors. I'm probably the only person on the planet that thinks bubble tea is kinda gross. I do NOT want to be chewing on balls, sorry. Next time, I'll ask them to hold the balls, perhaps? read more

I love Pho and this is by far the best Pho I have ever had. The broken rice is delicious too!! I've gotten Superior Pho every single for the past 3 or 4 years- I just seem to have forgotten to post a review. It tastes even better than my Vietnamese friend's mom's pho. The pho broth is perfectly seasoned and I usually get the traditional (beef fliet and meatball) pho or the seafood pho. When you add the basil, lime, and the siracha/hoisin sauce to it- It's BEYOND PHENOMENAL. Places like #1 Pho tend to make their broth a little sweet ( which I don't like and most traditional phos are not sweet in the slightest bit), but their pho is just right and more savory than anything else. The Broken Rice is the best- it's my usual dish. I love the pieces of marinated pork chop topped with the fried garlic on top. The pickles and carrots are not to miss with the mix of hot chilis and siracha sauce. I usually skip on the transparent spicy sweet sauce because it's not needed. It's absolutely delicious the way it is. They give a large portion with plenty of rice to go with it! It's cheap and afforable as a college student. I don't feel bad getting it every week kind of cheap. If you haven't gone you have to try it you wont be disappointed! :) read more

Best Pho in Cleveland as the name indicates. The place is hole in the wall, hidden and located in some old building. What impresses me about Superior Pho is its consistently delicious food. It continues to serve one the best Pho I've had although I heard the west coast has even better to offer. Pretty cheap especially if you get the combo but you can get it cheaper in NYC. Pho is incredible (thanks to the broth), Bun Bo Hue is excellent, Vietnamese sandwich is tasty, and broken rice dish is pretty good. The atmosphere and service leave a bit to be desired but I'm mainly there for some good comfort food. There's another Vietnamese restaurant (#1 Pho) close by and it's hard not to make some sort of comparison. #1 Pho is like a girl with nice appearance but without personality. Superior Pho is clearly the winner when it comes to flavor and certainly my favorite Asian comfort food joint in NE Ohio. read more

With my interest and faith in Vietnamese cuisine renewed, my Disitinguished Guest and I headed to the place my fellow Yelpers claimed had the best Pho. And yeah, wow! The menu has very clear descriptions, so even a novice, such as myself, can get a good, clear idea of what she's ordering. There are even combo meals, so that you can try a few things. The Pho and its component parts tasted very fresh and vibrant. With the generous bottles of sauce and plates of accompaniments, I could play with it to my heart's content. Warning-- the "small" pho is huge. I cannot imagine ever being hungry enough to finish a large bowl. My one disappointment--and only very slightly so--was the summer roll. It was beautifully fresh, and contained a good number of shrimp, a lot of vermicelli and perhaps only one leaf of basil. Up the herbal content and I am there. The iced Vietnamese coffee was a thrill. Most local places offering Vietnamese or Thai iced coffee bring it to the table pre-mixed. Here they bring you a glass containing condensed milk with a little french press (?) or some sort of coffee drip device that freshly brews then filters the coffee into your glass. Once the strong, fresh coffee is filtered, you pour it over ice yourself. The result is fresher, stronger and better than any I have ever tasted. Amazing! read more

Fee-fi-PHO-fum I smell the broth of Vietnam. Topped with basil, lime, bean spouts and peppers My oh my, Pho couldn't possibly get any better. read more

THE GOOD: Hands down, best authentic Pho in town. THE BAD: Spring rolls are on the mushier side. Sometimes the vermicelli gets a little overcooked. And sometimes (GASP) they run out of limes, so bring your own stash if you're a diehard Pho fan like me who wouldn't survive without all the requisite fixins. THE EVEN BETTER: The 3B combo under the Bún dishes is a guaranteed winner even for those new to Vietnamese food. Their grilled marinated pork has just the perfect amount of sweet, salty, smoky and tender most carnivores dream of in the ideal meat morsel. They make a mean taro boba tea shake, which is only my most favorite non-alcoholic beverage in the whole wide world. And best of all, service is über fast. As in breakneck fast. As in, for what you get, it doesn't seem humanly possible to produce the kind of made-in-your-Southeast-Asian-grandma's-kitchen-over-a-sweltering-hot-stove-for-10-hours dishes all these underage-looking juveniles keep bringing to your cluttered table within 10 minutes of you ordering because you can't stop eating, you glutton. And by you, I mean me. DON'T TALK TO ME TILL YOU'VE TRIED THIS: Off the Pho menu: #12, large. Pho FTW. PhoTW!! TRASHTALK: Before you go, becuase you're obviously going to go if you haven't yet, for the love of god Clevelanders, let's say it right. It's Pho, as in "fuh?" and not "foe". I'm looking at you too, Asian Clevelanders. You know you're guilty. Like WTF? without the K at the end, if that makes it any clearer.

I had another wonderful meal last night at Superior Pho! The combination meal #10 (banh mi and a large order of pho) was so satisfyingly amazing. I didn't realize how LARGE their large pho was! There's no way I could finish it in one sitting. Especially since I had the best banh mi sandwich in CLE served along with it! I'm so happy that CLE has this good of a pho restaurant to call it's own. Superior Pho is one of the few places that I don't mind driving across town to enjoy! read more
