    Nice large room, seems very clean. The pho came out quick and portions were large. Flavorful and filling. Nice place

    overall the food is good. I prefer other spots for Vietnamese food in Richmond but this place is not that bad. Restaurant is clean and well decorated. Unfortunately, the service was super slow since there was only one server taking care of all the tables. He was super nice but I could tell he was overwhelmed. Maybe restaurant was down a few servers and I just caught them at a bad time.

    Bff and I caught up here and it was so good! The parking lot want that full, but I can imagine it getting pretty full easily, so I'm glad it wasn't. The server was at the host stand when we got there, very friendly, and we are one of maybe 4 or 5 tables with guests. Bff got a noodle soup dish she remembered but wasn't on the menu, and the server recognized it when she described it. My appetizer plate and her noodle soup dish were delicious, very yummy! I'm bout the biggest fan of Vietnamese good, but the appetizers were spot on asmr bff enjoyed her soup thing!

    Food was delicious. Loved the shrimp wontons! They were super full of shrimp and surprisingly really filling. The pho, wonton soup, and Thai tea were great too! Clean and spacious. Service was kind of slow. Otherwise great!

    Tay-Ho is a nice option for pho. They have plenty of seating, which makes it easy for big groups. The service is always friendly and prompt. My go-to's are the cha gio and pho tai.

    This was my second time coming here (first time was about 4-5 years ago), and my favorite part of the restaurant is the wide variety of food items to try. The food is also very reasonable price and the place does not skimp out on quality and quantity. Most viet places have pho as their main dish but we especially loved the C1 grilled barbecue pork and M1 Vietnamese beef stew. My mom loves to make the wraps in C1, and for $14, it was very worth it. I got the P3; the broth was strong and flavorful. I think the flank steak and brisket were chewier than usual, so maybe they were cooked for too long and then added to the pho bowl. I was a bit disappointed with M10 because the broth was not as flavorful as I hoped. It was a clean, colorless broth, but even those can still have a good flavor profile. It also just came with shrimp, fish balls, and pork-- which I think is a bit basic. Surprisingly, I quite liked M1 Vietnamese beef stew because the soup was strong and thick and the beef chunks were nice, soft, and unexpectedly big. Still, the meat tore away very easily, and the dish was not spicy at all (maybe just a little bit oily). The ambiance was quiet and dim when we came in. There were no lights on except the blinding lighting from outside. I'm not a fan of places that use really dim lighting because it's hard to see and doesn't create a warm restaurant environment. The environment was clean and decorated in a minimal modern way. Most decor was plants and nice lights that hung from the ceiling. Parking is very easy to find and there are plenty of spots of pick from. I have mixed opinions on the customer service. We were greeted quickly and he sat us at a booth. My only issue with the booth was that is was sopping wet and wasn't dried at all, not even a weak attempt to dry it. The food service itself was fast, and I felt like the two staff members were rushing when taking our orders and distributing utensils and food. Perhaps we just came at a bad time and they were in the middle of dinner prep. I'd probably come back again for some more pho though.

    good food vibe server was good they have nice drinks selection they serve alot of vietnamese dishes

    Stopped by here because our favorite Thai restaurant was closed. We figured Vietnamese was close enough! We both ordered soups and my wife also ordered an appetizer as the main course. The soups were very good, although I think they use a little too much cilantro. I ordered a clay pot chicken dish. It was quite good, but it took a long time to come out of the kitchen. On the same token, the server brought my wife's main course along with the appetizer. Overall, it is a solid restaurant. Need to staff up a little bit more so that the one person isn't having to manage the entire dining room. My only real issue with the place was the service, but I think with an additional server it would've made a big difference.

    Really enjoyed the food here. The pho broth is a little sweeter than I'm used to but still good. The bowls our pho was served in was so old they almost looked dirty. I don't think they were because this restaurant is extremely clean

I read about it on a Northern VA Foodie Facebook group and just happened to be staying in the area the next day, so I stopped in with a coworker who really loves Pho too. It's a small house in a neighborhood filled with similar sized houses, but it was easy to find, as it was the only 'house' on the street with a large parking lot, which was packed! I walked in and the inside was packed too, and that was around 1PM. But I was immediately greeted and he said he'd clean a table for us. We sat down and checked the menu and I was happy to see such a huge variety of so many Vietnamese delights, not just lots of Pho, but different styles of entrées and appetizers too. I tried their Phở Tái (thinly sliced, rare, beef eye round) and my coworker got Phở Ga (chicken Pho). We also started with their pork crispy spring roll and their summer roll. Both rolls were really tasty and made with fresh ingredients. The Pho we ordered was beautifully served and tasted great! The richness and depth of flavor in the Phở Tái was so nice. The accoutrement that came with the Pho was extremely fresh. Overall, this was a very nice experience. Food quality and flavor were spot on. Service was Very Friendly and Great! Just bring ca$h, because that's the only way you can pay there. But go, give 'em a try!

I have a good appetite, and a small size filled me up! I had a flank & brisket noodle soup, wife had the shrimp. Both broths were delicious, lightly seasoned and obviously simmered for a long time. Prices were very reasonable and we look forward to trying other options in the future!

The menu is loaded with many Vietnamese delights, but I was only there for Pho, so I asked what broths they make and was surprised to learn they make beef, chicken, and vegetable broths for their Pho! Many places I visit only seem to make a beef, so I was happy to be able to enjoy chicken broth with my Phở gà. I told him to pack the order securely as I had a long drive home, but that clearly didn't happen. I didn't wait long for my order, maybe 10 minutes total and when I got it, it was in a tied plastic bag, which I carried out. I felt heat on the bottom and thought maybe one of the lids leaked, so when I looked at the lids, they were very poorly secured, which is an issue. They bought terrible, cheap, low-grade quart containers, which barely hold the lid. So I seatbelted the bag in my front seat and made it home fine. But when unpacking at home, I noticed the large round containers they put the main food in had lids that was sitting on top of the base, but didn't lock on at all - Again, cheap containers. They also had a nice assortment of accoutrement in that container, but everything was mixed together, both the cold and the hot - this is NOT appropriate. You should never pack cold and hot things in a single vessel when food is "to go." Even still, we separated everything and when it came time to eat, the noodles were so soft, they were melting. The broth was on the bland side, so I found myself adding Sriracha and salt for the first time ever to my Pho broth. The veggies were fresh though. The chicken looked and tasted good, but there were several odd, dark pieces in it that wasn't appetizing to come across. Overall - I really wanted to love this experience, especially since the smell inside that restaurant was great, but I feel it was slightly less than was it should have been. I'd say this was a 3.5 star visit, but will rate on the hi-end at 4 stars. Would I return? Not for Pho.

The dumplings weren't really my thing, but the menu is huge and has a-lot to choose from. Overall, based on this first experience, it's probably not a place I'd personally go out of my way to recommend, but if you enjoy Vietnamese food and are looking for a solid spot to grab a bite, it could be worth trying.

Soup isn't a meal -- it's a thick beverage. Like a milkshake, but made of tomatoes and eaten while a grilled cheese sandwich watches in judgment. Pho is different. Pho isn't just a hunger suppressant -- it's an activity. Like dipping fries in ketchup or doing fondue. You get to cosplay as the chef while the restaurant acts as your sous chef. They gather the materials; you do the real work. Want lightly cooked tripe? Pull it out early. Want thoroughly cooked brisket? Let it soak. Want to eat an entire garden with your meat? Add all the bamboo, basil, and mint. Want a primitive diet? Take the garden home for the rabbit you'll slaughter tomorrow. You are the pilot of this meal. If your pho sucks, that's on you -- take notes and do better next time. If it's amazing? Congratulations. You are now a world-class Pho-er. This is exactly why I like pho to go. In the restaurant, the chefs behind the counter assume you're a n00b and finish it for you. At home, you control your destiny. PHO 95 Hai Ky Mi Gia hits all the right marks for me. I also ordered the crispy pork egg rolls. They're what you'd expect -- probably the same supplier as half the restaurants in America -- but the key difference is they didn't overcook them. That alone sets them apart. Just enough grease to coat my mouth in flavor, not so much that I could power a lamp for seven nights. Totally going back. P1 is the universal baseline, but next time I might live dangerously and try the S4. Maybe next week. Photos included... need to work on my food presentation skills.
