This is my favorite vietnamese restaurant of all time and by far the best pho I've ever had! Located in the 99ranch plaza, this halal and vegetarian friendly pho spot is a must visit. Portion sizes are huge, service is fast, and the decor is cute and simple. I always get the vegan pho and vietnamese omelet appetizers and they always hit the spot on a cold rainy day read more

Change of management, and food turned out for the worse. Pho is like sugar water now. The previous owners it was like actual savory soup and good price too, under $19. For the sugar water soup now expect to pay $25. Where did the previous owners go???? read more

This was my first time having Pho and it was very delicious. The restaurant is in the strip mall near the Asian market. The space is not huge and it got packed pretty quickly but they make great use of their space. The staff were very attentive and polite. The Pho selection seemed limited but as a first timer, it's great to not feel overwhelmed by a menu. The food came very quickly. Everything was quite flavorful. I'll be back to try a different Pho combination. read more

Very nice restaurant, but be careful, the address on Yelp and other sources is incorrect. Takes you to some apartment complex. Place is on a strip mall next to 99 Ranch. Family of four had eggs rolls, Vietnamese crepe and kimchi, and then four bowls of Pho. Egg rolls wrapped in lettuce and cilantro with a dipping sauce was very nice. Vietnamese crepe w shrimp was large and nicely crispy with shrimp, sprouts and cilantro and green onion. Cut up into small segments and could be a great app for 4-6 people. The four metal bowls with beef Pho were hot and lots of noodles and sprouts. Equivalent to a large size at most Pho places. Plenty of protein, but could make a vegetarian Pho if so desired. The menu is limited though, so appetizers and Pho have to be what you are looking for. Staff were attentive. Carafe w cold water and 4 metal cups was great. We shared two Vietnamese coffees. Our go to place for Pho now. read more

My friend and I finally decided to stop by this Pho spot in Edison. The restaurant is spacious but looks small on the outside. The booths are only located on the right side of the building. The staff: They are friendly and smile with their eyes. My friend thought one of them was really cute. They checked up on us from time to time and asked if we needed anything. Veggie Spring Roll: This did not taste all that great and I would not recommend it. Beef Stew Pho: This was better than I had expected and was flavorful. Overall: They could expand on their menu to give the customer more appetizer and pho options. I believe the menu is too simple and could use more variety. read more

Hip spot with quick service. Good location, in a plaza with other things to check out. Parking is never a hassle. I started with the Vietnamese coffee, which was fragrant and slightly on the bitter side, which I prefer. Menu was very straightforward to order from. I had pho with rare beef, brisket, and beef balls. Broth was flavorful and portions are generous. My "rare" beef came fully cooked and was overcooked by the time I was able to dig in. Otherwise, the meats were good. Overall solid pho spot, would come back especially given the location. read more

Atmosphere: 5 The vibe here is awesome. Lots of sitting options and they can definitely handle bigger parties. We were seated at the booth and there were hooks where we can hang our clothes. Love that little detail. The menu is easy to understand and I love the ability to customize my pho. The wait staff were really friendly and cheerful. It definitely helped set a nice vibe for dinner! Portions: 5 The bowl of pho is huge and has tons of ingredients. I appreciate that there were ample amount of the ingredient options I chose. Some pho restaurants load up the bowl with noodles and the ratio of food per bite is off. Flavors: 5 I am obsessed with the broth! Lately, the pho restaurants I've been to tend to have overly sweetened broth. The broth is so flavorful. Not overly salty nor sweet, but still full of flavor. To note: I had the beef broth but they did also have a veggie broth option. I also ordered the spring roll (technically summer roll) and the sauce was really good. I feel like they could have included more ingredients in it and less noodles though. I also had a sip of my husband's Vietnamese coffee and it was very creamy with a nice coffee flavor. Overall, I will most likely go there again and often. Nice atmosphere, and great food! Maybe next time I will try their fried spring roll! read more

If you're looking for reliable, quality pho in Central New Jersey, The Pho Spot in Edison off of Route 1 would be considered staple. There is an unfounded belief that one can identify a great Vietnamese restaurant for quality food through its name, whether it has a number (i.e. 88) or contains some variety of "An" in the naming convention. While the subscription to this belief is a hit or a miss (I've come to find out through credulous studies [mainly my personal experiences] that it literally splits down the middle, working 50% of the time, all the time). Well, The Pho Spot certainly breaks that mold. The Pho Spot is divey-yet-simple-pleasant-and-enjoyable. The first part of that description comes from the analysis of its outward appearance and simple menu. The Pho Spot is conveniently located off the south bound side of Route 1 in Edison. It sits within the shadows of the bigger, more popular giants such as 99 Ranch and even Yi Fang. It sits back between Seoul Fried Chicken, a salon, and a liquor store - it really is unassuming and can be easily missed if you're not paying attention. As mentioned, the menu is quite simple. Quick caveat to this: I believe there has been some effort in expanding the menu - in addition to the base pho offerings, the restaurant has since added some other common dishes such as Gỏi Cuốn, a variety of vermicelli bowl, and Bún Bò Huế [don't quote me on this last one because I know it can be a game changer for those die hard BBH fans]. The beauty of the menu works off a make-your-own-pho-combination system: a broth type [beef or vegetable], 3 selections of meat, and garnishing add-ons. While this may appear a bit lacking, it really wows and surprises in flavor. Additionally, the flavor is ALWAYS consistent. This is saying a lot because consistent pho broth flavor is hard to find. Not only is the flavor consistent, it is probably the best in the area. Trust me. The other game changer is for those that like a bit of spice in their life. There is a chili pepper add-on that I guarantee is hotter than other Vietnamese restaurants. They must use some super-strain of Thai's Bird Eye or Serrano, whatever it is, it hits and that ish be bussin'. Really the flavor and quality of the food gives this place a 5 stars out of 5. The ambiance is really enjoyable - no blaring music or anything. It really is just a simple, sit-dine-and-enjoy type of establishment. It seems roomy, and from the different times we went, it never felt crowded with enough space to really move around. Yes, they take credit card, and no, there is no minimum charge for credit card use. Again, if you're a "pho purist" and looking for a good bowl, this is the spot [no pun intended]. read more

Eating the pho there on the spot was better. Soup broth came out extra piping hot. Everyone was nice and the food came out super fast. I would def come here again for my pho cravings. I would recommend the Vietnamese coffee but skip on the lemonade soda as it's literally just lemonade carbonated lol. I was expecting pickled lemonade soda type of thing. read more

In a strip mall nestled two doors down from the mall's anchor store, 99 Ranch Market, is an unassuming pho spot. The name is appropriately named, The Pho Spot and they are right on the money with their pho. Talk about legit! I was not expecting much from the outside but everything changed when I walked through their doors. Inside was spacious and plenty of seating. I'm loving their booths! The friendly waitress gave us our menu and a glass for my husband's beer. It is a BYOB and next door happens to be a liquor store which has so many things but that's another Yelp review. Upon perusing their menu, one gets the feeling of Chipotle. Order your base broth, protein, sides... you get the picture. We ordered one vegetarian broth with bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu and the other was a bone broth with tripe, tendons, and rare steak (on the side). Both of the broths had an incredible aromatic and basil flavor. These bowls were accompanied with rice noodles, bean sprouts, cilantro, scallions, onions, and Thai Basil inside the broth. The serrano chili peppers and lime wedges were on a separate plate. I would personally prefer more bean sprouts and Thai basil. Two words to describe these bowls: heavenly and comforting! Fresh ingredients, excellent sized bowls, generous portions of proteins and add ons. Their bowls simply blew us away. Hubby and I will definitely be back.

We came with a family of 10 and this place was surprisingly slow at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. This place isn't authentic by any means but they serve a pretty satisfying bowl of pho. The restaurant is very open and modern. There's a changing table inside the bathroom. Service here is great, I love how you customize your bowl (it's one of the few places where I can omit cilantro, onions, and scallions). I also love the ice water, chilis, and lime on the side. I ordered the beef bò kho from the special menu and the broth was delicious. Portion size it was very generous and the beef was tender. The bill came out around $173 and everyone left satisfied and full after. read more

When the owner and head chef comes out of the kitchen to teach you how to properly eat a spring roll (for the record, to be wrapped on the outside with lettuce and cilantro) you know you've found a place that is authentic and a home. Incredibly attentive service and a very cool, modern take on traditional decor, The Pho Spot is the only place I wanna eat Vietnamese food in New Jersey. Let's talk about apps first because they're the winners. You can't leave without trying the mini crepes. A somewhat sweet batter bowl holds shrimp and fresh greens; with the sweet vinegar on top, it's perfection. You can't go wrong with either the spring or summer rolls. Definitely get both. Now for the eponymous Pho - the broth is subtle, rich, and so filling. One bowl is good enough for two people for sure. I love all the available options, from the ubiquitous brisket, tendon, rare steak to the more exotic quail eggs. I also don't typically see so many veggie options, but really loved the idea of putting bok choy or mushrooms in my soup. Much love to the crew for catering to the Muslim and vegetarian communities in the area read more

Located in a shopping complex along with tjmaxx, ranch 99, sunmerry bakery, etc. This was a great new option to the complex. Upon being seated, the menu was easy to figure out. You were able to pick up to 3 options for your pho, from brisket and tripe to tofu and beef balls. Then you had a choice of soup, beef or vegetable. Then by default, you would receive all the normal add ins - bean sprouts, thai basil, hot peppers, scallions, etc and you could opt to remove the things you didn't want. The food came out really fast, barely a 5 minute wait which was great. The soup was very flavorful. Our only complaint was that it was a bit too salty. Other than that, everything was perfect. read more

It's located in the strip mall so there's plenty of parking. We could not find the spot until we drive around. This place is tucked in from other store fronts. Upon entering, we were greeted and taken to our seats. The menu is limited to pho only as entrees. There's only one size bowl for one price. You select the meat, toppings, and broth. Yes, it can be vegan friendly. You can ask for lime and jalapeños on the side. They also sell summer rolls. Our order came quick because the broth is already cooked and simmered. Overall, it is delicious. The broth is a hit and it warmed me up from the cold rainy day. I had the beef brisket (highly recommend because of the tender meat), shrimps and mushroom, beef broth and all toppings/garnishes included. We will definitely come back again. The pho is pricey comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants but it is worth it as long as the quality of food and service remains good. read more

So are you are looking for Pho? This is the place you would go to because this is all they serve. Besides the summer rolls this is the main dish that they serve in the restaurant. You would choose between two broths beef or veggie. You can add up to three toppings that includes brisket, beef balls, quail eggs, tofu, rare steak, tripe, shrimp, mushroom, baby bok choy, and edamame. Also, one size and one price for all bowls. All pho comes with rice noodles, bean sprouts, Thai basil, onions, scallions, cilantro, and lime wedges. You can also ask not to add anything you don't want. On to the food review, for my first time here I chose the beef broth, with the brisket, rare steak, and quail eggs. The broth had a nice flavor to it, but it wasn't the best I've tasted. That title still belongs to a small Vietnamese restaurant in Orlando Florida. None the less, it was still good but my only gripe is that the bowl was very expensive. Around sixteen dollars a bowl, you can't eat this every week knowing you can it make it your self for half the price with more servings. I would say if you are in the area and in the mood for good pho then give this place a try. The restaurant decor is dressed up with some Vietnam decorations and the place seems modern. You can see the big pot of the pho broth in the kitchen area too. There is plenty of parking and this was tucked away in the corner next to the Korean fired chicken place. read more

I honestly did not know that there was a pho place in this plaza, but decided to come here due to never trying this pho place before and the few good reviews. I was not disappointed! My boyfriend and I stopped by on a weekday for lunch (we took off work that day), and the restaurant only had 1 or 2 tables seated. Service was prompt, and the restaurant interior was cute, "hip", and clean. I really liked the decor and interior. I was very surprised by the menu, being that it was a super simple print-out menu for you to build your own bowl, and that was the only thing on the menu aside from Vietnamese rice paper spring rolls (no fried spring rolls). However, it did make our lives much easier. I ordered one order of the shrimp spring rolls and my partner and I got the Pho Dac Biet with rare steak, brisket, and tripe (you can choose 3 meats), all vegetables, and a side of spicy peppers. I asked for extra cilantro, onions, and scallions and was happy for my request to be granted. The food was definitely fresh, and the broth was actually really good! The portions were decent, although there was not a lot of meat -- I didn't expect that much as other restaurants give around the same. Overall the noodles were yummy and they gave us a separate plate with the extra cilantros, onions, and scallions which elevated my noodle experience. I would definitely stop by again for a simple bowl of pho noodles after this trip. I think this would be a very cute place to meet up with friends or to come with a date. It would be the best option if your friends are all indecisive and cannot make a decision with a huge menu. If you're looking for a huge selection of Vietnamese food though, this might not be the place for you. read more

I saw this place maybe almost a year ago. It was new to me. So I asked for a menu because I like to try different food. But when I saw it was a soup and noodles kind a place. I did think about that much after awhile because I'm not a soup person that much. So decided to try it today. It was very good. But the young Asian waitress need to do better. Her phone seem more important then serving me. I kept asking for simple stuff. Then had to pack my own food and clean the table myself. I was the only customer! Smh read more

A new spot around my parent's house! My dad was so excited to see that they've finally opened. Ever since moving here during the pandemic, he's been missing all the foods he used to get around our home back in Brooklyn. He doesn't like to drive around and this place is walkable distance for him, hence the excitement. We actually had a total of 6 orders but I didn't take photos of all of them since they look pretty similar. We tried both the vegetable and beef broth. They both get a thumbs up. The menu is a bit different from your traditional pho restaurant as you can't just order a #1 or the other basic dishes (I find most vietnamese restaurants go by a similar menu, if not identical). Instead, they have it as a build-your-own-bowl style. While the size of your order is set, you get to choose your toppings (up to 3) and broth (beef or veggie). I like how the takeout bowls are bowls and not the quart containers. I just wished the size of the bowls were a teenie bit bigger only because it was not able to hold all the broth and it was a little difficult to mix everything together. The portions were pretty big. Although the bowls itself were small, they were fully packed and filled to the rim. Not one person was left hungry after this meal. read more

There were also new appetizer added like the Vietnamese crepes which sounds interesting and egg rolls. read more

The Pho Spot Edison is a Vietnamese restaurant that specializes in pho, a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. The restaurant is located in the Edison, New Jersey, and it is a popular spot for both locals and tourists alike. The pho at Pho Spot Edison is made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The broth is flavorful and aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and fresh. The service at Pho Spot Edison is friendly and attentive. The staff is always happy to help you choose the perfect dish and answer any questions you may have. We ordered the Regular Pho which includes 3 choices of protein and everything else. I ordered mushrooms, tofu and bowl choy in veggy broth. The veggy broth was flavorful and aromatic with basil and cilantro, adorned with a bounty of mushrooms, bean sprouts, several slices of tofu and several whole pieces of baby bok choy. The noodles were cooked to perfection. My only critique is that the rice noodles were cut a bit too aggressively leaving inch long strands in the broth. Chasing them with a spoon gave me an excuse to finishing all the broth. It was good! Overall, Pho Spot Edison is a great place to enjoy a delicious bowl of pho. The food is excellent, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. read more

Tried the Bo Kho this time. I love that they're serving something that isn't seen on the menu a lot. The broth is rich and has lemongrass. However its on the sweet side.

One of the best Pho laces I have eaten at. The Pho with rare stake, briskrz, and tendencies was scrimptuous and generously served. There was a vegan broth and ingredients option, but I have not tried it. The basil leafs and sprouts were already in the broth but cut green chile and lime wedge came on the side. The servers were college girls but they did good job. The ambience was trendy industrial bright lit. No loud music. Suitable for conversation at the table. read more

While we may think Vietnamese food is common, there are still newbies to pho and the like. And the Pho Spot is an excellent gateway to these dishes for newcomers, with a modern aesthetic and easy-to-follow menu options. A pretty rad (and random) feature is unlimited kimchi. An interesting mix of cuisines here, but I'll allow it :) The only real drawback was the location, as it was a bit hard to find tucked away between a corner of the shopping complex. read more

Amazing pho with top quality ingredients. I ordered a build your own with 3 ingredients- brisket, steak, and tripe. The pieces of steak that came in the soup were the thickest I've seen in a bowl of pho. Super legit! The brisket came perfectly raw and cooked instantly. I didn't notice much if any impurities that would typically float to the top. read more

New pho spot (ha) in Edison, New Jersey. Overall I had an okay experience. If I'm being perfectly honest, I understand the concept but I don't know if I'm fully on board. It's a modern, build your own pho restaurant. Limited, concise menu. And the service is pretty good. However, it wouldn't be my first choice the next time I'm thinking about a bit bowl of noodles. I want the option to sample other Vietnamese dishes with lemongrass and various meats. Perhaps I'm a traditionalist but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

The small menu really makes this place amazing. They can focus on making a few thing really well and not over compliacte anything. Something about the chicken pho is very comforting. I dont care that it's summer. It still hits the spot. I get it with the vegetarian broth and all the sides. The staff are very kind and welcoming too. Sitting in is nice, but the seating is rough on the bones. I prefer to get it to go, which is also super easy to do. The order is always ready within minutes. read more

When I found out I was 14% Vietnamese from a 23&Me DNA test the first thing I said to myself was...I don't even like pho that much. That would also explain why I had 3 ex-bfs that were Vietnanese. English was not the first language for one of exes but he sure was hotter than one of these bowls of pho. The menu is simple. The bowls here only come in one size for $15.25. You get to choose 3 toppings from 11 choices. I always get the rare steak, brisket and tripe. Let them know if you want all or eliminate some of the garnishes that come with. Lastly, choose your broth, beef (bone broth) or veggie (vegan). So why did I give this place 5 stars when I said that I don't even love pho that much? The noodles are cooked perfectly, the toppings are fresh. They are served in these huge metal bowls that keep everything piping hot until you slurp up that last noodle. Service is spot on. read more

Customer service is always on point. The interior was thought carefully creating a fun atmosphere. Great to go alone for a great bowl of pho or to go with family and friends! If you ever need a warm bowl of pho that has the potential turn bad days it's good days... this is it. read more
