I've been here twice and have had the lunch sandwiches, rare beef pho, and a cantaloupe/honeydew/watermelon drink. Get ready for some giant portions. What they lack in flavor, they more than make up with size. The noodles and beef are plentiful and the bowls are bigger than my head. I think Pho Que has more flavor, but their service has driven me away. The drink is delicious and fresh made and, of course, super large. Beware if you dine in, lights are flashing and the music is awful. So awful. read more

What The Pho - #154 watermelon, honeydew, and melon. - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

On today's episode of BOUJEE or BOOTY: They messed up banh mi. As an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, banh mi is your bread and butter (no pun intended). And the service was terrible. But I can ignore that if the food was good. However, the banh mi was old and stale and the "grilled beef" wasn't even grilled.... it was also way too sweet. I know it's a pho place, but if you're going to advertise banh mi then at least try to make it right. All in all, it's a no for me. FINAL VERDICT: BOOTY read more

this place is perfect,to the amazing food to the perfect clean place,would recommend this place.

Perfect every single time! Was a frequent patron when the restaurant was located in 99 Ranch and now so happy for them to be back. My family orders Pho weekly. Always a go to read more

This is my go to place for Pho. So happy they opened back up. Great food, great staff and great prices. The best around by far!

Slow service for take out orders. The dine in orders were done first even if I ordered mine ahead of them.

Been trying out the other items in the menu and the best things here are the desserts. The che options are pretty tasty, but the boba teas are excellent, especially the taro smoothie (the fresh taro one, not the milk powder). The banh mi is still a bit on the salty and MSG-y side. I recommend stick to the desserts, which we usually hit after eating lunch at Thai 88 next door. read more

I called and ordered two sandwiches for pick up. After I drove all the way there, I was told that they were out of sandwiches since last night. I'm very disappointed about this. read more

The pho bowls are pretty big so it makes me full all day. The breads are buy 1 get 1 free and it's only 3.99$. The price range is pretty decent compared to the other place nearby. Also enjoyed their milk tea. read more

What The Pho - Com thit nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

They're banh mi is so alright...And cheap! They're decor is very flashy so it may be straining on the eyes ... Haven't had the pho yet, kind of expensive but you don't have to pay tips. Currently drinking they're mango boba.. I was so excited Cuz the portion is huge!! But it's rather a disappointment. The boba is rock hard, they didn't cook it long enough so it just makes it unpleasant. It's super sweet as well. Eggrolls are 4 for a dollar. Guess I won't be going to bistro b anymore! Ps. They take a hecka long time to get you your food. 2 banh mis took 15 minutes to make read more

What The Pho - Rock hard boba, don't get the boba!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is really convenient, located inside of the Ranch 99 supermarket. My husband and I just came here to get groceries, but then I was in the mood for a snack. But of course I ordered more than just a snack. I had the mango smoothie, which was really bad! I could taste the powder, even though there were mango chunks in there, but I had to give it to my husband to finish because I just couldn't after a couple of sips. The food however, was a better turnout. I had the pork egg rolls with the crunchy part inside. I wasn't a fan of the sauce they gave me. I guess I was thinking it was going to be similar to the one that they have at Bistro B. But it was good and it's the closest thing to it in north Plano. My 2nd food item was a banh mi with a grilled pork patty inside. That was delish!! The size was awesome as well for a B1G1 offer...you just really can't pass that up. However the 2 must be the exact same. The jalepeno did make it a bit too spicy for me, so I had to take that out. I'm really curious though about how the bowls of pho are. The bowls looked huge from when I saw other people eating it. Another faux pas was that you order near the cashier, and you pick it up near the dining area side and they call your number as each item is completed, not when your total order is complete, so just be on the lookout in case you just forget how much stuff you ordered. read more

i dont know what the food taste like yet since ive been sitting and waiting for my food for the past 30mins. I wonder whats taking them so long... and after 38 minutes, i finally got my food.. they must have forgotten about my order until i complained. anyway, food is so so. i would come back to try something else next time since they have so many choices. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Cheapest Boba Tea Smoothie award goes to (drumsticks beating).........What The Pho! (Insert confetti and music here) Ok, all jokes aside, at $4.32(tax-included) for a large Smoothie with boba, that is pretty hard to beat! Their Pho is good too. I ordered a Chicken Pho dine-in, and let me tell you, it is huge. Like, HUGE! I didn't even finish half of it, and I had to ask for a container cause I was so full. They also serve Banh Mi sandwiches I want to try. I'll let you know how that tastes. I also ordered their Spring rolls, and had NO idea that the rice paper was edible. I looked like that confused person who had no idea how to eat what was given. Parking might be a little congested because of the Ranch 99, but that won't stop me from returning! read more

Amazing Pho! I don't understand how this place dropped below 4 stars. I am picky when it comes to pho, but this place is amazing! This location is inside the Ranch 99 Market, and it's basically a food stand with a side sitting area. The table area basically feels like a Poppy Japanese/Korean place. Think white glossy walls and strobe lights (with oddly no Asian music. I'm sure y'all can find a KPop station for the "ambiance"). The sitting area however, is not very big. This is the only downside of coming here, but, come on, it's in a grocery store so don't expect high dining. The old lady, who I'm assuming is either the manager or owner, was really sweet when they brought our food out, and tried talking to our group. The Food is probably top 3 Pho in Dallas. I got the Rare Steak Pho with an Ox tail and we all split shrimp spring roll. They only have one size bowl and it's the Large at most place. I'm a really big guy, and even I couldn't finish my food. It's not expensive, but if you don't want to be wasteful, I Would recommend splitting the bowl with someone and getting a couple side appetizers. The steak was cooked to specification (honestly, I was surprised at the cook with it being inside a grocery store). The Broth was REALLY good as it wasn't too salty. My pet peeve at pho places is when the noodles are so tightly bunched together that it makes it hard to break apart, but I was pleasantly happy at how loose all the noodles were (It's the little things). All in all, a great Pho-ing experience. read more

This location became one of my favorite fast food location. Of course most people would recognize that it is a "(express) branch" of Bistro B. Now I don't have to travel far to get the great food! I like the Durian Boba in particular. When drinking the smoothie, you feel like eating durian - I think they do use real durian fruit. The noodles and rice combo are as good as in Bistro B, but I do notice some times the meat and/or sausages are a little overlooked or too hard to bite - not a big deal, since they still taste great! One small complaint though - they overdid the dining area with disco lighting. It can be quite distracting some times. The dining area is also a little small, so expect some wait when you eat in at the peak hours. read more

What The Pho - Curry Chicken Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

My favorite lunch spot in East Plano. Even better than the Mother Ship (Bistro B). Great Phô and Spicy Thai Soup. Banh Mi (BBQ Pork sandwich) is great, and spring rolls are very fresh and tasty. Order at the counter and then pick a table. I've been eating Phô a couple times a week. I've lost 20 lbs this year and feel energized after eating there. The BBQ Duck Tacos (Bao) are the best!! This gringo loves WTP! read more

Really delicious sandwiches. We have ordered the cold cut sandwich and spring rolls and they're all really good. Fresh food and really nice people. read more

The place is new and nice; it's located inside 99 ranch. I had the shrimp spring rolls; it was soft and warm with a fried wonton wrap inside that adds a nice crunch to it. Also, the sauce was sweet and savory! FOOD: 4/5 SERVICE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 read more

What The Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I like Bistro B a lot, but it is just too far away. I was very happy when this place is open. The menu here is very limited compared to Bistro B. The food quality is basically ok. You cannot expect too much from a simple food trunk. But what makes me stopping go there, is that I noticed their store management started to have more issues. This means, they make more mistakes taking orders, they deliver wrong food order to table, they don't clean the table on time and it takes longer time to get all you ordered. Why I know this? I saw or experienced all of those during the several times of visiting in the past two years. And worst of all, not clean... I hope they could do better. I still would like to give them another chance sometime in the future. read more

A lot of variety. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were just okay. Had too much vegetables and no mint, which I prefer. The pork was the same Pork they use in the Banh mi sandwiches so this was different for me. Bubble tea is good and very large, I needed two hands to hold the cup!!! The sandwiches are alright too. I'll find another place for these. read more

If you want a good a variety of Vietnamese food in Plano - this is the spot. Pho here is flavorful and getting it togo is safe too.

Not sure if it's new owners or what, but the food has gone down. We've been coming here for years and the pho use to be full of flavor. Seems like they've gone cheap on ingredients and refill their pot of pho broth with more water when it's low. My meats seemed like they were picked up from the bottom of the trash, rewashed, and used again. The boba is extremely sweet and when we asked them very politely to make a new one since that one tasted off from normal, the owner did not like the idea and took the smoothie and poured it into the blender and reblended it. When she served it back to us we did not drink it but left it on the table for them to toss out. Poor service, poor food! If they recycle smoothies, I bet they recycle everything else. Eggrolls have a sour smell to them also. Would love to support this establishment but will travel a bit farther into Garland for better food. read more

Dumplings, to die for! When we got our meal though, noodles... they smelled like dog poop. We tried a bite and tasted just like they smelled. read more

Revisited (for takeout) and once again the Chicken Pho was outstanding. Good portion size (I saved half for another meal) and delicious. It was well packed in the to-go bag so as to not move around and make a mess. Restaurant itself is very clean and peaceful. Wonderful for dine-in if that's your choice. I will definitely return. read more

I love the Pho and the Banh Mi here. I'm sure they've got other great stuff but I keep getting my favs and leave full and happy. I've enjoyed this business since they were in the 99 Ranch Market building and have followed them to this new location with a wonderful dining area and accessible parking. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Service 5 stars. Place is clean. Chicken curry with vermicelli is great. Description did say with potatoes and carrots but I didnt get any. However food is great, and I will be returning. read more

As of now, this USED to be my go to spot for pho. Last night, I ordered 4 noodle soups, a rice dish, and apps for takeout. I placed my order and waited for my food. 10 minutes later, the food is brought out in these thin plastic bags, of which, one had a huge hole in it and the container was falling out. The handler didn't even try to fix it until I asked for another bag. Here is the kicker and why I'm upset/giving a poor rating. When I got home, the 4 containers of broth were COLD with that line of fat forming at the top of the container! What if I didn't have a mean or way to heat up the broth? What the F*ck, what the pho. You just lost a loyal customer. read more

Delicious! Every dish is fantastic. Banh xeo is my favorite along with che ba mau. Reminds me of homecooked meals I had as a kid.

We've been to this sister restaurant of Bistro B located inside 99 Ranch Market a few times when we needed a quick bite to eat and were too lazy to go elsewhere since we're already there getting groceries. It's not the most amazing food but it's passable with some inexpensive items. Their sandwiches are buy one get one free though the stipulation is that they have to be the same kind. At $4.25 each it's a pretty good deal. On this recent trip with friends, hubby ordered the Cold Meat Combo Banh Mi. We asked them to put veggies (pickled daikon & carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapenos) on the side for one of the sandwiches as he was eating one on site and taking the other one home. If you leave veggies in, the bread can get soggy but then again some people prefer that like our friend. I ordered the Chao Tom Cuon. The menu described them as spring rolls with roasted shrimp sausage, cilantro, lettuce, cucumbers and pickled carrots served with the house special sauce. The sauce doesn't look appealing and was a goopy light brown but went decently well with the rolls. The shrimp sausage wasn't as tasty as the freshly made kind on sugar cane sticks but decent. There were four rolls to an order so they were relatively filling. We also ordered Banh Khot which are savory mini pancakes topped with shrimp. Generally, they're made with a batter of rice flour, turmeric powder and coconut milk then fried in a cast iron for a crispy golden brown, This version wasn't bad but not as crispy as I would have liked and just a tad too thick. Our friends ordered sandwiches as well and a rice platter. Overall we all enjoyed our food with some items being better than others. Their menu is pretty big for such a small place so it can be overwhelming for some people who aren't familiar with Vietnamese food. I do like that they have items such as Banh Khot that aren't normally found at other places even if it wasn't the best I've ever had. read more

This has become my go to for Vietnamese since I've moved in the area. This is definitely not the best Vietnamese I've ever had but it's still does the job. They still continue to do BOGO free sandwiches. Combination, fried egg, and grilled pork are my faves. Portions here are HUGE. I can barely finish my pho sometimes. It tastes a little on the sweet side and the broth is a bit murky but it's still tasty. Other things I like to get are spring rolls, the 4 pork egg rolls for $1, and the grilled pork rice plate. I do not like their array of smoothies and slushes. They're really artificially sweet. Overall I like the value here! 2 people can eat for less than $20 and be very satisfied. read more

We've been going to this place since it opened a few years ago. The food is okay and the price is reasonable. The older cashier is always friendly, nice, and helpful. We were their for lunch today, half way through our lunch my son need to use the restroom. While washing our hand, I notice one of their employee coming out of the stall, adjusted her hat then walked out. Not sure if she help prep my food but I did not want to finish the rest of my Pho after I got back. read more

What The Pho - sunny side egg banh mi sandwiches - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I like the pho here because the pho, rice & vermicelli plates are cheap, they don't skimp out on meat and food taste good. I've never had 5 star pho like the $1000 bowl on TV served with gold flakes but I've had a lot of bad bowls of pho. This place serve good enough pho. I typically do take out and they package it well and warn me to carry the bag carefully. Service is nice but not 5-Star, it's an Asian noodle shop in a grocery store, don't expect too much. The odd thing about this place is how the bubble tea is served, the drink comes in this wide plastic cup. A bit difficult to hold, esp when filled with icy cold deliciousness. read more

Dirt cheap Vietnamese food located inside of the 99 ranch supermarket. No one who has ever had good Vietnamese food would consider this spot it but for a quick convenient bite this spot is perfect. Egg rolls are 4 for 1$. Miscellaneous wrapped meals in front of the counter are 3 for 6$. Sandwiches are b1g1 at about 3.99 a piece. Please remember that this is a food court style fast casual spot. Although they have a specified dining area, you should not expect full service. Extremely quick casual and delicious. read more

This is a restaurant/fast food counter located inside Ranch 99 right in front of their bakery. Only giving this place 3 stars because of their prices. They had B1G1 Vietnamese sandwiches at $3.99 each. We bought 4 sandwiches - 2 special combo and 2 bbq pork. We were disappointed in the food. The bbq pork had sriracha and plum sauce in it. Not how I like my banh mis at all. I like it the authentic way and those kind of condiments belong in pho, not banh mis. The bread was so hard and chewy, not crispy on the outside and soft inside as they should be. The eggrolls were 4/$1 and, although it may seem like a good deal, the eggrolls had been sitting on the heating lamp all day and the meat inside was tough.Không co ngon. =( And service was SOOOO slow. It must have taken them close to 20 minutes to make our 4 sandwiches. I guess you get what you pay for, huh? read more

As a frequent visitor to the 99 Ranch Chinese Grocery on Spring Creek Pkwy/75, I noticed the the Seafood, Canjun Crawfish restaurant inside the grocery store was replaced by a new Vietnamese restaurant called the "What the Pho". The name is kind of techy but I decided to give it a try. The open kitchen style front counter was nice. I was able to see how they prepared their Bánh mì(sandwich) and Goi cuon (spring roll). There were like 4 - 5 people standing in front of a long table like an assembling line preparing sandwiches. They were putting meat, sauce and stuff inside the sandwiches and wrapped them with paper and tape. The display was clean and the full of Vietnamese snack and dessert at the front counter. They had "HUGE", I mean really really big menu for you to read with pictures on it. So if you are not Vietnamese or not familiar with their food, you would be able to figure out what you want to order. I had made several attempts to talk to the girl at the register but failed. She was either busy with something in the kitchen or busy talking to another customer who was Vietnamese. So I waited for a while and finally got to order my sandwich. I decided to get the grilled pork sandwich and I asked the girl at the counter if it is spicy. She said, "Yes, it is spicy because we put jalapeno and spicy sauce to it." So I said to her, "I want spicy, that is good. Please put in the Jalapeno and spicy sauce." When the girl rang me up, she reminded me that they were running a buy one get one free special. My sandwiches (two sandwiches) came up to $3.99+0.33 (tax)= $4.32 . I was thinking to myself, "That's a pretty good deal." Even though there was no one (I mean I was the only customer there after I ordered) there, I saw the assembly line kept going and going and going. The 4-5 people kept making their spring rolls, sandwiches and putting the sandwiches in bags. They were probably preparing for the catering order that they got for the day (but it was only 11am) Anyhow, I waited, waited and waited. I thought, "How long does it take to make two sandwiches?" "Have they even grilled the pork?" Finally, after 10 minutes, I got my sandwiches. They were foot long sandwiches wrapped nicely in separate paper and tape. Usually if I go to other places, they like to use rubber bands to hold the sandwich together because there are usually a lot of meat and condiments in the sandwich. When I opened the wrapping paper, I was very disappointed. What I got was a dry foot long with baked pork (not sure if it was baked or steam), one long strand of cucumber(not sliced), a few carrot sticks, a long Jalapeno (not even spicy or sliced) and a stem of cilantro. The bun (they were supposed to be baguette but it tasted like a baseball bat) was not even heat up or toasted . It was hard outside and dry inside( best combination?). The sauce was like sweet and sweet, the pork taste like the pork in "Cha Siu Bao", they were just sweet and lukewarm. I was wondering what I just got????? Is it Vietnamese Subway? Even Subway will toast the bread for me. What the? Where is the traditional condiments that Vietnamese restaurant usually put in a Banh Mi Sandwich? No daikon, fresh cilantro, lettuce, sliced up jalapenos? spicy sauce? The pork was lukewarm and thick. Also something in the sandwich tasted stale. I don't know what it is. Maybe they touched some raw food with their gloves and touched my sandwich in the assembly line afterwards? It was hard to chew the bread and the pork and my TMJ started acting up. One of my cold cucumber fell off from the bread because it was so long and slippery! I don't want two sandwiches, I just want my money back. I am not sure what their pho is like. I guess I am not going to try it even it is buy one get one free. Thanks! read more

Unless you want food poisoning like I got, don't come here. Wife got some Togo nam cuon here. My son and I got food poisoning after eating the nem sauce. Giving them the benefit of a first time doubt came in for a visit and ordered grilled pork chop with son. Instead of grilled we got clumps fried raw pork chop of some sort that I wouldn't even feed to my dog. I have to say that Bistro quality has gone down dramatically over the years, it's all about quantities and not qualities anymore. Went into "What the Pho" and came out feeling "What the F...ck!!!" read more
