Pho 79 Reviews

We visited this Vietnamese Pho restaurant that is located in a strip center with plenty of parking and provides easy access to the restaurant. We were seated quickly and a pleasant young lady took our order and a gentleman served us. He balanced the large bowls of flavorful soup with delicious tender meat and rice noodles. We also ordered a cold noodle dish with BBQ pork that really rocked. The portions are large. We also had the tofu spring rolls as an appetizer that were bland and was missing something! The menu has a lot of interesting options and can’t wait to go back to try them. We had visited the other location in Davie but this location is closer and just as good if not better.

We came here last night at 7pm, place was pretty much packed with guest, got greeted by observant waitress got a quick table here, food came quite fast too, no wonder this place is so busy at dinner time. We ordered various bowls, and all was quite tasty, and prices were also reasonable. I would definately recommend this if you want like super quick local pho (rice noodle soup ) Various bubble tea etc.....

Been here in several occasions, pho large is a good size bowl of somethin good and solid eatery. Prices is not announce on the menu due to the inflation, so prices varies at the moment, but do check you bill before paying coz the actually add 15% on top for service which i think it isnt okay, they just serve the noodles and beverages thats all. It is no way worth 15% service charge if you ask me. Which they add on top !!

We like to go for Pho on a weekend - this is located off a very busy road (and major intersections), so weekday rush hour is very difficult. Lots of strip mall parking - restaurant is very clean and modernized (not dowdy old furnishings and ambiance we've come to expect from Asian restaurants). We've never encountered bad customer service. The different Staff has always engaged in conversation if we have questions or need suggestions. The Pho and food we order has always been tasty and satisfying. We like #34. Be warned that the large Pho is enormous!!! I order the small now (which is a great size for me), but my boyfriend still orders the large - only because he loves all the meats. After he eats all the meats and herbs, etc., he drinks some broth, eats some noodles, and calls it a day - it's BIG!!! Today we also ordered Korean BBQ short ribs, which were also very tender and tasty. We're repeat customers - will return!

At a recommendation,we visited this restaurant hoping to find great Vietnamese food at a good price. We were truly disappointed, and will definitely will not be returning. Good broth which is added to almost everything they serve, but unfortunately it is not worth your while. The atmosphere is that of a “food court” in a shopping center. The service is mediocre at best, and the food is grossly overrated, as I’ve enjoyed a better egg roll / spring roll in any restaurant in Miami. The seafood plates are pretty much loaded of the “plastic” artificial crab. It was pretty full, which I don’t understand, maybe from being accross Florida International University? You can get better Vietnamese food in any other restaurant that serves it. Visit at your own risk, but I suggest you save your time and money!

It had been hard to find good Pho in Miami. Well if you have been looking this is the place. It’s located in a plaza but don’t let that deter you. Clean and efficient and a well diverse selection of Pho. Also other items on the menu for the non pho lover. We have been 3 times so far and all visits have been consistently good. Owner cooks up the bone base broth himself. It is rich and deep. Great service. Great food. Give it a try and I promise you’ll be back.

Not what I expected. Is a good place for the students from FIU. Large portions, fast service, crowded dining room. As for us it wasn’t pleasant. The food was ok, to much bean sprouts not enough noodles. Not sure I’ll be back.

It was my first time eating here but it certainly won't be my last. This is a casual restaurant in a shopping plaza across from FIU. Everything was super fresh and tasty. I added fish sauce and hot pepper to my pho and I was in heaven. I ordered the small size (under $10) and it was too much for me at lunch, although I could have done with a little more beef. Prices are reasonable and service quick and pleasant. I am excited to return and try their other offerings.

I consider myself a true fanatic of pho... ...or should I say pho-natic? And I've tried pho in Vietnamese restaurants all over the country, Houston with its' large Vietnamese community comes to mind or the pho spots at Eden Center in Falls Church,Virginia,where the first Vietnamese refugees settled after the fall of Saigon or better yet Pho 24 in Atlanta,the only pho spot that I know of that serves steaming hot bowls of pho 24 hours a day! So it's been a regular complaint of mine that Miami didn't really have a Vietnamese restaurant that served good pho.... nothing fancy just the basic pho done right and served with the proper garnishment and sauces to doctor my pho to my particular taste. Yes I know that in fact there's other Vietnamese options in Miami but somehow they never felt just right for me, either they are located too out of the way for me or they're trying to be too fancy (with prices to match!) or they simply just didn't give me the pho options I like to be able to choose from. But now I've discovered Pho 79 and just a few blocks from my parents house! I've already been twice and both times they've been busy with students from nearby Florida International University enjoying inexpensive but satisfying steaming bowls of pho and other freshly prepared Vietnamese dishes, I always start with an order of fresh rolls (goi cuon) and their pho is just right,the perfect Asian comfort food for me! They also have a nice selection of bubble teas and service is super fast,most of the servers seem to be Indian students from FIU but I particularly took a liking to one young man who's possibly Vietnamese by the name of Danny,he really made sure we were well taken care of... thank you for the excellent service Danny! Anyhow I'm so happy to now have a regular spot to get my pho fix,a spot as good as any other I've dined at in other more "Asian" cities. Now if I can only convince the owners to keep their establishment open 24 hours!

On 6-6-18 I took my girlfriend to this restaurant for the first time. We order #34 and 35. The food was prepared fast, great customer service and the food was tasty. After I had the mango smoothie, wow amazing.

Was given a menu, took my time looking at it. Finally when I’m about to order I’m told they are closed. Why offer me the menu then? Considering I was there on time (before closing at 10:00pm), I found the wasting of my time quite annoying and unprofessional. Either serve until 10:00pm or change your closing time… or just don’t even give me a menu in the first place.

This is an unpretentious restaurant serving Pho with a myriad of ingredients,authentic to Vietnam. I bypassed the pig blood. Rice dishes are available in addition to Pho. We were a family of four and ate for $40. We took home a doggy bag.

good portion sizes, great flavor. come here for some authentic pho and yummy drinks. great to come with friends and family

Absolutely terrible customer service... My husband and I had the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant when we ate here. My husband ordered something and did not like it. When we told the manager, he said that we could not return it and proceeded to tell my husband to pick out what he didn't like. I have never ever been to a restaurant that made you eat something that you didn't like and didn't replace it for you so you could have an enjoyable experience. He refused to give my husband a new bowl of pho that takes less than a minute to put together. He told us that he would get fired if he got us a new bowl of soup, which I am sure was a lie. He then sent the "owner " to our table who proceeded to tell us the same thing, which was "just pick out what you don't like." When we refused to do that, he then said that he would only bring us new broth and that my husband needed to pick out the meat himself to put in the new broth. When my husband refused to do that ridiculous task, he then said that he would pick out the meat to put in the new broth! Needless to say, he came back with a new bowl of pho with new meat because he realized he didn't want to pick out the meat himself. We asked if he was indeed the owner, and he said no, which means that the other man lied when he said he would send the owner over. Either that or he didn't want to admit to being the owner. At that point, we were too upset to finish eating so we paid and wanted to leave. I can't believe they made us pay for such a terrible experience. The experience got even worse when we went up to pay. The woman at the counter began to ask us about our experience (since obviously she had already been informed of the situation)and then told us that we should've just picked it out ourselves!! I told her that I could not believe she was telling us that again after what we had experienced. She was patronizing us. I am a business owner and know the importance of treating customers with respect. The management here is absolutely disgraceful.

We ordered the #32 which is all beef Pho. Broth was super beefy, rich and flovorful. The fresh greens really added another depth of flavour. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I will most def be back

It’s good but I had pho in other restaurants that is better than this. The service is good, nice friendly atmosphere.

If you're like me and you love your foe this is definitely the place to go! I've been here a few times in my past and they never fail to please me. Try it.....you will love it! They offer an extensive Pho menu featuring a variety of delicious Phos to choose from.

My first Pho experience was with a Vietnamese family. Nothing will ever match that first bowl, but this is a close second! Fantastic Pho, fresh ingredients, lightning fast seating and service. Going to be a definite go-to regular outing.

I went to this place and tried the Pho Soup for the first time in my life, It was excellent. Wonderful experience, full of flavors.

Fast and Fresh meals! Don't be confused when multiple waiters take your orders, it's all going to the table number. When you're done, you simply go to check out and tell them your #. If it's your first time I recommend #25, rare steak and beef brisket or #34 if you're into chicken. With your soup, they hand you a plate with fresh basil, long cilantro, sprouts and lime. Put all that Sh*t in there [with a Drop of the dark red hot sauce] and you'll be in love :)

Food is OK but service is very poor and didn't inform us that they'll applied 18% service charges for six people. It's not a high end restaurant with great service. We'll never go again and very disappointed.

Visited October 3 at noon. Chicken pho was not good. There was nothing besides tasteless chicken and rice noodles. Large one was almost 12 USD and it's expensive for what it was. Item #17 was not bad. Food was served fast. They tell you where to sit. Not being able to choose where to sit would be a drawback to me. A male waiter was keep scratching/picking his nose/mouth area.

Went in on a Sunday and it was busy with lots of people. Was sat down quickly attendees to. Keep in mind that this place is first come first serve. So if you have a large party have everyone there before being seated. We ordered quickly for a Eye Round Pho, All-the-way Pho and Spring Rolls plus Vietnamese Iced coffees. Iced coffees were served strong and quickly in plastic cups. Next to arrive were the spring rolls, 4 perfectly fried meaty rolls wii nous Cham dipping sauce. They have 3 different sizes of Pho: small, medium and large. I suggest medium for most regular eaters and large if you are extra hungry. The pho soup was tasty and clean tasting. Both had the basic pho setup of your choice meat, rice noodles, cilantro and onions already swimming with the soup. Both soups were served with fresh shaven eye round, plus the special had an array of other meat items included (oh so tasty). When you are ready to pay, just walk up to the cash register towards the back and tell them your table number. Quick and easy. We were in and out in under an hour for sure.

My family and I recently visited Pho 79. What a great experience starting with our waiter Brandon. I'm a vegan and found many dishes that I enjoyed. My family is not and also found a great variety. You don't want to miss Pho 79! The service was fast and the food was delicious.

Wow. Where do I start???!!! We LOVED iT! Impeccable place Fast, good, and efficient service Wonderful prices Deliciousssssssssss food Everything was great. We had: Boba tea capuchino; it was so refreshing, perfect amount of sweet, and the most delicious boba ever. They had so much boba that we started counting how many we were having until we lost the count. Boba tai tea; the best one I have had so far! A mixed pho with meat, steak and fresh vegetables. It was so good, the juices of the meat and flavors of the vegetables were blended so well making this an amazing dish. Chicken breast pho, it was soooo good and it can not get any fresher than this. They brought us some herbs to put in it and the Taste was superb. All this including tip was $40 And we took plenty home.

I had the Chichen pho today item #35 in your menu, had the large serving. The chicken was Tough! Not fresh it tasted old. I will stick to the seafood one.

Loved this spot. Great friendly service, awesome Pho. This is a unique experience in Miami, so if you're looking for a cultural shift, do it!

I have to mention that last part because that’s always a good sign for an Asian restaurant. Almost every seat in this rather large (for a Vietnamese restaurant in Florida) location had been taken during our lunch visits. COMFORTING, FLAVORFUL FOOD Compared to the many other dishes tried, I was surprised my Bun Bo Hue was the least flavorful (especially since it’s supposed to be a spice overload). On the other hand, their meat-filled Pho was delicious-- a great harmony of many flavors. Same thing with their filled ‘noodle salad’ (with veggies, cut eggroll, marinated meat, splash of fish sauce). Nothing to complain about. DECENT SERVICE BUT GREAT FOR GROUPS Decent service because it’s a very Asian restaurant-- you know what I mean by that. However, it was strange because there were SO many servers during one visit. A good number of them were just standing around at times. Ah well, I’ll overlook that because the food was pretty good, and this is a great place for big groups of people.

Seating was fast and by table number. Within minutes we were given menus and offered water. We were a party of 4 and we all ordered different dishes. Food arrived quickly as ordered and it was delicious. When your finished it’s a self checkout you go to the counter give them your table number your able to review your tab on the screen place your credit card in the reader and finished. You sign your check and your given a copy. It’s a very popular location since it’s across the street from the main entrance of FIU. Amazing service and food.

I loved the taste of the broth. I also liked that they had 3 sizes: small, medium and large. The small was just perfect for lunch. Service was quick and efficient.

The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by the warm inviting smell of the broths cooking in the back to then be greeted with smiles from the staff. The food tastes authentic and am so excited we came here for lunch and will definitely be coming back. Also, the place was pristinely clean (tavles, floors, utensils, condiments rack) and that goes a long way in my book!

I ordered the Bun Bo Hue with pigs feet and pork blood. It was very good and fresh. I would reccomend you try it.
