Pho Anh Dao 775 U.S. 1, Edison, NJ 08817

"We had extremely high expectations as this restaurant was highly suggested by a family friend, however, it fell short. The place is in a strip mall, but once inside it was very welcoming and clean. It had a good vibe and we were excited. Started off with Goi Cuon and Nem Cuon as our appetizers which were fresh, vibrant and had a great peanut/soy dipping sauce that exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the meal. We had Thai tea which was very good as well. Now to the main course, we both ordered Pho based solely on the recommendation, both of us were so disappointed, so much so that we didn’t even take home any of the leftovers, a 1st in long time. The Pho Xe Lua had “well done brisket”, little did I know it meant the toughest meat which was absolutely devoid of flavor, its as if they cooked it to total dryness then boiled every scintilla of flavor from that piece of meat, not a pleasant piece of meat to say the least. The broth was less than average, my own stock would blow this away. The other Pho was Pho Tai that also had a lack of flavor in its broth. Thank goodness for the hot chili sauce and jalapenos on the table to make it a bit more palatable and the copious amount of basil to get some flavor. Very disappointing meal, maybe it was just a bad day, I will never know however. Lastly, the service was great and friendly."

"This pho took me by surprise! Rich bold flavors crisp veggies so glad I gave this place a second chance. If you're in the area stop by!"

"Pictured: Papaya salad with beef jerky, wings with tamarind sauce, P5 pho with brisket, S1 spice beef soup. Papaya salad is very delicious and the portion is very generous. The tamarind sauce on the wings was very unique and tasty (crispy wings of course). The P5 broth left a little to be desired. The S1 was perfect, meaty, and spicy."

"Great service for creating family memories. We dined in and the staff went above and beyond to make our gathering so special. We enjoyed every minute of it and the staff were very accommodating. The food was fresh and delicious."

"5 star for switching from the bland Sriracha to the more flavorful Chin-su chili sauce. Make sure to bring your own water bottle because it will take a little effort to get your water refill. They will only come back when you’re ready to pay. Ask for extra napkins when ordering or the one napkin on the table is all you get. The Pho Dac Biet was very bland. You will be using all the sauces on the table to adjust the taste. There was only a small 1cm cube of tendon in the bowl. The included meat portion was little compared to other pho place."
