Pho Licious,

1987 Ringling Boulevard, Sarasota, FL 34236

"Was in the mood for Pho Cali but they don't belong to any delivery services. Tried Pho-Licious instead via UberEats & so glad I did! It arrived quickly, hot, and so fresh. I had the vermicelli platter with lemongrass beef, shrimp, and chicken. Comes with bean sprouts, mint, scallion, lettuce, carrots, chili oil, peanuts, & that vinegar-y juice (cannot find what it's called!) I mixed it all together and it was phenomenal. I've seen reviews about the lack of meat, but this dish definitely didn't lack any. I had a piece of meat in every bite. I also ordered a side of broth just in case I wanted to make a bit of "pho". I could only eat half of the platter but did have some sips of the broth after and it is also excellent. Great flavor profiles. The platter is in the $20 range but can absolutely be shared with 1 or even 2 more people! I will certainly be back! Stole the picture from Yelp as I was starving and dug right in!"

"Excellent pho, tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. The beef broth seems high quality with ginger and cinnamon notes, plenty of sprouts, jalapenos, and basil on the side, and the beef itself was delicious. Iced coffee was quite strong, as I hoped. Owner was very nice to chase me down to return my card which I forgot after paying! Will definitely return!!"

"The pho was a solid 4 stars. I’ve had better tasting beef broth but it wasn’t bad. I appreciated the ginger and cinnamon accents but it was missing a certain depth. At almost $17/w tax for the large bowl, it was slightly overpriced but I would come back."

"A decent Vietnamese restaurant. We’re attending the Sarasota Open and want a quick lunch between tennis matches. The lemongrass beef is very sweet. The rare steak noodles is ok but on the sweet side, and the beef is well done. Sticky floor."
