Simply Pho and Bubble Tea Bar 476534 U.S. 95, Ponderay, ID 83852

"We chose this restaurant because it is fairly new and we really like Pho. We were shocked at the portion size for the price, lack of steak and brisket, and couldn’t tell the meat apart. I will end on a good note; I try and give positive feedback as well as constructive. The staff is friendly and the flavor of the Pho overall was good. I probably won’t be back but I do hope them success. I do understand cost of their products in order to make money. This can be very profitable, however, profit won’t be what it could be if prices were reasonable for the average household means."

"We picked this place because of the reviews, but we’re disappointed with the quality. I ordered chicken pho and there was barely any chicken, and it tasted and looked gray. For $18 I was expected a decent sized amount of meat. The broth flavor was great but the chicken really bummed us out."

"WOW! This is seriously the best Phó you’re going to get in Idaho! I had a Pork Bao bun, Fresh Rolls, The Castaway Bubble Tea & a large bowl of Veggie Phó. Everything tasted homemade, very fresh, & SO deliciously satisfying! The broth is so soothing, with beautiful flavor. I also LOVED the homemade chili oil!! The atmosphere is great; funky music, fun artwork, & top-notch customer service. I was very impressed by the friendliness & passion from the owners involvement in every aspect of their business. Definitely making more trips out of town for some Simply Pho. ❤️"

"As others have said, the broth needs work. Virtually flavorless, you’ll need to add quite a bit of the sauces to get a decent taste. Additionally the bowls cost around $3-4 more than your average bowl of pho and are a bit smaller. The meat was not great, but not as bad as others have said. All veggies tasted fresh. The service itself was fine, all employees were kind and helpful. As it’s a new business, I don’t want to be too harsh. However there’s plenty of room for improvement and I hope they find their stride soon enough."
