PHO HOUSE CAFE - VIETNAMESE NOODLE BAR

"I really like this place! I've been going here since they opened. (Sorry it took me so long to write a review!) It is my go to spot for Pho. Their pho broth is very tasty and flavorful. I end up not adding the additional sauces ( the sirachi and the sweet one) because the broth doesn't need it. The portion is good. I usually have leftover. The Vietnamese eggrolls are always fried right to order and are super hot. The 2 owners are wonderful! They always are friendly and I love how they always remind me to heat my broth before eating so I get the best taste. (I always get take out so the 10 min to my house, the soup has lost some heat) I've never eaten inside but the decor and ambiance is very inviting."

"One, if not, the best pho I’ve ever had. I have had my fair share of pho all over the place in different states. So, it is an honor to give this pho such a high praise as I am not someone who is easily pleased with food. At first, the prices were shocking, especially the one with oxtail in it. I ordered the one with oxtail. Right off the bat, when our pho came to our table, they looked incredible with the loaded chopped aromatic herbs (I think it was cilantro and green onions). The broth was incredible—-you can taste the quality and love that was put in. The oxtail was very tender as well. I also love that it wasn’t too sweet like others I’ve had. It tasted just clean and pure! I wish I could eat the entire bowl, but I could only eat half of it because of the enormous size! We were given a small side of chili sauce as well that complimented the pho very well, as we don’t like using sriracha and hoisin sauce in our broth. I personally feel that it overwhelms the delicate flavor of the broth. I wanted to know the brand so I can buy some, but the owner said he made it himself. Overall, I’d pay the price any day for a great, flavorful, savory pho. Looking forward to my next visit in NOLA so I can have a bowl of this amazing pho again! We had a great chat with the owner after our dinner, who spoke very highly and proudly of his method, as he should! Well done!"

"Really nice interior, the pho was good, the meat was super tender and delicious. A little pricey for the portion, but great spot for flavorful Pho."

"The pho broth was flavourful with top notch quality beef and oxtail. Service was good and the food came out fast. I'll definitely visit again!"

"We are in the area for Memorial weekend and saw the new pho place. I am quite surprised by the cost of a bowl of Phở. First of all, this restaurant has only 1 dish, which is phở with a variety of proteins. Second, Phở broth is a little dark and cloudy. Third, pho noodles are not fully cooked, I believe it is only 90% cook because i can not feel and taste the bouncy, little chewy of phở noodles. The noodles end up broken in small pieces when you start eating. Fourth, I ordered tái aka rare flank steak, and i thought this side meat should be separate but ended up in the bowl with fully cooked. The sad part is side vegetables (bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños and missing cilantro) their portions are pitiful. I can't justify the portion and the cost for 1 bowl of Phở."
