First & foremost .. i called 10 minute before closing asking if i can dine in which was selfish of me i will admit because who really wants to stay over time ..but i was HUNGRY! & the gal had no problem at all she said sure come on in ... the pho was great! A lot of flavor ! The lumpia's were crispy without being greasy! & the spring rolls were also great .. first time here & WONT BE THE LAST .. & im always down to support a new local family business ..

PPAG, please change my mind..... I wanted to like this but honestly just needs a little more attention to detail. The younger waitress was very kind but the other lady, older was interrupting me from conversation about my tab and my feelings about the food. The older lady was complaining on how my waitress, the younger one. Did not ring up a few dishes the group had ordered. Rather than doing things herself she ends up ridicule my waitress. Whom by the way was the sister of the chefs. Anyways. Change my mind, so much potential in an amazing location! I'll see you all soon!

Definitely not for me. Went in today 10mi. I was craving for some phõ and this place was rarely close to me. After it opened thinking I'd beat the lunch traffic. However, my food still took 20min to be ready and this was for a take out. Menu is very limited that I had to opt for an all combo phõ over the seafood one. When I got home, my flank was all cooked (drive was less than 10min). Limited basil too. My spring rolls weren't even rolled up tight they disassembled when I tried to take a bite. Ate my food because I was hungry, but really not liking it.

We went for dinner on a Wednesday, early evening. First time here, so I didn't know what to expect. The place was not very clean, the waitress was very sweet. The menu had very few items on it and really, the only thing I wanted was chicken pho. They only had seafood and beef pho. I decided on Pad Thai and my husband had bacon fried rice. The bacon fried rice was ok. The Pad Thai was not tasty at all, but I was so hungry, I ate it. The menu was severely lacking in choices so we will not be returning.

My friends and I had dinner here five days ago after we played cards at the casino next door. I reviewed this restaurant before on Yelp and even posted pictures of our dinner but somehow Yelp deleted my original 5 Star review. I give this place five stars overall due to the food being so deliciously good and cheap, restaurant itself is so nice as well as the server. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. We will eat here again soon!

I ordered the pork chop with rice today and it was really good and fulfilling! I eat here whenever I pass through town. Tasted almost everything on their small menu and so far all delicious. Growing up eating Asian food at home all my life. I should know the difference of what authentic Asian cooking is. Their pho soup, rice plates and skewers are cooked to perfection just like my family's cooking, very tasty! This place is nice and clean with inexpensive menu prices. The server is kind and friendly too. People should just stick to whatever they are used to eating before giving a bad review. Lol.

Amazing service and food was delicious. Plus they had the game on their TV which helps.

My son and I ate here about a month ago and we can't wait to visit again! I see they've added more items to the menu-SILOGS!! Last time we had the BBQ Chicken Skewers, Shrimp Spring Rolls, Seafood Pho, Beef Pho, and Mocha smoothies. Everything that we ordered was so delicious that we ended up ordering more food to go lol! Took home some Pad Thai, Papa Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, and a lot more BBQ Skewers. Let's just say the rest of the fam was very happy with their late night treat. They devoured everything! I swear Starvin like Marvin lol! If you're in the area I highly recommend this new spot. The place is clean, the service is great, and the food is the bomb! The BBQ Chicken Skewers is one of my favorites. Whatever is in that marinade, I just can't get enough of! Another one you gotta try is the Mocha with Oreo smoothie. Just goes so well together... Their portions here are huge too, totally opposite from their prices. Ain't no skimpin on the ingredients here. Just count the Shrimp in my soup! Alota bang for your buck for sure! We'll be back soon. Hopefully with the whole fam this time out so we can share more things on the menu. Gonna order some of them Pinoy breakfast plates along with my favorite chicken!

I went here 2 times already here at Papa Pho and Grill with my husband and daughter. The first time was when we celebrated my daughters 6th month couple of weeks ago and the 2nd time was yesterday. Me and husband went here again knowing that the food is very good and gives generous amount for its cheap price. We got our order within 15 minutes which is not too bad. The pad thai is really good. The pho soup is very tasty and delicious. I love their thai tea which is my favorite drink. The place itself is really nice and welcoming. This is one of the spacious restaurant I've been to. The server is friendly and attentive. She served us well that's why we left a good amount of tip. I uploaded photos of what we ordered. We will definitely come back.

I loved this placed! Service was great, the girl helping us was super kind! They didn't have much variety of Pho but we really enjoyed it here for our first time. The fried rice was really good as well. We will definitely come back.

This was my first visit to this area, I have also never tried Pho before. My boyfriend and I were hungry at 8:30 and didn't see anything good open until we stumbled across Papa Pho and Grill. We ordered one chicken skewer, one order of the mini Lumpia, an order of papa's pho, and a full order of bacon fried rice. First off I'll start with how phenomenal their packaging is. We ordered to go; they had air vents for all the food, the pho was inside a plastic bag inside the grocery bag they usually give which was awesome so it wouldn't spill all over the place. They gave us plenty of spoons and forks as well as sauce packets. The chicken skewer was so tender and juicy and you can def. tell they marinade and the flavor is so full and there. The lumpia tasted so authentic and fresh as well as the chili sauce it comes with (they give a full cup of sauce too) The bacon fried rice was quite possibly the best fried rice we have ever tasted, it has the right amount of bacon and the flavor is throughout the dish, well be coming back for this. The pho, having never tried pho we were skeptical. They supplied us with a baggie filled with various beef and onion, cilantro, mint, sprouts, noodles, jalapeño slices and a lime. We added all of these into the soup and waited a few minutes to let it all settle. Pho is absolutely amazing and so filling. Such a cute little spot and such good prices for the quality of food provided. Thanks guys!
