The prices were insane. Banh mi sandwich was $17!!! Actually blew my mind. The standard pho was very average and cost $20.
It’s a shame that cultural foods have taken advantage of stupid white people and upcharge like crazy. Pho and banh mi are clearly originally cheap foods. The pricing here in suburban Connecticut is highway robbery though.
I paid more for a sandwich and soup than I would for all you can eat sushi which I think is a way better value.
The owner seemed like nice people, but their prices are insane, especially considering the location was nowhere fancy or expensive. Highway robbery is unfortunately the only way I could describe this, and I’m amazed this place has 5 stars

The Banh Mi sandwiches at Pho 99 were incredibly disappointing. I’m not sure how they can even be called Banh Mi. The meats were drenched in an unidentifiable sauce, and instead of being served with the typical pickled vegetables inside, the vegetables were handed separately and weren’t even pickled. The meats weren’t marinated and consisted of pulled beef and ground pork—nothing close to the traditional sliced grilled/cold cuts. I paid $32 for two sandwiches, thinking they’d be substantial, but the quality was so poor I could barely finish one and threw the other away. Pho 99 should seriously reconsider keeping this item on the menu.

The only menu I can find online is on yelp and if those are your prices that's crazy. Never pay $17 for a typical Banh mi sandwich

Vegan options are limited to the fresh roll and the veg pho, but both are delicious and high-quality.  The fresh roll contains very large, generous portion of grilled tofu. The pho contains tofu, rice noodles, vegetables and veg broth. Fast friendly service.

Great phở, one of the very best around, and we’ve had it from a bunch of places. The oxtail phở they serve has about triple the amount of oxtail that you’ll find anywhere, if not more!
Ordered two soup. One oxtail and one beef to go. Was charged $59 dollars. Overpriced for the amount you get. It is not worth it. My fiance and I love this place but we feel as though they decided what they want to charge at times and not what is listed.

I miss my neighborhood Pho spot. I've heard a lot about this one, which is not too far away. It did not disappoint, the food is really good, The shrimp roll and the egg roll were really good and the Pho was great. The service was fast and friendly, and the place was nicely decorated and clean.

I went there yesterday for lunch December 23, 2024 between 1:45 pm to 2:00 pm. I ordered 1 medium beef pho and 1 order shrimp spring roll in a worth of $20 not bad.
At the same day I went back with my wife for a dinner around 6:50 to 7 pm, we ordered 2 beef pho medium sized, 2 shrimp fried rice to go, 1 can soda and 1 hot tea. Shocking price $91, more expensive than Red Lobster.
Food is good but prices are high.
Vegetarian options: You can tell them, but the broth I won’t guarantee if they vegetables broth.
Parking: Over priced

I stopped by this cozy pho spot for lunch, and I’m so glad I did! The service was incredibly fast, perfect for a quick midday meal. I ordered the beef pho, and it was absolutely delicious—packed with rich, flavorful broth, perfectly tender beef, and fresh herbs and toppings. The portion was generous, and every bite was comforting and satisfying. The staff were welcoming and efficient.

I've eaten here several times over a few years and last night was my last ever. I got FOOD POISONING! Within 30-40mins I felt off and my stomach was In a knot. Got home and ran to the bathroom and been puking out of both ends for 8hrs and feel like I'm gonna die. I can't even keep a tea spoon of water down. Staff is polite but cleanliness is an issue now. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE BACK.

As a Vietnamese American, people calling this place authentic is an absolute shame. We spent $100 on 4 dishes. Two com dishes, one salmon goi coun, and one beef pho-- along with 2 Vietnamese coffees, which were probably the only tolerable thing we consumed. We are not complaining about the price, it's the fact that the food is absolutely horrendous AND pricey. The chicken was incredibly dry and not marinated. The beef pho is surprisingly terrible. The meat had a strange texture. The salmon goi coun was tiny for it's price. At the end of the day, regardless of price, the food should have been at least mediocre, not abhorrent. Please, if you are in this area in search of vietnamese cuisine, I recommend Pho Ly in Vernon. It's 9 minutes away and the food is a hundred times better for a fraction of the price. However, the atmosphere in Pho 99 is very good and reminded me of the motherland and the service is wonderful. The workers are very kind.
