Visiting the area from out of state and landed on Pho 1 Bowl for Vietnamese food. The restaurant was easy to find, being right off of a major street nestled inside a fairly large plaza. There was plenty of parking available but the area did seem a little run down. Upon walking in, there was no one inside the restaurant but the employees. There wasn't a pho aroma like most Vietnamese restaurants I'm used to, but towards the back of the restaurant (near restrooms) you could get a whiff of the traditional spices used. Our server switched a few times and we ended up with a gentleman who was very fun and felt like distant family. The menu was sufficient and really narrowed down with a lot of mark outs. What really surprised me was a Vietnamese delicacy that I don't see in my home state - oc len xao dau (mud creepers in coconut milk). We ordered that, combination pho, and bun bo hue. The food overall was slightly bland, but to us that's fine because we would prefer bland over salty. The bun bo hue was good and tasted even better after I added some chili paste. The pho was lacking in taste and had a strong cinnamon aroma, but was decent. The mud creepers were ok as well, tasting average. Prices are reasonable, with the average being around $10-13 for a dish. Overall, I was underwhelmed with everything, but they are good people serving traditional food they love. I don't know what else is available in the area, but I would check out Pho 1 Bowl again just for the one man who served us (seemed like the owner possibly). Thank you sir for your hospitality during our dinner!

Passed by while driving and decided to stop by for lunch. Ordered the Pork Chop over rice and it was very tasty (fried egg on top = ). Decor is simple and open and everything was very, very clean. If I'm ever in the area and have a hankering for Vietnamese food, will definitely stop by again. By the way. The chili oil is super spicy! Great for spicy food lovers

Stopped by to give this place a try, first impression was not bad, it looked clean, however the table top we sat at and the menus smelled as if they had been cleaned with a dirty mop, so we moved to a different table. I ordered the Pho special, it was OK, i have had better, the items are a little overpriced, the waitress was sweet and very welcoming. Overall was not bad but i don't think I will be back.
Rude owner and bad customer service. My family has visited many times since they opened for dine in as well as take out and has spent plenty of money here. We recently purchased a Local Flavor deal that is supposed to be good until 2020 but were told the restaurant is not accepting them anymore. Restaurant also refuses to post any kind of notice on the door so that future customers may be aware and complains about previous customers that shared the same experience. We will definitely not be returning.

Don't waste your money or time, the food is overpriced and not tasty. They have dozens of tables and more than ninety percent are empty. Nothing is authentic here, make your ramen at home and save yourself the aggravation.

The food wasn’t good as the other Vietnamese restaurant couple miles away, that’s not the point, the point is they didn’t honor the coupon we bought at local flavor, no sign showed they stop the local flavor, and the website still showing them available to purchase, and my coupon expiration date is 10/31/2020, just be aware that if you purchased or going to purchase this restaurant coupon, don’t go and we didn’t enjoy it anyway! Apparently the owner didn’t care about their business!

Food was horrible. I ordered the pho and the broth was too sweet. The meat wasn't tender. I dont think they even simmered their broth. The porkchops my husband ordered had a sour taste to it. They advertised on groupon and didnt honor the coupon I bought on there. Ir was alot more expensive than any other pho places here in south florida.
Nice staff pho was good
