They have the BEST pho that I've had anywhere in Florida, along with many other detectible Vietnamese selections. Their stir fry dishes are delicious, along with the noodle bowls and Pho egg rolls are a must try. We live 45 minutes north of Simply Pho, yet still make the drive several times per month. Their Vietnamese coffee is simply delicious. Clean, comfortable, atmosphere with a friendly staff. Food can sometimes take a little bit to get to the table if they are busy (depending on what you order), but it's entirely worth the wait.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and pho is one of the only soups that I am able to eat.
I come here once a week and every time it is absolutely perfect. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The food they create is consistent and delicious. If I could eat just the vegetable pho everyday, I would. This is a perfect restaurant for families and friends or even if you just need a lunch by yourself. I recommend this to everyone I know. If your looking for a good meal with incredible staff this is the place to come.Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian myself and this place does wonders for accommodations. They provide vegetable broth upon request and their vegetarian spring rolls are wonderful.

YUMMY DELICIOUS PHO !!! with super big serving sizes, it was a huge bowl !!! I went on a date with my gf for our anniversary, service was excellent ! They were very polite and the food came out quickly. We ordered crab rangoons to split between us, and they were really good ! I ordered vegetable pho with tofu added, and my gf ordered a vermicelli pork angel hair thing. I liked my yummy soup, and my gf said the angel hair pork was super good, except the noodles weren't as flavorful as this other place we frequent. We also shared a thai tea, it was sooo good (maybe a little too sweet for us personally, but it was still delicious). They played a slow instrumental version of Hotel California, it had me and my gf giggling a bit. The dining area is small and homely, with a pretty relaxing atmosphere. Overall really great place ! would come again, especially since the other place we usually go to is super far from my house and this is pretty much down the street from me.

The food is always very tasty and comes out fast! The portions are great and the food is very cheap. We always get the spring rolls as well and it fills me up! The service is always grabbing dishes that clutter and makes sure everyone has refills! The ambiance is always great for a night time dinner for cheap!

So good! I've been looking for a go-to pho restaurant since leaving the DC area. Attentive service. This is the spot, and it's tucked away so I'm hoping it won't get overrun. Great food. Overhead vents need a good cleaning, which cost them 1 star.

First time here & I have to say this Pho Ga was so FLAVORFUL. I also had the veggie spring rolls and they were so fresh (not pictured), and the peanut sauce it came with was delicious. Definitely will recommend!

Great staff. Wonderful Pho and Noodle dishes. Cant wait to go back again. If you love real Pho you will not be disappointed. If you haven't noticed two of the best Pho places in Tampa have been sold and new owners have come in. They are not the same. Come here if you miss the real stuff!!!

The Basics: Simply Pho is located in Carrollwood off of Dale Mabry. The food tastes fresh and the service was good. The restaurant is nice inside and there is plenty of room, so a wait is unlikely. Things I like: I enjoyed everything I ordered. The Vegetable Pho (I got it with beef broth) was very good and I particularly enjoyed the Vegetarian Spring Rolls. Things I didn't like: I enjoyed all items I had, but I do believe the Pho at Saigon Bay in Temple Terrace is more flavorful and I prefer it. Overall, a good spot for Vietnamese food in the Carrollwood area.

Stellar, will be back for sure! Wife and I shared the XL pho bowl which was perfect and large enough to share Thai tea on delightful and only $4 which is cheaper than other places around town Service was excellent and location had great vibes. Not sure what else you can ask for

My wife and I went to Simply Pho for lunch. My wife ordered the Pho that gives you three protein choices. She chose Eye Round, Flank Steak and Tripe. I ordered the Stir Fried Noodles with a choice of a protein. I was given noodle choices and opted for pan fried rice noodles (a $1.50 upcharge). I also chose Beef as my protein.My wife knows soup and knows Pho very well. She considered the soup flavor to be wonderful. The proteins were very tasty, though the tripe was sliced smaller than one would prefer. (This is the second time my wife ate here and noticed that.) Overall, the Pho was excellent.The Stir Fried Noodles, pan fried as I requested, were appropriately crispy but also softened well when I spooned the (ample) brown sauce on it. The vegetables were fresh and the beef was a good size and well- cooked and seasoned. This dish exceeded my expectations.The service was very good, balancing responsiveness with respect for privacy.The atmosphere is clean, contemporary and stylish, with instrumental music playing in the background.I will return again to Simply Pho and happily recommend it to anyone seeking Pho and/or Noodle/Rice-based fare.
