About Pho 888

Pho 888 is a beloved Vietnamese restaurant that has been a family favorite for over a decade. The menu boasts a variety of delectable dishes, including the fantastic grilled pork and egg roll bun, the revamped pork banh mi, and the pork/shrimp/egg roll bun, all praised for their authentic flavors. Customers often comment on the generous portion sizes, especially the Pho, which is packed with meat and noodles—so much so that some can't finish it. Many enjoy their spring rolls and egg rolls, noting that the spring rolls come with eight shrimp divided between two rolls, making them particularly large and satisfying. The atmosphere is very cool, with a menu that’s easy to read and offering many selections and options to choose from. While the Pho broth is good, some found the noodles a little hard, but overall the food is delicious. The chicken wings are crispy and juicy, and the papaya salad is also well-liked. The beef laab is good but almost tastes like Thai Issan laab, and some wish sticky rice was available to go with it. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and reasonable prices, which are often lower than other Pho spots around Des Moines. Parking is plentiful and close by. Although service can sometimes be understaffed, the staff's apologies and the overall enjoyable dining experience make Pho 888 a must-try for Asian food enthusiasts and lovers of Vietnamese cuisine.

The young woman here is such a vibe, love her down!!! She made our whole experience so fun and the food was sooo good. Many blessings to this place fr

Introduced to me by a friend. Traditional Thai food. I ordered Pho Tai, the broth, flavoring, on point! Good example of not judging the book by the cover. This is a must have.

Excellent pho! Fast service! I got the pho ga and it was hot and delicious! I always try to stop here for lunch or dinner when I drive through Des Moines
