This is my first time to write reviews for this restaurant. It's a lot smaller than other restaurants in area. However, tables were clean and super friendly staff. My wife who ordered the Pho đặc biệt and she said it was delicious and the flavor just about right. However, my son who ordered the Bún bò Huế, according to him, the broth needs to have little more Mắm tôm, then that would make it perfect like homemade. I ordered #98 and the meat was perfect marinade, soft and tender. However, the fish sauce needs a reduce the salt a little bit. We would love to come back and try their other dishes near future.

I was planning on where to eat lunch prior to the Lunar New Year celebration event on Argyle Street, and randomly discovered this Vietnamese place. It's right on Argyle St in the Lunar New Year parade's marching direction. The waiter kindly allowed me to change my table to the one closest to the street where I could watch the event while I was there eating lunch:) I got one of the Broken Rice dishes called "Com Tam Loan Dac Biet 7 Mon". It's an assorted platter with 7 food items. I'm not sure why it's called broken rice, as the white rice tasted no different. Other than that I really enjoyed this dish. I like to have bite size of everything. The grilled pork chop was especially flavorful and juicy. The soup was complimentary which was also good. Loved the delicious Asian sausage too! The downside of this restaurant is that it's quite small. It's pretty packed on the Saturday noon I was there. However the waiters were efficient, I was able to be quickly seated and I didn't wait too long before my food was served. I recommend this great place if you want to visit somewhere similar to Chinatown! This is one of the many Asian restaurants in the area. The area is full of Asian culture so I guess that's why the Lunar New Year celebration was held. It's also very close (within walking distance) to the Red Line train station.

3.5/5 The waiter was very hospitable, which was the best part of the time. I got a pho and summer rolls. The rolls were okay - I think there was a disproportionate amount of noodles which made it taste rather starchy. The pho was also okay - the broth was clear which was nice but the flavor was not as deep. Honestly I appreciated the vibe and the hospitality, while the food was not as good as some other places. Would still recommend though!

Great value pho. About $16 (17+ after tax) they even have beef bone inside! However I like pho 777 better…

Food was good, service was fast. Forgot to take pictures before eating. I got a fish dish , broken rice with shrimp patty wrapped in fried bean curd. I would come back again if I’m in the area.
Crab and snail noodle soup is very delicious . the food is very similar to the taste in vietnam

There are a million Vietnamese places in Argyle but Pho Loan is our default place to go. Not because of pho - we actually found most pho in the rea amazing and couldn't tell much of the difference. The thing you should really order here is anything with a *charcoal-grilled pork chop*. Their perfectly marinated and grilled pork chop is the best we've had so far - sweet, moist, flavorful. They also have a bunch of interesting appetizers like the crispy mini pancake with shrimp and the rice rolls - not every Vietnamese restaurant offers thisSo, don't just order pho whenever you get Vietnamese food!ps: I do have to say that they seem to only offer bottled water (50c each I think) which is a bit strange. But not gonna stop me for getting those pork chops

Best pho I have had in a while! I got the House Special and it gives you everything you want with delicious broth. There was a good amount of flank, brisket, tendon, meatballs, and tripe, with a good helping of noodles too. It's exactly what you want it to be while under $20.I highly recommend this spot and it's super convenient to take the Red Line there.
Good show
