Pho Yum at Empire State Plaza

This was a pleasant first experience. I am used to West Coast Phó restaurants so a bit of a let down to my expectations, however, the service was friendly, prompt and eager to please. The fried springrolls were handmade and not frozen so bonus points for that. All the condiments were a bit sparse and additional cost so that was new to me. I would return. No real ambiance to speak of, but it kind of looked like this business is mostly carryout.

Today I had Amethyst bubble tea at this place and it was worst bubble tea that I must have had ever.. They charged $6.48 for 3/4th of glass of bubble tea which she was making it by just mixing half and half and some milk and taro flavor and some boba.
When I asked her she said this is how it is since I asked for no ice she gave me just 3/4th which was tasting bad... service is very slow.. I would never recommend bubble tea from here..

Actually ate here in March of 2019 but Trip Advisor's drop down reviewer menu, on the date of my doing this review, only allows back to May 2019. For full disclosure, we have eaten pho in many cities across the USA, including Houston, TX where there is a huge Vietnamese population and a correspondingly large number of quality pho restaurants, and this place is by far the most expensive pho restaurant in which we have eaten. The prices for the pho were between 25% to 50% higher than we have paid elsewhere for the same pho combinations. At the time we ate here, this restaurant charged for the broth and noodles and then charged separately for each meat or vegetable added to the pho. Every other pho restaurant that we have eaten in, both before and since we've eaten here, has a set price for certain specific combinations of broth, pho noodles and proteins. Did not like this a la carte pricing method. In fairness, since this review is being done 13 months after weve eaten here, maybe the owners have changed this pricing method. Plus, at the time we ate here, the pho we had was only fair to middling in terms of taste. Maybe that too has improved in the intervening time. Anyway, at the time we ate here, it was a huge disappointment.

The Pho is quite good. We ordered a few side dishes and some bubble tea and those were so-so. We would definitely return for the Pho, however.

Stopped by for a late lunch before heading home 2 hours away. In a strip mall very clean ordered shrimp spring rolls & sauce yummy. Also ordered Pho 3 combo Excellent ! Could not finish & took a large portion to go. The best Pho I have enjoyed in a long time.

Good and very tasty food, good staff, bit far from the city and hard to reach during traffic hours, but still good! Recommendation!

Wonderful pho. Super tasty broth. Wonderful lunch.

Good food.

Delicious, quick and easy. I like the beef pho with fish sauce and extra sriracha. Yummm!

The soup here was really good. Service was friendly and helpful.

Not as good as in Toronto, Canada. Price and quality wise.
