This is my favorite place to get Pho. They're quick, the food is delicious and the staff is always friendly. The price is affordable. This shop is always my first pick when I want comfort food. The broth is always perfect and the noodles are never soggy. I always recommend.

I would like to say I was served wonderful food here as always… but unfortunately the tall male host with the man bun turned us away and would “only take a to go order” even though there was over 30 mins before they closed for a meal break at 3pm. My spouse and I came in at 2:25pm today, Sunday to quickly come in and eat before leaving town for the day. We are regulars and are recognized by their usual staff every time we come in. We knew exactly what we wanted, could’ve placed our order while being sat at our table, and would’ve been done in plenty of time for them to close for their meal break. We have come in closer to their closing, and the regular staff have been willing and able to seat and serve us, and never made us feel like a burden.
It felt very embarrassing and disrespectful to be turned away and only willing to take a to go order from us, as there were other families watching the exchange. He made the impression that us and our business was a burden, saying “well by the time I get a table cleaned and you sit down and look over the menu”. The worst part of it all, is that after I left the restaurant, I sat in my car and watched the host sit other families down that walked in after us. This is unacceptable, and there was no reason behind it!! It felt deeply discriminatory and hurtful. This employee has served us in the past and they do not fit the role and atmosphere you want to maintain in your restaurant. Not welcoming or friendly whatsoever.
This interaction with your host left a horrible impression, and I will be avoiding coming to this restaurant if he is going to be working. This is our favorite Pho location around. We always tip well and spend good money at this restaurant. Very disappointed. Please find a new host, this person is causing you to lose business. This interaction was very unwelcoming which is unlike Simply Pho and their typical customer service and experience overall.

Picked an order to go the lady server was rude and didn’t want to give us “extra” condiments for our Pho she just kept saying it’s in bag, as I kept asking she just ignore. The younger server was kind and gave me what I was asking for. This isn’t the first time with the lady being rude. The food is good and the other servers are way nicer.

My curry came steaming hot with very cold potatoes that tasted like they had been cooked many days ago and had absorbed the taste and smell of the refrigerator or freezer. It was disturbingly bad. Also, the worst scallion pancakes I have ever had. Zero flavor and an odd texture. I complained twice about the potatoes (the temperature and taste) — at the table and again got up to tell the server they should absolutely be thrown out and not used for other dishes. So, I was surprised that when I returned back to the table from complaining, the server walked over and put the check for the whole table in front of me (as if for me to pay for everyone) and had not removed my curry that I had complained twice about. On top of that, the service was below average. Not a good experience. Will not be going back.

I’ve come here so many times and I love the consistency of the food. Great quality, good service, and the BROTH 😋🤤🤌🏻 need I say more? No, but I will. Cuz this place is 🔥 If you haven’t tried the Wings they are AMAZING. Crispy and perfectly cooked. I love the aromatics they top it with too. I’ve tried the Hong Kong noodle dish (crunchy noodles and sauce on top) and the Vermicelli noodle bowl and both are wonderful. My husband likes the classic Fried rice and crab puffs. This is also my toddlers favorite restaurant to go to. Her favorite food is Pho with beef balls. I like this place so much I asked for a gift card for Christmas haha! Hope you give it a try and like it as much as I do. You can tell they put their heart into their dishes.

I’ve had a great experience every time I go here. They’re consistent with their service. I asked for spicy steak Pho and they gave me chicken but it was still good. They put over a cup of shredded chicken in my Pho which is super generous compared to most shops. The Broth is not overly loaded with grease and it smells and tastes like fresh lemon grass. I paid less $15. The quality and portions speaks for itself. It’s a cute place for hangouts and the staff is always kind. 10/10

As someone who grew up in Asia, and spent most of his young adult life working in Asia, I was blown away by the quality and taste of the food at Simply Pho. Very authentic. I will be coming again.

Wow. I came to Salem for the evening. I was going to eat sushi until I saw this place. I'm glad I made the choice I did. I got the combo Pho. The broth is aromatic, the meats are all tender and delicious, and the amount of food is worth the very fair price! The noodles are perfect. It's so satisfying.
Eat there multiple times, they remembered what I ordered each time and even when the waitress got my order wrong the kitchen corrected it. I don't know if it's the owner or the manager, it's somebody's on their toes.

Service is quick, polite, and responsive. The pho is always delicious, and the price and portions are on point.

Pretty good noodles, ingredients and flavor was on the lighter side
