The food was good of what I could eat , the Pho was pretty good. However I think it was the service that was probably good for others in there but not for me. First, I noticed the waiter was really nice & bubbly with the other patrons…. I didn’t get that treatment, the vibe was definitely not favoring my presence, weird like no eye contact, etc. I ordered my food, specifically the summer rolls with fish sauce. The menu didn’t specify what was in the rolls per se, but I assumed they were pork because I came a few years ago and they were pork rolls. When the rolls came out, I told the waiter that I’m allergic shrimp and that I couldn’t eat the roll…he looked up and stared into the window giving no eye contact- he definitely was pissed. I offered to pay for it anyway because I didn’t ask if it was pork or shrimp, and asked for a box. He left saying ok, but all of their rolls on the menu are shrimp. Which the menu, again, didn’t clarify but either way I offered to pay for it …. I didn’t understand why he was annoyed. I’ll go to the other billion pho spots around that have rolls with pork. Oh well Lol

We came to this place for a lunch at around 4 o’clock on the Sunday afternoon. Only one table was taken at that time by the other party which was good. The place looked clean. However, it was too warm inside, the conditioner was not running with the outside temperature at 75F. What struck us was the atmosphere in the restaurant. It wasn’t friendly, wasn’t warm, wasn’t homely. No, it wasn’t hostile, but it was like a strict meal time in the army barracks. Food, on the other hand, was good. For a family of three we had Summer Rolls as an appetizer, Chicken Pho (Pho Ga), Two Toppings Pho and Broken Rice with Grilled Chicken. We liked all our dishes ?. Only because of the strange atmosphere in the restaurant, we, probably, won’t go there again to dine in, however, because of the tasty food, would, probably, order a take out.

Best Pho in the area! The owners owned renowned Pho Xe Lua in Chinatown. You will not be disappointed. They have a variety of other Vietnamese food. Cheers!

WOW!!! Just wow! Under new ownership! Ordered the Deluxe Rice Vermicelli meal for takeout it everything is so fresh! The shrimp size was very large and everything was just perfect!! The portion was very large. I spoke with the new ownership, and their focus is quality, not numbers. And my goodness did they deliver! The place is very, very clean and excellently maintained now. New chef, new staff, new everything. This is the best Vietnamese place in the area now. It really shows how the ownership is dedicated to the customers. Don’t go anywhere else - we tried all the places around here! This place takes the #1 spot. Amazing, well beyond the rest of the places around here, and fresh/clean! Will review dine-in soon - but if takeout is this amazing, fine-in must be a grand slam! - this is an honest, real review.Vegetarian options: There are so many - just look. Amazing selection.Dietary restrictions: There is plenty of everything for each diet type.Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly and helpful to children - feels like home.Wheelchair accessibility: Very open and helpful to those on a wheelchair. Full accessibility, and the staff and new ownership is very attentive to every need.

Honestly this is one of the best pho places I’ve been to. My waiter was Jason and he was so kind. I got the chicken pho and it was great and it also had like a taste of clove in it which I’ve never tasted before but I liked it.They were playing classical music which was really calming and better than when it’s pop music. I will be back again.

New Owners and outstanding food and service! We always leave happy and satisfied. This our go-to restaurant in the area. Recommend Pho soups and traditional plates. The Deleux Bowl is great as are Tom Yum Pho and Ben Pho!

So, heard good things about this place from a friend, and we walk in and see the waiter from one of our favorite pho places in the city (Pho Xe Lua, "choo choo")! We've gone to Pho Xe Lua since the late 90s, and it has always been one of our favorite places to go, and it was such a trip to see the same waiter at this seemingly random pho place in Abington! In any case, we might have been biased with seeing our old waiter, but the pho was great! Broth was solid and had depth. Summer and spring rolls were clearly rolled to order and also solid! House fried rice also had a very familiar feel and taste, and we were very pleased. Looks like we found our new pho place close to home.

Thank you Pho Ben City. The service was wonderful and the food delicious. The vermicelli bowl was filling and very tasty. I didn’t even have to ask for more of the ‘special sauce’.. the host knew ?.Very attentive service.

The pho was incredible! The broth was unbelievably full of flavor, and I savored every bite. The portion is large, so you have some left over. I keep thinking about the broth from this place and I can't wait to go back!
