Food was scrumptious. Waited for a table on a busy Friday night, out of alot of beverage options, slow service.
Loud atmosphere, ample parking.

The food was good. Both my husband and I liked what we got. I got a PHO bowl with chicken soup and sliced pork and my husband got a vegetable PHO bowl. The tea was really good. The server was pleasant and the service was good. If you like Vietnamese soups and meats, it's a decent place to eat.

Pho is so delicious, we visit every now and again and it's so worth it.
I knocked off a star because the most recent time we went, the broth seemed watery or lacking in depth. It definitely was not what we were used to when eating at this awesome restaurant. The next visit will tell all.

Vegetarian options: An entire menu section for vegetarian options

Parking: The shopping commons where PHO is located has parking in front, sides and rear.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps to access the raised curb PHO sits on.

This place does not open on time! Please change your hours! Do not mislead your customers by saying you open at 11:00AM, but you don’t! I’m extremely disappointed!!!!

My husband & I love pho. Finding the right broth is always key! Pho 79 has some of the best broth I've tasted. I ordered the shrimp & pork dumplings. 10/10 recommend!

Really great pho. I have had ones with more meat in it, but it wasn’t skimpy. But the flavor was one of my favorites. The egg rolls were very nice and fresh. I was having a slow solo lunch and there were very few guests so I felt comfortable not rushing, I always feel so awkward when places bring me the check without me asking for it or asking if there’s anything else I like (sometimes I order a to go something for my kids/family) especially if it’s not busy or close to closing. I was going to order a boba to go for the drive home, but needless to say that didn’t happen. Bathrooms and restrooms were clean and I spotted they serve sour monkey!

My food was disgusting and I won’t be back. This was waste of money. No flavor and extremely oily.

I enjoy the guy that works here. He pay attention and he remembers our order with no mistakes. He listens unlike the women servers..whom often get the details wrong like when you ordered a large instead if small bowl. Knowing ingredients in the kitchen/ dishes and etc.

The smell of whatever they use to mop the floor or freshener is overwhelming. Don't get me wrong I like the smell of clean, but when its over the top it over comes the food taste. Looks like the meat in the soup is hard to find, inflation is hard, but if prices go up at leSt don't cut the ingredients.

Vegetarian options: All dishes have a vegetarian option, and those that don't can be modified to fit a vegetarian lifestyle

Parking: It is often hard to find parking right in front of the building since the street is short. But there is a big mall parking lot within 1 min on foot.

Alert Notification

There was an annoying high-pitched buzz the entire time I was there. It was super aggravating.I still wanted to stay because I know the food at the Hampton Pho 79 location is great. I order the spring rolls ($5) and the small Pho with brisket ($14). The spring rolls were poorly rolled and seemed kind of empty. Plus there are only 2, so it wasn't even enough food to be considered an appetizer.The Pho (#4) came with 2 pieces of brisket, which was very dissapointing. The noodles were still clumped when it came out, like the chefs couldnt bother to stir it a bit before serving. The flavor was less intense and complex than the other Pho 79 location. At least the noodles were a decent texture.It also seems like kids and teens are working as servers. It made me a bit uncomfortable and wonder whether health and service standards and rules were taken seriously at this location.I'll probably stick to the Hampton location of Pho 79, where I've had no problems whatsoever.
