Delicious phở gà with an excellent broth, and the Thai tea was the perfect match. Never disappoints.

This place absolutely slaps. Portion sizes are great, taste is phenomenal, service is friendly, and the music taste is a vibe. I’ll certainly be returning.

I spent a whopping $38 on a Togo order, expecting 2 large orders of pho... 1 with no meat 1 with chicken….. However, the portion size I received was absolutely ridiculous for the price. There is no way I was given a large portion of anything when it was enough food to feed a 2 year old. I received three times more broth than anything else. I asked for extra onions and sauce, but they were nowhere to be found. There was barely a handful of noodles, one slice of jalapeño ,and a sprinkle of bean sprouts.

I called the store and complained about my order, but they told me that they portion everything out. I explained to the person that I’ve eaten at Pho 79 several times and I never received such a skimpy portion of pho. Then I was told that the kitchen was closed and that they could only give me a discount for my next visit.

I was so disappointed that I will never return to this location. It was a complete waste of almost $40. Save yourself the trouble and go to the Hampton location !!!!

Very racist establishment. I walked in and the man at the front immediately moved the tip jar. Like what the hell?! Do not come here if you are black!

Please stop using fabuloso cleaner in your restaurant. It's overwhelmingly strong and it stinks so bad that we cannot come to your restaurant anymore. Not to mention this place has the worst service of any restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. My recommendation is to close the business down. The staff is horrible.

Been here 2x already and both times the food came out fast and service was great. Food is delicious and super filling. I get the pho with the brisket in it and it's so bomb

We’ve been visiting this place for 17 years. A month ago, we went to eat dinner and arrived 8:30 PM. We sat on a table and waiting for server. This girl came to our table and told us they don’t serve dinner anymore and only to go ‘coz it’s already 8:30 PM. Their sign at the door shows closed at 9PM. What the hell they are not serving dinner when it’s within their open hours. They should put a notice at their door. This made me furious . It’s not right. This store has ZERO SERVICE. BAD PLACE!

Best fried spring rolls in the area. Vermicelli noodles with pork, chicken, and beef is on point.

This has been the absolute worst experience I have ever had in any restaurant. As we walked into the establishment you are confronted with a sign on the door saying they are increasing their prices. We entered and they just said to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. One of the employees came over and asked what we wanted to drink and we ordered water and 3 boba teas. They did let us know they were out of one of the flavors and we changed our order, when the drinks arrived they got the whole order messed up. The most senior member of their staff brought the drinks and acted as if she was put out to even have to deal with guests at the restaurant. She then informed us that the other flavors we ordered were out of stock and asked what we wanted. It took 15 to 30 minutes for them to take our order and then another 20 minutes to get our appetizers. At that time we asked for some napkins and they said they ran out and offered some togo silverware that had a flimsy little napkin. After another 20 minutes half of the table got their food and none of the sides that came with the soups. Then we waited another 20 to 30 minutes for anyone to bring the rest of the meals and we had to ask for the sides for the soup. By the time we got the sides the soup was already cold, and caused a poor dining experience. Then when they came to refill our drinks they spilled the water on the table and I had to use my sad excuse of a napkin to clean their mess. After the meal was finished, I went to use the bathroom to wash my hands and they had the audacity to ask the guests to wash their hands for the safety of the employees. While I was waiting to use the restroom, the most senior employee came out of the women's restroom and I wanted to ask if it was a health violation to not have something for the guests to use to wipe their hands off during dinner. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and they were having a bad day. After washing my hands they were out of paper towels and I approached them at the counter and they said they didn't have any and they said they could give me another little togo packet and I was beyond angry. Let's just say that I am so disappointed with the whole experience and I would suggest that nobody put themselves through this excuse of a restaurant and their staff.

I just got done eating at Pho 79. This will most likely be my last time. I usually dine here twice a month. The food is generally good and service is ok. But today's servers were just extremely apathetic and rude. As soon as I walked in the server just had a sour expression and just had a bad attitude. I get it maybe she was having a bad day and I am not the type of customer that needs to be attended to at all times. But maybe a little hi or hello would've been nice. After the food was delivered, the servers never checked on me once to see if I needed anything else. After waiting at least 20 minutes or so after eating, I went up to the counter to pay and asked for a to go box. She begrudgingly got the box and when I asked for a plastic bag to go with it, she acted like I asked for the moon or her first born child. And the looks she gave were just hostile. Yeah, like I said the food is good but nothing to write home about. But the service is just horrible!

******CUSTOMER BEWARE*******
Disgusting food, do NOT eat here. I ordered food to go yesterday. The shrimp was so hard and burnt. It looked liked it was days old food. The salad was horrible tasted like it was soaked in disinfectant. My spouse was sick all evening after eating this trash. The eggrolls were burnt, nothing was fresh. The lady taking the order over the phone was rude, that should have been a sign not to purchase their disgusting food. $50 dollars for two lemon grass shrimp and eggrolls. Horrible Horrible Horrible. Do not waste your money on this trash!!! They should be ashamed!

Poor service, small portions. Minature eggrolls, 2 oz meat for $10 kids meal. Not worth it. Server doeant write anything so had to repeat order several times. Never came back to table after getting order. Didnt tell us where to check out. Theres way better Vietnamese in NN thats not run by kids.
