We dined in today and the food very good on the other hand the waiter we had not so much. She got my order wrong and once I said that to the second waiter he then apologized and said he’d fix it. After that one person who didn’t order food said “if you’re going to throw that away i’ll take it” he then gave it to her, she charged the girl for it even thought the pho bowl was full. After that she threw the checks on our table and passive aggressively said “there bye”. Very unprofessional and honestly disgusting. Handle that’s thank you.(THIS IS HER FACE)

Have been here a few times, and the atmosphere is cool and menu is great. However, service is considerably slow and my pho has come out lukewarm multiple occasions. Not worth it for the price given other options in the city

Pho Lucus is amazing! I love the people that work here. They are so amazing and welcoming. Ella is my absolute favorite! And the food and drink is 100/10. Would definitely recommend.

Good bahn mi. Very tasty in a fresh roll. Disappointed they don't offer grilled beef over rice, but the sandwich was good.

I tried Pho Lucas once months ago and was disappointed by the very bland chicken pho. The broth literally had no flavor. I decided to give it another try last night as I was told the beef pho is better. We ordered spring rolls and the beef pho for pick up. For the price, none of it was worth it.
Their “regular” size, which I order very often at other pho establishments, should be labeled a small. I have never had such little amounts of meat nor noodles. I always, and I mean always, split my pho in half and save the other half for the following day as the portions are typically big. However, the entire portion from Pho Lucas was half the size of other phos I’ve gotten at other places. The noodles fit in the palm of my hand and there was only 2 pieces of brisket and 2 tiny pieces of rare eye round. The taste of the broth was just okay.
I love fresh spring rolls and we ordered 4 so we could each have 2. It only came with 1 container of peanut sauce, you have to pay for extra even though you are already paying for more spring rolls. I didn’t even eat my second one. The spring rolls were either poorly wrapped or they skimped on the rice paper because when we opened the lid, the center of the roll was busted open. Not to mention they were massively packed with mostly lettuce with one thin slice of meat and 1 single shrimp that was thinly sliced. Again, I’ve never had spring rolls with that much lettuce (the cheapest ingredient). The peanut sauce had some spicy sauce added to it (not mentioned on the menu) which took away from the peanut flavor I love so much.
Overall, it’s not worth the hype in my opinion. And definitely does not deliver on authentic tasting pho. I’m not sure if this is an American take on pho or some type of fusion but just wasn’t what we were looking for.

The quality of ingredients is amazing. This restaurant is worth the drive, the cost, the sometimes difficult parking. Amazing food and people.

I wasn’t incredibly impressed with the pho. I’ve had better. It took forever for lunch too with only a couple of tables taken at the time.

We have fantastic Vietnamese food in the RVA area. If Pho Luca hasn’t been on your list yet get your hind parts there asap! Great flavors and what a great experience with staff and service. Busy? Yes. A bit of a wait on food? Just a bit. Polite, attentive and warm friendly service? Absolutely! Good times and I’ll be back!
I enjoyed lunch here with my fiancée yesterday. It was really busy, but the food was delicious and well priced. The owner stopped by our table and said thank you for coming in and that was very sweet of him. We will definitely be back!

The food is great besides not getting what I paid for.. paid over $30 for combination beef and only received one type of meat and nothing extra at that! The place was closed to report by time I got home to see the betrayal.

Went on a Friday night and was told we could have a seat soon by Henry even though it was a busy night. He was very friendly and attentive, and the pho was spectacular! My friends and I loved our dishes and we had an amazing experience dining here!
