Pho Viet 1 isn’t your run-of-the-mill pho joint. We went all in on the Hu Tieu Do Bien (seafood noodle soup) and Hu Tieu Kho (dry noodle bowl), and wow — both hit the table looking as good as they tasted. Fresh shrimp, squid, beef, and crispy toppings layered over chewy noodles, with a side broth that was bright and fragrant. Every bite had that “I’d come back for this” factor.
Yes, the price tag is higher than your standard pho house, but you can taste where it went — fresh seafood, generous portions, and a broth that doesn’t cut corners. Service was friendly, waters stayed full, and the vibe inside is casual but lively — perfect for catching up with friends over a serious noodle fix.
If you’re a pho loyalist, try the Hu Tieu here. It’s a game-changer and proof that sometimes, paying a little extra is absolutely worth it.

Paid 27$ for the beef stew pho dish bo kho. The beef was rubber, the noodles were mushy, the carrots were improperly chopped and still had a dirt ring on the top. To top it off the broth tasted like mop water. Been occasionally eating here for 3 years, changed my review from 5 stars to 1. Pretty damn insulting to be served something that disgusting. Nobody even blinked an eye at me taking 2 bites and then paying the bill and leaving. Also they charge mandatory 18% gratuity but do not reflect it in the menu, and then ask for a second gratuity at checkout. 4 other vietnamese places nearby that are better.

Some of the best pho i've ever had. I get the shrimp pho with spicy broth and it's amazing. Quick service and food always fresh.. The boba on the other hand is hit or miss.. Sometime the boba pearls aren't cooked thoroughly leaving the boba hard and less gummy like.. I do think their boba tea is pretty expensive for the quality. Besides that love this place !

Place is clean, nice appointments with screens showing sceneries and tropical fish. There's an area for karaoke, haven't chanced upon it being used. I like this place more than its old location near TJMaxx at Fairfield square, which was the last time I reviewed this restaurant. The last time I reviewed it, a small bowl of Pho Dac Biet was less than $15. I guess it's sign of the times but still, to think that authentic food back in Vietnam is only $2 !!! Anyway I digressed. Service is good. The only thing is that they don't provide you small containers for to go of sauce. They give you packets. What I love about Pho broth is you know when bone marrow, etc has been cooked for hours to get to that rich broth, the color, the depth of taste. You get it here at Pho Viet.

Me and my wife both had the Pho Tai... Lemme tell you something. This right here, will HEAL YOU. Match it up with a Thai Tea... BOOM I swear you will not be disappointed. On top of that, the ambiance was impeccable. I've had Pho all over the US. EASILY top 3.

Very big menu with lots of variety and the food is always good
The guys in here had amazing customer service. Probably the priciest pho I’ve ever had, but food is great and service was nice so I thought it was well deserved.

I had the opportunity to grab lunch with my mom at Pho Viet 1, and it was a great experience. My first impression of the place was how spacious and inviting it looked inside. The service was excellent our waiter regularly checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the pork rice platter, and it was absolutely delicious. It definitely reminded me of my childhood. I appreciated how everything was served hot and fresh. The dish also came with soup and fish sauce, which you could pour over your plate to add even more flavor. Overall, I’d give it a 5 out of 5 highly recommend!

The BEST pho around. We’ve tried the Pho79s around town and they’re not bad but this place has the best broth. We crave it when we’re sick, when it’s cold and just because.

I am a member of the Regent University Asian Pacific American Law Student Association (APALSA), and our organization hosts events on campus frequently. Everytime we've catered from Pho Viet, the restaurant has done an exceptional job! In the most recent event, we wanted to do a Vietnamese-Mexican fusional tacos because we were partnering with Regent University Hispanic Law Student Organization. No restaurant caters fusional tacos of that type, but I thought of Pho Viet. And Mr. Viet, the owner, was incredibly helpful! He put together a menu with me and tailor made the pickled carrots and radish to look like pico de gallo, stir fry chicken & beef in a way that resemble taco meat. In a nutshell, the tacos look like a twist on Vietnamese banh mi and Mexican tacos. The event was a huge hit, and everyone absolutely enjoyed the food! Highly recommend this restaurant!
I've also eaten here a few times, and their phở is by far the BEST phở I've eaten in the US (I have tried many phở). Their bánh mì thịt nướng and cơm bò lúc lắc are also to die for!
Update (2025): I did go back recently in 2025, and the pho quality wasn't nearly as good anymore...not sure what happened. It used to be 9/10, but now more like a 6.5/10.
