The pho was extremely yummy and fresh, not greasy or heavy at all, the broth was so amazing! The service was amazing as well the staff were super attentive and friendly. The restaurant is self was very cozy and clean! I will definitely return

Awesome food. We had pho and tofu bun, their broth has a very authentic taste. The lemongrass tofu is the best from what I have seen here in US.

I ordered the seafood pho and the brisket and meatball pho, cost me $30. Noticed The seafood did not smell well at all when I got into my car but when I got home and opened my brisket and meatball pho there was a baby roach in my food and my husband said the seafood tasted rotten. We had to throw both soups away.

It's a decent mom and pop shop but unfortunately left a lot to be desired. I love trying small places like this and hate giving less than awesome reviews, but it just isn't somewhere I'd go back to. The lady who took our order seemed nice enough, albeit a little hard to understand due to her accent but that isn't a negative in my book. The restaurant itself could use a little organization and cleaning up, again, not really a big negative to me, however I will say if you have those things present then the food has to be phenomenal and there had to be a lot of it. I paid $36 for 2 entrees and asked (and paid) for extra meat, I even tipped 5 dollars on a takeout order BEFORE the food was cooked. Now the order was tasty, no complaint there, the issue is that my meal was on the small side. So, there's nothing really worth going back for, not the best value and I feel other places provide more bang for your buck and value you as a customer more. Kind of disappointed, really wish I could say more positive things but why pay 36 dollars for takeout and not get something worth it?

Chicken wings are very very salty….. the batter is very chalky although crispy. Crispy tofu was not crispy partially due to the fact we had a to go order. Problem is the outside of the crispy fried tofu had a powdery slime as if not completely friedThe first pho for the tofu also had no holes so there was a lot I mean a lot of water in the box. Utensils would have been nice since touching the tofu dripping of water and oil can get messyAll in all our food was trashedHuge waste of moneyWe read online reviews so we thought this place would be greatWe were wrong very wrong

They used to be so good. I ordered twice from Uber Eats recently and they got my order wrong BOTH TIMES. And what food I did get to try, was not nearly as good as they were 1-2 years ago. Want Pho? Want wings? Go across the street to Pho Viet Thai. The food is better, and they got the big beef rib pho over there. It’s delicious. I won’t be ordering from Pho Friends anymore. There are restaurants with way better food within walking distance. Not worth.

I'm Vietnamese. I accidental order from here rather than my usual pho place. Thought to give this a try. Worse Vietnamese food. For rice and pork chop, it's hard to go wrong. Their pork chop was horrible. Will not return.

Name is longer pho friends, but rather pho Lakewood. We sat down, at dinner time, to an empty restaurant, seemed a bit off. We were greeted, said to sit at a table, then abruptly brought to another one. Sat down, and a man came in from outside and said to us, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, I wouldn't do that." We decided too many pieces of the puzzle were adding up, and decided to leave. The man who came in talked to us and said that they failed health inspection and were not even allowed to be open. Hope this helps anyone else looking at the reviews and wondering if they should come here.

Ordered Shaking beef ($15) and only got 10 small quarter-sized pieces! How cheap can u be?!
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE EATING HERE!!!found a little metal wire in the fried rice, peanut sauce was greenish grayish, had a stomachache afterwards, water looked not clean and spoons weren't clean either. I would not recommend at all. Friend got a very upset stomach afterwards:(

Not sure how this place has a 4.5 star overall rating.Came in to check it out because of that, wish I had read all the reviews before... stay away from this place even if everything else around is closed, I promise going hungry is better than eating here. They got some of our orders wrong which wasn't that awful, but we found a metal piece in the fried rice we ordered, looked like a staple? Water had some sort of weird film over it, the peanut sauce looked like it had been sitting since the Cold War, the meat in the pho was super hard to chew. Not sure how they haven't been shut down yet or run out of business. Place isn't clean, and there was one person working there so they were handling the register and touching all the screens and stuff around AND making the food in the kitchen all with the same gloves.

Listen yall, I'm a pho girl and this place did not disappoint!The pho itself was excellent. The broth was clean and light. Portions were nice and plenty of noodle/meat. Service was wonderful. The sweet lady serving was also cooking and still managed to be at tentative. Will be back with friends

This place is awful. Went here because we saw the reviews were really good and ended up regretting it. The sticky floor should’ve been enough to turn us away but we wanted to give this place a chance and ended up with food poisoning because of it. nothing was fresh and my boyfriend had a seafood pho where the shrimp looked really old and he could taste something off about it. to top it all off we saw that their food health rating was taped facing the wall behind the counter as if they were trying to hide it. Don’t trust the reviews stay far far away from this place.
