Reviews
The food was okay. The phở broth was very good, but they didn’t give me enough herbs. I think I counted 4-5 leaves of basil. The fresh spring rolls were mediocre to me. It lacked the minty taste. I think it’s a bit pricey compared to some other Vietnamese places I’ve been to. Also, I didn’t like the fact that they didn’t have warning about the fish sauce IN some of their dishes. That’s violating safety regulations because people who are seafood allergic could potentially get sick from this. They DO have more options that don’t have fish sauce, which is a good alternative.
Overall, if you enjoy Vietnamese food and you live around the area, it’s worth checking out. But if you live in Cleveland, there are plenty of other great Vietnamese places you can choose from.
I got the “Build Your Own” Pho with rice noodles and beef brisket (extra as well). The portions were very nice and the food was excellent.
The only reason I’m giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is because my unsweetened black tea was $3.99 and you don’t get free refills. I get for the special drinks (which they have a huge selection of that all look delicious) it would make sense not to have free refills for that, but my unsweetened black tea with lemon shouldn’t be part of that. It was really good too and I was so thirsty after enjoying the pho because it was hot and a little spicy with the sliced jalapeños I put in the pho. So I had to conserve my drink since I didn’t want to pay another $3.99 plus tax and they did give me water, but it tasted like cucumbers. I like cucumber water, but I want to know that’s what I’m drinking before I have it. It really wasn’t something I wanted to drink at that moment. I’m not even sure it was cucumber water either.
The service was great and they were quick to serve me. I have no complaints or concerns whatsoever there. The host was also very kind when I walked in. I would’ve had to wait for a clean table, but I was by myself so I sat at the bar. I wouldn’t have minded waiting, but I was very hungry.
I would definitely recommend this place and I got the deal for coming before September ended, so be prepared to spend a little more than what I did. Mine was a good $20, which I thought wasn’t bad. I know next time it will be more and I hope they give exceptions to unsweetened black tea to have free refills because that would push it to a 5/5.
After waiting another 15 minutes, I saw a staff member just standing around doing nothing, so I called them over. But they said they weren’t a server, only cleaning up. The customers sitting next to us were also upset because of the slow service.
There were 4 of us, and we ordered 5 portions of food, but the service was very strange. Every 10 minutes they brought out just one dish—so one person ate while the others just watched. The dipping sauces were delicious, but the main dishes were only average.
Big bowl. Steaming broth. Comfort you can taste.
A former friend once introduced me to pho. Funny enough, the first place we tried didn’t even have vegetarian pho, so we left. But mentally? I never left pho behind. From that moment on, I was hooked. Friendships fade, life changes… but good soup stays undefeated.
That’s why Build Your Own Pho hits. You get to customize your bowl exactly how you want it, which is clutch—especially if you’re vegetarian or just picky about your broth and toppings. The broth is rich, warming, and does exactly what pho is supposed to do: make you slow down and enjoy the moment. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and that cozy, soul-reset energy in every bite.
At this point, some of my strongest emotional bonds are with bowls of pho—and honestly? Pho rocks.
Best soup ever. No debate.
If you’re looking for comfort, customization, and a bowl that feels like a hug, Build Your Own Pho delivers.
