Very fragrant pho broth rich in flavor and big portions when ordering just the regular sizes! Highly recommend this new Vietnamese pho restaurant!
I saw a 20% off promotion for Pho Live’s first opening week and went to check it out with my friends! The restaurant serves many appetizers, bubble tea, classics like fried rice and lo mein, and various pho noodle soups with different cuts of meat. For a $12.50 regular sized bowl, we received a big portion of pho with lots of meat and toppings like cilantro, onions, and more. The broth had a rich beefy flavor that had us slurping every drop of it! If you were looking for other noodle soups like bun bo hue, this place does not have it FYI; their specialty is pho.
As for the fried rice, this dish had a nice, smokey flavor and the portion was also HUGE! It tasted even better when adding a bit of chili oil onto it. The mango smoothie was ok and not too sweet; I’d come back to try their other drinks. Lastly, the service is quick and very considerate; they always had our waters refilled and asked if we needed anything else. Overall, great spot especially right now during this cold weather for a hot bowl of pho!

This is personally one of my favorite spots for pho in Maryland, their pho was very fragrant and delicious. The portions sizes for each of their dishes are huge and very generous for the price given!
The service is top notch and arrives quickly. The atmosphere was very soothing and it was a great place to socialize in, it made me feel like I was home!
I highly recommend checking out this place if you haven’t.

This is my third, possibly fourth time coming here. I’m a huge fan of pho and have not found anything that I quite like in the Columbia area. Many of the places around here either don’t serve chicken broth or… It leaves a lot to be desired. This place has a delicious broth that’s savory and keeps me full for hours!
Customer Service is always pleasant. The atmosphere is very calming. And the location is great! I truly hope this business is around for the long haul, because I intend to visit it as often as I possibly can!

Staffs are nice and friendly and very accommodating. Food came out super fast. As a Vietnamese person rating the food, it doesn’t taste authentic to me. It may suite American taste better though. Fried foods are too oily there. Pork chop is decent. The taste isn’t authentic, but it’s a good cut of meat. Broken rice is good. It’s true broken rice.

It was a pleasant experience, the host was nice and friendly. I ordered to go.
The restaurant was tidy and clean.
I ordered:
● Fried Veggie Spring Roll: it was fried nicely, not greasy and flavorful. Didn’t care for the accompanying sauce (to sour, doesn’t taste good)
● Fresh Garden Roll: it was OK, had much better. The peanut sauce was to salty, not balanced at all.
● P1. with extra meat balls: unfortunately had high hopes, the noodles was mushy and the broth was salty (the broth needs work on flavor). I had much much better.
The quality was great and fresh, survise was friendly and welcoming.
Would I come back? Unfortunately No, I will come back.

I had a really great experience at this pho restaurant. The broth was flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the portions were very generous. Everything tasted fresh and comforting. The prices were honestly really good for how much food you get, which made it even better. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the place felt clean and cozy. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for good pho.

New Pho Restaurant! Pretty decent food and decent value. True beef bone broth stewed for over 24 hours. No bullion or cheap pork bones! Came for their soft opening and it was fantastic. Food took a little longer to come out than I would have liked but hey, it was their first day open! No faults there!

The broth was really refreshing and flavorful. I asked to have the noodles cooked less and the chef came out to make sure I was happy with them! The Viet ice coffee was a bit sweet for my taste but really good regardless. Perfect for an occasional sweet treat! Nice service too 🙂 Will be coming back.

The food is delicious and everyone at the restaurant is very kind and attentive. Their serving sizes are generous. The pork and rice dish was around $15 but came with 3 big slabs of meat which filled me up! I also recommend their fried spring rolls. The nuoc mam sauce is also nicely made and compliments their side dishes well.
