Sandy and the server “Boss” have the BEST customer service, kindness and generosity. They are truly wonderful people. The food was fabulous on all levels. My sons and daughter in law dine here frequently and the staff are like family. Try this restaurant today!

I don’t often give 5 stars but Pho 79 earned them! Location, parking, service, food, wait time etc, they hit the mark. Being a primarily a plant-based eater can sometimes be very challenging when you eat out however, Pho 79 not only had options on the menu to meet a plant-based lifestyle but readily adjusted plates to enhance our experience. It has been my experience that just as the Pho is getting good, there are no more veggies or noodles. I was hungry this evening so I ordered extra veggies and noodles. Little did I know, that the already put large portions of both in the regular Pho. Needless to say, when I was done eating, I was stuffed. Granted there is not a lot in Pho, broth, noodles and veggies but it can be bland and require, soy, siracha, chilli oil etc, not here! This was great just as it was presented! The veggie spring rolls were excellent as well (empty plate pictured, oops)

This is the worst service I have ever seen. I told the waiter that the noodles were too hard and could be cooked softer. As a result, a bowl of uncooked noodles was brought up in less than a minute. I really couldn’t eat it. Then the shopkeeper said directly that if you don’t like it, you can leave. The service is really bad. I really don’t realize how bad their noodles are, and there are so many Vietnamese noodles nearby. I won’t come back. Their attitude is very bad.

Edit: I went again recently and the place seemed significantly better. I’d give it more then 5 stars if possible. It could of been an off day when I went before. everything was clean ( including the spoons ) sever was again very kind and attentive. I just wanted to up my star review to 5 – I also added new photos
Great food and the server was very kind. I feel bad for him thought because it seemed as if he was doing everything but cooking on his own. getting drinks, orders, online orders, phone calls, and bringing the food from the kitchen to the table ( he was the only person in the entire dining room). He did them all perfectly but it made are stay here longer because of how much was on his plate. none of which is his fault. Also the chopsticks & soup spoons sitting at the table together is kinda gross. Every spoon I picked up was dirty and the chopsticks had stuff on the bottom of them. At least put them into the container upside down to keep them cleaner. The food was great, hot, and fresh 10/10.

Food was good. No waitresses except one lady I assume to be the owner because she bossed around very rudely.
Had to order at the counter, paid there too eventually :/ Mind you, I ate inside and I’m ~guessing~ “someone” is money hungry because as I ordered to the very kind (and stressed) guy at the counter asked what size I would like… the (guessing) the owner said “Large! It’s takeout!!” but I was right there ordering the food because no one took my order when I sat down… in which was her fault.
I pressed for steamed bean sprouts as I’m pregnant and when she gave me my food, she was sarcastic and didn’t check up on me but for 2 seconds just once.
When I went to pay, it wasn’t the same price on the menu and the guy took a while to change the price. He was very kind, while she bothered him here and there, while I was paying at the counter.
Will never go here again or even order this for delivery, this owner is horrible, rude, and quite honestly I’ve never been treated with such disrespect. Plain money hungry. I won’t even add any photos of the food.

Respectable pho place with an ample amount of meat. The broth is pretty basic but there’s a decent amount of flavor in it. Loved the tripe as most places don’t serve it anymore. The Vietnamese coffee was nice and strong. The bean sprouts could have been fresher. Overall this pho gets the job done.

Good pho place. Decent eggrolls. Super long wait. This place seems to always have staffing issues. They never have enough people working here which results in: 1) long wait times before you get your drink/order in/get your food, 2) not picking up the phone, 3) dirty tables that doesn’t get cleaned. I’ve had an experience when from the time we sat down to getting our food was easily over an hour. It’s not the servers fault, they simply don’t have enough people.
Price of their pho is pricier than other places, but they give you a lot of meat. So to me, it was worth the price.
It’s good food, but terrible service. Sometimes it’s one person running the front of store.

I come to this location very frequently though today I came in and had to use the restroom and instead of picking a seat first I went straight to the restroom. I was then approached very rudely by a lady after she yelled hello!?! , then was told I have to ask to use the bathroom? I wasn’t even greeted at the door yet they would like me to greet them. Very unprofessional and very unhappy. I left and will never spend another dollar there.
