This place is hiding around the corner on the building. Be sure to find, the PHO will have you saying what the PHOOOO. Will be back got the number 16. Delicious, hot, the flavors have layers and service was so fast, delicious, and friendly. Beers and waters hit the table in 2 minutes in a big rush, from being sat at our own choosing in the restaurant.

Went here for lunch. The wait was long due to the fact the staff was moving so slow to clear tables… at least 3-4 tables to be cleaned and the staff is slowly cleaning 1.
We didn’t receive water until the very end after I requested it twice during our meal. Girlfriend ordered Pho, and wasn’t provided the standard veggie toppings. I ordered fried rice and Thai tea and they forgot the Thai tea (which was grainy) until I asked for it again.
Food wasn’t bad, service needs improvement.

Hidden gem for pho! The broth is rich, fragrant, and clearly simmered for hours—perfect balance of star anise & clove. I ordered the tai chin and the beef was silky, no chewy bits. Fresh herbs arrived overflowing the plate (bonus points for saw-leaf and culantro). Portions are generous; I took home half my noodles. Service was lightning-fast and genuinely friendly—.Clean dining room, fair prices, and they have vegetarian broth that actually tastes like more than salted water. Already planning my next bowl.

Although we have many Vietnamese restaurants in town, but probably What The Pho is the only one downtown. Besides pho, they also had quite a selection of appetizers, vermicelli bowls, rice platters, Vietnamese sandwiches and salad as well as Vietnamese coffee and boba smoothies. Ordered the medium combination beef pho with rare steak brisket, flank, meatball and tripe and the grilled beef spring rolls. The soup for the pho was not salty, but flavorful and umami, The noodles were bouncy and chewy. The portion was large, so glad I ordered the medium instead of large. The meat in the grilled beef spring rolls were tender and smoky, particularly tasty with the dipping peanut sauce. Despite having the indistinct entrance on the Champa side, the restaurant was busy during lunch hours. The service was no-nonsense and prompt and many customers appeared to be regulars, as they did not even need the menu to order.

Let me preface by saying, I do not like to give 1 star reviews. We went here due to the good reviews on Google. Honestly not sure how it got such great reviews. Not one dish ordered was good. Chicken in the eggrolls smelled foul like it has been expired, the noodles were hard (not Al dente) and tasted like refrigerated day old. The sad looking bahn mi sandwich didn’t have any pate, only a smudge of mayonnaise. The chicken over rice had a horrible strange odor/smell. Sadly $60 worth of food went in the trash. Also the restaurant was very hot, not sure if the air conditioning was broken or they were just cheap, so be prepared to sweat while you eat.

The chicken vermicelli dish I had here was below average to average compared to the dishes I’ve had in many other places. The chicken did not have any particularly remarkable flavor and was a bit bland. The fish sauce was good as it should be. The service was also below average and I requested a side of steam vegetables, which I did not get. I’m surprised by the 4 star ratings. Maybe the pho is better?

Disappointing experience. Pho came without the usual veggies (no sprouts, lime, basil) and the broth was blanda and noodles were soft. The combination fried rice was even worse. It tasted overwhelmingly of butter and nothing else — no balance of flavors, just greasy and heavy. The rice was so over-fried it had turned hard and crunchy, making it unpleasant to eat. It didn’t taste fresh at all.
Slow, inattentive service on top of it all. Won’t be back.

Food was decent, prices are a little high for what it is. My group ordered pho and rice dishes. Everything was good except for the shaken beef rice plate. That was terribly chewy and some pieces were so tough that my boyfriend had to spit it out. We think it was reheated food since it was still pink inside but had the texture of well done.

This is a solid pho spot. Service was friendly and quick, and the pho came with all the traditional fixings. The meat (we all ordered brisket and flank) was good quality and well-cooked. We finished with taro boba teas, which were tasty, though the boba itself was a bit dry and wrinkled. The atmosphere is pretty plain, but that’s expected for a pho place — it’s really about the food, and overall we left satisfied. We would return, but I wouldn’t drive to downtown just to eat there.
Prices were good but they did add a service fee for our party of 6- and it was $20. I probably would’ve tipped $20, because the bill was $88 but I thought it strange that it was just a flat $20 without mention of percentage. We did not tip on top of this and as mentioned by others they charge a weird $2.50 fee not mentioned also.
