Pho 79 (Viet Bistro in Hilltop)

This place was the first I ever had PHO a long time ago is still my favorite. The pho is always perfect and I love the way the bring the extra tendon if you order it. Jackie and Dave were so friendly and keeping the whole restaurant happy. Love the experience and customer service. Love IT

This has quickly become my favorite spot for pho! The broth is always rich and delicious, and I love that they serve Vietnamese coffee that steeps right at your table—it’s such a nice touch. I always finish my bowl of soup without ever feeling too heavy or sick afterward. There’s plenty of parking and seating, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Whether I’m craving comfort food when I’m under the weather or just want a satisfying bowl of soup, this is my go-to place. I’ve tried pho at many restaurants in the area, and this one is by far the best. Highly recommend!

Incredibly delicious Pho! My daughter and I love Vietnamese food and stumbled upon this gem. We had beef broth pho with round, flank, and brisket steak. We ate every last bit of that pho! The best part is it’s naturally gluten free for my celiac daughter since they use rice noodles and no soy sauce. We will be coming back for sure!

The ambiance is a 5. The non working Vespa by the entrance reminds you of transportation in Vietnam- bikes and scooters. There are red and white lanterns and banana leaf-shaped ceiling fan blades. Cute. Decor has rooflines with clay shingles just like in Asian countries. Service is a 5. You’re greeted at the door and told to sit anywhere. Chopsticks, chili oil and glass of water with lemon twist are placed on your table. The condiments seem to be in clean containers. I am not sure how the other reviews indicate that it’s the best pho broth in Hampton Roads when mine was mediocre at best: the color and smell seem on point but the taste isn’t rich or deep in flavor like P** Ng***n for sure! Additionally I figured why another review indicated that it was pricey where small bowl is about $16.

My husband and I had lunch here while visiting Va Beach. Everything was amazing the food our waiter and the vibes!!! Thank you! I forgot to get a picture of the pho my husband had but he loved it!!!
