amazing pho and service!! incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere, as soon as we came in we were seated and offered water. i had pho no.4 which was absolutely delicious! food was fresh, well seasoned and perfect for winter. we also ordered all 3 appetizers, my personal favorite was the chicken wings which were very crunchy and perfectly seasoned. i loved the workers who were especially kind. would highly recommend coming here :)

The food was good and no i didn’t leave a tip i really dont care !. Service was trash !. Server came and i had order thai tea ! He said what color like what what do u mean are my options!. He just stared at me for 5 minutes i ask for the steak to be cooked all the way not rare he looked at me again minutes later he called someone else i asked for thai tea he said okay i ordered the boba tea !. Then he stopped me and said he can get someone to speak Spanish like we weren’t just speaking English!. Am latin American which my family comes from (latino- Hispanic) why would u cut me off middle of my order to get someone to speak Spanish to me !. In the middle of my order so he racial profile me !. And didn’t want to take my order cause i look hispanic and not like his own which is Vietnamese!!.

I’ve been eating at Pho79 on Va. Beach Blvd for 20 years because their food has always been good. Atmosphere is just okay but that is not important here in this review. “The service” last night was rude and awful. My friend and I walked in at 7:29pm, hours on door says open to 8pm. The closing manager came over and knows I’m a regular and said “Do you know we close at 8pm?” He was clearly agitated that we were there. I said yes, I’m aware and that is why we came at 7:30pm. We ordered without looking at the menu immediately. He never asked how we were, no smile just plainly agitated that we came. There were 6 other occupied tables when we arrived. At 7:55pm all tables had left except for us and one other table of 2. We were only half finished with our small bowls of soup. We were rushing

this is essentially a Vietnamese soup hall. you seat yourself you don't have a waiter constantly coming back to your table. this is Vietnamese food so take note before ordering something assuming that all Asian food is the same. That's what I see all of these reviews saying. They seem to be steming from the customers misinformation or racist stereotypes of Asian cuisine they may have. This restaurant is great for its simplicity and delicious food. You come here because you're hungry not to be waited on hand and foot. Authentic Vietnamese soup restaurants in Vietnam are fast-paced, functional, and often involves eating on-the-go to suit an, early-rising, labor-driven culture. So that explains why you seat yourself and once you get your food your job is to eat and go. Service here is alwa

First of all they messed up the order twice before we got this plate, this is the 3rd plate that we got and after a few bites we noticed therw was a whole bug in our food. Definitely would not recommend here or eat here ever again.
