Vietnamese Pho Ly

We went for a quick dinner at this little eatery in South Burlington. The storefront is off the main road and plenty of parking. Service is friendly and quick but the food is mediocre. The pho broth has no flavor and mostly just salty. Lacking beef in the broth. Portion is generous and the bean sprouts looked aged. 😆 No photo of the bun with grilled pork but protein portions are a little skimpy. The spring rolls are very hard and crispy, without the right dipping sauce. Disappointing as we were hoping to find something close and convenient that is tasty. 😔 Prices are fair but beware of added taxes on your receipt. We had to question them why the 20% add on taxes. They have a lot of room for improvement if they could just get the basic flavors right.

Ive been feeling under the weather and was looking forward to giving this place a try and not having to drive into Burlington or Winooski on a Friday night. I do not like writing bad reviews, but Unfortunately this is a must. The clear spring rolls tasted like they were stuffed with sand, there were flies in our sipping sauces and the pork was dry. Pretty sure there were small flies in our pho. There is unfortunately way too much excellent condition to try and complete....so not worth the price!!!!!

Bugogi bahnmi and pho tai were delicious. Server was excellent. Easy parking and overall good accessibility. As for babies, I did not see a changing table in the bathroom. Check out was strange. Our bill was wrong by like 90% and then they got it wrong again. Just an inconvenience but I’d recommend just make sure you review your bill.

A fantastic place to eat clean, healthy and delicious Vietnamese dishes. The different Pho, soups, are delicious and the large sizes will fill the hungriest of individuals. Owners and staff are friendly and service is fast and easy. A hidden Gem newly opened 2 months ago. A friendly family owns and cooks just for you and I!! Off of Williston Road across from McDonald's.

So I DoorDashed my food from here but I gotta say, best decision ever. I got the Vietnamese beef stew, lemongrass beef vermicelli, and the combo platter. And I’m very happy to say all were a 10/10. I have to give a special shout out to the stew. I went to Vietnam for 3 weeks and got this same stew there and fell in love. I have not been able to find it since, until today and it brought me right back to sitting at the small plastic table with even smaller plastic chairs in Ho Chi Minh. So, I HIGHLY recommend eating here. Thank you pho Ly for bringing me back 🩷
