vPho — Restaurant in Brookside

My wife and I go there about every other weekend, still love it. We get the beef pho with brisket, tendon and tripe every time. 2023-07-09 Update: I'm wondering if their soup is still home made beef bone broth. Starting to taste not as good as before. We still like them though. 2924-04-20 update: we try something new today. I had the oxtail pho and my wife had Bon Reiu. The oxtail pho was good, the soup is basically beef pho soup which I love. The portion is getting smaller and smaller, I feel. Other than that, everything is good as usual. 2024-10-27 update: My beef pho is as good as usual, except that there was only a couple pieces of beef ball and tendons, plenty of tripes. My wife ordered her usual pho and hoagie combo. She didn't get much of tripes at all. Felt like they gave her tripes to me. I also asked for no cilantro in my pho and my wife didn't get any at all. Lastly, we ordered the fried dumpling for appetizer. They were disappointing. They were literally deep fried. Wraps edges became hard. The inside were not hot, they were just warm. I think they also stored bought, not home made. I'll probably go there just for there pho...

This place is kind of small and located in Meadowwood Shopping center. Unless you happen to see their sign you would never know it's there. If you like Pho or have always wanted to try Pho...please try this place it is WONDERFUL! You will not be disappointed. The Pho. ...the broth is a delight on your tongue from the first bite to the last.It has deep flavors of beef, chicken, or vegetable yes, you can choose your broth! The spices are the Vietnamese traditional including, Star anise, cinnamon, corriander, fennel, clove and cardamom...now while this may sound dessertish I promise it blends nicely with the protein choice resulting in an amazing taste experience! You've heard the expression "dances on your tongue"? Well, believe me, it does!!! All of the food I have tried here is amazingly wonderful... although those words still do...

The food here is consistently good; my boyfriend is Vietnamese & his aunt owns a Viet restaurant in Philly. Since we can't always make the trip up there, we feel like vpho is a comparable restaurant for a pho fix. The summer rolls and vermicelli dishes are also good. Only downside is the slightly slower service; I feel like there is only one person taking orders in the dining area, even when it is a busy day, like a Saturday night. I know that these business owners aren't slacking, though; you can see that they are working as quick as they can with the staff they have, so I don't get too impatient. Overall, I think this is an authentic place to get Viet food in...
