Pho Viet — Restaurant in Glen Allen

This was our first visit to Pho Viet. We’ve been to Pho restaurants in Richmond that were great, but were very pleased to find out that we had an awesome Pho restaurant in town. The restaurant is elegantly decorated. Not just a room with tables. It is cozy, a very nice place for a date or family gathering. I gotta tell you, we will not be driving to Richmond in search of Vietnamese cuisine. Excellent!! Tonight we enjoyed the Pho Duôi Bò (Oxtail, eye of round & brisket) and the Pho Dò Biên (Shrimp & Scallops). Absolutely delicious. To wash it down we had ice cold Bia Saigon Export Premium. Nice touch with the ice cold glasses! Attention to detail. After dinner the owner made sure to stop by and ask how we liked our entrees. Very warm and welcoming person. Thanks! See ya soon!

So exciting to have a fantastic and authentic Vietnamese restaurant right off Sliding Hill.

If you are concerned about the sheer volume of five star reviews, let me just add to the pile - Pho Viet really does deserve them. We have been here over ten different times since the beginning of summer and each visit has been consistently excellent.

Their pho broth is without equal in the Richmond area IMO. The vermicelli bowls and broken rice dishes showcase an excellent bbq pork and chicken that are on par with my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Orlando, Lac Viet, which went under during covid. Fresh made lemonade and limeade or a lychee martini top off an excellent meal.

Super quick service is also appreciated - hoping to place some to-gos in the future when we cannot dine in.

When I came in on the weekend, I was impressed by the interior. I particularly liked the art on the walls, which added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. I started off with the spring rolls, which were fresh and satisfying. While they didn’t blow me away, the crispness of the vegetables and the balance of flavors made them a solid choice. Next up was the Oxtail Beef Pho, which truly stole the show. The meat was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and the oxtail brought an incredible depth of umami that made each bite more enjoyable. The limeade was a delightful, refreshing treat, offering just the right balance of sour and salty notes. It was a great way to cut from the flavor of the pho. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making the entire experience even...
