Pho Saigon Vietnamese Noodle & Grill — Restaurant in Joplin

I’ve been eating Pho here for quite a few years. It’s not just the best tasting, it also seems to be the best price and I never have to wait very long for service.

If you order Pho to go, you will find it packaged very nicely and you can even ask for a small container of roasted chili oil. They never skimp on the basil and sprouted mung beans Pho generally comes with either! The shrimp spring rolls taste the same as anywhere else. (The peanut sauce is the star here) Their noodle dishes are excellent but it’s hard to beat Pho.

One day they suggested the fried pork chop. I thought I’d made a mistake cause it sounded boring and I knew I’d be disappointed. It was SO good! Though, it’s hard to beat their delicious Pho. I imagine it will take another couple of years to actually try the other menu items because I like the Pho so much. Even though there isn’t a large variety of dishes. I’ve had every flavor of Pho they offer. I’d always favored the rare flank until I tried the well done flank. There is a little bit of fat (hardly any) and it has a roasted flavor that can’t be beat imho. My mom always gets shrimp Pho. My sons would rather eat here most the time. They get full and can sometimes eat a second dinner/snack off the leftovers.

This seems to be a family run restaurant with the parents and a daughter and the daughter has a young daughter. The youngest is generally there and is a bit of an ambassador for the restaurant. She seems to be about 4?? When I first started seeing her, she was shy and had difficulty talking to others. Not so shy anymore and oh so cute:) Diners sometimes watch educational cartoon videos or play little games with her:) Though there is the typical cafeteria style restaurant seating feel, I love to see this type of family, community, quality, and service, and am glad to spend money here instead of fast food which will get you much less quality food for more money.

Oh yeah! And they have bubble tea!! Out of all the cities I’ve had bubble tea in, they offer the best quality in terms of blend, variety, and quantity of bubbles and other add-ins. If you’re a skeptic of bubble tea, try the brown sugar flavor with brown sugar boba. We chose hot and it...

We went here for the first time tonight. One cook was out on vacation, leaving just one cook to run the show. The service was very slow (waiting for at least 20 minutes to get a drink) and others were waiting as well. Several orders were backed up with several to go orders and eat in orders as well, with people still coming in to eat. We waited some more and we finally got our egg roll appetizer (after about 30-40 minutes sitting in the restaurant).

It was EXCELLENT. The egg rolls were crispy and had wonderful flavor and they were gone in about 3 minutes. After another 10-15 minutes the entrees arrived (about 50 minutes in the restaurant at this time). The beef vermicelli was excellent and beyond my wildest expectations andmy husband's shrimp pho was very flavorful and well done. It had a delicious amount of spice.

We will certainly give this place another shot. It was probably just a bad night for the staff. They held it together considering their circumstances. I wish I could do 4.5 stars because while the wait was long, the food was...

August 18, 2023 at 12:06 PM Fist bite(the chopped egg roll) contained a beautiful and delicious aroma and beautiful balance of flavor. Second bite: (the strip of pork) smoky and rich in flavor. Perfect amount of ballance of all. After adding the sauce it seamed unbelievable on how the flavor seemed to be amplified dramatically in the best way possible. I can not recall the last time my belly and happiness was filled to the tippy top form a affordable and well presented meal. The environment Is calm and inviting. The restaurant has plenty parking space. Thad the bowl #303 it a great puD fulfiling choice. The staff are kind and respectful. The food was cooked to perfection and served promptly. The restaurant is clean and decorated very well. The AC in the building if absolutely on point. The floors are clean. No slip and sliding..there not sticky and tacky like other restaurants. This pho restaurant has won my solid 5...
