Pho 1 — Restaurant in Largo

I was interested in finding somewhere to eat for lunch and notice that most consumers that work in this plaza would rush to the Publix store to get food for lunch. In my case, I wanted to try something different and so I went to this restaurant to try their food for the first time. My first impression was that they were trying to save on electricity by not having enough lighting available for the customers to sit down and eat, as if they were dining in. The young lady at the counter waited on me and made a suggestion for the chicken teriyaki meal. I decided to try that and waited patiently. While waiting for my food, I noticed how insanitary it looked from a distance as I focused on the kitchen area from my view. Most of the doorways and wall ways were smudge with dirt surrounding them as if everyone who touches the walls just add it to the filth. I stepped out for a moment to get some cash and returned from my vehicle to make the payment. My food was not yet done however, what seemed like the owner, was an older lady in her possible 50s, Asked me if I needed any help and I explain to her that I need to make a payment for my order. She seems sort of rude and ignorant by the way she addressed me as a customer, demanding payment at once. I made the payment, thinking my food was ready but it was not. As I received my order, finally, I proceeded to my vehicle to sit back and enjoy my meal. The chicken was dry and it appeared that they may have put MSG on it. It was mixed with vegetables and rice. With me being so hungry, I immediately started eating but sensed that there was a weird taste in the food. I spat it out!!! Now, either I cannot get used to the taste of that chicken or it was bad. I’m not sure but my taste buds do not agree with that meal. With the restaurant being so filthy, I had bad thoughts of the food being contaminated. I chose not to eat there again based off my experience. Hopefully others will find it to be wonderful but I did not. What a waste of money ($10.65). I should’ve went to Publix like the rest of the consumers that work in that plaza. I have definitely...

UPDATE: My go-to pho spot. Always quick good service, tasty food (I keep only buying pho for takeout tho, will try don't in again & more opts). 2 days ago the cashier remembered I don't like boba in my Thai tea. I don't even go that often, she's got skills! 👍🏽😁 Moved up a ⭐ to 5.

I have only come for Pho soup a couple of times, and will again. Thai tea is good too.🙂

Had some type of mixed meat pho the first time. It was eaten there because they asked if I knew how to cook it when I planned to take it home and that wasn't my purpose of getting take out (didn't have to do that when I'd order in VA).😛 It was decent, just one of the meats tasted off.

I returned a few days ago, ready to accept having to cook since I didn't want to stay. I chose chicken this time to avoid whatever meat was off last time. The meat seemed cooked - I kind of hoped that'd be the case; figured maybe they have to with chicken to be safe. I mixed it and the veggies in, had to reheat a little since it got cold, and enjoyed my meal thoroughly. I'll do this again as I miss eating pho. Takeout means only one sauce which wasn't too hot tho, so next time I'll ask if they have a hotter one...

Came here after I passed it on the road, I am a Pho Fawm lover and I have been to many, many Pho noodle shops coast to coast. This place is below average in my view. The portion is not very large for the price, the broth is just so-so, not enough flavor, and the bean sprouts they gave me were not fresh, at all.

I had to ask for extra limes since one did not do it. The beef for Pho Tai was a little chewy and the broth was not as hot as it should be. I am used to scalding broth and the beef cooking very fast and this was still pretty red when it came out. My mothers smoothie was good though.

Overall, this a place I would not visit again because the Pho was not memorable or impressive enough to warrant a rave review. I have had authentic Vietnamese Pho and food, and this is too Americanized and fast food style. Also, the seating is terribly uncomftable. I think I should I have stopped in that other Queen...
