Pho 919 Viet-Thai & Tea — Restaurant in Morrisville

I am having the hardest time figuring out how anyone could leave a positive review for this atrocity of an establishment. I ordered the $8 crispy spring rolls thinking they must be special at that price only to receive an abhorrent attempt at what is usually my favorite way to start the meal. They were filled with nothing more than unseasoned meat and large pieces of onion. No woodear mushrooms, bean thread noodles, carrots or FLAVOR whatsoever. The sorry excuse for garnishes added nothing to the dish. Next up: the world’s LEAST FRESH salad rolls. Dry pork, dry shrimp, ICEBERG lettuce, bean sprouts that were now grey and not an herb or scallion in sight. The kicker and true pièce de résistance was the “peanut sauce” that tasted like some sort of fruit jelly. It was the sweetest, sorriest excuse for peanut sauce that I’ve ever tasted. And now, for the main event: the pho. The pho that everyone reviewing on here seems to be so terribly fond of. I knew there was a significant problem the moment it arrived. It was nearly clear, completely absent of any color whatsoever. You could immediately tell that it was lacking body, flavor and care. Sure enough, after tasting it, I was able to confirm my suspicions: TOTAL TRASH. No amount of herbs, hoisin or sriracha we’re going to bring this one back from the dumpster it crawled out of. I can’t believe that this place was full of people who actually thought it was quality Vietnamese food....

I wish I could give zero stars bc that’s how atrocious this place is. This was our first and last time here. Their credit card machine wasn’t working so the young female at the counter told us to order and pay online. I told her it didn’t work for me and to see if she could help. She was unprofessional and rolled her eyes at me and didn’t even answer. Strike 1. I managed to order on a different browser and after awhile asked the same rude young female the status of my order. She had the NASTIEST attitude and told me I could go to Walmart to get food if I was in rush! WHO SAYS THIS OR SPEAKS LIKE THIS TO CUSTOMERS?!? I learned this was the owner’s daughter! I was floored by the despicable behavior and if I hadn’t already paid online, we would’ve cancelled, said a few choice words and left. Strike 2 and 3. I was thinking this better be some damn good pho that my mother really wanted for me to put up with this gutter level “service”. IT WASN’T!! It was bland, unseasoned, didn’t taste fresh, and skimpy portions. Think dirty looking hot water with some sad looking meat and vegetables and noodles floating around in it. And for about $80 for 3 people!? Hell no. NEVER AGAIN. I don’t know how anyone could rate this place as having good food or service, and how they’re still in business. Like I’m honestly perplexed.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF OVERPRICED NO FLAVOR, NOT FRESH WORST PHO...

This is one of the few places you can get authentic Pho in North Carolina. It is a family run business. We always get disappointed when we venture to other places claiming to serve authentic Pho in the RTP area. I have lived down in New Orleans where there is a huge Vietnamese population where there is not a shortage of vietnamese restaurants and vietnames stores. After moving down to RTP I was always craving for authentic vietnamese cuisine and this place has filled the void and filling happy tummies. The menu is small but has the essentials of vietnamese cuisine. The Pho whether it is the spicy pho or Pho ga or veg versions you will always be smacked in your face with flavor and satisfied sweating out with smiles all over your face with slurps, mmmms, " it good, "its so good"s , all throught the meal. The fried spring rolls and the summer rolls are worth trying it as the fried rice and noodle verions as well. The owners do take a break in the afternoons and will close down few days a year for a vacation. So it is wise to call before you go to the restaurant. They do post about closings weeks ahead so if you had not frequented often you will be disappointed with a closed sign on the door :-) . But they work hard all year long so they do need the deserved break(s). Can't wait to go back again. The kids are asking to go back the...
