Pho Top — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

I recently visited Pho Top Vietnamese Cuisine after hearing so many great reviews and went in with high expectations. Sadly, my experience didn’t quite match what I had hoped for. I ordered pho, expecting a flavorful, well-balanced bowl, but it fell short in a few key areas.

The noodles were overcooked, which made them soft and mushy instead of having that springy texture that good pho noodles should have. The broth, which is usually the star of the dish, was just average — not terrible, but definitely lacking depth and richness. I was also disappointed with the meat. The slices were cut too thick, which made them chewy and a bit difficult to enjoy. A thinner cut would have made a big difference in both flavor and texture.

On top of that, the parking situation was another drawback. The lot is very limited, and it took me some time to even find a spot, which added unnecessary stress to the visit.

Overall, while the service and presentation were fine, the food itself just didn’t meet the standard I was expecting based on the reviews. For me, pho is all about the details, and unfortunately, they missed the mark here. I don’t think I’ll be...

My family and I came to Pho top for dinner for the fist time and really enjoyed it. We had a banana peanut butter smoothie, combination beef pho, deep fried shrimp roll and grilled pork chop over rice. We finish everything on our plates and the food was quite tasty. I really liked the freshness and good quality of the ingredients. The dishes were not overly sauced or too sweet and were just right. The place was cute and neat. The staff were very friendly. Overall it was a great dinner and experience. We’ll definitely go back...

If you haven’t come here, you are making a mistake. The pho is just so delicious. The waitresses are extremely generous and give you lots of food. My friend and I enjoyed two bowls for pho for only 35$. Each pho comes with lots of veggies and other toppings. If you are ever in town, I highly suggest getting the combination pho. The pho also comes with a free Thai tea that is delicious to drink. There are also other food options too such as fried chicken. Overall, I love this restaurant and come here very often...
