Pho 79 — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

My fiancé and I have had pho from several restaurants and states. This is number 1! The noodles were tender but not squishy, the beef was tender and flavorful, the chicken was perfectly cooked to where they weren’t chewy and dry but there was no risk of it being undercooked. The broth for both the beef and chicken pho was the most rich and balanced broth we’ve ever had. The egg rolls were well seasoned and delicious. The Vietnamese coffee wasn’t overly sweet like I’ve had in the past, and had a good balance of milk and coffee flavors. The portion sizes for the pho include small, large, and xtra large. The pricing was very fair, especially for how full the bowls were! The small is ~$14.95 I believe and I got well worth $15 of food. The decor is very clean and well themed, just like the rest of the restaurant. The staff was attentive but not overbearing, and was very friendly; greeting us with smiles and a “welcome in.” My fiancé also had the “Sapporo” beer and it was crisp and refreshing. Will definitely be returning! Check the picture for my fiancé’s bowl absolutely CLEANED because the pho...

If you're in the mood for Vietnamese food GO ELSEWHERE! With a party of 7 including 2 kids at around 8p we came in and there was an open table. Ordered drinks and appetizers. A couple of take out customers came in and placed orders then and there (not called in in advance) and were out of there before we got our appetizers. Small but expensive. Having traveled to the area all day we didnt want to eat at where we staying and the group think was Vietnamese. Some of our meals came and the remainder of the appetizers still had yet.to come out. Once everything was on the table the kids meals were in bowls too small to move anything around but to splash on the table. Plus no taste. When we got the bill they missed the drinks but added another dish that was not ordered. This error took 10 minutes at least to figure out and get paid. Best thing we did at this place wss to get out of there. Won't be returning to see if they...

Update I went today and got the lemon grass beef skewers and found 3 pcs of hair in my food. I told the server and no apology was even offered. As he walked away the young girl who was working with him suggested it was mine, mind you the hair I found in my food was white and seemed a little thick and I have brown/black hair...next thing I see is an older man with a white beard come from the kitchen where the girl server again suggested with him that it was my hair....my issue is that there was no apology and the continued accusations of it being my hair were uncalled for....you just lost a long time customer!! Previous review 6years ago Really great service and the best pho I have ever had. I got the LG chicken but really the reg/small is plenty. I loved the flavor and the over all experience. Staff seemed happy to help and explain what was what although it is very clear on the menu. Great experience, great food!...
