Overall Experience: 8/10 ⭐ Phở Thìn is a no-frills, local pho spot focused purely on delivering solid, traditional beef pho. It’s not the place to linger, but it absolutely delivers on taste, portion, and value. I'd return for a quick, satisfying meal.
Food & Drinks: Beef Phở – 8/10 ⭐ Rich, beefy broth with lots of depth. The noodles were a bit soggy but still tasty (7/10), and while the beef lacked seasoning, a dash of pepper brought it to life (7/10). Overall very satisfying.
Water – basic, 10k VND.
Portion size is excellent—one bowl and you’re full (10/10). Great balance of broth, noodles, and meat. Menu is classic Vietnamese—no major extras or dietary variants noted, but it's clearly focused on doing one thing well.
Prices: 9/10 ⭐ 65k VND for a hearty, flavorful bowl of beef pho is a fantastic deal. Add 10k for water and you’ve got a full, authentic meal under 75k. Very fair for the quality and portion size.
Service: 8/10 ⭐ Friendly, quick, and efficient. Staff speaks English, which helps a lot for tourists. No issues at all with ordering or speed.
Atmosphere: 6/10 ⭐ Very basic, functional setting. Clean but not cozy—more of a “come in, eat, and leave” kind of place. It suits the purpose, but it’s not somewhere you’d hang out for long.
Cleanliness: 8/10 ⭐ Everything was well-kept and hygienic. The dining area looked clean and organized, which is key for a place that moves a lot of people quickly.
Would I recommend it? Yes – if you're after authentic beef pho with rich broth and solid value. Great for a quick, tasty local meal without...
Read moreIf you’re craving a bowl of phở that packs a punch, Phở Thìn Đà Nẵng delivers exactly that. Originally famous from Hanoi, this spot in Đà Nẵng brings the northern-style beef noodle soup to central Vietnam—and it does not disappoint.
Unlike the clearer, more delicate broth of southern phở, Phở Thìn’s signature style is rich, slightly oily, and incredibly aromatic. The beef is stir-fried with garlic before being added to the bowl, which gives it a savory depth you don’t find everywhere. One spoonful of broth and you can taste the difference—it’s bold, smoky, and deeply satisfying.
The noodles are perfectly cooked—soft but not mushy—and the generous portions of beef are tender and flavorful. They also offer options like phở tái (rare beef) or phở chín (well-done brisket), and the fresh herbs and lime on the side let you customize each bite.
The setting is simple and clean, perfect for a quick meal. Service is fast, and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. Prices are reasonable, especially for the quality you’re getting.
Overall: If you’re in Đà Nẵng and want to try a phở with serious character, Phở Thìn is a must. It’s not your average bowl—it’s richer, heartier, and unapologetically flavorful. Great for breakfast or a late-night...
Read moreNever received what we ordered. We ordered bread, rolls, and 2 bowls of pho. Only the pho bowls arrived, and they tasted bland. The service was terrible. Guy serviced us around noon on June 12. The lady helped us pay the check and leave this place. They didn't even bring our order after we ate the pho slow. In the end, we had them take off what they enevr gave us from the bill. Very mediocre food and even worse customer service. They should switch to a kiosk it would be better than that guy to order. We ended up going to the BBQ chicken place right across the street, and I recommended you go there it's very close and extremely different service and much better,...
