Pho #1

Great food, clean restrooms and dining areaService is great. I ordered the vermicelli bowl, lemongrass, tofu and it was delicious! My daughter had the shrimp fried rice, and it was delicious

Service was fast and friendly, and restaurant nicely decorated at Christmastime. I did not care for the fresh summer rolls. They had too much noodle and a runny peanut sauce, whereas I prefer more meat and veggies with a thicker sauce for dipping. Also, something tasted off in the roll, but I couldn't place my finger on what it was.Pho was okay. Thin broth and plenty meat/vermicelli. Generous with accoutrements (fresh lime, basil, sprouts, jalapeño). Not too salty but on the saltier side. I don't think I'll be back. Nothing wrong but not a showstopper either. Looking for a go-to.

After two hours of immersing myself at the Albuquerque museum in old town, I decided to go to lunch. My stomach was rumbling so I decided to take an Uber to have lunch in a Vietnamese restaurant. I looked on Yelp to see what was around Albuquerque that was good. Having a 4.5 star average rating really helps as well. And so, I called the Uber and they got me here to Pho #1. Upon arrival, this Vietnamese restaurant seemed large enough to wear. It could accommodate maybe 50 people at one time. But just seems like it was one of those days where we just missed the lunch rush and that was a good thing. I arrived here around 1:30 PM and was seated almost immediately. The overall experience took about an hour from ordering to finishing up and paying for my meal. Only problem I could see was that the bowl that I had my beef noodle soup and was not as large as I thought it would have been. But it was delicious and definitely a great part of my Tuesday election day 2024 lunch. I ordered the combination Pho along with summer rolls on the side. Everything was delicious and wow, the broth was above average. It was flavorful and definitely hit the spot. I enjoy it very much and hope I could come back here through my next travel opportunity. If you ever had delicious Vietnamese food, this might be your opportunity to try one of the best in Albuquerque. Now I know why 4 1/2 stars is asset to this restaurant. It's so good. I will definitely recommend it if you're in the area and want to try something different or have your Vietnamese fixed for the day. I know I had mine here in Albuquerque.The overall experience here at Pho #1 Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico has been quite interesting and typical at the same time. I enjoyed myself here, especially when I needed the downtime from all the fun I had with my friend at breakfast and then the museum prior to having lunch here at Pho #1. The service here was friendly and quick, as far as restaurants go. I think I got my order within 15 minutes., Which was quick in my view. The restaurant itself was clean and quite large for a Vietnamese restaurant. The menu was limited, but it had is plastic dishes and options. I wonder why I don't get the rice plates but go directly for the beef noodle soup. That's the question that I ask myself time and time again, but the Pho is always a great option anytime anywhere. For the most part, though, it was well needed and definitely hit the spot when traveling can get the best of you, it is great to have some simple Vietnamese cuisine to keep everything good and peaceful. They do have restroom, facilities here too, which is, fabulous. Not sure if they have public Wi-Fi or not, but it didn't matter. Not sure if they had air-conditioning either, but it was comfortable. Weather outside was cold enough to bother. With that said, if you're hitting up the Albuquerque area, I need some delicious Vietnamese cuisine, consider this one as your first choice. You'll be glad you did.Pho #1 Vietnamese restaurant is located at 414 San Pedro Drive in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. They are about 15 minutes east of old town District. As far as parking goes, your best bet will be to have parking spots next to the restaurant or find available street parking outside the restaurant. If you like me, I came here through Uber and got picked up after my meal by my local Albuquerque friend after she voted in the presidential election 2024. Not sure if Albuquerque's public transportation system has rules that come through in this area or near it, so best bet would be to look online to make sure that it does work at least come goes to it, so you can enjoy top quality Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico. And all was good though, it gave me a reason to enjoy life more by having Vietnamese food here in Albuquerque. As mentioned before, if you're here in Albuquerque, best bet is to get here early to get it in on the awesomeness. You won't regret it.4.5 stars or the overall experience. 3.0 stars for the prices. 4.5 stars for the ambience. 4.5 stars for the food and the service.Support local!B+

Great Vietnamese food with some solid pho! Private parking out front. Great prices - good portion sizes. If you like Vietnamese food then be sure to check out Pho #1

Still my # 1 go to for Pho in the STATE. Delicious, affordable, and authentic. The owners are super kind (the lady remembers that I like it spicy and brings over Asian chili without me asking). Worth the visit.

Very easy to place an order by phone and order was done fast. We ordered various of stuff to go. Two pho, rare steak and beef ball slice; combination Fried Rice w/ chicken, cilantro, green onions, shrimp and pork sausage) and Jasmine Rice with Grilled Pork Chop, Sliced Pork Skin, and Fried Egg. The portions are good. Great taste, everything is well-seasoned. Combination fried rice comes with tons of meat. Pho soup is very soothing.

The food is service was amazing. Everything came out nice and warm. The flavor was incredible.

Visited here Friday, August 26, 2022, with a co-worker. The owner that sat us down and told us they had to put up curtains during Covid. The cables were still hanging on the ceiling. Only a few other people occupied the restaurant.She took our order quickly. Four spring rolls and beef Pho. The Spring rolls were light and served with peanut sauce. A giant shrimp nestled inside the roll and tasted very fresh. My Pho came out steaming with tomatoes, green onions, generous portions of beef, and the broth and noodles had real flavor. She gave me fresh bean sprouts, and jalapenos which I piled on top of that wonderful Pho. This restaurant had a wonderful rendition of Pho and the appetizer tasted fresh. Visit here for a nice lunch Pho experience!

Very friendly. Took care of us right away. Pho was excellent and filling. Cute place but stay away from tables by the door especially if windy. Owner waited on us, not a fan of that but their business

Ordered the rare beef pho. Stock was lukewarm at best so beef took a while to cook. Flavor profile was okay.
