Pho Ginger

Lunch on Saturday, December 7. We had egg rolls, papaya salad with shrimp, fried noodle with shrimp, beef, chicken, pork and coconut and mango smoothes. The vegetables on the fried noodle plate were fresh! And not just broccoli. Sometimes restaurants will load their plates with broccoli, I get it, broccoli is large and takes up a lot of space. I like broccoli but DD does not and we were sharing. (I got all the broccoli ). The egg rolls were crispy but not greasy. They weren't the best egg rolls I've ever had but they were good. They will bring lettuce and basil if you ask for it. The smoothies were delicious! The coconut tasted like fresh coconut and the mango tasted like a beautifully ripened mango. Yumm!! The bobas were chewy and large. The only dish I can't give high marks to was the papaya salad. It was bland and the shrimp didn't have much flavor even with the fish sauce and chile sauce. The decor is simple but there are big windows with a view of the Sandias. The wait staff is attentive without being intrusive. They seem sincerely friendly and pleasant. Word has gotten out about this place and it was busy. We were glad because so many restaurants don't last a year. As Arnold said, "I'll be back". ​

Saturday. November 16, 2024. Dinner.My wife and I came here for a Vietnamese dinner. The inside is well lit and nicely decorated. They have a five-page, generous menu selection. See attached photos. The staff are attentive and checked on us regularly throughout our meal. I saw an avocado smoothie, $4.75, on the menu and couldn't resist. Usually I don't order sweeter items. This smoothie wasn't overly sweet and the avocado really stood out. The coldness paired nicely with the hot food. I order the #20, $13.95, which was the special Vermicelli patties. These were Vermicelli noodles topped with meatballs, shrimp, grilled pork and pork wrapped in bean curd skin. These were topped with green onions and ground peanuts. The meatballs stood out as the winner and I loved the al dente cooked noodles. The appetizer, 2 spring rolls, $3.75, were super fresh and stuffed to the gills with pork. Peanut dipping sauce paired nicely with this. The food came out hot and the fresh ingredients put it over the top. This meal filled us up and was really healthy. My wife had the Pad Thai and said it was too oily for her liking.

Pho Ginger is a staple of our monthly outings. The food is always good, the pork there is amazing. Boba is good too, I get the avocado. The staff is extremely friendly and always happy. Highly recommended

Great spot! I came here for dinner with my husband & we enjoyed our experience. When we arrived there was a bit of a wait, as a group of 6 was ahead of us. The staff were very communicative and got us seated as soon as possible. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how they have a section that explains all menu items that fit this requirement. The eggroll noodle bowl was pretty good! Prices were affordable and portions were large. I'll be back soon!

I'm adding pictures to my other review that I forgot to add. Excellent food! I went for lunch with friend and had very friendly wait staff.

I got the pork clay pot at Pho Ginger.The dish came out boiling hot and fresh! The rice had a sauce inside that imparted some flavor, but nothing super significant. The vegetables inside were perfectly cooked, soft, and blended well with the texture of the pork and rice. The pork itself was also cooked perfectly and was quite juicy, but again, its flavor was nothing super amazing.That said, I decided to add some of their Hoisin sauce to the dish and BAM! Instant classic! It imparted enough sweet and savory flavor into the pork and rice to have me thinking about how amazing it was six hours later!I will be back, and I highly recommend Pho Ginger!

I love Pad Thai and this did not disappoint me. The food was really good and the service was very kind and helpful.

Great, interesting food at a good price. Friendly fast service. Everything was first rate.

The food was so good here!! I stopped there today for my hour long lunch break and they killed it! The hostess was so sweet and so on top of it, cleaning, checking on customers and bringing out the food. Such a nice environment too, their art is beautiful. They even had a few regulars in so it had a homey vibe that I loved. I will most definitely be going back again!

The service is very friendly and quick. The place is clean, and the prices are good, plus the food is excellent. I had stir fried rice noodles with vegetables and tofu. The noodles have a super yummy grilled flavor and the tofu had a nice sear. Lots of veggies. This was the 3rd time I've had this, and I will definitely order it again. Quality is very consistent.
