PHO 18

delicious authentic spot for Vietnamese noodle soups! I ventured outside of my norm of ordering beef pho and tried the hu tieu - which is a seafood noodle soup. it was delicious with jumbo shrimps, calamari, fish cake, & imitation crab- the eggrolls we ordered had a homemade feel with fresh filling inside- I should've asked for the fish sauce but it came with the sweet chili sauce. food was piping hot (the way I like it!), and they served it when it was ready- this made the timing of appetizers and mains off a bit but I didn't mind it. just be aware that it won't be served in that manner! highly recommend this place for an authentic bowl of pho or any other noodle soups (they also had bo kho and bun bo hue on the menu- will have to come back to try it!)

The food and service were nice, but we dined while there was a karaoke event and the noise was extremely loud. The karaoke made my son upset so we had to leave early and take the rest of the food as take out.

Pho here is super yummy I like the restaurant....it's clean and big. Plenty of room for lots of people.The pho is tasty and satisfying. The egg rolls were delicious I was very pleased with my meal each time I came in. I don't get anything specific or special. The pho there is great and the broth is tasty. Hours claim to be open to midnight, but I haven't tried that yet lol

Ok, their grand opening sign was on when I went house hunting in the nearby neighborhood back in June 2018 time to remove that sign and show that you're doing good since you're still open y'all! That sign is as tacky as having Christmas lights still on in the mid of July ‍That being said they got an improvised sign said they got Hue stuffs so I wanna give the place a try.Nice big, opened space restaurant AND even better, a smiling server greeting me yes!!!Now the deduction: when asked the server told me they got nothing Hue except for spicy noodle so spicy noodle (Bun Bo Hue) it is. The broth was alright, the noodle over cooked, the vegetables...Another deduction: I ordered Avocado shake and it was overly sweet.I would've give this place a two for nice server and be like, let's not be here again but I like to be a bit fair and order a couple dishes to go.This place is a 4 stars for me for their fried rice!!!! All that flavor --bbq pork, Chinese/Vietnamese sausage, onion, shrimp, carrot, green peas ...yes! On a drier rice too yay! I will come back for this.Other dish pending on review since I haven't even open the Togo bag: Bo Kho w Rice noodle, will revise if I remember

Ooooh! This restaurant hasn't been around too long and we'd been meaning to try it out. So glad we finally did. I wasn't feeling so hot and when that's the case, pho is the only thing that not only sounds good, but makes me feel better. A good pho broth is magical. Decided it was the perfect opportunity to try out Pho 18. We called in and picked up our order to go.Jon and I each ordered the #13, beef pho with eye of round (tai). Jon also got the #1, an order of fried egg rolls. I can't eat them being gluten free, but they certainly smelled incredible and had that perfect audible crispy crunch! Jon definitely enjoyed them. And we each loved our pho. The broth is beautifully aromatic and flavorful, and you get plenty of the good stuff... herbs, bean sprouts, sliced jalapeños, green onion. The noodles and steak were the perfect texture. I felt a lot better after this amazing lunch. We've found a new pho place to enjoy! We're still staying home as much as possible so we didn't get a chance to really experience Pho 18's ambiance or customer service, but it looked cute and clean from what we saw. And from calling in our order to picking it up, the staff was friendly and speedy!

I ate lunch (12 pm) here with my family. Upon arrival, there was no staff or customers in the restaurant. We waited a good 5 minutes, so we seated ourselves and waited till someone came out. About 5 minutes later the waiter came and gave us our menu. We ordered the banh beo, hu tieu, and pho bo.The banh beo was overcooked. The rice cake is supposed to be soft and moist, but the banh beo we recieved was very dry and difficult to eat. The fish sauce that they gave us was very poor quality. You can see in my picture that the banh beo was very very dry.The hu tieu was very salty. It was almost unbearable to eat. We had to "doctor" it in order for it to be edible.The pho was pretty good! I ordered a size large and it was LARGE. They had a good portion of meat and the broth was very flavorful!Overall, my experience was okay. The pho was pretty good, so if i do come back, it would be for the pho

I love Pho... I mean it is a craving I have probably one a week. I have searched and tried many places but I think i'm going to have to stop soon, because my disappointment only grows. The look of the place is 4, our service was a 5 but the food was a 2 at best. Egg rolls were perfectly cooked but left something to be desired in the flavor category. Spring rolls are chewy and lacked flavor but the peanut dipping sauce was some of the best I've ever had. The Pho was the real disappointment. Every component lacked depth and seasoning. But I will say this, there is a younger girl working there (I forget her name) but she had glasses, braces, and a big smile and she made the experience worth it. She alone had saved this review from being a 2. She was friendly, polite, prompt, and never stopped moving or working the entire time we were there. Her attitude was great and she really is an asset. I won't go back unless I decide to try to recruit her to come work for me.

New pho joint in Arlington.Food portion is huge and it came out pretty quickly.My niece ordered the chicken fried rice. She really enjoyed it. There was so much chicken and rice she ended up taking more than half of it home. I got the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I am pretty picky when it comes to the fish sauce that comes with this dish because most places water it down but here the sauce was flavorful and good. Chicken was nice and juicy. Will be back to try the pho!

The food was okay,,,until I noticed THIS in my soup yes,,,those are flies. Yes I am disgusted and revolted. My fathers food was good (so he said) and so was mine, until I noticed the dead gnats. The service was also pretty mediocre and there was a LACK of vegetarian/vegan options.

If you wanna try this place out, go for it but don't expect anything.My experience was beyond bad. Service: very rude middled-aged man, looked like the owner, never greeted us (expected for a Vietnamese restaurant). Yelled when talk on the phone as WHEN serve us food. Watched videos on phone with MAX VOLUME THE ENTIRE TIME, only stopped when we walked up to pay. Plus never care to check on us. WHAT? I don't know who the owner is or who trained him to work as a server, or he is the owner, but man, this business will go down the drain because of people like him.Food: bun bo hue, the worst among the other bun bo hue in the area. I dont expect good bun bo at a pho place but honestly, you just need to put more bun bo hue seasoning (sold at Ben Thanh market, next to you) and it will be so much better. Portion: the bun is less than the baby bun bo at Duc Chuong for your reference, 1 cha lua, 2-3 pork blood, 2-3 pork fat slices, didnt see any beef.Overall:Service: negativeFood: 0Place: 1 star for new.Why we didn't complain there? Because obviously the "server" didn't seem to care so why should we. I don't tolerate that kind of service. This review is for people who want to know what you might get when you go here.This place needs to hire some good cooks & servers to last. It's ok if the food is bad, but with portions and services like that, good luck keeping the business!Thank you for the bad experience!
