Pho Hut

I like coming here for lunch because their portions are big! I usually order a plain pho with all the fixings off the kids Menu and that does it for me. The staff is attentive and the young man who seats, serves and takes payment is always so polite and goes above and beyond. This is a Bakersfield staple, for sure.The only issue I have is the Bathroom. It's a little run down compared to the rest of the restaurant. They have an air powered hand dryer as opposed to paper towels. I can see the economical choice for this, however, I would prefer paper towels to open the door with after washing my hands instead of raw dogging the handle after washing.

Ugh. I was more than willing to skip writing a review and look pass the bland soup broth, flavorless chili oil, dirty table, and funky smelling bathroom, BUT then we had this experience:Our server (receipt says Pauline) was friendly , we were greeted upon entry, which I always appreciate. The real plants and minimal decoration gave the restaurant a cute vibe. I ordered a large veggie pho it was only $1 more than the regular. My sister ordered the large rare steak pho. We also ordered the chicken wings...which were more like teeny tiny chicken bone with a nibble bite size of dry shriveled meat on them (they came 20 minutes after we ordered). We politely asked to return the chicken wings. The server came back to us saying we had to pay 50% of the wings because they were already cooked. We did not argue, simply stated our disappointment, explained why we were returning the wings, and continued eating our pho. The bill came, and yes, we were charged $6 for wings we did not touch nor take away with us. Never have I ever experienced returning a food item and being told to pay half - even if I had already eaten some of the item. My hope is that the supervisor realizes what a rude concept that is, deducts that $6 charge and gives it to our server as tip. Not her fault the cooks are serving uneatable food. THE FOOD: Chicken Wings with fish sauce - DON'T YOU DARE. Smallest chicken wings I've ever seen. A few had strange discoloring. Very dry over cooked and shriveled. Upon looking at it, I dare not touch it. Sent back to kitchen, was still charged 50%. Veggie Pho - liked that there was fried and soft tofu, plenty of veggies. Broth was bland af. Didn't taste any kind of beef bouillon or seasoning. Had to use plenty of oyster sauce and sriracha to minimally enjoy the meal. Rare steak Pho - bland broth. Steak a bit overcooked.

Walked in at 7:24 I asked for a table for my kids and I and she tells me we're only doing to go orders. I drove 15 minutes to this place because we really like it but I'm pretty disappointed in their service tonight. I checked online before driving there and it says they close at 8pm! They should update their website to say they close at 7:20 pm, would have saved myself a trip.

The chicken pho was really good! The broth was flavorful, and the chicken was tender. Everything tasted fresh and came together really well. I'd definitely have it again!

Stop by for an earlier dinner. This place is one of Bakersfield's gems, no matter what the weather is outside. Service of staff are always great and attentive. The food has great flavor and is enough to fill that tummy up. I was definitely recommend this place and order the Number eleven (rare steak and meatballs).

Sorry but this place has gone down. Way down. Our food was very bland like they don't cook with salt. I was disappointed and sadly likely will not go back. The spring rolls were flavorless and the peanut sauce could not save it. The service was okay. Not friendly like it used to be. The place was not busy but clean. Hope y'all have a better experience than I did. Enjoy!

The wings looked terrible and came out ten minutes after our pho. I bit one and it was as bad as it looked. Completely overcooked and hardly any meat on them. After sending them back to the kitchen another staff came over to say that we would still be charged half price for them and did we still want to eat them... after they had been sent back and sitting in the kitchen for another 5 minutes? No thanks. The pho itself was generally bland. We knew we should have left when we got there and there were no sauces on the table... at a Vietnamese restaurant. Yikes. They were actually out of chili oil and only had store bought sriracha and hoisin sauce. I felt bad for the first server we had bc she was super nice, but the wing situation and lackluster customer service along with the bland noodles was a real disappointment. YOU'LL BE MUCH BETTER OFF AT PHO- VY

A great bustling restaurant with delicious Pho and Water! Their menu is filled with so many great things to order and i need a bahn mi in my life the next time i dine.

I haven't been here in a couple of years. And I'm very disappointed in the flavor of the Pho. I got filet mignon pho taste water down missing flavor on the broth and chicken pho flavor was just right but the chicken was not good also got a kids chicken with rice and No flavor on the chicken at all atleast sprinkle some salt. This place use to be the spot for pho. As for the service not once did they check on us. Ambiance was fine. Not sure if I'll try it again. Oh and they charge extra if you want basil for your pho. It use to come with your condiments for the soup. My kids did like the potstickers.

I absolutely love the pho here but that being said the service is atrocious. For a packed house they only have one server. Sometimes it literally takes 20 minutes to put your drink order in. So if you have time it's worth the terrible service:/
