Pho Social

This restaurant was very nice looking, rather nicer than I anticipated actually. I took my daughter there for a girl's night and for her very first pho experience. She's got a whole thing with chicken broth right? She's obsessed with the chicken soup that her dad makes with a homemade stock and we mistakenly thought that she'd like ramen based on that but it was a total miss. So I said to myself, PHO will be it. And friends, it was. This was a great first experience. The pho ga was delicious, we got a boba drink to share along with it (strawberry lychee, very nice). Kind of pricey, but it's Easton and we shared everything so not too hateful. Our server was sweet, he hooked my kid up with some of the popping boba on the side, which she loved. All in all, I'd go back. Give them a try.

Yeah, four stars, I agree.Now, the service for our group of 11 was great. Five stars for that. They marked off the tables with "Reserved" signs. They didn't look too bummed when a few of our original group of 15 couldn't make it because of the horrible weather. They didn't get any orders wrong, even checking a couple of them to make sure they got them right. The food came out sooner than we expected. They split the bill happily and with ease, without mistakes. Even though they added an automatic 18% gratuity because our group was larger than six, I felt the service was worth a few extra bucks, and I tipped some additional. Great, all y'all.The food was very good. Great? Not quite. Very good, though. I had the Curry Chicken. It was tasty, with delicious chicken chunks and yummy French bread to soak up the soup. Could have used a fork and knife because they impolitely large, but yum. The onions were varied, with some strident and some smooth. I prefer smooth in curries. And they were kind of big, too. As were the potatoes. Big. Nevertheless: get that. And a knife and fork.My wife got Rice with Grilled Beef and Egg. I think she won, except for the daikon. I don't understand daikon, which doesn't seem like food to me, which is why I didn't order it - though I would have gotten it with tofu. But the beef was perfectly spiced and perfectly done, and the rice was good. A bit more fat and gristle than she prefers, but this IS a Vietnamese restaurant. And the portion was plenty big enough that sorting these annoyances out didn't short her meal in any way - plenty left for lunch next day. Get that.We got Fried Egg Rolls as an appetizer. Very tasty, flaky, with good sauce accompaniments. The red one is reported by my wife to be hot, though I didn't think so. The clear one is vaguely, pleasantly sweet. Get that. I'm going to try to talk her into the steamed variety next time, though, which is my preference and raved about at the other end of the table. The table got saki for dessert. It wasn't outstanding. Some wished it had come out hot, but I like cool saki better. Each to their own. I got a mango bobo, which was fine. It had mango chunks along with the requisite mysterious yummy spheres. It also had a lot of ice, which hampered chasing down any goodies with either the straw or the spoon. I gave up, particularly because the ice watered it down to a disrespectful level after several minutes.The store is very pretty and comfortable. The staff seems to like each other a lot, and worked together well, joshing lightly. We didn't check out the bathrooms. Parking is right across the street.Go there.

We came here for a family member's birthday, and it was a good time! The food came out quickly and the service was nice! I was happy to see there was a vegan pho option and more vegetarian-friendly options in the noodle section of the menu. To start, I had the mango bubble tea, which they were able to do with popping pearls, which was great. I would have wanted it to be slightly less sweet, so I asked to do it 50% sweetness, but they said that it's pre-prepared, so the sweetness is one level. It was still good! I ordered the vermicelli noodles with tofu, and they were able to sub out the fish sauce for peanut sauce, which is my favorite sauce. I enjoyed it, and there was plenty for a second meal. I also ordered the veggie egg rolls, which were very tasty! The chili sauce that comes with it is very spicy, so I just ended up dipping it in the peanut sauce, and I didn't mind at all! Since this location is in Easton, there is plenty of parking, and it was nice to go for a little walk around afterwards.

Service didn't start out on a good foot. They handed me the menus instead of the guy who showed us the table. I didn't think much of it...The soup spoons were dirty. The pho was a bit overpriced even when adjusted for location. The basil we were given was wilted (included picture) on both plates for our table. I didn't see much difference between the regular and small bowls except broth. The amount of noodles seemed the same.

Good not great.Oh, you want more? Okay. I should have known this would be a bit of a disappointment, despite the good reviews. Pho, at Easton. Anything at Easton, honestly- high rent and nouveau riche, plus horrible parking. But on this day with I think the first frost, pho sounded appropriate, and I was going to Costco so it was close.Easy parking on a weekday, big lot near Istanbul and other Easton landmarks was almost full but I found a space not too far away. Great service. Seriously, it wasn't super busy but it felt like each table had its own server, and mine was great. There when I needed her, but not too often. Helpful and friendly.The food... was fine. Good, even. But we have lots of pho places in town, and most are better than this, for less. This place is fancier, to be sure, and has a slick bar. But you don't need fancy for pho, and honestly I've never had pho at a fancy place, just neighborhood places. Fancy pho? Like fancy barbecue and fancy fried chicken, it never works out well.I didn't quite get pho here, went with the sate noodle soup. Broth, vermicelli, meat, veggies. Super fresh veggies, in it and of course on a plate to add. I also added hoisin and sriracha, just a bit. The broth, I assume the same as for the pho, was just okay. Not full of flavor, like some. Good enough, but disappointing when I've had much better. I got beef, and there was plenty, thin and tender. The noodles were good, and a nice change from pho noodles.I also got a banh mi and figured I would take it for later, but I was hungry and the portions weren't huge, of soup or banh mi. That was better- perfect ratios of ingredients, great balance of flavors and textures. Pretty skimpy on the meat, though.If Thai or Vietnamese tea is on a menu I get it, because it's always good, and kinda rare. (Same with rib tips and burnt ends, for me, anyway.) This was rich and strong and sweet and mmm. Almost took another star off for the awful "new country" muzak. At a pho place.Listen, it's fine. And if you're not interested in the other options at Easton, definitely stop in. But we have better in town, for less, so if you really want good pho, check someplace else out.

Tasty and great service. The location is right there in the middle of everything in the eastern area. The ambience is relaxing and clean and interesting. There are other things to have here other than pho for those who don't want only yummy Vietnamese soup.

This was my first visit to a Vietnamese restaurant soI really didn't know what to expect. We were at Easton and were going to eat at Coopers Haw but would have had to wait for three hours. Not acceptable. So we went walking g and looking for someplace to eat and passed Pho. The good thing is that it was empty and we were really hungry. So we went in.It was a good choice. The servers were nice and tolerated my complete ignorance about Vietnamese food. They have good suggestions and so I took their word for it we for efff rolls - the tiniest egg rolls o have ever seen but they were sooo good! Then I got rice with shrimp. I thought it was going to be like the standard shrimp fried rice that we all get at Chinese restaurant but this was rice with great big grilled shrimp on the side. They were delicious!!! The server kept coming to check on us to see if we were enjoying the food - and we definitely were. The restaurant was not fancy; no special ambiance can be claimed. It's not a place to take someone for a romantic date. But the food was wonderful and the prices were just as good!! It was at Easton so there was plenty of parking which was good because it was raining. The restaurant has a bar but we didn't take advantage of it. The food portions were small but we got filled up! I liked this place. I will be going back!!

Quiet venue with great food. Always enjoy my visit. Pho was tasty. I ordered the small beef. They provide just the right amount of condiments. The amount of noodles were perfect for the size. Very attentive wait staff.

Quick and easy pho experience for lunch. Had a great time introducing coworkers to pho.
