I've been coming to Pho Empire for 6 years, but after my last two experiences, I'm never coming back. In October, I ordered the K2 and found mold on my tofu (see picture below). That should have been my sign to stop coming, but I gave them another chance. Today, I ordered the K2 again and found a bug in my food. I was so grossed out I couldn't even take a picture--I just wanted it off my plate.It's really disappointing to see how much the quality and cleanliness have gone downhill. I don't know why I came back after the mold incident. Absolutely unacceptable. I won't be making this mistake again.

So I grabbed some coworkers to go for lunch and this place was busy, and like they say whenever it's busy during lunch you know that the food is good. And it really was, the pho was very flavorful with plenty of meat, I didn't like the fact that they just brought one plate of beans sprouts with jalapeños for our table. I requested my own and they compiled with no issue. Their banh sandwich was just OK. It was my first time trying it and I probably do not need to try it ever again. Their service was just OK as I felt we waited to long to get our food. Probably not the best spot to go to if you only have a one hour lunch, which was a disappointment.

Went at 8pm on a Tuesday night. I should've known the quality wasn't going to be good because I saw not a single Vietnamese person eating. Service was quickWe got the spring rolls, pho empire and a bun bo hue. The spring rolls- came with cha Lua (pork roll/ham) and not the traditional pork bellyThe pho empire- according to my bf, he said "tasted like soup to me" The bun bo hue- 2/10 stars. It was so bland and had zero flavor. I had to ask the waitress to bring me fish sauce so I could add it to my broth. Just judging by the color of the broth; I knew it wasn't going to be good. $32 for all 3. I probably won't be coming back, at least not for the bun bo hue.

One of the worst Pho I've ever eaten. Being from Cali and eating Pho for over 50 years I can honestly rate this having eating Pho from California to New York and most states in between to include Hawaii. I ordered the steak and brisket pho and an order of spring rolls and egg rolls and I was highly disappointed.The pho broth flavor was very bland no flavor to the taste. The color of the broth was murky in color. The spring rolls and egg rolls was subpar at best. Honestly I can make a much better spring rolls and egg rolls. One of the worst in the DFW. The only thing that I can honestly say positive is the pricing is fair comparatively tkbother pho restaurants in the DFW. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

This is a great place for Vietnamese pho in Irving. The service is very slow though so make sure you have time for your meal. I always enjoy the pho, che, bbh, spring rolls.

Been going here for years, always getting the same things... pho... shrimp spring rolls... bun. Two visits ago I tried one of their Chef's Specials--Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt (S82). REALLY good! Personally I was not a fan of what I guess were the steamed rice sheets--thick slippery rice noodles that were clumped together--and might see if they can use the vermicelli noodles next time. Today I reverted back to bun, specifically Bún Đặt Biệt (V1). Portion size was huge; took half home. The "charbroiled" chicken was my only complaint... it didn't feel like charbroiled chicken I've had in bun before. Even though it wasn't, it felt more like rectangular cubes of cut up, processed chicken breast. Service is always efficient and atmosphere is nice.

I was hoping I would enjoy this place, but not all was bad, the place is nice looking, clean and nice servers,but my Pho was just plain boring and bland, is there anything as overcooked noodles? Some of the protein was very gamey. The tendon was thick and very chewy, trust me I love tendon, this was just beyond chewy, the soup base was waaaay off, no flavor whatsoever and no matter how much Sriracha, lime and other condiments, I just could not fix it. On the bright side the Speing rolls were good but even that had hiccups, shell on the Shrimp, so yeah had some spitting out to do. If this is the best in Irving, you can stay there.

Casual dining. Lots of tables, no wait time when I went on a Saturday evening. Server takes order at the table, but pay at the front kind of place. Bun Bo Hue (3.5/5) was alright. Not something I would order again, but I can see others enjoying more since it's not spicy. Papaya salad w/shrimp (4.5/5) was my favorite item. It had good sauce and crunch. Enjoyed a lot. C20. Grilled Beef Lemongrass on Steamed Rice (3/5): my partner ordered this and was not impressed. I found the beef seasoned wayy too sweet. Rice came out shaped in a heart which was cute. The small cup of broth with this dish was eh as well. Service was fine, no complaints. Refilled iced tea.Overall, a 3.75 place bumped to 4 because of large menu. I can see myself returning for the papaya salads if in the area. The menu is huge too, so I can also see myself returning to try another entree if other places are closed, like the fried rice (neighboring table ordered that and portions looked huge).

Last minute decision to get pho near the airport after a long flight. This was nearby and ended up being a great find. Portions were larger than expected. Drinks were great. The severs brought over extra hot chilis and veggies. Very clean restaurant and nice ambiance. The staff was friendly and patiently answered a lot of our questions. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a LARGE bowl of pho.
