Pho Real

We've been in person but I am SO thrilled Pho Real is finally available on DoorDash! Zionsville has had no Vietnamese delivery options for years so of course we ordered right away! Everything was packed securely and delicious as ever. Pho, tofu banh mi, and pad kee mao are all delicious. My only feedback is that it would be nice to be able to choose spice level, and though ordering extra sauces is available, there are no options to choose from and no comment field to note which sauce you'd like.

Coming down with a respiratory illness calls for ordering comforting soup (delivered, of course). This was my first time ordering from Pho Real. I ordered the veggie pho, shrimp tom yum, and tofu banh mi.Veggie pho was delicious and came with a generous amount of bok choy, broccoli, and carrots. The shrimp tom yum was my favorite since it had a kick of medium spice; however I wish it came with more shrimp since I only had 2 in my bowl. The tofu banh mi exceeded my expectations since the baguette was soft and fresh. I was also excited that the tofu was crispy instead of soggy, especially since it was a delivery order.

Good flavors and fast service. The spring rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce was on point! I ordered the Phò Special.... the broth was flavorful and the meats were flavorful and tender.The only reason for 4 starts was that the broth wasn't hot enough. It needs to be steaming and it was a little warmer than lukewarm. Easy fix though!I will return!

I was driving to an event, and wanted a quick light dinner. Pho Real popped up, and I was able to call in a to-go order. They said it would be done in 10-15 min so that was perfect. The restaurant, is in a little strip mall. The food was hot and ready when I got there, which I appreciated.From the pun: Pho Real, I would have thought it was a Vietnamese Restaurant. They also have Thai and Laotian dishes. I thought the Vermicelli was a Vietnamese Bun Thit Noung dish. It is not what I was expecting. Instead of a fish sauce, there was a sweet and sour sauce. The protein was a bit salty for my taste. I could have used some additional veggies, the Vietnamese dish normally has pickled carrots and daikon. This dish did not. The mint was a little wilted, I could not tell if it was like that before or because it came in contact with the hot meat. The egg rolls were good, and I liked that it had fair amount of nuts. If I was in a pinch near by, I would stop by. But not something to go out of my way to try.

Pho Real is very close to are home and on our families daily commute but we strangely have only tried their food twice: once with a friend for a dine in experience and the second was this week for a carry out option. Perhaps it's the dark grey strip mall location? I'm unsure but I thought swinging by on our way home would be convenient. The restaurant itself is very clean, tables are set up with yummy sauces and arranged in many different configurations for multiple guests needs. I asked for a menu to order food to go, but I can't say the waitress was all that helpful or friendly. After reviewing our options, we settled on chicken fried rice, steamed dumplings, and an order of crab rangoons. I asked the waitress if I could make a substitution for one of their house specialties (omit red onion) and she stated "No, all of them are premade". That's an odd response considering she didn't even ask which one I was interested in or try to help me find something else to enjoy. Either way, what we did order did not disappoint. The fried rice was well seasoned and a large portion while the dumplings were wonderful & came with a delicious sauce. Maybe I will try this place again next time and hope for a bit better service. Update then!

Amazing food, staff is very kind and friendly. Was there last week and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I have just left this restaurant is shock. - the waiter was friendly and had a great attitude. Never got a name but he was a taller fellow 6ft, short hair, and glasses. Had a good attitude but we noticed something he was doing after we received our food. He was cleaning up a table from across the store and we noticed he stood there for a minute before cleaning up the plates. This is when we realized that he was EATING THE LEFTOVERS from the customers that were just THERE. We were left in horror watching this gentleman eat leftover food. We felt instantly nauseated watching him chew food that other customers left behind. - the Pho my partner had was great according to her, but unfortunately there was a hair that was stuck on the inside of the bowl. My fried dish that had chicken and shrimp and vermicelli was alright. The noodles weren't cooked all the way and were chewy. The fried rolls had pork in it that tasted gamy, I cook a lot of fresh meats and the pork tasted very close to being expired. The boba that we received at the END of the meal was hot. So at the bottom of the boba the cup was hot and the top was cold with ice, so when you would drink from it you would get warm mango juice. Also, the boba and mango drink had separated liquids 5 minutes after we left the restaurant (I will include a picture). - we wanted to leave and get a refund but we gave the restaurant a chance and ultimately it failed us. I hope others see this post as a warning that if you come here you may have your leftover food eaten and hair in your plate of food. I hope the manager of the restaurant reaches out to me after this experience.

The location is less than ideal as it's kind of tucked off and in a weird strip mall, but I'm so glad my friend recommended us check this out! I don't care too much about the outward appearance but if this center got a little glow up, I feel like business would be even better!Anyway, I always get the rare beef pho and it is SO good. I'm always craving this when the weather starts to get chilly so we visit quite a bit. Usually for takeout but we have dined in a few times and the service has always been really great. My husband is more adventurous with the menu and has tried a few other things that he enjoyed, but I really only go for the pho and the crab Rangoons. Now that I'm writing this review, I think I want some pho for dinner!!

Pho real is easily our favorite Pho spot in town! The food is always incredible and the service is always just as great. We love the friendly atmosphere and getting pho 3 and the spring rolls. It's easy to see that pho real is passionate about offering great, fresh food and I'd recommend it to anyone! Especially on a rainy or cold night!

The tofu fried rice is great. Great flavor and was hot and fresh. The tofu was bland but the rice seasoning made up for it. Also got the vegetarian eggrolls. The sauce that comes with them is phenomenal! I'll go back
