Pho Tower

As soon as we stepped in the woman at the bar warned us that they were busy and food was going to take awhile unless it was Pho. We appreciated her honesty (there was a concert at the Uptown across the street and that's why they were busy). We did order the Pho and it hit the spot on a cold winter night. We actually got our order pretty quickly. While there the place was packed but the noise was tolerable. we could hold a conversation without having to yell. We'll be back.

I've eaten at Pho Tower a few times and in my experience, the key to pho is the broth. One other thing I've noticed is that Vietnamese places focus on fresh vegetables, and both the broth and veggies are on point here. I hosted a close friend here who's a foodie, and he agreed that it's very good eating.I also look for places where the prices are affordable so they're not trying to gouge individual guests, in other words they sell to a big enough volume of people that they get enough demand to stay in business without overcharging, so I don't break my budget.Pho Tower is located a little north of Westport, near Redemptorist Catholic church on Broadway. The ambiance is unremarkable, but fine for the location. It's also walking distance from the Uptown Theater.I've eaten at the counter and in my few visits the service was a bit more attentive there than at table. It definitely gets busy here.I found street parking ample, and if you visit in the non-busy times, I've found parking very close, plus there's a big lot across Broadway.My favorite aspect of Vietnamese cuisine is how healthy it is (on top of being quite tasty, like Chinese). Pho Tower: Very recommended!

I have gone to Pho Tower (previously iPho Tower) numerous times. My go to order is either the chicken curry with a side of soup broth and fresh spring rolls or special combo bahn mi with the same side! They also offer these with tofu as protein which makes everything vegetarian/vegan, including the soup (as they offer vegetable broth too).Based upon my experiences and recent visit on 11/19/2024:Food: 5/5The taste, amount, and heat of everything were perfect to my likings. Atmosphere: 4/5A good spot to grab a meal with family or friends. They also offer drinks as they have a bar. It is in midtown, so the it is conveniently located. It has relaxing vibes!Service: 4/5It was nice and servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They will remember you if you become a regular. Matcha: N/A

On a cold day there is nothing better than a hot bowl of seafood Pho! Theirs is the very best I had to bring my cousin from Mn to try it! She was so excited to because of all the talk I have done over this place! She loved it! We had the spring rolls and calamari to start. Very good! I love the safe very nice and accommodating!

Decided to come here to eat lunch. I ordered a combination pho, and they hooked it up! I'm so full! Their service is so good. I got seated right away, food came out super fast and before I finished my food my To go order was ready! I ordered 4 pho to go, too for my family! Waitress is super nice and was so pleasant. She was just so happy and easy to talk to. Music was also pretty good! I was vibing while eating by myself. I should come here more often! We'll, back to work I go!

Nice folks, pho was nicely flavored. Skimpy on beef, but that seems to be the norm hereabouts. I know beef's expensive, but I'd rather pay a couple bucks more for a decent amount of beef.

We came in for a quick "snack" Ordered a few appetizers. All were fresh and delicious. Plus, all were $10 each. Can't get that anywhere else in this economy. Service was great. All servers were very attentive and friendly. They have street parking and parking lot next to the bar. I will definitely back to try other items on their menu, like pho and banh mi. On Thursday, you can get banh mi and for BOGO for $3

I often get their seafood pho to go, I ask for spiciness to go and they give me a chili paste that makes the broth so delicious. They give plenty of seafood to go in the box and are always ready promptly and kind.

Party of ten, seated in the back behind curtain with storage. FUEL meatball pho was delicious. ATMOSPHERE struggle space with boxes of product, yet cleanish...? On positive side the wall art was cute with musicians & Hollywood icons. SERVICE great service even tho they told us their POS system went down after we ordered. Overall, food was tasty. The rest of the vibe is debatable. I recommend if your don't mind boxes as your neighbor. Lol

It was a Saturday in July and all my 20 year old daughter wanted for her birthday was Phó. I kid you not when I tell you that every other phó restaurant in the city was closed this day! On our FOURTH attempt looking for an open Vietnamese restaurant, we finally found this place. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. The pork buns were exceptional! The only complaint from our group was from the person that ordered the chicken curry. From someone that loves spicy food, the curry was a little over the top spicy for them. It wasn't our absolute favorite phò in the city, but it was pretty darn close and we really enjoyed our experience.
