Pho 79

This was my first time trying pho 79 and it was fantastic. this is a very casual eatery with good attentive service. The menu was quite extensive, but the food is very delicious and the prices are reasonable.Even though it is on Eat Street it has a parking lot, which is great. I had the number eight pho and also tried the Mongolian spicy beef. Both were extremely flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be coming back here. The pho broth was delicious, even without any additions and the hoisin sauce and Sriracha only added to the depth of flavor it had. I also personally really appreciated that the pho did not come with cilantro!

A staple of the Minneapolis area. One of the go to spots for Vietnamese food! A small but mighty restaurant serving up some great classics. They have a friendly atmosphere, great food, lots of options & fair pricing. They have a decent parking lot that is easy to access and plenty of seating for a smaller location. Next time you hit up the como zoo make this your dinner spot!

Wonderful service, very friendly staff, free parking and authentic Vietnamese. Pho79 is not a pass but just a few things to consider. It's in uptown so traffic is a pain BUT they do have free parking for you! Really friendly folks overall and a clean looking place. Food itself was ok this time I am averaging my two visits and they come out to 3 stars. Rice was too wet, flavors on dishes were either too much (salty for squid) or not enough (hardly flavor for ginger fried veggies). I have eaten a lot of Vietnamese food so I feel I have a good handle on what it should taste like. Also the prices were quite aggressive. If you live in the area certainly worth a stop but Inwouldnt drive across town for this experience!

My search for my favorite pho place in Minnesota continues. The pho broth here was decent, but was missing something I can't quite put a name to. Perhaps it was depth of beef flavor in the broth that all the fish sauce could not fix. We also tried the five spice fried calamari and spring rolls. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. The spring roll was too soggy.Pho 79 has a tiny parking lot but you can also park on the street. We walked around to nearby shops after having lunch. Service here was super slow, and they also did a shady thing asking me to add tip up front to my bill. I've never been asked that before and wonder if they did that because they thought I wouldn't tip due to the poor service. It left me feeling very odd and I don't plan to return.

If i could give this place 10 stars i would. By far the best pho in MN. I am disappointed every time i go anywhere else for pho. Me and my friends had a habit of coming here nearly every weekend. We still are definite frequent customers there and i think about going probably at least once a week. The inside of the restaurant isn't overly cute or anything but that's not important. The staff is straight to the point but very nice. Their #19 is always my go to! With a side of cream cheese wontons because they are some of the best i've had. Their fried rice is also pretty damn good.anyone who asks me where to go to get pho, i tell them this place.

I came here the other night because I was craving some pho. This is my favorite pho place in the city. They have big, nice comfy booths and the waitress was very attentive. I have been coming here for many years and have tried others but this is my go to for sure it's right in Eat street and thy have a parking lot for easy parking. I really enjoy ordering the wonton wrapped jumbo shrimps as my appetizer before my pho. It comes with sweet-and-sour sauce on the side and I put chili oil in the sweet-and-sour sauce to spice it up a bit for dipping my shrimp.

Really friendly service! Lots of good choices! Food was delicious and good flavor! Loved the coconut boba and had #28 Bun Bo Hue. Very quiet place to eat. Very low key

Love love love the food they offer here. Everything I order in person or via online pick up is always so good.The only downside is that the place def needs a upgrade. It's very dated. Sometimes the tables, menus and floors are kinda sticky/gross. The service is okay, they are def very direct lol.

I travel from Florida to this place in particular! I am treated with such kindness every single time. 10/10 every single visit. I've never had something I disliked. Well kept & clean inside with tabletop sauces at hand & clean as well! Extremely fast service. This is my favorite place to take myself on a date bathrooms are clean & stocked. Staff is lovely & I can't wait to see them again! 1000/10

I've been frequenting this spot for close to 15 years. I originally went for the small lunch buffet. A handful of choices but all done excellently. However once I tried the Pho I had little reason to go for anything else. My go too is the #21 with egg noodles. Now I know you purists will say it's not Pho it's a Vietnamese soup. Whatever you call it it is heavenly! I love the complexity of flavors and the plate of aromatics you get to work into the soup. Hands down the best I have had anywhere in the twin cities. Crystal clear broth with a lovely oil slick that is bursting with flavor. As I said I always go for the soup but there entrees are also excellent too. Sesame chicken is a favorite of my kids. Ambience is severely lacking and it can feel a bit dingy inside but the food and service more than make up for that in my book.
