Pho 79

I've come here several times and the food is always good. The staff is very nice, just keep in mind it's a classic no frills Asian restaurant where the food is so comforting, you know you'll come back again. I normally get the P4 (the one with all of the different meats in the pho). If you're not familiar with pho definitely don't be shy to put the garnishes (hand full of bean sprouts, ripped up Thai basil, and a squeeze of lime) and use the hoisin sauce and sriracha to dip the meat in, its worth a try!

As most know, I am on the search for that ever elusive "great bowl of Pho"After living here in Omaha for a few years, I have finally come to the conclusion that even a decent bowl of Pho doesn't exist here.My latest attempt was here at Pho 79.I have read the reviews, and I reluctantly went ahead and tried this restaurant. I wasn't expecting much but was ever so hopeful.A buddy of mine and I went in right at 5 when they opened. The girl inside told us we had to come back in 30 minutes because she wasn't ready yet, because she got there 45 minutes late.We waited 30 minutes and went back inside. We were sat at a booth and were the only diners in the place. We were given menus and we both ordered the same thing.P3 Pho with beef, brisket and meatballs, as well as spring rolls and the Thai iced tea.The tea was horrible. It is obviously from a packet. The Pho as fair, but the meat was very fatty. The mung bean sprouts looked liked they were left out for a few days, and were all brown. The Thai basil was not Thai and the jalapeños were bitter.Lastly, as we all know, Pho is only as good as its broth. This fell short. To make our dining experience worse, our host/waitress Alexis was constantly at our table. Not sure why, but none the less she standing there the whole time talking to us, complaining about her coworker not showing up. My buddy and I were trying to hang out and talk but couldn't because she was standing there.When she wasn't at our table, she was at another table eating and telling us how she was tired of it all and was going to shut down the restaurant. Others came in to sit and dine, but she would tell them that there would be no dinning in and she was only doing take out orders.When we were finished we went to leave, Alexis told us that she was waiting for us to leave so she could close, and she couldn't do it while we were there. Not very inviting.So... food I'll give 2 stars, 1 star for the attempt at Pho, zero stars for service.... I'm giving up finding Pho in Omaha, and can't honestly recommend Pho 79.I'll look in Lincoln, I hear there is a place there who makes a good Pho.

I got a take out order and for $14 (or maybe $15) the Grilled Pork, Egg, and Rice Combo left a lot to be desired.Pork- Portion was meh for the price, could used about 40% to feel like a good value and the flavor was good although the pork was a bit tough.Nuoc Mam- It's hard to mess up the accompanying fish sauce but this tasted ok. Couldn't put my finger on it but there are several other restaurants where this taste better.Overall, the portions were ok, flavors were ok, everything was just fine. Not super interested in going back, but if someone offered to buy me lunch here I wouldn't say no.

I love Pho. Just moved to Omaha and tried to find a new place. Got 2 of the 1P Pho TOGO. Just got home and it had 5 pieces of meat total each. Definitely will never be back and I urge everyone to try a different place. Paying $34 for 10 pieces of meat and rice noodles and broth is just wrong. Please don't waste your money

Love this place! Service is friendly and attentive. Kinda a hole in the wall but that's what makes it so great ! The food is FREAKING delicious! My rare beef pho today was so full of flavor. Perfect noodles.And the Vietnamese eggrolls are heavenly! Wrap it lettuce with some pickled daikon and carrots then dip in the spicy fish sauce. So good !!!! Can't wait to go back again

A great place in the Old Mill area if one is craving for some Vietnamese food.Their menu is pretty straight forward and the food is really good!The service is good the the staff are responsive. I highly recommend their grilled pork rice plates.

The food here was very good. I had the Pho Bo. Service a little slow but over all a good experience.

Food was delicious! We ordered egg rolls, the pork and fried egg plate, and shrimp pho. Everything came out quickly and was fresh and hot. Wait staff is kind and quick. We'll be coming back for sure!

Always love coming here. We took our niece and asked if each portion could be split in 2 (so she could have her own bowl for everything) and they said no problem.First time trying the bahn mi and it was really good so would recommend that. The bun bo hue and vermicelli w spring roll are always our staples and hit the spot

After reading some great reviews by other Yelp elites, I figured it was time to try Pho 79. This Vietnamese place did not disappoint!The flavor of the grilled pork in the grilled pork vermicelli bowl is phenomenal. The pork was perfectly cooked and just the right amount of fat. It was salty and acidic and umami and grilled.... everything really comes together in perfect symphony. And that's just the meat! It also comes with a large portion of vermicelli noodles, fresh vegetables, and a dressing for lack of a better term. Again, it hits all the right flavor points. It is a must-try dish.I ordered takeout this time, but I am planning to dine in the next time so I can try the pho.
