Pho and Poke House

4.5 stars Solid bowl of Pho!! No complaints except for the lack of sauces on the table but could've probably requested some. BIG bowl full of broth and was very healing and refreshing. I enjoyed the pay at the counter and sit down & eat style rather than having it be a whole sit down restaurant with service. Solid bowl of pho if you're looking around for some!!!

My friend and I decided to come here for lunch. I ordered the com tam with chicken and my friend got the beef pho. The meal came out quickly and the workers were friendly. The portion sizes were generous and I enjoyed my meal. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were crispy and fresh. My only complaint was that the fried egg had a solid/fully cooked yolk (would have preferred it to be runny), but aside from that the meal was great. I want to come back to try the poke bowls!

Bun Bo Hue needs some shrimp paste and chili satay; then it's very good. Being it in Durham, this is very good already. Broken rice is ok. If I don't compare to the real Com Tam, then this dish is good. If you ask me if this is a true Com Tam, then answer is "no". Just copy and paste the name to Google. You see what I mean. Never the less, it would eat it again when I want some rice and grilled pork. Please give Vietnamese customers more condiments like shrimp paste or fish sauce on tableAll in all, I will come back!

Atmosphere: (don't let this drive you away) while the out door seating is very pleasant, the indoor seating of this place is very cafeteria-esc. The owners young daughters toys seem to be everywhere, however this place was built for takeout I believe.Food: the food is good, they have lots of options, and they will give you decent portions. I only had one time where the tuna was super fishy, but you can just stay away from that. I go here almost every time I'm in Durham. Service: the cashiers are typically nice, sometimes they seem grumpy but over all I've never had a bad experience. And I'd be grumpy too if I was doing that and Grubhub orders at the same time. Side note- the picture with the red tray is from January and the picture with the close up white bowl is from March so they have started giving smaller portions.

After a long day watching Avatar 2 we needed some dinner to regain our energy from the long affair. Given the cold we decided to get Pho, and so we went to one of the few options available in Durham. The Pho itself is fine, it'll do the trick if it's what you want, but you'll be able to find better elsewhere.Travis' RatingTaste - 3Quality - 3Ambiance - 2.5Overall - 3Isabel's RatingTaste - 3Quality - 2.5Ambiance - 3Overall - 3

This is by far the best Pho in Durham. It's also one of the better bowls of Pho in the Triangle. The broth is well-balanced with a beefy and herby taste. The selection of meat is my least favorite part but they do use quality cuts of meat, from the meatballs to the steak. My only complaint is that sometimes there's no tendon. Overall, a great bowl of Pho! Also, I enjoy the way this place works. You place your order at the front and they bring it out to you.

Food was delicious! The ordering process was difficult. The online ordering platform didn't work and ordering by phone was challenging due to language barrier, but it was worth the effort!

Finally, Durham has a pho restaurant.I cannot attest to the 'Poke', aka Hawaiian sushi salad. But, the pho is great. Not the best pho I've ever had, but very solid and definitely a spot that I will likely frequent. The broth is tasty and the quality of the beef in the pho is great. Not too many noodles, but just the right amount, which makes navigating the ingredients easy. It's semi-table service, an odd location, but a decent atmosphere. They bring out the food and bus the table for you, but drinks and anything else are self serve. I also get the spring rolls, with shrimp and pork, and those are pretty good as well, the sweet chili sauce for dipping is the perfect compliment to the roll. Staff are polite and service is reasonably quick, it's all cooked to order. Definitely worth a try for anyone who hasn't had pho yet, or people who love pho, especially on sick days or mornings after you might have had a little too much to drink

Had the chicken pho takeout. Good portions, good quality meat and good portion size. Will be back for weeknight takeout.

This place is definitely a family owned restaurant that did NOT disappoint. I ordered Vegetable Pho and added chicken: the broth was well seasoned and delicious, they used good quality vegetables and they did not skimp on the portion. The service was fast and the restaurant was clean, no complaints!
