Tried the Bun Ca Tra Vinh. Delicious soup- the catfish is exceptionally tender and the spice is just enough.Takeout was fast and well packed, and I'd definitely try Pho Loan again for their unique viet dishes.

This is my first time to write reviews for this restaurant. It's a lot smaller than other restaurants in area. However, tables were clean and super friendly staff. My wife who ordered the Pho đặc biệt and she said it was delicious and the flavor just about right. However, my son who ordered the Bún bò Huế, according to him, the broth needs to have little more Mắm tôm, then that would make it perfect like homemade. I ordered #98 and the meat was perfect marinade, soft and tender. However, the fish sauce needs a reduce the salt a little bit. We would love to come back and try their other dishes near future.

3.5/5The waiter was very hospitable, which was the best part of the time. I got a pho and summer rolls. The rolls were okay - I think there was a disproportionate amount of noodles which made it taste rather starchy. The pho was also okay - the broth was clear which was nice but the flavor was not as deep. Honestly I appreciated the vibe and the hospitality, while the food was not as good as some other places. Would still recommend though!

If you're in argyle for some delicious pho please try Pho Loan! I highly recommend their Bânh Khot Vüng Tâu (crispy mini pancake with shrimp) it's ridiculously good! Their pho was decent! I feel like they gave us soooo much for a small size so you're going to get a good deal with your pho. They're also BYOB so I'll be bringing in some soju next time I come back!

There are lots of pho restaurants in the argyle area, but this is definitely a top location for me. The broth is always very delicious and the prices are competitive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for good pho!

There are a million Vietnamese places in Argyle but Pho Loan is our default place to go. Not because of pho - we actually found most pho in the rea amazing and couldn't tell much of the difference. The thing you should really order here is anything with a *charcoal-grilled pork chop*. Their perfectly marinated and grilled pork chop is the best we've had so far - sweet, moist, flavorful. They also have a bunch of interesting appetizers like the crispy mini pancake with shrimp and the rice rolls - not every Vietnamese restaurant offers thisSo, don't just order pho whenever you get Vietnamese food!ps: I do have to say that they seem to only offer bottled water (50c each I think) which is a bit strange. But not gonna stop me for getting those pork chops

The service here is below par, and the food doesn't make up for it. The restaurant owners had their two teenage sons serving us, and they did not make much effort. The restaurant was empty when we went, so they weren't busy. However, instead of providing good service, they were on their phones or wrestling with each other in the restaurant, and when they did talk to us, it was very unfriendly and curt. I don't think I would come here again.

Small Vietnamese corner restaurant but loaded with delicious authentic flavorFood:Pho - 5/5 - excellent savory but clear broth, fantastic cuts of meat, ideal textured rice noodles, fresh veggies Com tam 7 mon (broken rice with 7 sides) - 5/5 - delicious broken rice served with amazing delectable 7 types of protein with the grilled pork chop being the real standoutBanh canh cua (Crab udon soup) - 3.75/5 - only 2 crab meat balls, instead they gave shrimp sausage and snail sausage plus tofu and congealed pork blood Bun bo hue - 4/5 - very good spicy savory broth but not outstanding nor regards to the cuts of meat which could also be improved Hu tieu my tho - 5/5 - chewy textured tapioca noodles, clear savory broth, slices of tender pork, shrimp, squid/cuttlefish, fish balls and ***few slices of organ meat - definitely optional or try it if you're adventurous Bun rieu cua oc - 4.5/5 - not generous enough with crab nor snail; however the broth is deliciously savory and on-pointCanh bun - 3.75/5 - generous on the crab paste, but too stingy or not generous enough on the water spinach and pork meat... also the broth tasted too similar to bun rieu and this restaurant's version decided to put in tofu, congealed pork blood and tomatoes even though this is NOT supposed to be bun rieu!!!Bun tom cang - 3.5/5 - the prawns were unfortunately very small and so it was unimpressive even on a bed of rice vermicelli and veggies with fish sauce Bun thit nuong tom nuong - 5/5 - well done classic of rice vermicelli with grilled pork and grilled shrimp Canh chua ca - 5/5 - spectacular perfected Southern VN classic of sweet and sour soup with fish Ca kho to - 5/5 - amazingly delicious caramelized catfish, a popular southern VN classic dishSoda chanh muoi - 5/5Rau ma - 4/5 Sinh to bo/mit/dau - 4.5/5Banh bot loc - 4/5 - good but not outstanding Banh khot - 4.5/5 - the restaurant's own spin... doesn't have the classic yellow turmeric Ambience:Seating enough for smaller parties Service:Mediocre; but no complaints just that there's no itemized receipt***

The service was standard. I do want to highlight that they served a bottle of water instead of a cup of water. Parking is easy after 6PM, as everything is free. Overall, the food was GOOD. The dishes I ate were:[4/5] Dishes ---#94 | Com Tam Loan Dac Biet 7 Mon Classic Vietnamese dish with the several different types of meat you can get with the dish. It is a good value to try the different proteins you can get. I thought the highlight was the pork chop and nem nuong was the most savory. The rice was a bit drier than to my liking, but good dish overall. You'll be able to taste what pork skin and the other specialty meats taste like. I enjoyed it and thought it was on par with the other local restaurants. [3/5] Dishes---#13 | Tom Chien BotTasty and crunchy. I may have liked it overall because the sweet chili sauce is good, but I imagine that you can buy any fried shrimp and dip it in that suace (likely store bought) and get it to taste as good. The size was moderate, as expected of an appetizer.Overall the place is good. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. #94 is definitely worth a try if it is your first time here!

I was planning on where to eat lunch prior to the Lunar New Year celebration event on Argyle Street, and randomly discovered this Vietnamese place. It's right on Argyle St in the Lunar New Year parade's marching direction. The waiter kindly allowed me to change my table to the one closest to the street where I could watch the event while I was there eating lunch:)I got one of the Broken Rice dishes called "Com Tam Loan Dac Biet 7 Mon". It's an assorted platter with 7 food items. I'm not sure why it's called broken rice, as the white rice tasted no different. Other than that I really enjoyed this dish. I like to have bite size of everything. The grilled pork chop was especially flavorful and juicy. The soup was complimentary which was also good. Loved the delicious Asian sausage too!The downside of this restaurant is that it's quite small. It's pretty packed on the Saturday noon I was there. However the waiters were efficient, I was able to be quickly seated and I didn't wait too long before my food was served.I recommend this great place if you want to visit somewhere similar to Chinatown! This is one of the many Asian restaurants in the area. The area is full of Asian culture so I guess that's why the Lunar New Year celebration was held. It's also very close (within walking distance) to the Red Line train station.
