Pho 1

Decided to eat here since it was close by and opened before 11am. Should have trusted my instinct and stay away. We had a party of 6 and were the only ones there. They were nice and welcoming at first but don't know why that change?? Gave us menu, and didn't come take order until about 10 mins later. We all ordered pho and it came out pretty quick. Broth was pretty bland and noodles felt like they were not cooked. Portion was pretty small compared to a lot of pho places. No one came to ask if we needed anything. There was an older lady that came to take the condiments right off my kids table and reached over them and their food without saying anything. That was pretty rude. Total was over $90 and we still tipped them 15%. We asked for a small Togo box and the younger girl gave us a weird "ugh" kinda smirk before giving us the box. Won't be back here if we are ever in town again.

I tried the grilled pork vermicelli rice noodles with egg roll. The description from their menu: served with bean sprouts, lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots, daikon's crushed peanuts, and house sweet chili sauce.I'm not a fan. I expected the dish to be hot hot, like Thai noodles, but it was cold. The small egg roll was hot. There was a large clump of noodles stuck together. I won't be back

I've been trying out a lot of pho restaurants in the area and this was one of them. It's a small and cozy restaurant. Staff were nice too. I ordered the pho and egg rolls.The egg rolls were cheaper than most places so that's a huge plus. Portion size of the pho was good too. Quality could have been better. It had a decent portion of broth but meat and noodle wise it could use more.

This place was okay. Their egg rolls were definitely not homemade- it tasted like the frozen store bought egg rolls. Their Thai Tea was too thick and too sweet, it's like calling for diabetes asap. Their pho was mediocre. Not much of a portion. Service was kind of aggravating the way they talked to us. Inside is pretty small could probably sit 20 or less.

This is really more of a 3.5 but I'm being generous. More of a fast food vibe. Counter service which is fine. There were a few patrons coming in and out as I dined in.The Vietnamese pho special broth is a bit more ginger and star anise than I prefer. But again that's a preference. The meat was definitely tough but still edible. The spring rolls had a lot of greenery but again with the sauces they have on the table to include chili sauce it was good. What I venture out of my way to come back here again? Probably not but if you're in the area it's decent.

The food was delicious! I got the crab rangoons and fried dumplings and I will definitely be coming back to get them again!

Pho 1 offers excellent Vietnamese cuisine in a casual setting. It's a small shop in a strip mall anchored by Publix. There are about 10 tables, and on this Saturday night it was packed. Service was a little strained because there was a large party. Food is served quickly. We started with Goi Cuon (spring rolls) - beautifully rolled shrimp and pork rolls lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, basil, cilantro wrapped in rice paper, accompanied by traditional peanut dipping sauce. All of the ingredients are fresh and crisp, and the flavors well balanced. The sauce is on the thin side, which means you have to dip more often. A minor nit - if the appetizer is to be shared, plates are needed. It's impossible to eat one of these without spillage! Next is the special beef pho. A traditional size (BIG) bowl of flavorful beef broth, brimming with sliced beef, halved meat balls, tendon, tripe and brisket, a ball of thin rice noodles, topped with scallions and sliced onions. Bean sprouts, cilantro, basil and sliced jalepenos are served on the side. The pho was very good, though the noodles were a little soggy. We also tried the Banh Mi Chay. A beautifully prepared sandwich stuffed with seasoned tofu, cucumbers, pickled carrots and cilantro and a house made mayo. The bread is just ok, but the rest of the ingredients are spot-on and tasty. Pho 1 is a great choice to satisfy that Pho craving. Recommended.

Pho was a bit bland. Service was fast and food pipping hot though. Ambiance was typical plaza style set up.

Well I finally found a Pho place near my new job in Pinellas Park. I had not had Pho for a month, since I stopped working in Tampa and going to Fusion Bowl almost weekly so it was time to check out the Pinellas spots within driving distance of the new job.I checked out the menu in advance, and when I walked in I just went up to the counter and ordered. Normally, you sit and they bring a menu out to you. I knew I wanted the beef pho. Mmmmmm, it is good. I like that they have a spice tray on each table so you can add the right amount of spice to your bowl of goodness. The one complaint I had is that there was some cleaner or air freshener they were using and I could basically taste it every time I opened my mouth. In the future, I might order it to go and not eat in the restaurant because it was pretty strong. Other things I saw that I would want to try in the future is the pho burrito and some of their blended fruit drinks. I love fruity beverages and they make smoothies and slushies and other items as well.

Very plain inside. Pho was typical and good. Rare beef was very clean and surprisingly generous portion. The plastic Chinese spoon is jokingly small Menu photos on Yelp prices very out of date. .
