Pho Tan

Amazing pho!!!Like definitely not in a great area. In a rundown shopping center, but like let me tell you the food phenomenal. I had the vegetarian pho. It was so good so flavorful so fresh.

This pho place was recommended by my wife. Since we are in the area, we decided to have the lunch here. She has good experience with them. But her revisit show that they are not improving and actually feel they take a step back. We got the skirt steak rice dish. The steak is not soft and tender. The sauce is good. At least this dish is good. The second dish is the tan special pho. The pho base is a bit American taste. The meat is quantity is average less. Overall the price is a bit more expensive compared to the demographic that can afford.

The physical location is definitely lacking in luster, but I haven't had better pho in Lakeland than theirs. Ordering to go from here is my go-to when that vietnamese craving hits. The grilled chicken spring rolls are fresh, crisp, and quite delicious. Make sure to ask for chili paste to pair with them, in addition to the peanut sauce. The pho is rich in collagen and flavor. They could throw in a bit more cilantro and white onion, but they didn't skimp on the bean sprouts, jalapeños or limes. I'll definitely be ordering again but can't say I would ever dine in.

Prompt: hole in the wall restaurant in a slightly sketchy area. Answer: Pho Tan. Conclusion: an amazing place to go that should not be overlooked!!Any true foodie knows that hole-in-the-wall restaurants that are super unassuming from the outside always turn out to have the best food. Pho Tan is a case in point. You'd never expect much from them just passing by, but that's exactly where the mistake is made!Their food is pretty simple, but they do it well. I love pho and they make it how it should be (in my opinion). I usually get a simple chicken or shrimp pho, and it's loaded with carrots, broccoli, snap peas and other veggies along with the protein. So not only is the meal delicious, but it's soo healthy too!The steamed dumplings and spring rolls are on par too, and I am just so happy to have this little place nearby to frequent. It's definitely a locally owned business so the service can be a little slow because there aren't many workers. So don't expect a quick trip but do remember it's totally worth the wait!!

Looks a little shady on the outside but totally different on the inside. Service was great, helpful and food came out fast. The food and drink was better than expected. The coconut water was delicious and they even open the coconut to eat the meat.

Excellent food at a fair price! Wide range of menu options. Take out and eat have been used over the past few years. Convenient for pickup. Location is convenient , inside seating is simple but clean.Convenient and efficient service. The rare beef pho is flavorful and excellent! Vermicelli meals are tasty. Food is always freshly made.

So the location may not be the best. The decor may not be all to appealing. HOWEVER, hands down the best pho in Lakeland. Ive visited all the pho spots in Lakeland to compare and this spot serves the best bowl of pho. I did the well done brisket bowl and I knew off first glance my broth was BROTHY. It does now lack in flavor not one bit. The service was good. very friendly staff members. This is the definition of the "hole in the wall", "don't judge a book by its cover" etc. The outer appearance may say nay but trust me that bowl will have you saying yay.

ordered Pho with egg noodles, the plate itself was not bad but I ended up getting food poisoning from it. I would not return.

One of the best Pho we had in a while! totally worth the drive from Plant City! Never trust the book by its cover!

Clean, quiet, casual, friendly, excellent food. A regular stop for me. My favorite is the combination pho.
