Pho 79

Pho 79 has been a favorite of mine for years. Pho (pronounced "fuh") is deliciously addictive and perfect in the winter (or any time of year for that matter!) I love the pho with meatballs and steak. Served with hoisin, sriracha, jalapeños, basil, lime, and bean sprouts, there are a variety of opportunities for customization here.As for appetizers, my recommendation is the fresh rolls. Always delicious and served with a peanut sauce (which I actually like to put in my soup, too!) As a dietitian, pho is a great, hearty choice. Plus it's yummy. Nothing is better! There are plenty of vegetarian options too- there's something for everyone!Takeout is great as well. Staff are efficient and friendly.

I've been to the Norfolk location before and fell in love with their delicious beef pho ! The staff is very friendly and attentive, and quite prompt as well. I love the bamboo decorations in the restaurant; giving a Vietnam vibe. This location is closer so I will be coming here for now on!

I was craving for soup and a taste of Pho. The place nest on a commercial area with different restaurants . The place looks small but they do have an exclusive outside dining area. Inside is clean and cozy and very traditional to their culture. The staff always has a smile and is fast to get your order. We got our order reasonably on time. Again, the flavor is perfect. Temperature is perfect and presentation too. We enjoyed our appetizer fried chicken and spring roll. Our pho and lemon grass flavor bbq with rice are great combination. Tea is good too. Parking is up front with ramps for wheelchair . Coming back again for sure and bringing back the kids.

Spoiled food - hope not to get sick. ---- Ate here in person months ago and pho was pretty good. Today, sadly, our delivered pho smelled like the food has turned. Noodles had a faint foul smell that I couldn't figure what exactly it was but it smelled like a dirty sock. After combining it with broth and meats I took a few bites and by then it was obvious that noodles were spoiled and had a faint sour taste to them. My son tasted the same. After inspecting the rest of the order I was surprised to find a piece of meat buried inside the other noodles. Something is clearly off. Not many good Pho places in the area and this used to be our go to - but, this is beyond unacceptable and now I am just hoping that my son and I won't get sick.

Tonight we had dinner at Pho 79, located on Sam's Drive near the Sam's Club in the heart of Chesapeake.It is just starting to turn chilly outside and it's a great time to enjoy some good Pho.We got the 3 beef selections (forgot the name but it has 3 kinds of beef in it. The broth is delicious and the noodles are fixings made this a bowl of wonderful.

I'm not a huge Pho-natic, so I ordered the Chicken Curry. Very good, and unexpectedly spicy! My sis loves Pho, and we always come here when she's in town. The Large portion is HUGE, and was at least 4 meals.They have a really homemade feel for a chain restaurant, and sis is never disappointed with the amount of noodles and always fresh veg accompaniments.

I have been a fan of this place for years. The food is always delicious. Today was no different. I wasn't feeling well so I decided to go get some soup. It soothing and tasty. I also got some spring rolls with peanut sauce. I'm really shocked that this restaurant has such a low rating on yelp. Unless it's because of the holes in the chairs?? Some of the decor needs some updating but the staff is always super friendly and the food is always delicious whether you dine in or have it delivered.

Pho 79 has been a long time favorite of mine and now my kids. When we were stationed in here in Coastal VA on the first round, there were only 2 locations back then, the original on VB Blvd, and the newest on General Booth. It's nice to come back and see that the Pho 79 fam has expanded quite a bit!Pho 79 in Chesapeake is the location we frequent most since it's the closest to our home. My kids love it there!- Parking - Center lot- Vibe - They have an semi-open kitchen so you see a bit of the action and also the aroma keeps you hungry! They also have a outdoor vibe going on on the inside. Lots of tables and chairs, as well as, some booth seats.- TLC - Every time we go in, we're always well taken care of. The staff ranges from younger individuals to more mature ones and they are all super nice and pleasant. There is a more mature lady especially, that always has the biggest smile and upbeat attitude and always checks on us often.- Sips - I always get the Vietnamese coffee with extra condensed milk. YUMMMM. Always hits the spot.Pro tip: if you are looking for some real Vietnamese coffee, always order them at Vietnamese/pho restaurants. There is no substitute for the coffee cup that's filled with a little bit of condensed milk, and a stainless steel filter over the cup where the coffee drip directly in the cup. It needs to be strong and that portion is the right concentration of coffee and milk. They will serve with a tall glass full of ice, if you order it iced. This will be the perfect ratio of ice and coffee and milk that will be diluted at the right amount (see pic).- Noms - We've tried quite a few things on the menu like the fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese fried egg rolls, pho (usually tai nam gau), the grape leaf beef app and the banh mis. I've also had the Roll Your Own Spring Rolls that I've thoroughly enjoyed. I just love spring rolls in general, so this is right up my alley. You get a choice of chicken, beef, pork, or a combination and they bring a whole platter with the protein of choice and all the fixin's and sauce with the rice paper rolls and you can make it how you want! I love hand-on platters! Eating your hands just makes your food taste so much better! Highly recommend! Our go-to menu items are definitely the Vietnamese iced coffee, fresh spring rolls and the pho.Overall, it's a great place to grab a quick bite and we love going there!Stay safe, Friends!

Great fresh made sandwich. I walked in to place my order. I wanted of course to see the cleanliness of the restaurant. I have had office ordered take out before and just had the same Bahn mi with chicken. Juicy marinated grilled chickens. Pretty tasty with the crusty bread. Plants great you at the door. The dining room is clean, tended to often, well it's and spaced out nicely. I was greeted with a friendly hell when I entered. My order was taken as pots cling clanged in the back. Not a long wait at all maybe 5-6 minutes max. Great choice today.

Changes: Is there a new cook?Broth is not as good and we ALWAYS get xtra tendon. But the Tendon is now slivered to hard hockey pucks.
