Pho 79 Williamsburg

We went to dinner at Pho 79 mid week around 5pm. There were very few guests in the restaurant and there was pop music playing over the speakers. Cozy and welcoming but with a modern feel. We had spring rolls, beef pho, chicken pho, and Thai tea. All were very good and served in a traditional style. The chopsticks and spoons are in a serve yourself dispenser but you can get to-go ones individually wrapped. Overall the food was very good. There was also an unlimited supply of Sriracha sauce and the jalapeño had seeds in. So if you like the heat, this is the place. Our servers were good, accurate, and the food arrived quickly. You can go there dressed up or down.

We have been going here for years. Now, it is never busy. They may be going out of business. Today, the fryer was out. We had company, and they wanted to go to Pho's. The service was very slow. It seemed they were short of help. Half the items were not available. It took a long time for them to get the check. The food quality has gone downhill. My company was very disappointed. Will we be back? I do not think so. We will go to the Newport News store instead.

Came at 7:15 on Saturday night and was kicked out because they were closed. They said that ran out of food.

Large but quiet spot conveniently located in Wiilamsburg. We ate a traditional pre-race dinner before my wife competed in a 24-hour endurance race. She fueled up with Pho and Vietnamese spring rolls.

I'm not very familiar with the area - but had a doctor's appointment nearby and needed to grab a quick lunch. It was rainy and yuck outside, so I search up soup and this place popped up. The Pho 79 locations tend to be hit or miss, but I found one recently in Hampton that I like so I thought I'd give it a shot. This location was substantially less good - felt like a fast food joint with slightly fancier tables. It's fairly like a 2 1/2 stars.Service was really slow, and the flavor for the broth was pretty bland. I'm used to that deep, meaty feeling that seeps all through your bones. This felt strained and thin. I only got through about half of my portion and took the rest home - usually I destroy my leftovers, but when I reheated, it was even worse. I most likely won't visit this location again. The area seemed cool with lots of other shops/spots, so maybe if I'm here again in the future I'll try something else nearby.

We went Sunday Nov 17 and it seems like they're planning on going out of business. No alcohol available. No chili sate sauce...how can you not have the basics? We've been going for year but this time the broth was off for the veggie pho as well as the egg noodle seafood. Worst part is the seafood had the slight seafood smell and not the good smell and the broth was warm, not hot. The squid was soft not firm which means it was old. Luckily I didn't get sick. I don't believe we'll going back.

Rainy day deserves some hot pho!Pho 79 conveniently located in New Town with a spacious location. Customer service is a little slow and the portion size small for the price. A little disturbed that a customer thought I worked here because I was waiting for my check and writing this review lolHowever, the higher rent and labor cost probably contributes to the higher food cost. Broth has a rich flavor and soup dumping in my pho has a savory taste. Friendly service from the waiter that's worked here for over four years.

The service was great.I had a noodle bowl, boba tea and some egg rolls.I liked the egg rolls, but not the noodles.The ambiance was good.Wish they turned down the music just a tad.The strawberry tea was really good! This was the first time I ever had boba.... Wasn't a fan of the boba in the tea.

Be careful, check your food when ordering takeout. They didn't give me the correct food ordered and they didn't give me all the food I ordered and paid for...First time this has happened, been going here for years

Really good authentic Vietnamese dishes. Love the chicken pho but all the selections are excellent and delicious. A must stop in Williamsburg.
