First time trying this place today, as I just recently have tried Vietnamese cuisine. This place was FANTASTIC! I ordered the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio(vermicelli w/BBQ pork & egg roll) and Jim had the Phở Dac Biet(Phở with beef, meatballs, brisket, tendons & tripe) and we started with the shrimp spring rolls. All the dishes had such great flavor! We can’t wait to go back! I didn’t think AZ could have a place that rivaled, and dare I say a tad better than my first and only Vietnamese restaurant that I frequent in So Cal. Staff was very nice, service was great.

Ordered the rare beef phở to go; didn’t have to wait, it was ready for pick up upon my arrival. It was a rainy day and this soup hit the spot! Good, rich beef flavored broth. Great price too. However, I would have liked a bit more meat with my soup. Also, the restaurant seemed a bit dark and could use a freshening up/updating.

Good phở place better than most of the places in east valley, could be better if the broth is a bit hotter !!!

Love their phở and everyone there is very nice. I live right across the street which is dangerous because it is so good! Would highly recommend giving it a try.

Had a craving for some Phở and this place delivers. I love the flavor of the broth and they give you enough noodles and other ingredients so I was definitely a satisfied customer:)

Ordered egg rolls with our dinner and received spring rolls instead. No biggy we roll with the punches but after i took a bite out of the spring roll put it down on the plate and a small bug crawled out of it. It grossed me out and i advised waiter and he took spring rolls back and came back 5 minutes later looking for the bug. Which we did provide him since it was smashed on a plate at our table. We continued with our meal against my better judgment.

The vermicelli was to die for! Thai coffee was amazing. Spring rolls were delicious. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Typical no frills Vietnamese restaurant, but at least the restaurant is clean. Pretty good bun bo hue and phở here… but the phở tastes pretty standard to me. Not special, but still good. I prefer the bun bo hue here over the phở. Their broken rice plate is good. I just feel like their portions are pretty small for the price. Other than that, overall pretty good Viet food.

This place is probably the only place I could consider myself a regular. It’s very good, authentic Vietnamese. Excellent phở and we love the crispy pork rolls and pork chop. Many love them for the oxtail. What are you waiting for?!

I tried this place when they first opened and felt the prices were too high so I didn’t go back. Well yesterday I decided to try them again. And I’m glad I did. I was happy to see they lowered the pricing. Service was pretty good. Need to work on refills of drinks a bit but overall good. They are the only place I’ve seen the pork rolls and rice rolls on the menu. Typically I would have to ask my mom to make them. So that was a plus. I also got their grilled pork egg rolls. Again. Very good.

It was good. People were nice. My meatballs were a little icy in the broth. The spring rolls were really close to awesome but had some chewy corners. Nice place all in all. Would like to try some of their other dishes. In Washington we are spoiled by many great Vietnamese places. This place is very good for Chandler so maybe I am a bit harsh in saying 3 stars?

Took the folks out to sample this restaurant and we were happy. We order the Banh Cuon, Phở Bo Vien and Bun Bo Hue which was fresh and tasty. The fish sauce for the Banh Cuon had too much sugar yet the service was quick. The place isn’t anything fancy but easy to find with the bright neon lights illuminated throughout the shopping strip. Don’t expect too much enthusiasm on service nor fancy décor. $ 6.95-$ 7.50 price range.

This is a pretty typical Vietnamese restaurant. Their menu has all the classics. We stated with the fried egg rolls. They were pretty tasty, crisp and the filling was well seasoned, but the sauce was kind of flavorless. I know this is the more classic sauce, but I tend to like it when they make it sweeter and give some extra spice! Also had the beef noodle soup. That was pretty good too. Nothing all that different or interesting, but if you’re going for a classic, you won’t be disappointed. The beef was actually very tender too. Lastly, had a broken rice plate with beef and onions. Good flavor here too and the rice was more tender(how broken rice should be) than some other places we’ve tried. The service is clean and easy, again, exactly what you’d expect! They explained some of the dishes we didn’t know, but we ended up sticking with favorites. I’d say this is a solid choice for a quick lunch and will be keeping them on my list for rushed lunch in the future!

I ordered food to go and it was ready within 20 minutes. I was impressed with the speed and friendliness of the staff. I had ordered phở, fresh shrimp spring rolls, and pork broken rice. When I got home, the spring rolls smelled very rotten. I was a little concerned that the meat was old and was wondering if it was because I had ordered food to go instead of dining in. Everything else was decent, but because there are so many other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, I probably will not return to this location.

So fresh and nice atmosphere ! Tastes like there wasn’t as much MSG and beef meatballs were particularly tender; we ordered Vietnamese egg crêpe(app) for the first time. It’s a meal all on its own.

So went to have a late lunch today at this place saw great reviews. So I was all done about to pay the bill went to the bathroom before I left gentlemen using the urinal was there so I washed my hands first because I made a spicy soup so just about done the gentlemen I thought was about to wash his hands and didn’t. So I thought ok he was a customer no it was a employee it totally turned me off of my food and will never go back if you are an employee you must wash your hands before returning to that means in the bathroom and in the kitchen again. Will never go back wish I could give no stars

(Lyrics — Toni Braxton — Breathe Again) If I never taste your Shrimp Spring Rolls again If I never taste your tender beef again If I never smell your broth and sauce now and then Will I never Unilocal and review you once again Please understand if Bo Bites rants Then I promise you, I promise you That, that I come by Phở Viet Nam again Phở Viet Nam Phở Viet Nam That I shall come by Phở Viet Nam again Phở Viet Nam Phở Viet Nam is a pretty solid Phở joint in the heart of the Chandler suburbs. Phở Viet Nam is definitely your old school mom/pop owned Phở restaurant. The place itself was quite typical of such a place. Bad portrait paintings, poor replicas of traditional artwork and a couple of tv screens on the wall; you know the cheap Chinatown stuff you put up to signify you’re an Asian establishment. In my books, the place was not really utilized to maximize it’s potential plus it didn’t look well kept. Needless to say, you can’t beat the classic Vietnamese cuisine here. I started with Shrimp spring rolls. Generally I would go with something fried like eggrolls, but for some reason I shot for this and I was not disappointed. Dipped with the sweet Hoisin sauce and spicy chili gave this a classic appetizer a kick and aromatic refreshing bite. Next up was of course my comfort food, Phở! The broth really brings this dish home for me and here at Phở Viet Nam it definitely did so. As I peered into the kitchen I see a family at work busting out dish after dish as if it was in their own home. In the end, Phở Viet Nam is a new must go Phở place for me. I think overall I totally appreciate my Phở made by mom and pops in the back room and find it comforting to say. — Enjoy!

This place has really great customer service and reasonably priced phở. It is authentic Vietnamese food! I always order the deep fried egg rolls(2 for $ 3) and a bowl of phở tai bo vien(brisket and meatballs). Their broth is yummy and their veggies are always fresh. Don’t expect them to bring the check to you. When you are ready to pay just go to the counter. I also usually get a iced coffee with condensed milk to go. Really caffeinated !
