The customer service is awful and the food is underwhelming. I’ve given them a few chances and my friend convinced me to try one more time. Do not get delivered the wrong item because they will expect you to return the half eaten bits of food because the chef can’t remember what he cooked for you. Disgusting service and a manager who hung up on me. Classy joint.

I absolutely adore this place. All the noodle soups are delicious and the portions are good. Service here is quick and everyone is very friendly.

Holy cow, amazing lettuce wraps and green curry. Our friends introduced those to us, we usually get the phở and grilled porkchops which are pretty good. But those 2 are awesome. Also BYOB so always nice. :) Nice staff, bubble tea.

This place is the best! Only vietnamese place in town, though that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be the best if they weren’t. Plus, the service is IMPECCABLE. 5 stars every time. Get the shrimp spring rolls.

I’ve been here a few times for phở before I actually tried much else on the menu. The phở I thought was average — it was good, but I’ve also had better. Granted it’s the only phở place I know of in Hoboken. I was very pleasantly surprised by their Asian Spicy Chicken with mixed vegetables, though. It was very well cooked and super tasty. The texture of the chicken was very tender and the veggies had a nice crunch to them rather than being mushy and unappetizing. I really enjoyed that dish — it was similar to something you’d get at a Chinese restaurant, but cooked way better than most places. On point. One thing I was pretty disappointed about was their Vietnamese spring rolls. They have a very strange texture — the wrap is sort of thick and chewy/doughy rather than thin and crisp. I was not a fan. The service is good here. They’re fast and efficient, getting your food to you quickly. They’re friendly and pretty attentive to your needs. No nonsense. Although, I think the kid serving us may have forgotten about our spring rolls at first… Other than that though, pretty good. Pleasant, casual, moderately quiet. It’s nice, not a hole in the wall by any means, but I’ve worn sweatpants here without receiving any judgmental looks, too. Tldr; pretty good place, check out their other items on the menu other than phở, skip the spring rolls :)

This was my second time ordering from Here. And my last. There was a total of 3 slices of meat in my phở. And the broth tasted watered down. Worst phở I have ever eaten. Shame too because I liked this place enough the first time I had ordered, but 3 pieces of meat is just ridiculous. See picture.

We ordered Phở Nomenon noodle soup and Banh Mi. Everything was great. Very good service.

I’m always apprehensive when it comes to trying Vietnamese places because I’m Vietnamese and mama’s homemade cooking is always best. Compared to thanh houai in downtown Jersey City, it’s definitely 5 times better. The food is way fresher. You can tell the phở is tastier because the aroma is more potent. They’re a little stingy on the meat though. My other favorite dish from there is the grilled pork with flat noodles. It’s so good. The only thing they need is a dessert menu. Did I mention this was BYOB as well?! The place is small but cute. The people are friendly and the service is great. You can’t beat the price either.

I eat here at least once a week. I love the Phở. They best in the area. Service is super quick! The food is wonderful! So many options. Love love this place

The location is great, but unfortunately, that’s the only thing going for this place. We ordered Banh Mi(Vietnamese sub) and Vietnamese Iced coffee this past week. Bread was really cheap and doughy + the pâté wasn’t really pâté. More like some sort of dry red meat jam? We tossed half the sandwich to save space for some real food elsewhere. Coffee was ok. We may come back to try the Phở one day, but I think Jersey City is a safer bet.

It was the 1 degree weekend in February 2016 and my friend visiting from San Francisco was battling the flu. I just needed some tasty broth for this girl and thought Phở Nomenon was up to the challenge. Well, I at least hoped they were up to the challenge. We ordered the mixed vegetable noodle soup(beef broth), phở ga(chicken) noodle soup(clear broth), chow mei fun amoy style and two Thai iced teas. Everything was mediocre. The noodles that came with the soup were not done. Both the clear and beef broths are seriously lacking in flavor. I had to add salt to my soup. The vegetables in the soup were whatever — they existed with no impact. The chicken was flavorless. And the Thai iced teas were just okay. The chow mei fun was slightly better than the soups and I ended up throwing away the soups and we ate just the noodles. Fast and nice service, but the food is just bland.

Alright, I LOVE their phở, for a local close to home Vietnamese option look no further. I can’t really attest to any other dishes, I’ve only tried their phở me I love it.(Repeat offender here) I usually always Stick to tofu and mushroom phở but I tried it with grilled shrimp and am hooked. Delivery rather drags but it’s delivered in all separate. Containers so you can assemble your phở how you like. I haven’t really had any bad service I can speak of and their delivery man is so very sweet my only complaint is that it takes forever to arrive.

This is my favorite restaurant to go to when I have a phở craving. Their grilled pork is just the meat I love with the phở. Garden rolls were impressive. My friends ordered pineapple fried rice and that was descent and I tried their curry chicken which had coconut milk base, reminded me of Malaysian style curry !!! This was good too !! Service is excellent at this restaurant aswell and prices are really reasonable too. Overall, this is a great restaurant where you can get good quality phở served by welcoming staff which is very attentive. I definitely see myself going back here again soon.

Best vietnamese beef sandwich I’ve ever had. Not that I’ve had a million of em but I can’t imagine it being much better than this. Possibly a bit less sodium but that’s about it. Tender beef(most important), tons of flavor-coriander, cilantro etc, great pickled carrot slaw on soft hero roll. Love it.

Willing to try a new place, stopped by Phở Nomemon just before closing time, around 9:30pm, on a weekday and like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, «I’ve had better.» Ordered the Phở Tai Chin Nam Ve. Disappointed all around: the broth was bland and I counted a total of five measly pieces of beef. Also, my Phở was warm instead of coming out hot and steamy. Perhaps my experience wasn’t great because it was closing time. Either way, I felt rushed(as did another poor patron that was asked if he was finished even though there was still food on his plate and he was chewing his food) and the Phở was a mediocre.

Food is okay, but not great. As one of the only Vietnamese restaurants in Hoboken, I’ve tried eating here a few times, but have never loved what I ordered. They do have really convenient online-ordering right through the Unilocal app, and delivered my food in about 30 minutes. $ 20 delivery minimum. Prices are reasonable, but you definitely get what you pay for

This is a vietnamese restaurant with chinese owners. The phở is very oily and with too much added salt. There is also 1 to 2 pieces of meat inside each bowl, it was not filling at all. As for the egg rolls, do not get me started. They are literally the size of baby hot dogs and for $ 6.75(If I remember correctly) the price is a joke, if you order them you’ll know what I mean. They also only give 2 pieces of lettuce, how cheap can they be. As the only vietnamese place in Hoboken, they have a clear monopoly so I will have to get my phở fix here until another opens.

Phở Nomenon is a quiet little place on Washington serving vietnemese cuisine at a reasonable price. You get what you pay for and that’s about it. I had the crispy noodles with shrimp. Noodles were crispy and shrimp was cooked well. Service was friendly but spotty. One of our party’s meal was completely forgotten.

Came here for dinner with friends and thought it was pretty good. I got the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. It was very filling b/c its mainly a rice dish. I got the thai iced coffee which was good but my dripper took forever to drip the coffee which was kind of annoying. prices were reasonable and service was friendly but they did forget about one of my friends meals so she had to wait a little bit.

Vegan Pick: Vegetable Phở with Clear Broth — delicious I also ordered coconut water… served in an actual coconut. Great quality. I was getting over being sick so I did not add sriracha(sinful, I know)…but I will definitely be back!
