Pho Real

Pho Real is very close to are home and on our families daily commute but we strangely have only tried their food twice: once with a friend for a dine in experience and the second was this week for a carry out option. Perhaps it's the dark grey strip mall location? I'm unsure but I thought swinging by on our way home would be convenient.

The restaurant itself is very clean, tables are set up with yummy sauces and arranged in many different configurations for multiple guests needs. I asked for a menu to order food to go, but I can't say the waitress was all that helpful or friendly. After reviewing our options, we settled on chicken fried rice, steamed dumplings, and an order of crab rangoons. I asked the waitress if I could make a substitution for one of their house specialties (omit red onion) and she stated "No, all of them are premade". That's an odd response considering she didn't even ask which one I was interested in or try to help me find something else to enjoy. Either way, what we did order did not disappoint. The fried rice was well seasoned and a large portion while the dumplings were wonderful & came with a delicious sauce.

Maybe I will try this place again next time and hope for a bit better service. Update then!

The location is less than ideal as it's kind of tucked off and in a weird strip mall, but I'm so glad my friend recommended us check this out! I don't care too much about the outward appearance but if this center got a little glow up, I feel like business would be even better!

Anyway, I always get the rare beef pho and it is SO good. I'm always craving this when the weather starts to get chilly so we visit quite a bit. Usually for takeout but we have dined in a few times and the service has always been really great. My husband is more adventurous with the menu and has tried a few other things that he enjoyed, but I really only go for the pho and the crab Rangoons.

Now that I'm writing this review, I think I want some pho for dinner!!

Pho real is easily our favorite Pho spot in town! The food is always incredible and the service is always just as great. We love the friendly atmosphere and getting pho 3 and the spring rolls. It's easy to see that pho real is passionate about offering great, fresh food and I'd recommend it to anyone! Especially on a rainy or cold night!

Hmm, I thought I'd reviewed this in the past. The Pho broth is some of the best I've had in the last 20+ years. There are many great dishes served, a mix of SW Asian dishes of which I love. This is. Now a 2-3 times per month stop.

Our foodie group came to Pho Real for dinner on a cold, chilly night last Thursday. This was the second time I visited the restaurant, so I was looking forward to some hot soup. The last time I was here, it was packed and took a while for our group to get some service, but it was not busy this time around. Our server greeted us right away and took our drink order. The ambiance is very unique and makes you feel right at home. I ordered the soft spring rolls and the khao piek soup. Both were fantastic and very fresh! The soup was incredible and perfect for a cold, winter night. The service this time was a step up from the last visit. The staff were on top of everything with our foodie group, and were very professional and friendly. They had all our orders correctly in order and we did not have to wait long for anything. This was an excellent meal and a glorious dining experience. Pho Real is a wonderful pho soup place and overall Thai food expertise. If you are looking for hot soup on a cold winter night, or you caught a cold and need some soup, get some pho soup from Pho Real. It is simply divine!!

Pho fix? YES! Thai fix. YES! Lao? Meh. (Didn't fine the khao piek impressive.I usually prefer carry-out over dine-in as service can be slow at times.

Vietnamese go-to's: soft spring rolls, pho, vermicelli bowls (ask for more sauce)

Thai: green curry, red curry, pad Thai, pad kee mao

Last several times I've found myself waiting long bouts for orders that I'm told would only be a few minutes.

They also tend to cut corners pretty often on takeout. For example the soft spring rolls don't come with much peanut sauce. And if you get the well-done beef, which is supposed to be slow-cooked brisket, it's often the raw beef that gets quickly cooked. So the meat is still very chewy.

Overall it's hit or miss depending on the day. I would definitely frequent the establishment more often if it was consistent.

I love Pho Real! We have been coming here for about a year and always have a delicious meal. The pho is so nice when its cold, the broth has amazing flavor and we also love the curry, chicken wings and satay. When you want a lighter meal the Chicken laarbs is delicious and super healthy and fresh!!

Big fan of the meatball pho here. The ambiance is always nice, quiet. Room to bring your friends and find a spacious table. The bubble tea is also good! I have returned again since first visit and brought friends.

The reviews had our expectations set high on the food and low on the look of the building. Building wasnt bad and pho was ok but we like our regular place better. Service was great. So a solid 4 stars. 1 bathroom so all pronouns :)

My daughter and stopped in today because husband was bragging up this place. I'm happy to say he wasn't exaggerating. We had chicken wings, dumplings, Pad Kee Mow, and shrimp rice vermicelli. It was all delicious and expertly prepared. I even got some Larb Gai to go! The lady serving us was friendly and did a great job with the busy lunch crowd. We'll definitely be back!
