Pho 8: Reviews & Ratings
Really nice restaurant with a clean interior and a good amount of indoor seating. I arrived about 15 minutes after opening and was one of the first orders, though more people trickled in shortly. I ordered at the counter and decided to eat in. Staff seemed friendly. I got the shrimp spring rolls and the beef pho. The spring rolls were served with a peanut sauce and were fairly simple--mainly just lettuce, vermicelli noodles, and shrimp wrapped in rice paper. I'm used to variations that usually include more greens/vegetables like carrots, thai basil, cucumber, etc. Still, they were a nice, fresh appetizer. The beef pho was pretty interesting. The broth had a decent beefy flavor but lacked the aromatics that I'm used to tasting in pho. The best way I can describe it is that it tasted very plain and uncomplicated. I'd probably chalk this up to the fact that I've lived in northern NJ / NYC for most of my life which has a large Asian population and many Pho restaurants. The beef slices were also thicker and a bit tougher than what I'm used to. No options for tripe, tendon, or meatballs either. Normally, I would have given 3 stars, but I appreciate this restaurant and its food for what it is in context. I'm just glad that I can get a decent bowl of pho when I'm craving it.
Great food and very accommodating of my wheat intolerance! Food was solid! Nothing super unique or special which is why it's more 4 stars instead of 5. It was good but like also pretty run of the mill if that makes any sense. I also wish they had had some sort of easily accessible menu for first time visitors like my family and me. Nevertheless, a great experience and I plan to go back!!
They make things fresh and it's delicious but how do you pronounce the name? is it like a play on words for Fate.
Got take out recently and everything was fresh, hot and well packed. Got the fresh shrimp spring rolls (3 in an order), noodle bowl with chicken and the rice bowl with pork. Spring rolls were delicious. Liked the rice bowl better than the noodles but think that was also partly because the pork was amazing. Took about 20 minutes for the food to be prepared. Would not necessarily seek this out, but if in the area again I would absolutely go back.
