Pho Bosa

Everything was good until my friend was trying to change table to a booth. long story but short The waiter said they going to «CHARGE» us extra. WTF? This ain’t no 5 Stars Fine Dining! You got me fucked up.

This is still my first stop in Vegas for food (if I have a rental car). I stopped eating most meat except for seafood and they make a fantastic vegetarian phở consisting of friend tofu, broccoli, and bok choy. Also, try their tofu spring roll — their rolls are interesting because they add a crispy wonton to the center and it’s delicious.
I’ve also noticed that the service has been amazing every single time. Plus, never a wait!

Food:
Bun rieu was probably one of my favorite, ever and I am quite picky with my bun rieu. Their broth isn’t drench with too much oil and they aren’t stingy with their amount of meats in the soup (crab, shrimp), you can also just go rest. I also got the tofu spring which was also one of my favorite.
Service: the service wasn’t the greatest, waited about 30 mins for our table.
If I am in the LV area will def. stop by again. Delicious

Sometimes, even in Vegas, you need a little phở. Perhaps you need to cure your hangover or you have the case of the munchies. Phở can be that delicious bowl of happiness that you need.
Thanks to Unilocal I have discovered this place. Usually when we are in Vegas we go to this other place for phở, but it wasn’t very good. Phở Bosa has better broth and more meats! Very awesome hole in the wall.

BEST. VIETNAMESE. FOOD. EVER!
Omg, I love this place. This place hits home. Some people may stick to the phở places on the strip for convenience, but it’s not too far off the strip and definitely worth the few minutes of drive. The phở broth is so flavorful and clean, and the meats are so nice and tender. The bun rieu was really good too, and they make sure to give you a plentiful amount of crab/​shrimp meat.
Last and favoriteeeeee part of this meal was the nem nuong cuon. Best I’ve ever had. The pork was so flavorful and the fried egg roll wrapper had the perfect crunch. So yummy!

Let me start off by saying that I’m pretty new to the world of Phở. I’m gonna start with the service:
Service:
The service was OUTSTANDING! We were three white people not familiar with Phở and our server went out of his way to really explain the purpose of all the flavors, the differences between Phở and the dish I ordered (Bun Bo Hue). Plus, one of my friends was Vegetarian and one was allergic to seafood, so he went further out of his way to make sure all the ingredients fit with their situations.
Food:
First I ordered the fried pork egg rolls. They super delicious! The server again mixed the sauces together for me (fish sauce & chili sauce) for dipping. Then I realized half-​way through eating the egg rolls was that I was eating them wrong. I was eating them like a typical white person instead of realizing that the lettuce, herbs and veggies on the plate were meant to be used to wrap the egg rolls in. At first we just thought it was really nice garnishes lol
Next I had the Bun Bo Hue. One of the best broths I’ve ever tasted maybe ever. I loved all the ingredients: Brisket, Pork Sausage, Noodles, Cabbage and this Pork Blood thing.
I have a list of Phở places bookmarked on here, but it’s going to be hard to want to try anywhere else.

We ended up here on happenstance because the first phở joint we stopped at was packed and the staff was SUPER rude. So we drove down the street and found Phở Bosa — best decision ever. We liked it so much, we ate here on the first day coming in AND on the last day leaving Vegas. (Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you!)
The phở broth here may be the most flavorful I have ever had. So savory, packed with so much seasoning and tang. I did a few squirts of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha sauce just out of habit but it was utterly unnecessary. The soup just stood on its own. Phở noodles were beautifully cooked, meat was lean, lender and fresh. My only compliant was that I got to the bottom of the bowl too quickly, and I’m pretty sure the portions are on par with everywhere else. We also got egg rolls and this spring roll with Vietnamese sausage and dipping sauce. SO GOOD! I’m totally salivating while typing this.
I have eaten a lot of phở at a lot of places. Mainly in Los Angeles where Vietnamese cuisine is competitive. Phở Bosa is up there with the best of them.

So a good friend of mine and I decided to get some hot soup on a cold day!!! BBRRR!!!
Found this wonderful hole in the wall gem! We couldn’t believe how great it was! It was packed at 2pm on a Monday… we had the pork sausage spring roll. It blew us away in both flavor and texture. The spicy beef soup was beyond delicious. Well balanced, rich and hearty. The pork blood added a creamy texture and the tendons were tender and flavorful.
I will definitely be back!!!

RUDE SERVICE! DEFINITELY NOT FOND OF VEGAS PHO VIETNAMESE PEOPLE. The language barrier deems them uneducated. Id rather be at a mexican restaurant with a bunch of mexicans that dont speak english than in a place like this where they don’t understand english.
THE FOOD WAS GREAT BUT THE SERVICE WAS NASTY! We didnt get refills on our waters, they gave us 7 minutes to look at the menu then PRESSED US FOR ORDERS (6 people? 7 minutes?) — - They almost spilled my phở soup — cause the old lady server kept speaking HER NAILSHOP TALK to the other server.
Then we were MISSING UTENSILS & CHOPSTICKS on the table, they handed us the check HALF WAY before we could even eat half our food cause they were GETTING PACKED and needed tables.
WORD OF THE WISE, SPEAK AND LEARN ENGLISH AND CUSTOMER SERVICE before opening a restaurant. –

Sadly, I didn’t get to try their bun rieu. We came late, close to when they were closing, so they ran out of noodles. Instead, we ordered their spring rolls. We were having a bad day so we were a little grumpy when we were told that they didn’t have much to offer. They said they could sub phở noodles in the bun rieu but I knew it wouldn’t be the same. They probably sensed our irritation and felt bad for not having much to offer, so they tried to comp our meal. That was a very kind gesture, but it wasn’t their fault so we insisted to pay. Five stars for this genuine establishment that cares about their customers. Next time, I’ll make sure to come early!

Their Phở was nothing special even with a hangover (which usually amplifies the tastiness of Vietnamese food by ten-​fold).
The Bun Rieu however was very flavorful (loved the broth). The crab meat tasted fresh. I’d probably either get the Bun Rieu or the Bun Bo Hue.
This place probably has one of the best Phos near the Strip… but that really doesn’t say much.

Took forever and phở usually does not take that long. The place is small and guaranteed you’ll walk out of that place with a strong Asian food stuck onto your clothing. Expect to want to shower and wash your clothes after.
Can’t split the checks in any way. Not even partial cash and the rest card. So lame. Phở tasted kind of funky… servers always had to be flagged down. Will not be back. I’ll take my chances on waiting at phở Kim long.

11−9−15
After 3 years of phở «adventures» throughout the Orange County, CA. this place is still the best {because of their fancy chilly sauce}
The phở is great, the customer service is great too.
For the ones who like the chili flavor, here their magic chili sauce has a hint of shrimp and if added to the phở it takes it to a whole new level yet to be beaten.

After a night of binge drinking me and my friends were craving a big olé bowl of phở. We went to Unilocal and found Phở bosa. Seeing that it has high reviews, we decided to try it out.
It’s a small restaurant so it’s definitely not good for big groups.
My whole table of 5 people ordered all phở and one bun rieu. We waited for about 15 – 25 mins to get our food. We were all pretty pissed that we had to wait so long for a bowl of phở. That’s not even the worst part. The broth was bland and the noodles were hard. Then when the bill came out it just didn’t add up. It was expensive.
Will not be coming back in the future.

Visit: late afternoon, Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015
Although located off of the always bustling Spring Mountain Rd., Phở Bosa is on the cusp of what is deemed as China Town, in a section that feels more industrial than most typical restaurant goers might be accustomed to when looking for a place to dine — but don’t let that stop you from venturing into this little hole-​in-​the wall gem!
Inside is small and utilitarian; with just a handful of booths and a few tables — each table having a variety of sauces to spice things up. The wait staff is prompt, friendly, and also quite helpful.
* Important Note: The men’s and women’s restrooms are located outside of the establishment itself, in a hallway immediately outside of the back exit. — I admit, at night it can be a bit spooky. So, if you’re a big wuss like me… have a friend tag along!
My friend and I both ordered vermicelli bowls — one a combination of grilled pork, shrimp cake, fried rolls, and a side order of grilled shrimp — the other bowl had chicken and short ribs. And for starters, an order of Fresh Spring Rolls.
In all fairness and truth, let me just say, I’ve never met a vermicelli bowl that I didn’t like! :)
And, Phở Bosa did not disappoint! The bowls are large, the salad crisp, and all of the meats were flavorful and grilled to perfection. Also, the shrimp cake is quite fantastic — beautiful color, taste, and texture; a nice add-​on to any meal.
Spring Rolls: They’re okay. I can’t say that they’re particularly special, they don’t have much going on in terms of flavor — but I will say that I do enjoy the crunchy texture that the fried wrapper adds.
I’ll Be Back!!! :)

This place is sooooo good and has excellent customer service. I ordered #17 and both the short ribs with shrimp cake. I also order the pork spring rolls which were soooo good. We drive from Oakland to LA for Brodards famous spring rolls and I can tell you that without the cilantro, they taste almost the same! Same sauce and everything! My food was so good! The service is also pretty amazing, Mo took great care of us, refilled water constantly, checked on us, and even gave us a free sample of their coffee. Yum.
Overall, next time I’m in Vegas with a hangover, this will definitely be one of my stops! The décor is pretty calm and its really cool inside. Very clean. Everyone else seems pretty happy with their food and definitely talked about coming back! :)

While Phở Bosa’s phở was everything everyone else described here on Unilocal (delicious, flavorful, clean broth), what I’m really a fan of was their Pork Sausage Spring Rolls. About $ 5 gets you two springs rolls with seemingly the perfect ratio of the pork sausage, greens, and the rest of the filling inside. Each bite had a nice crisp crunch to it followed by the savoriness of the pork. I would get this again and again.
The phở was fine, albeit, there was a desire for more. I did not notice ‘more meat’ than other places as some reviews have claimed. The slices of rare steak that came in my particular bowl of phở actually over cooked itself by the time it was placed in front of me. Still not a bad bowl of phở.
The actual restaurant is quite small with only a few tables so I can see it being busy and packed on a weekend. We arrived early for lunch on a weekday and there was only 2 other customers there. Sweet! The service was fine and we never really had to worry about our waters being refilled or flagging the server for the check. I’d recommend this establishment over Phở Kim Long 10 out of 10 times (because my friends think that iss the best place for phở) and be sure to grab those pork sausage spring rolls!

I give this place a 4.5 but I rounded down due to poor ventilation and small space. The food is a 5 star rating from you.
Sorry Phở Kim Long, this is my new phở spot on Sunday morning!
PORK SPRING ROLLS: $ 5.5 is a must try here. The pork with the crispy fried wonton and their sauce is amazing!
The Bo Hun hue that my friend got was huge in portion and the broth was very flavorful, I would definitely give that a try next time.

On my most recent trip to Vegas, we thought of trying out Asian food on the West coast. It was, as I was told, supposedly much more authentic and tastier than what I am used to from my local Phở place.
So we got Bo Bun Hue, Nem Nuong Cuon and the Korean ribs combo that came with broken rice and egg rolls. I didn’t really try the Bo Bun Hue. It was supposedly mad spicy. Stayed away from it. I had the Korean ribs which I thought were a bit mediocre and the egg rolls wasn’t anything I would rave about.
Why the four stars then? I loved loved loved loved loved their Nem Nuong Cuon. It’s basically a spring roll with Vietnamese prom sausage. It was soooooo good. I can eat this all day errrday. The dipping peanut (?) complimented the roll very well. A definite must try. I wonder why we do not have this in the east coast :(
The place has a homey feeling. I was watching the Asian mother-​son across us. The boy was getting a lecture from mom about school. Ahhhhhh just like home.

So GOOD Phở You.
At the behest and strong recommendation of a fellow foodie/​yelper, we made time during a recent Vegas trip to try out more places off the strip. Thankfully, Phở Bosa ended up on our list as the visit and meal was truly memorable.
LOCATION: In a fairly nondescript shopping complex not too far from the strip. Since it was SOCLOSE, we decided to venture to the restaurant without the aide of a navigation app or device. Long story of a short drive: We arrived without incident at our destination 10 minutes prior to opening.
SETTING/​AMBIANCE: The restaurant is quite cozy, and has a very home-​like feel to it. Very casual. A mix of tables and booths make up the seating area.
FOOD: Since it was my first time, I chose to let my friend take the lead in ordering. And speaking the of food, the menu is massive. Many selections of drinks, appetizers, food combos (chicken, pork, sausage, etc.), and phở. We shared the springs rolls and we each ordered the Bun Bo Hue phở.
The pork sausage spring rolls were quite good and were the perfect start to our meal. As for the phở, though the Bun Bo Hue is served spicy, I admit I was a coward and requested a mild broth. And sans the infused pork blood as well. I wasn’t sure how my stomach would handle such a thing. The entire bowl seemed massive to me when the server dropped it off the food at our table. But, I saw, I ate, and I conquered my phở. The rice noodles, beef shank, pork, onions, herbs, and lime in the lemongrass beef broth was simply delicious.
SERVICE: Decent service. Not bad but not fantastic. The server checked on us throughout the meal and readily provided water refills.
CAFFEINE: This was also my first time trying Vietnamese coffee. All I can say is that I was WIDE AWAKE after the meal.
BOTTOM LINE: It was pretty good, and I’m sure it will be good phở others too. I shall return!
