Pho Vegas

When walking in I was a lil worried since only 2 tables were occupied. I was very wrong to be worried. It was good.
We ordered a #40 Phở w/​raw steak & meatballs — it was flavorful, hot & deviously spiced, and #71 Bun bowl — well balanced, filling, egg rolls & pork — yummy, sausage– different but not bad. We also ordered a fresh lime drink and Taro smoothie they were booth +A. You should definitely try them!
The staff was friendly and didnt speak much english. But they came by to make sure we were ok. Thats all I ask for in good service.
Overall good food and amazing prices. We will be back when in the area.

Their broth is hands down one of the best tasting I have ever had! We can’t go a week without getting their beef phở special!
This are also one of the only phở joints with a legitimate extra large!

Foot Long glorious Bahn Mi. That’s all I have to say!
Ok — maybe I’ll say a bit more! This place serves up very fresh food, though service can be a little slow. The smoothie shakes were well flavored, the spring rolls were some of the best I’ve had, and they were even kind enough to fill up 5 large camelbacks with water as we were heading out of town for the weekend and needed both water and a meal to hold us over on our hikes and the bahn mi hit the spot. The bread was fresh and flaky, the meat was tender and cut in bite sized pieces, veggies were fresh, and it wasn’t doused in too much sauce so it held up excellent for the long road trip and drive. And size wise… it was so large, it actually lasted for 2 meals, which was soo awesome!!! Best $ 5 spent! :)

definitely
DEFINITELY not coming back. Got 4 cups of ice water and one of them had a cockroach in it.

My friend loves ordering their vegetable phở, but with beef broth and extra veggies and noodles. The vegetable phở comes with Bok Choy, tofu, broccoli and a few other veggies.
I tried the phở tai with meatballs (bo vien) and it was decent. We ordered to go and they packaged it nicely, gave us a ton of fresh veggies, noodles and meat but unfortunately the broth wasn’t very flavorful. It didn’t have the usual meaty flavor that I’m used to. Maybe it was because we came in 15 minutes before closing so the quality of the broth wasn’t as good?
Either way, it’s only 5 minutes from my friends house so it’s convenient for her. For me, I’ll keep looking for a good spot.

I read the reviews where people raved about the banh mi and that’s exactly what I tried. It’s the best I’ve had in town. More specifically, it the BBQ pork (Banh mi xa xiu) that is amazing with its baked in-​house bread blistered and crispy on the outside and chewy and airy on the inside and filled with thick slices of BBQ pork and veggies. The combination pork (Banh mi dat biet) I was less thrilled with. I’ve also had the Bún ga cha gio — vermicelli noodles with grilled chicken and egg rolls — which was pretty good. But, it’s the BBQ banh mi that’s the star here.

I’m so glad this place is around the corner!!! Delicious food and giant portions :-) I have been in a few times now ant the food is consistently wonderful no matter what I try.

For some reason, I wanted shrimp and rice, so I figured this would probably be a good time to try Phở Vegas.
We ordered at home and did the pickup option instead of dining in. The food was ready when we got there, which was pretty fast considering it took us 15 minutes to get down to Phở.
The food was delicious, just what I needed to curb my phở cravings

Large phở and grilled pork sandwich! Be ready to be happy. Large phở feels like extra large. Generous amount of meat and noodle. Broth were very good. The sandwich is long! Generous amount too. Would recommend this place! Wish this restaurant was in MI! FYI — the staff were friendly too.

I order the phở number 34 and a durian shake my hubby ordered pork rice dish that came with other stuff like an egg, sausage, steamed egg, and shrimp the portion is big and price is decent phở was good soup is good. My durian shake was really tasty it’s better than most places.

Holy moly!!! Came here for some banh mi for lunch and I was near by so stopped by here! The restaurant is very spacious and clean, plus for a newly opened spot they have great reviews! I knocked a star off because it did take a while for them to prepare my order of 2 sandwiches. BUT they were HUGE! and tasted yummy. I look forward to trying some Phở and Rice plates soon too! Excited to see how business gets here :)

Wonderful Phở can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I’ve been coming here for months and always good service and great food.

On my quest to find a preferred place for banh mi, I really wanted to like this place. Unable to decide between a two and three star rating, I decided to go with the latter. My experience here was probably the poorest service I have received in a long time from anywhere.
I ordered grilled pork banh mi and chicken banh mi to go. All I ordered were sandwiches. That’s it. Thirty plus minutes later, no sandwiches. The lady who worked there apologized that they were so busy. Okay, fine. After 45 minutes, I got my sandwiches. By this time, I was hangry. From what I saw, they may have been understaffed, but 45 minutes is unacceptable for just sandwiches. Are they baking the bread? If so… tell me! I don’t think this was the case though.
What is impressive about the banh mi here are the huge portions and freshly baked bread; however, the grilled pork tasted off. I was questioning whether or not I got the right order. In addition the veggies were lacking the vinegar taste that I am used to.
I would probably recommend calling in your order, if only ordering banh mi. I don’t think I’ll be back though.

Great late night eats!
The fam & I were out doing last minute holiday things when all of a sudden the ‘Hunger Games’ hit us like Jennifer Lawrence in a tight top & an even tighter bow string. Only problem was it was past 9:15 PM, and I was feeling like a sandwich. But no one besides me would settle for SUBWAY. Off I go on my Unilocal app, plugging in ‘sandwich’ for a search nearby. As luck would have it, we were cruisin’ along near Chinatown. What’s that you say, Unilocal app? Right off Sahara, a phở place with banh mi sandwiches open till 10 PM? With over 3 stars? I’m there!
Getting in front of the place, I thought Phở Vegas was already closed as it was EMPTY. But upon pulling on the door, I was let in to the awesomeness that is broth simmering on a stove. Phở broth can be so intoxicating! I asked if they were already closed and the polite little old lady (our hostess and possibly one of the owners) said, «No, please sit down.» We didn’t want to keep them waiting too long for us after closing so we went over the menu as quick as we could.
We ordered:
*#34 — Phở Vegas Dac Biet ($ 8.95 for Large) — Special noodle soup with rare steak, crunchy flank, tripe, tendon, brisket, and meatball
#12 — Banh Mi Dac Biet ($ 5.95) — Foot long sandwich with combination pork
I’m just gonna come out and say the phở and the banh mi were some of the better stuff I’ve had in Vegas! Tasty tasty tasty!
The phở was in a really large bowl with enough noodles, goodies, & broth for two of us to share (which we did). The broth here at Phở Vegas is actually pretty flavorful without being overly salty. I could taste the star anise, and possibly a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg? Nice for a cold winter night. The additional condiments were fresh too, the basil, bean sprouts, and jalapenos were crisp.
But for me, the banh mi was the star! Each are a foot long! Bigger than just about all other banh mi offered in Vegas, with similar pricing. The bread here at Phở Vegas is killer delicious! Warm, but crusty on the outside & cushy on the inside. Probably key for a great banh mi. Some Unilocalers complained that theirs were light on the meat, but the one I had that night was on point. Mayo on the bread as well! A good serving of fresh veggies in there too — cilantro, cucumbers, pickled carrots & radish. I added some extra basil, bean sprouts, and a couple of jalapenos from our condiment plate… topped that sucker with a healthy dose of hoisin sauce, a splash of Sriracha, and I was ready to go! Delicious sandwich! Shared half with the wifey & she liked it enough that we ordered another one to take home!
I work less than 10 minutes from Phở Vegas so you can be sure I’ll be back for lunch to get a banh mi (or 2) to go. Big bang for the buck!

I dropped in for lunch because I was craving a banh mi. The bread is as delicious as it looks, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sadly, I didn’t love the banh mi as a whole. The meat to bread ratio was off and the pâté was practically nonexistent. I also tried the bun bo hue. The broth was tasty but the noodles were still hard. Service was painfully slow. Not exactly in a rush to come back.

Still comparing vermicelli bowls in town, I found myself here. The glowing reviews made me do admit, I must admit.
It’s located in an old strip mall along Sahara Ave. The place was empty and the air smelled like old grease — the type that sticks to your hair and clothes, a pet peeve of mine.
Should I get phở? Banh mi? Rice combo? Appetizers?
Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio:
Huge portion. Lots of noodles, egg rolls and meat. However, I was not impressed by the taste of the egg rolls. I didn’t like them at all and I just can’t figure out what exactly I didn’t like about it. Were they fishy and salty? Maybe. I haven’t had this dish I did not finish so, this was a first. ²⁄₅
Com Dac Biet:
Steamed rice with grilled pork, sausage, pork cake, and egg. Pork cake? Por que? It’s not what you think it is. It’s like meatloaf slices made of pork. ³⁄₅
Banh Mi Thit Nuong:
A huge fat sandwich with grilled pork and veggies. Oh my goodness, this thing is thick and delicious. They bake the bread on premise so, when you get your sandwich it is so lovely and warm. You’ll ask, «where have you been all my life?» Whatever bad things I said in the previous paragraphs, just disregard them. Their Banh mi more than made up for everything. Your first bite, the warm flakey crunchy bread… oh, my! And it’s packing some good meat… lots of it. It’s just perfection. It’s about $ 6 and it can feed 2 people. Those places that sell sub sandwiches has nothing on this. ⁵⁄₅
So, yes, come here for the Banh mi and take it to-​go. Skip the egg rolls.

Came here for dinner around 8pm 12÷5÷15. I ordered a combination phở, combination bahn mi sand which, and my other half got the bun bo hue.
Our food came out quick! We waited probably about 5−10min at the most. The combination phở was delicious. I had so much noodles and meat that accommodated each other especially for a small! It was mines & my bfs first time trying bun bo hue. So I can’t really say much about it besides that it does have a fishy broth to it & thicker and rounder noodles than phở does. The bahn mi was the best I ever had in Vegas. It’s so rare to see Vietnamese places serve bahn mi compared to back home (Hawaii) where every Vietnamese place usually has bahn mi.
Customer service was great! Everyone was very nice! Usually when it comes to Asian joints they don’t show much hospitality to their customers but they did. They checked up on us a bunch of times. We were short about 50 cents on our check and they lady said it was ok.
I will definitely come back here again! I just wish it was closer to my side of town.

Admittingly anxious stumbling across non-​Chinatown restaurants, it is with welcomed arms that Phở Vegas fits a well-​needed niche, better-​than-​average Viet, different from the well established.
Serving sizes leaning towards large for all things seemingly served, one is not to go hungry it seems with any choice from the menu. Prices mirror a Chinatown setting.
Starting with the VERY large portioned Banh Mi Thit Nuong, almost twice as large as the norm, announcing fresh bread at first bite. Charbroiled pork is well seasoned, a bit sweet (almost Tocino like). A steal at the asking price… Subway, eat your heart out!
Phở Tai is moderately oily, served with delicate noodles, slightly thinner than the average. Too bad my Rare Beef was already well done when presented, the only note mentionable from a surprisingly satisfying non-​Chinatown bowl.
Lastly, the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio is also large portioned, with more egg rolls I’ve yet seen served.
Placed in a setting that screams Mom & Pop Hole, I hope for a swift start to their open here on West Sahara.
Recommended!

Just had a great dinner here with my husband. We came in at around 8pm. The lady sat us and got us menus and waters. We decided to have the bun bo hue, a grilled pork banh mi, and the vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp, sausage, and eggrolls. The food came out pretty fast and the portions are huge! The banh mi and the soup would’ve been enough for the two of us but I’m glad we tried the vermicelli as well. I know the name says phở Vegas so you’ll probably come here for phở, but I really encourage trying the bun bo hue! It’s number 51 on the menu. The broth is soooo good! It didn’t have as much meat as other places but that broth, oh man! The banh mi was great! The bread was soft and chewy and they were generous with the meat. The vermicelli was delicious as well! I’ve never tried that dish before and it was really tasty. It’s noodles with pork, sausage, eggrolls, shrimp, some veggies, and a side of sauce that you mix in it. The sauce is like the eggroll dipping sauce. If you’re not up for soup, try that, it was number 71 on the menu. The service was good. The servers checked on us a couple of times to see how we were doing and refilled our drinks. They were nice and got us a box to go for our leftovers. We left full and happy that we tried this place.

Uh-​oh. I think Kinh Do and Dakao have some competition on their hands– the bahn mi here are cheap, huge, and tasty, with an incredible bread! The sandwiches are usually pretty low-​priced but the version here is a «foot long» — literally two huge halves, double the portion that you get elsewhere, for only a buck or so more. My usual complaint about bahn mi is the lackluster bread– but here, it is fresh baked, fluffy, and beautiful. It almost reminds me of a challah bread. I’m definitely coming back here for more sandwiches, though the selection is a bit limited. Grab the dac biet!
The namesake phở is also a good option– broth was lighter than is typical around town, and meat was an average portion but less fatty than cuts served at other shops. Large and small sizes are offered, typically under $ 10. Two of us split a large and didn’t finish it. I was a bit surprised to see the phở included sliced white onions. Menu has some healthier-​sounding options, including a chicken phở and a shrimp version.
The spring rolls were the only item we were slightly less than blown away by– portion of two rolls came nicely plated and generously served with two cups of creamy peanut sauce. However, the filling seemed to be mostly shredded iceberg lettuce with the protein/​noodles. Everything was fresh and priced appropriately though ($ 5).
Service was attentive and friendly– much more so than I’m used to receiving at a Vietnamese place, to be honest. The massive order above was $ 22 for two before tip, and was enough food to leave an entire roll and half a sandwich for my lunch the following day. I’ll be back!
