Pho Thanh

Super prices. Food comes out fast. Check out line to pay is long. It’s far from work, but well worth the trip. Seating is much better now that they have expanded. Always packed. Sometimes people waiting for a seat. Shared tables which are put together. Phở is fantastic.

This is one of the best Phở’s I’ve ever had. They were packed when we went, had quick service, the chili paste and sauces were all out and ready to use if you want, and very reasonable prices. Just had Phở Dalat on Kyrene… it doesn’t even compare to this place. Phở Thanh is cheaper and tastier, just go here if you want Phở. I regret going to Phở Dalat today and wish we went here instead…

The food here is a miss and hit. I am Vietnamese so I know how Vietnamese food are suppose to taste like and Phở Thanh just doesn’t know how to cook some of their foods. Heres why:
Bun Rieu: The broth was bland! Bun Rieu is suppose to have a sweet savory taste from the crab mix and there wasn’t any crab mix in it. The tofu tasted like it was left frozen for a long time because I could still taste the residue of the tofu being frozen for a long time. The bowl looked so messy like it was toss around before serving. After all, Bun Rieu was not good at all.
Cam Tam Dac Biet: I also got my friend a rice plate and I will say, the rice plate here is pretty good. Give you the right amount of food and rice to satisfied your taste. No complain about their rice plate.
Service: The service here is so HORRIBLE! The waiter gave us our food was so bad. He like literally slid our food and toss the silverware on the table. Gave us our food and did not say anything at all. He even had such a grumpy face like he was not happy with his job. Terrible service here. I absolutely do not like the service here at all. After several visits I am only writing a review because of their service.

In love with this place. The MOST authentic Vietnamese phở in town. This is where we go to get phở, even it’s 45 mins away. Worth the drive! We usually get the Filet mignon special bowl. Spring rolls are wesome too. Cheap prices for awesome portion with a fair amount of meat.

Absolutely love it here! Food is always amazing! Don’t expect any great service, it’s a very interesting environment to say the least.

Love this place. I typically order the phở ga or phở tai. Spring rolls are awesome as well! Really I don’t think there’s anything you could order here and go wrong — the other reviews paint a good picture of the fare. My only real gripe is the «to go» (or lack thereof) service. They don’t answer their phone /​I regularly get a weird message about their mailbox. So ordering ahead is next to impossible. If you’re planning on placing a to go order — proceed directly back to the payment counter. I usually just pop a squat in front of the to go shelves they have to the right of the payment counter if I can to wait — they don’t really have a process for it. They also just kinda toss the to go orders over there. So be watchful for yours. If that process was a little easier this place would shine even more.

I honestly love this place! Cheap phở and it comes in huge bowls! The décor is a little strange but after your first bite you forget about it. Awesome good for an awesome price. Five stars.

This is one of my favorite places for Phở. It’s always so fresh and delicious. They put just the right amount of everything to enjoy it. The broth is not bland and not too salty.
The only reason why they didn’t get 4 stars is because they are lacking in the service department. I’ve had to ask numerous times for things which were forgotten. And they take forever to bring out your food.
I literally had to chase someone down to order Thai tea and that took 10 mins to come out.
They need more servers and then they would be better.

What makes good phở is a flavorful broth, and this place has hands down the best broth I’ve ever tasted. Along with that the portions were huge and the meat was tender and delicious. But the winner of this phở was the flavorful broth.
Not only that but you can get a bowl for 5 bucks which is what it should cost. But these days most places have the price hikes up to 9 or 10 dollars. But anyways, this place was truly amazing and all though it’s quite a drive from my place in Tempe it’s well worth it for the amazing phở.
I’ll definitely be coming back to this place in the very near future and would highly recommended it.

Several years ago I went here with a large group and decided not to write a review until I tried it again as I was the only person that wasn’t happy with the food and I was the only one that had made that menu choice, some sort of stir fried meat/​veggie dish on noodles. Recently I got a chance to go back with some folks and chose Phở and enjoyed it. It’s still just a basic no atmosphere place but it serves up a lot of food fast and very inexpensively. Friendly service too.

Great Phở. We come here every weekend and really enjoy the food. Great fast service. I’m always satisfied with their quality of Phở. Highly recommend it. Very affordable.

First time visitor Sunday ¹¹⁄₁₅ seeking comfort in the ways of Phở and I left satisfied… The place was busy and wait staff were hustling about to ensure everyone was seated and served in a timely manner but I think there was some confusion about who was doing what exactly.
We ordered the Phở with sliced beef and an order of the pork and shrimp summer rolls.
My girlfriend had never experienced Vietnamese cuisine prior to this and I was relieved my picky eater actually liked it! There were some young men seated next to us that had these sizzling meat dishes brought to them like fajitas in a Mexican restaurant. It was that moment when everyone looks up from slurping noodles with chopsticks to see what is coming out of the kitchen. I asked what they ordered and they said it was the shaken beef? Might try it next time?
The place is kept pretty clean with the exception of the bathrooms and I noticed the staff cleans the dining tables with standard Windex and they don’t try to hide it.
Sidenote: We paid our bill and on the way out I overheard a woman wave the staff over to her table to point out there was a black hair found in her summer roll.

This place is the shizz.
Best broth in town. Extensive menu. Lots of tables and space. Ultimate hangover cure. The bowl is a huge serving! I have heard that the broth has magical healing powers. Ok, I made that up but Phở always makes me feel so good!
Clean, fast, delicious and inexpensive. Don’t miss this joint!

Went here today because I missed the OCT 2015 International Supper Club Unofficial Unilocal Event (UYE). Norm R was right. This place has the best Phở in Phoenix.
This place is situated in a nondescript strip mall of Asian inspired shops. I have literally passed it a dozen times and have never noticed it.
it looks like a bingo hall on the inside with these tables with numbers on them. Fluorescent lights lining the drop ceiling and rectangle folding (–like) tables with 6 or 8 chairs at most of them.
The Phở is relatively inexpensive. I didn’t realize, ordering the oxtail Phở, that I was ordering one of the most expensive things on the menu at $ 12. I am one of those weirdos who order Phở for the broth and the beef. I’m indifferent about the noodles and rarely eat much of them. The broth here is the best I’ve had in Phoenix. This was a warm treat on a chilly rainy day.
The place was packed too. I was surprised, but then maybe not. It was a rainy cool day in PHoenix. Who wants to be out? Apparently others had the same thoughts as I, let’s get Phở!
Return factor: 90%

If you’re looking for the best phở in Phoenix, you can stop your search immediately and go directly to this place.
If you’re looking for great friendly service, keep searching. Phở thanh is notorious for its amazing food and apathetic service. Your business won’t be appreciated, but you will be served quickly and you’ll still be happy.
Not sure what to order? The egg rolls are delicious for an appetizer. The Thai iced tea or iced offer are superb. My favorite entrée is the phở soup with rice noodles and filet mignon (add vegetables).

Love the new improvements! They’ve taken over the adjacent store space so the restaurant is now bigger than ever. Service is always fast and the food is excellent and inexpensive, as always. This place is now the standard by which I judge all other Vietnamese restaurants in the Valley.

This is a great place. Very busy. Great Phở.
I had the spring rolls and a large combo bowl.
The bowl was packed, more meat in this bowl than any other phở place I’ve been.
Great flavor. Only draw back, meat had a little more fat on it than I would like.
Great place I’ll be back.

I’ve been here more times than I can count on my hands and feet combined… But I don’t know why I’ve never written a review! I saw my cousins and thought that I was totally slacking so here we go!
This place is a bit sketch at night, and not my favorite to come alone to be honest. But I will saw that I’ve had really good and authentic dishes here. The phở ga, tamarind soup, and the crab soup that I cannot spell to save my life are great. The tamarind soup comes with rice on the side to spoon in, and is one of my favorite things ever. The sugar cane shrimp is tasty as well. Bun xeo wasn’t bad here but I like Com Tam in Mekong Plaza better for that.
The drinks here are pretty good, I’ve had quite a few… I don’t know if my sodium levels are messed up, but I definitely like salted plum soda!
I know the location is meh… But it’s not supposed to be like Dominicks!

So, I’ve only been here once thus far, but I’m so glad I came. First impressions are good. The focus here is certainly on the food. Similar to Mi Maxim, the décor is minimal; the restaurant is setup to be functional, more like an eatery than a restaurant. Which I don’t mind _​at all_​when the food is good and affordable. Check and check.
I tried a dish unfamiliar to me: Canh Chua Chay. It was delicious. I loved the abundance of veggies. Add some soy sauce and chili paste… mmmmm! The spring rolls (vegetarian) where a little dry, but not bad.
Service was all right. The server was prompt to ask if we were ready to order… like 1 – 2 minutes prompt. We needed more time and he was more timely in his return. We later asked for water and were provided with a big pitcher (a giant, blue, plastic mason jar to be specific). Afterwards, we really didn’t see him. We did end up getting his attention to find out that we just pay at the counter, using our table number (posted on the edge of the table; 6A for us).
Seeing as this place is only a mile from my front door, I hope to walk over sometime when the asphalt isn’t molten anymore and dine again!

I’ve been here a couple times and gotten the phở with everything both times. Love the phở here, I guess you could say it’s… Phonomenal! The broth is super flavorful and the best part is that a huge bowl of phở is under 7 bucks. The phở comes with a dish full of basil, limes, jalapeño, cilantro, and bean sprouts to add to your phở as well. If you want high quality phở for a price you can’t beat, stop on by!
The shrimp spring roll here is also very good and they have a yummy peanut sauce to go with it!
