Pho Brandon Vietnamese Cuisine

We love Phở Brandon and probably get takeout phở once a week. It’s fast, delicious, piping hot, and inexpensive. The staff is friendly and we are big time fans.

Where has Phở been all my life?! I know, I know. I am a little late to the game on the whole «Phở» thing. and man, What the heck was I waiting for?! I wish I knew what I had been missing, cause. Wowza! I am obsessed, Phở-​So!
When asking my fellow Unilocalers where to go for a fantastic experience, I was directed to a bunch of places but Phở Brandon seemed to be on the top of everyone’s list — especially since I was not familiar to the cuisine, it was suggested to start out here. I started at another place (that was super yummy), but when I came here. it was a whole new ballgame!
Greet upon arrival and told to pick any seat you’d like — I always prefer a booth in the corner. The gentleman working comes over immediately to drop off a menu and pour you a glass of water while you check out all the yummy-​ness they have to offer. They do serve beer, so if that’s your thing, grab on up. it goes perfectly with Phở! I love that the waitstaff will help make suggestions when your on the fence. especially when it comes to my Boba Smoothies selections (I always wanna try something crazy but they steer me back in the right direction). The service is exactly what I think of as perfection — I’m seated, my order is taken then dropped off, I’m checked on (once or twice) and that’s it. I’m able to sit and enjoy my meal without feeling totally bombarded. That, in my eyes, is fantastic!
Onto the goodness. the Food! For those who are not into Phở, there are plenty of other options on the menu — Spring Rolls, Chicken Wings, Banh Mi Sammies and so much more. but it’s the Phở that brings me in! The beef broth is absolutely fantastic. so flavorful and has this feeling of comfort and warmth. Ahh! You will find this totally crave-​worthy! My go-to’s are the #22 and #23 (the Eye Round Steak or the Brisket) — the meat cooks up perfectly in the broth and just melts in your mouth. Each bowl of Phở (which comes in Small or Regular) comes with a plate of «Add Ins» — Thai Basil, Bean Sprouts, Fresh Jalapeños and a Lime Wedge — combine this with the (Amazing) Chili Sauce, Sriracha and/​or Soy Sauce that is on the table — you are sure to make your most perfect bowl. Personally. A handful of bean sprouts, some jalapeño and a whole lot of chili sauce and I am one happy girl! Comfort food to the max! Having a bad day? Hungover? Or just feeling «meh»?? Come here! This might just be your cure all!
On the way out. Grab a Boba Smoothie to-​go — Thai Tea is wonderful — My Absolute Fave (a little bit of sweet and totally hits the spot), but the Taro is a close second — A great way to finish your experience!
If your are a newbie to Vietnamese. Phở Brandon is the place to go! A special thanks to my fellow Unilocalers who pointed me in the right direction — You are all the Best Ever! Don’t be the last one to try Phở Brandon. It’s the real deal and «too legit to quit!» Need it in my life daily! Go! And go Now…
Let me know what ya think.

I can’t believe how delicious the food is for the price. I would eat here at least once a week if we lived nearby. If you love Phở, you can’t beat this place! And the Lemongrass Pork Chop (#76) was so tender and flavorful — mmmmm. Love this gem!

My husband and I wanted to try out a new place and we ended up here and it’s amazing! Everything is so fresh. We had #50 and #5 it’s GOOD we will definitely come back soon. Oh and the price is good $ another good reason to come back :)

I know, I know, everyone loves this restaurant. Me, not so much. In all honesty, this is only the second time I have had Vietnamese food. With that being said, I am not the best judge of Vietnamese food. Plenty of the awesome reviews for Phở Brandon have been written by close friends and fellow Elites, who’s judgement I totally respect, so my review, as always, is just my opinion.
The neighborhood is not the best. But if you know me then you know that I am afraid of my own shadow. Still, I was nervous walking to my car and held my purse for dear life. Again, this is just my observation of the neighborhood.
I ordered the Korean Ribs (10.50). I did not like them at all. The meat was tough, chewy and flavorless. The white rice was lumpy and not worth the calories. We shared an order of wings and I thought they were good. Not good enough to come back just for wings, but they were tasty.
Our server was great. He was very helpful and great about splitting up our bill. I thought the restaurant itself could have been a bit cleaner, but again, this is my observation.
Sorry if this review isn’t more helpful, but I really didn’t like it and I left hungry. I went home and had scrambled eggs. Who does that after having dinner out???
I will not return. My first Vietnamese experience at another restaurant on 441 in Lauderhill was extremely different and I had a good experience.

The best Vietnamese in South Florida so far. Not quite NE or West Coast quality or exciting flavor profile, but enough options to satisfy you’re Vietnamese cravings and better than nearly all others down in S Fla. For example, Banh mi is decent but rather bland. Why? The pickled carrots and daikon lack and real pickling and the harmony of spice to pickle, savory meat, and light crisp bread won’t challenge a NY Banh mi just yet. Also, I do wish they offered lemongrass beef and used slightly higher grade meats and seafood. But, the prices are low and very fair and the food quality is in line with anything else down here, I’m just spoiled by other cities. In summary, my current go to Vietnamese spot and love the late hours on weekends. Finally a healthy late night option. Eat here, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m from Boston and I love phở. Found this place on Unilocal while I am in Florida for business. Let’s cut to the chase. The phở broth is excellent. Savory, a tiny bit spicy and sweet. I had the brisket which was tender and fresh. Great phở!
I had the spring rolls for an appetizer. They were also fresh and rather large in comparison to others I’ve had in the past.
Also tried the Saigon Vietnamese beer. I’ve had Sapporo and singha but this was my first time trying the Saigon. It’s crisp and worked perfectly with the hot phở that I dumped Siracha into.

Great prices for their daily lunch special. $ 7.25 — $ 7.75 for a big bowl of phở and your choice of spring roll or chicken wing. Phở broth was good so much better than Basillic in Boca Raton. Don’t be alarmed by the strip mall it’s in. A hidden gem in Sunrise.

The best Phở i’ve Ever had… Phở Tai Chin Vien w extra shrimp… Add litte hoisin, sriracha and the veggies … To Die For

Been going here for over 2 years. No more. Food is good but the owner is extremely rude and nasty. His wife used to be the cook but left when they opened a new restaurant, the food is definitely not as good.
I understand being a business owner and the pressure but a hello goes a long way. His only waitress only fills and refills water and does not take orders. He runs around like a mad man taking orders cleaning tables and passing out food. His little boy is always running around and interrupting the customers. Sorry, but not appropriate.
There are several other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. My family and I are done with this one.

Giving them a 4 only because he was a little rude when I returned my food but he gave me the wrong order. But I think he felt bad and made up for it lol. Great food tho.

The phở is as good as any you will find in south Florida. The Baguette sandwiches are great. No crowds seems suspect but food good so don’t fret.

The best service, quality, food and prices. Having the ultimate Chicken Bahn-​Mi sandwich and Saigon beer.

One of the more decently priced Viêt places around the area.
This is my first visit here so I’m writing this review solely based on first impressions.
The lunch menu made ordering food a lot quicker since it narrowed down our options nicely. A majority of the lunch menu is priced at $ 7.25, which is comparable to California prices! Comes with an egg roll or 2 chicken wings
My dad ordered PH ĐC BIT which is your classic special combination at an Viêt restaurant. He and I had no complaints. If you’re not sure what to get, just get that. Safest choice.
I got the grilled chicken and rice, which was really normal in my opinion. I just expected a bigger piece of chicken breast.
The inside décor isn’t too appealing so do not come expecting a classy meal. This place is more for a quick and light bite.
Service is good. Waiter promptly took our orders and brought out the food quite fast also. Good job!

The location for this restaurant is not very good, but the quality of their food is very good. We had their green papaya salad with shrimp, and it was excellent. Everything was fresh, and the combination of flavors was just right. Serving sizes are big, so one of these salads could be shared by 2 or 3 as an appetizer. We also tried the vegetarian phở and spring rolls, and they were both very good.
This place is very casual, simple, low budget décor, but offers fast service and good food. Great choice if you are in the mood for good Vietnamese food.

Brought my boyfriend here another day. He’s not a huge fan of phở, but he ordered the beef broth chicken phở and the chicken banh mi. It was so good he ordered another banh mi and I took his chicken soup home. I have never had chicken phở and I have to say it was really delicious. The chicken was grilled and seasoned before placed in the soup, but the seasoning really makes the soup have a hint of sweetness. The banh mi was perfectly toasted and flavored. Yummmmmm!

I’m not the biggest connoisseur of Phở or VIetnamese food in general-​I prefer Chinese and Sushi-​but I was with someone who LOVES it. So we went for some soup.
This place is a teeny tiny little shop in a slightly abandoned strip mall, not quite a dive, but definitely not fine dining either. Don’t expect white gloves, but the service was good and fast. Prices were good from what I remember for Vietnamese food-​actually pretty inexpensive but we didn’t order drinks.
The amount of food that comes in one large bowl of soup is unreal. I was chock full and about to burst after one spring roll and half a large bowl of soup. Couldn’t finish it. It’s not the kind of thing you can take home in a doggy bag (you can try, but it doesn’t work very well). Regardless, the flavor was fantastic from what I remember with phở and there were about 15 different flavors to choose from. The menu was all authentic in a bunch of different languages but for ease of ordering you can say «I want the #24», especially if you have no idea how to pronounce things like me.
We came on a Monday night when there was nobody in there at 9:00, so our food came our lickety split, so can’t complain. It was a quick meal in and out, hot and delicious. Not usually my first choice for a quick eat but good nonetheless. Would consider again due to clear authenticity which is hard to find around here.

Great place to get Vietnamese food. We went on a Sunday and ordered the noodle bowls with pork and egg rolls. The food was great, the server brought it and we proceeded to devour it.
The tables have an array of sauces like sriracha, hoisin and chili hot sauce to spice up your meal, also the meal is served with fork and knife if you are not comfortable eating with chopsticks, there is the option for those who prefer forks. I would like to return and try other things in the menu, it is hard for me to deviate from ordering the noodle bowls, they are just so good!

Sometimes our friends are more enlightened than us — such is the case with Diane and Clyde and Vietnamese food!
Years ago hubby and I ate in a Vietnamese restaurant and the whole meal was like a punishment — we were served unfamiliar foods that were beyond our experience, and we disliked it. Hubby swore off of Vietnamese food from that meal forward. A few months ago Diane and Clyde invited us to dine with them at the Noodle House and hubby would have no part of it, but I went and the food was good. Hubby remained unconvinced to go there, however.
Now I have the flu and Julio suggested that a bowl of phở would do me good. I sent hubby to Phở Brandon because it’s not far from our neighborhood and it’s highly recommended by several of our Unilocal friends. I actually texted him items to order from the menu and he ordered and picked up the food.
Did you hear the angels sing tonight or see the clouds part in the sky? If not you missed the moment when hubby stated the food was good and the phở, in particular, was delicious. That was his thoughts about our take-​out order! We are planning on dining at the restaurant in the future because he believes it’ll be even better! Wow, maybe it’s the fever talking but I think he is actually open to going out for Vietnamese food!
The phở is a bowl of balanced flavors — lime, basil, culantro, onions, steak, brisket, bean sprouts, rice noodles, and jalapeño immersed in a flavorful beef broth that is not salty. Wow, this is great stuff!
I ordered a lot of food (the bill was a mere $ 44) so I don’t have to cook for the next few days, and so we could try several dishes. The grilled pork is fabulous, in the bahn mi sandwich, vermicelli bowl, and as a chop over rice. The Saigon Crêpe is not the fluffy texture we know but the taste was wonderful and it was stuffed with large shrimp, beef slices and bean sprouts. There were tons of fresh herbs and marinated veggies. We have leftovers of everything.
I haven’t had an appetite for days so a bit of this and that stuffed me. Even so, I thought I should try the iced coffee with condensed milk I ordered, before the ice melted and diluted the drink. I invited hubby to try it first since once I contaminate it he wouldn’t be able to drink it. Hubby hates iced coffee but he was willing to humor me (what love!) When I watched him take 5 sips, stop and sip some more I know that I was either delirious with fever or it was the best iced coffee ever. It’s the best iced coffee ever. Notes of chocolate and sugar trickle through the thick coffee taste. The condensed milk plays nicely with the dense coffee. I would like to swim in this cup. If the phở doesn’t work, this coffee is the miracle cure! My taste buds have woken up; my will to recover is stronger. Hubby promises to get me more tomorrow. Yay!

Phở Brandon is the only Vietnamese Restaurant I have been to in the Plantation area or in fact in Florida.
With all these four star Unilocal review, I still did not come with a high expectation. However, the food we ordered here was decent.
Bun Bo Hue has all the fixing including Pig Feet, Cha Lua Vietnamese Pork Roll and even a cube of congealed pig blood. Even the noodle use is the proper bun rice vermicelli. My companion really enjoyed his Hu Tieu Seafood Clear Soup Noodle.
Service was fast and friendly.
The food can be better but I really enjoyed having a bowl of hot soup noodle after a day of shopping at Sawgrass Mills!
