Total surprise. Was not expecting how good and fresh the food would be. Had to come back the next night because they had to close to go out of town and we would be gone when they came back... having the roasted duck tonight. Can't...wait.More

Formerly a favorite place for Vietnamese soup (Pho) and rice or noodle dishes. Used to eat there often, introduced many guests to eat there. Would have rated it 4 stars since the ambience is 'hole in the wall' tables, chairs and decorations. The most recent...visit the Pho broth was terrible. No flavor. I did not eat it and didnt want to take it home. Mentioned it to waitress and waiter with no correction to the bill. They know me from eating there often but have not been back. Watching other reviews to see if it has been fixed. It was better than the other options nearby and I miss going.More

Delicious and flavorful pho, and for such an affordable price! My boyfriend and I split one bowl, eat to our full and always take home extra! The crispy egg rolls are delicious as well as the spring rolls! Definitely recommend, not the fanciest looking place...but don't judge till you try!!More

There may be another pho joint in mobile now. But this one is the best because of portions, taste and friendly service. Wait staff is friendly, and swift on service. $8 for a giant bowl of flank steak pho! (The #9 - trust me, it's...where pho newbies should start. Just steak, no tendon or tripe.) Trimmings of bean sprouts, mint and cilantro are all fresh. $8 for a giant plate of good seafood combo chow mein full of real crab! The shrimp spring rolls are so crisp and fresh - no frying - along with a great peanut sauce. We both took home leftovers, at an amazing price. The cold sweet jasmine tea is a great change from the usual sweet tea offered at restaurants around here. Support local!More

I've eaten here several times, the first by recommendation of a very picky friend. It's terrific. The decor is basic -- simple chairs and tables. The food, though, is incredible. The broth they use for pho is spiced correctly and very flavorful. The prices are...great, too, with a large bowl of pho coming in under $8.More

Went here on Saturday night for dinner with husband. Place had about 4 tables filled, was well lit, and the server was quick and courteous. I had chicken pho. Fresh sprouts, basil, and two slices of pepper. Broth was very tasty and slices of chicken...Breast were tender. Husband had beef and spring roll vermicelli bowl. Beef was sweet and tender and rolls were good. Had sliced zucchini and cabbage in the bowl. Only complaint was I could have used more sliced peppers and perhaps some cabbage to add to the pho and less sprouts.More

My wife and I had the pho and my son had the rice and pork. The pho itself was poor to fair, the veggies were not fresh, the ambiance was drab and dated. I was just passing through the area but would not recommend this...restaurant if you're looking for good Vietnamese fare.More

If you are looking for traditional Vietnamese cooking, you are looking for Pho 88. IT IS SO GOOD! It is my favorite Asian restaurant in Mobile. I enjoy the noodle dishes the most, but the soups are equally good. All the dishes have a great...price and the portions are huge. A couple could definitely split a meal and be full. Most of the flavors are earthy and as I said it is traditional Vietnamese cooking. It isn't everyone's flavor, but it's one of mine ;)More

The portions were huge! Amazing flavors, especially loved the soup. Think delicious Asian food served in a diner-like atmosphere. We stopped to eat here because it was on the way to where we were going and it had good TripAdvisor reviews: next time Pho 88...will be the destination because the food is worth the journey.More

After living in Mobile for 3 years and trying a couple of other Vietnamese places, we finally made it to Pho 88. They have fast, friendly service, and the food is great. We normally get a bowl of Pho. We prefer the Hue style, #7....It's the spiciest on the menu. We've also tried other dishes like beef chow fun and grilled pork. Prices are very reasonable. We're glad to have found this restaurant. After living in Asia and Hawaii for nearly 20 years, it's nice to have some authentic Asian food choices nearby.More

We love this quaint little place. I've been hooked since I had their #9 Pho, extra large. I get it often there with an excellent Durian smoothie - the best ever! My wife has tried numerous other items on the menu, and I've tasted them...all - and we've both been extremely pleased. I think this could very well be one of Mobile's best kept secrets!More

Bun cha gio, I think it's called, is excellent! It's a rice vermicelli salad with lettuce, cucumber, carrots, finely chopped peanuts, cilantro, with 4(yes 4!) crispy egg rolls(really spring rolls but they call them egg rolls) on top. It's served with a fish sauce that...is not fishy just delicious! Also their spring rolls(which are really summer rolls) are pretty good, but the ones @ taste of vietnam have them beat!More
