I really like their pho and the spring rolls with peanut sauce are good too. Everything is very fresh tasting. The servers are friendly and service is pretty quick. I also love their avocado milkshake, sometimes I stop by and just get one to go. Its really common to find in Asia, but this is the first restaurant in the... More

This place had, at least, 10 types of pho. I had no idea there were so many. I had it a place in Indy 6 years ago and it came with beef (meatballs, strips, etc) and the rice noodles, vegetables. The place I went to in Maryland had it with chicken, pork or shrimp. I went with a traditional beef... More

An extensive pho and Vietnamese main dish menu. The food is delicious and a terrific value. The large, fragrant bowls of pho come with aplate of fresh basil and bean sprots for garnish. This little restaurant in a Route 40 shopping center is well worth a trip.

Love the food, food itself is great. But horrible service and tip is already included- one time I gave more than $5 tip on $10 pho+ Hotrible service. So watch out for that. Dont expect a great service but their pho is one of the best-

I was just ready to head to PHO #1 for lunch when I remembered that I should share my thoughts with TripAdvisor. Pho #1 has always provided us really fantastic service, delicious food, and all at an unbeatable price. I have never once had bad service or food there. My favorite: #18 small with a coconut smoothie - no boba!

I had to call the cops on this place. i asked for the owner name and manager said... More

My wife and I stopped at Pho #1 for lunch today. It was her first taste of Vietnamese cuisine and she loved it. I had the Pho Bac Biet, Goi Cuon and iced coffee. She had the Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong and a coke. The service and food were great. We'll definitely be back.
