" Honestly, I think Pho #1 might be overrated. Sure, the food was nice, but I've visited better spots in the area. The pho broth was decent, but not rich enough for my taste. I found the noodles to be slightly overcooked as well. The service was efficient but not overly warm or inviting. I might return just to give it another shot, but I wouldn’t recommend it to friends. Overall, it was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the experience was hit or miss. On my first visit, the food was incredible, especially the pho. Upon returning, I was disappointed with how bland my meal was. I felt the portion sizes could be improved too, as I left still feeling hungry. I hope to see some improvements, as I’d love to love this place! Service was decent each time, never overly friendly but always efficient. " (*Curated Review*)

" A very solid restaurant offering tasty Vietnamese dishes. I liked the atmosphere a lot; it’s gentle and inviting. My only real complaint revolves around the size of the portions compared to the price, which felt a bit high for what I got. I’d be happy to return if my friends want to go back, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have finally found my go-to place for pho! The ingredients are so fresh, and it shows in every bite. I ordered the beef pho and it was perfectly cooked—tender meat, aromatic broth, and great portion size. The restaurant itself has a comforting atmosphere, perfect for dining alone or with a group. It's also clean and well-maintained which is a big plus for me. After several visits, the consistent quality of their food remains impressive. I’m already dreaming about my next bowl! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly looking forward to my visit to Pho #1, but I have to say I was slightly disappointed. The service was friendly and prompt, but my meal was mediocre. I had hoped for a flavorful pho, but it came out quite bland, lacking the richness I’ve had elsewhere. They might need to enhance the spices in their broth—just a thought! Overall, I may give it another try, but maybe not right away. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I decided to try Pho #1 Noodle House! Everything was excellent: from the service, which was quick and friendly, to the food which was delicious. Every bowl of pho I’ve had here has been bursting with flavor, and the fresh, authentic ingredients really shine through. The atmosphere is nice and inviting, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything at Pho #1 was fresh and tasty. The staff were welcoming, and the whole dining experience was enjoyable. The bun bo hue was the star of the meal, brimming with robust flavors I haven’t encountered elsewhere. The atmosphere complemented my meal perfectly—everything felt elegant yet relaxed. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
