" Phở Bằng is a quaint little spot that you shouldn't miss! Arriving during a busy lunch hour, I was impressed at how quickly the staff managed the influx of customers. I ordered the beef pho and it was fabulous — rich broth with a good balance of spices. Plus, there were plenty of toppings to customize your meal, including fresh herbs and chilies. The pricing is very reasonable for the portion size, and I left feeling full and happy! My only quibble is that the atmosphere could use a little more character, but it’s a small sacrifice for that tasty pho. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Phở Bằng was just okay. The pho was decent but nothing spectacular compared to some other places I've tried. The staff was polite but seemed overwhelmed, and as a result, the service was a bit slow. I probably will try another place next time, but it wasn’t horrible either. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent authentic Vietnamese food! Visited with my family, and we were all impressed by the quality and taste. The menu offered a variety of options which ensured everyone found something they loved. The staff was genuinely kind and lively, making our meal feel even more welcoming. I will suggest this place to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Phở Bằng after hearing the recommendations. The food was good but not outstanding. The pho was decent and so were the spring rolls. The atmosphere felt cozy, though it lacked a certain charm. I found myself wanting more from the overall experience; perhaps it was just an off day. I can imagine it might be better at lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed bag for me. While the food was decent, I found it lacking some of the flavors I was hoping for; perhaps they've toned it down for a broader audience? The decor left something to be desired as it feels quite plain. However, the service was attentive and care was taken with every order. " (*Curated Review*)

" A throwback to the best of Vietnamese cuisine, Phở Bằng captures the heart of authentic flavors. Their pho is generously portioned, with a rich broth that makes every spoonful delightful. The ambiance is casual and unpretentious, focusing on the food instead of the decor. My only complaint was how busy it was during lunchtime, leading to longer waits for food — but honestly, it's worth it. The kindness of the staff balances out any minor delays. 10/10 recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Phở Bằng, I leave satisfied. Their pho is flavorful, and you can taste the authenticity in every spoonful. The staff is generally friendly if a bit rushed during peak hours. Highly recommend for anyone craving a good bowl of pho! " (*Curated Review*)
