Phở Minh

Vietnamese Restaurant $ 4.4 (311)


Phở Minh is celebrated for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine, particularly its rich and flavorful broth that many patrons rave about. The restaurant's charm lies in its simplicity and focus on quality food, although service may be hit or miss at times. The cash-only policy and no-frills atmosphere can be a drawback for some customers, yet it remains a favorite spot for both locals and visitors seeking genuine flavors.

" This was my first time at Phở Minh and I was pleasantly surprised! The pho had a deep and delicious flavor that I was not expecting. However, the atmosphere felt quite casual, and I noticed it could get a bit loud when crowded. The service was friendly enough, and although I had to ask for my check a bit longer than expected, I'd still recommend it. Just make sure to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon entering Phở Minh for the first time, I was struck by how unpretentious the place felt. The pho was good but not exceptional. There was a noticeable lack of flavor depth in the broth, which was disappointing for someone who frequents Vietnamese restaurants. However, the service was prompt, and the server was polite enough. The ambiance left much to be desired, as it felt a bit cramped and noisy. While I enjoyed my meal, I’m not sure it would make my top favorites. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phở Minh is the quintessential place for a simple but authentic pho experience! I love how they present the dishes accompanied by various fresh herbs and hot sauces. The service was prompt, and I felt welcomed even though it’s very casual. It’s a cash-only establishment, but the prices are super reasonable considering the quality of the food. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve recommended Phở Minh to all my friends. It truly embodies the flavors of Vietnam. When you take your first sip of the broth, you know you’ve found something special. The only downside was the somewhat slow service during peak hours. But hey, good things take time, right? On a cold day, this place hits the spot, and it’s always nice to get a warm bowl of pho. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard nothing but great things about Phở Minh, and I finally made it there last week. The pho was quite flavorful, although a bit saltier than I typically like. However, the fresh herbs and accompaniments they provided really added quality to the meal. While the environment was chaotic, I still thought it was worth the visit and will likely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Phở Minh was one of the highlights of my trip to Pittsburgh! The pho is absolutely divine - rich, flavorful, and perfect for a chilly day. The restaurant itself is cozy and has that authentic 'hole in the wall' charm. The owner was very welcoming and even offered us a complimentary tea while we waited. My family and I were so impressed, we made sure to return the next day! Just remember to bring cash as they don't accept cards! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Phở Minh several times now, and I’ve never been disappointed. Initially, I was hesitant about how it looked inside, being quite simple and casual, but the food speaks for itself. Delicious pho with a perfect combination of spices in the broth. I always try to take my friends there, and they all leave satisfied. They do take cash only, so just be aware of that before you go!
