" Pho 79 is a revelation! As soon as I walked in, the rich aroma of the broth enveloped me, and it only got better from there. I ordered the pho with oxtail and it was incredible – tender meat and a broth that was clearly simmered for hours. The portion sizes were generous too, making it great value for the price. Service was prompt, which I appreciated after a long wait in line. Love that they offer cash-only transactions; makes things quicker! Unsurprisingly, I can't wait to come back next week. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place to enjoy authentic pho! The experience was pleasant, as everything came out quickly and the quality of the food was commendable. I found the atmosphere to be lively, matching the bustling vibe of the restaurant. I will say that it would have been nice to have varied options for drinks. Just a tip, remember to bring cash for payment – it can be a drag to run to the ATM afterward. Nevertheless, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" After extensive searching for authentic pho, Pho 79 came highly recommended. The broth had a deep, rich flavor, but I must admit, I expected a bit more after all the accolades. The portion sizes were decent, but not overwhelming. The ambiance was full of energy, which is typical for a popular eatery, but it was a bit cramped. It seems they're cash-only, which is manageable, but surprising. I'd definitely come back to try more options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had an exceptional lunch experience at Pho 79. We ordered a variety of pho dishes including the classic and oxtail. Every dish was delicious, the flavors were vibrant and authentic, reminding us of Vietnam. The staff were friendly, but the place can get super busy, so be prepared to wait. However, the wait was worth it! Don’t forget they only accept cash which can be a hassle, but overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Pho 79 was a delightful experience. The fresh ingredients they use are apparent in every bite, and the pho broth was well-known for its depth of flavor. I particularly enjoyed the spring rolls as well; they made a perfect complement to the pho. Though we had a long wait, it was worth it; I would suggest visiting during off-peak hours if you can! Remember to bring cash - overall, a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic dining experience overall! I visited Pho 79 on a busy Friday night and was seated quite fast. I ordered the pho with chicken and was delighted to find the broth was light yet flavorful, unlike other pho places I’ve been to. The ambiance was filled with life, and though it was quite packed, the wait for the food was reasonable. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I heard much about Pho 79's reputation, I found my visit quite underwhelming. The broth lacked the traditional flavors I was expecting and the serving size felt somewhat small for the price. The atmosphere was lively, which I appreciated, but the service left something to be desired. They seemed overwhelmed with the customers. Very nice to see a cash-only operation, which really speeds things up, but the experience as a whole didn't quite live up to the hype. " (*Curated Review*)
