" This place is quite the gem! From the moment you step in, the smell of authentic pho greets you. The oxtail pho I ordered was exceptionally good, with the meat falling off the bone and a broth that was incredibly flavorful. I enjoyed how generous they were with the herbs and toppings too. The atmosphere was bustling with energy. Just a note that only cash is accepted. I will surely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 left quite an impression on me! The first thing that hit me was the authentic aroma as I walked in. The oxtail pho I had was flavorful, with the broth being rich and not too greasy. I loved the generous portion sizes – definitely more than enough to fill you up. The place was busy, but the service was quick and efficient. Just a reminder to come prepared with cash, but it's totally worth it! I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 gave me an authentic Vietnamese experience. The broth was rich and flavorful while the meat was tender. I will note that during my visit, it was quite crowded, which can make for a noisy atmosphere. The service was quick, but it was hard to flag staff down at times. Because they only accept cash, make sure to prepare ahead of time! Overall, a good experience despite minor inconveniences. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience at Pho 79! The staff was friendly and welcoming upon arrival. I got the pho tai and it was exquisite – the meat was high-quality and the broth had depth and complexity. The only downside was the line, but it moved relatively quickly. Being cash-only is always a bonus because it speeds up the payment process. I can't say enough good things; it’s now my go-to pho place when I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 has become my go-to restaurant for pho in the city. The flavors in the broth are rich and complex. The staff are always friendly and attentive, which is a big plus. The only downside is the demand is high; sometimes you do have to wait for a table, but it's well worth it. As a bonus, the oxtail is a must-try too! Totally recommend this place. " (*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*)
