" While I appreciate the focus on fresh ingredients at Pho 79, my experience was rather mixed. The viet coffee was amazing, but the pho lacked some depth in its flavors, which I expected given the hype. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, making it suitable for casual meals with friends. The service was efficient, and I enjoyed the food overall, but next time I might try something other than pho to see if they hit a home run elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at Pho 79, and every visit never fails to leave me satisfied! The pho here is delightful, and the spring rolls are so fresh they burst with flavor. Positive vibes fill the restaurant, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The prices are also fair for the portion sizes you get. Definitely my top choice for Vietnamese cuisine in the Twin Cities! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Vietnamese cuisine, I can't emphasize how great Pho 79 is! I have never had a bowl of pho that tasted so comforting. The broth was rich and nourishing, making it the perfect meal for a chilly day. Their spring rolls complemented the meal perfectly. My only complaint would be the wait time because it was rather busy, but the staff managed it well. Worth the wait for such delicious flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 is a treasure hidden in St. Paul! I used to live in Vietnam, so I'm always looking for authentic pho, and this place didn't disappoint! The broth was perfectly clear, and the flavors were divine. I ordered the combination pho, and the variety of meats—brisket, tripe, and beef balls—was impressive. The fresh herbs and bean sprouts on the side made it feel like home. The ambiance was pleasant with soft music playing in the background. I’ve already been two times this month and will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a fantastic time at Pho 79! The place has an unpretentious and genuine vibe. If you're after authentic Vietnamese food, this is the spot. Their pho is top notch—flavorful, hearty, and made with love. The staff was exceptional and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommend this little gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 has really made a name for itself as my favorite spot for Vietnamese food. The pho here is just what you'd expect from an authentic place—the broth is flavorful and rich, not overly greasy. I particularly love the #12 Pho Hue; it’s perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, which makes for a pleasant dining experience. I appreciate how quickly the food comes out, even during busy hours. Definitely a repeat visit for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 79 is a solid choice for delicious Vietnamese food. I tried their special pho and while it was good, I don't think it stood out compared to other Vietnamese places I’ve been to. The dining area is well-kept and inviting. Would definitely return to try their other offerings, as the fresh ingredients are evident. Overall a satisfactory experience for sure.
