" What a great spot! The pho is delightful and tastes authentic. I had a large bowl and was impressed with the amount of meat and fresh herbs provided. While the service was pleasant, I did have to wait a bit longer than expected for my order to arrive. I also think the place could do with some cleaning and updating the decor. Still, I would be happy to recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic pho! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in the area, you must try Pho 54! The pho is seriously amazing! Each bowl comes with a generous portion of tender meat, and the broth is comforting. I am a bit put off by the outdated fixtures and overall appearance of the restaurant, but it doesn’t matter much when the food is this good. Even the appetizers were tasty. Just remember to have cash – it’s a cash-only establishment! Overall, a solid 4! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho 54 is not just a restaurant; it's an experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with the warm smells of spices and simmering broth. The pho is fresh and well-prepared, the beef is tender and flavorful, and the portion sizes? Wow! Massive and extremely satisfying. My only nitpick would be the cash-only policy, but honestly, I can overlook that for a bowl that hits the spot. I rate it a perfect 5! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Pho 54 was wonderful! The pho had a lovely aroma and was chock-full of fresh ingredients. The decor could use some improvements, but they offer great service and a welcoming attitude. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the portions were certainly fulfilling. I appreciate how they have authentic menu options. Overall, a solid 4-star experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this place while looking for authentic Vietnamese food, and I was not disappointed! My bowl of pho was huge and delicious, brimming with wonderful flavors. I love how they let you customize the toppings at the table. The only downside was that the service felt a little unorganized on my visit, though I wouldn't say it detracted from the overall experience. I'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't think I've tasted better pho than at Pho 54! It is evident that they cook their broth with attention, allowing it to develop rich flavors. The portions are enormous and definitely worth the price. I've been several times and can generally rely on good service, but on one occasion they seemed overwhelmed by the crowd. Nonetheless, this remains my go-to pho spot in the Bay. I'm giving a 5 out of 5! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Pho 54 for the first time and I can say, without a doubt, that it won't be my last! The pho is absolutely packed with flavors, the broth was rich and savory, and the portion size was enormous. I loved how the fresh herbs were provided alongside the dish. Although the restaurant has a no-frills atmosphere, the food more than makes up for it. I do wish they accepted cards, but bringing cash wasn't a big deal for me at all. Overall, I'm giving this place a 5! I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
