I haven't been to this place in years. It has changed to Pho Thien Phat it was formally Pho So 1. Well, decided to give it a go. I always go in with open honest mind, and hope it still just a as good as the former. So I am a creative habit so I normally start with "Goi Cuon" fresh shrimp & pork roll. You get 2 of them, but couldn't resist in digging in. Lol I loved the pork, shrimp, lettuceand rice wrap, but their was to much rice noodle filling for my taste. Tried the main dish "Bun Tom Thit Nuong" Grilled pork & Shrimp on rice vermicelli with no peanut on mine. It wasn't to bad l, but the pork was a little bland. All in all it was good. I may come back if I am in the area, but knowing me I am going to try other places

I have been ordering here since I was in high school. The food is always amazing. Even when I moved no matter the distance I traveled to eat here. The staff are amazing they make sure the store is clean and the service is fast. I've introduced others to try this food because someone introduced me and I want to continue to spread the love through food.

Best Vietnamese in Richmond, large dining area, fast friendly service, food is always amazing, hot and fresh

Only ordered delivery from here. I love their vermicelli dishes and it's massive! The grilled pork, grilled shrimp and spring rolls are all really good options for the vermicelli noodles.

I'm new to pho but I'm addicted. I ordered the Pho with brisket and thinly sliced beef (~$13) and a limeade (~$5). It was really good and the cold limeade compliented the piping hot pho perfectly. Although, I thought the limeade was on the expensive side I didn't regret it. I seasoned my pho (controversial, I know) with sriracha, hoison sauce, and chili oil. I added cilantro, mint, white onions, extra lime, and jalepenos. It was delicious. I noted, the fresh herbs and lime they gave me was fresh and free from blemishes. The service was great, every waitress checked in on me and my order was taken promptly. The resturant was nice and clean on the inside. I visited while on crutches and it was easy for me to get around. I would like to mention that the older lady that works there was extremely comforting and helpful. She made me feel special and I appreciated that. I saw in other reviews that it was a little dificult to find, I agree but that is not a deal breaker for me and was worth the search.

I got the pho($13) with slices of eye round steak, well done flank, fat brisket, tendon, and tripe and Vietnamese iced coffee ($6). The broth was one of the better ones in Richmond. Savory with the right amount of saltiness. There was also a generous amount of meat in the soup which I was surprised about. I very much enjoyed the Pho. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet, a very typical but good drink to have. Overall one of the better pho places in RVA, the generous meat portion is a big plus and a reason to come back again.

We stopped by here from lunch and the plsce is packed! This is a big restaurant though so there were still room for my friend and I. Orders got taken within 5 minutes and food came within 19 minutes of us sitting down. The broken rice and pork chop was delicious. I love how tender, soft and perfectly seasoned they are. Portions are big too. The summer roll is good, small rolls and meat are thin though! My friend couldn't stop eating the fried rice eventhough he was so full. We also got the rainbow desset and it is not sweet at all!

I was craving Pho, so we scanned Yelp and decided to try someplace new. Set off Horesepen in the middle of a lot of restaurants. it's pretty easy to fund. We were great and seated right when we walked in. A server arrived at our table pretty quickly to take our order, I had questions, and she didn't speak any English, so she walked away and sent someone to our table. This server answered our questions, though it was pretty abrupt. I wanted a bubble tea, too, yet he walked away too fast for me to order. Orders came out very fast. Egg roll filling was very dry I was surprised. Pho was just noodles and tofu - no vegetables. Broth was pretty flavorless Pork chop was flavored nicely What we ate: Pho Chay- vegetable noodles soup with tofu Cha Goa- pork and shrimp egg rolls Com Thit Nuong- grilled pork chop on broken rice My rating rationale  +.5 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality + 1 Presentation +.5 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

Many say Pho Tay Do or Pho 79 is better, but I don't know, I'm just reviewing on my experience here. Very satisfied with my bowl at Pho Thien Phat. Broth had the right amount of herbal punch to give me that euphoric Pho feeling. You can just tell from the first taste of the broth whether it's too light or just off in general. If Pho Tay Do or Pho 79 is better then I'm excited to try those as well because Pho Thien Phat was legit! And that's coming from someone who grew up in Falls Church, VA with Pho 75, Pho Sate, etc. You may be tempted by Richmond BBQ and burgers, but don't sleep on Richmond Pho!
