My experience at Pho Viet was unprecedented and absolutely superb. I am from San Francisco and we pride ourselves on our exceptional standard for authentic asian cuisines, particularly vietnamese. I sauntered into Pho Viet expecting to be disappointed but was almost instantly impressed.
The aesthetic is open and understated and the space is brilliantly clean a clear. Everybody in the restaurant seemed really excited to be there which brought an uplifting and spirited bounce to the atmosphere. Pho Viet is a family owned restaurant and the owner (Peter) really makes an effort to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. He is inspiringly passionate about serving the communities around Phoenix authentic vietnamese food and, as a first time guest from out of town, I instantly felt like a guest in his home.
I started my dining experience with an ice cold glass of vietnamese coffee at the bar. The coffee was brewed right in front of me and smelled sweet and delicious. It was poured over ice and drank smooth as silk, bringing on that charming coffee buzz.
For appetizers I had the grilled pork spring rolls. I will order these EVERY time I come here. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and the pork was exquisitely grilled to perfection with a touch of sweetness. They come with a rather zesty dipping sauce, which is delicious, however, I recommend trying them with the restaurants very own chili sauce, which helps accentuate the flavors while simultaneously adding a bit of kick.
The owner (Peter) recommended I try the Pho Dac Biet for my main course (the staff here are always more than happy to help you find something to your liking if you are inexperienced ordering Vietnamese food). I ended up going with Peter's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The Pho comes out gloriously steaming in a large porcelain bowl and is set down in front of you as if it is a gift offering before a king. Fresh sprouts and spices are brought out on a separate plate so you can customize the soup to your liking. The soup broth was fresh and flavorful and yet still had that clean simplified essence that you hope for in vietnamese food. The rice noodles were some of the best I've ever had and beef was just the right amount of tender. Really, I couldn't imagine a better bowl of Pho.
One of the greatest things about the whole experience was how cheap it all was. When the bill came out at the end of the meal, I couldn't believe how little I was being asked to pay for such exceptional food! Next time I'm back in Phoenix this is the first place I'll go.
Great food! Great service! Great Price!
