Pho 79 and Bar

Good food and service side items need more attention like chopsticks and condiments.

Arrived 30mins before closing and was told we cant eat in because they need time to clean dinning room. The restaurant needs to post separate dinning hours if this is the case. Typically restaurants post the last time they will seat guests. If i had been there at 8, and was not finished eating they would not have made me leave to clean….. i will make the drive across Norfolk and go to the 21st location!

It's a solid place for pho. They took it easy on the cilantro which made my husband happy. The bed broth was delicious, the portions were large, and all the ingredients were fresh. Our server's English is a work in progress, but to be fair, he came back to double check what we had ordered and got it right. The Boba came as a smoothie (we like it that way) even though we had asked and he said it was over ice (it would have still been good). The cjm wing appetizer had a very good chili sauce dip.

This Pho 79 was less than par with other locations. Relatively fast service but chicken bone broth was weak and lukewarm. Limited wait staff. Building in my opinion is too open and does not have cozy atmosphere. Perhaps the concept is more contemporary.

DO NOT COME HERE. I don’t like writing bad reviews, but this is the worst pho place I have ever been to. The server seemed like he didn’t care at all or want to be there. My pho wasn’t hot. I got my spring roll at the end when it was supposed to be an appetizer. This place is also pretty pricey. I will never come back here.

I am here for the first time tonight. I have been to 2 other locations for this place. Service was fast and friendly, even though they seemed a bit short staffed. The food came out pretty fast. I had the #4 Pho with beef round. I have never had a bad meal or experience at Pho 79. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking and entrance.
