Food: Not impressed palate

Pho Vie's notable dishes such as Pho Oxtail and Egg Rolls might be their saving grace. The tender, flavorful Pho Oxtail, identified as an exceptional pho experience along with the freshly fried, flavor-packed Egg Rolls are the stipulations that pull the restaurant's reputation from sinking fully. Nonetheless, the neutral feedback on freshness and deprecating evaluations on the flavor question the consistency of their offerings.

  • Large Portions

    Portions are generous, large, and customers feel very satisfied after.

  • Okay Taste

    Average, decent food experiences mentioned, though not overwhelmingly positive.

Vibe: Depressive atmosphere

Pho Vie's ambiance is often described as dirty, with ugly and dingy lighting, creating an overall uncomfortable atmosphere. Any romantic notions are quickly dispelled by the unsuitable conditions for a date night. The lack of a variety in alcoholic drink options combined with its unappealing and non-photogenic qualities do nothing to uplift the downbeat vibe.

  • Okay Drinks

    Offers wine and beer, yet lacks expansive alcoholic drink options.

  • Bad Buzz

    Place needs renovation; looks unappealing and not photogenic.

Perks: Mediocre conveniences

More damning than the decor, however, are the accounts of horrible service and rude staff. An unprofessional demeanor seems rife within Pho Vie's walls, casting a pall over any positives the shared supermarket parking or group accommodation might bring. Such damaging reports on service standards are rarely conducive to repeat visits.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates big groups with great service, spacious and welcoming.

  • Okay To Park

    Shared parking with supermarket; generally easy to find a spot.

  • Bad Service

    Horrible service with rude staff, unprofessional service, and neglect.
