Detroit Pho & Crab Restaurant

I love this . It amazing to find an authentic pho in here. they made the beef ball in house . the broth is so good , you do not need adjust anything to it . I got the pho and the avocado shake with durian . bơ dầm. it is dawn good.

The reviews led me to this hidden gem. Our server was very accommodating, the kitchen was swift, and the food... Did NOT disappoint 🙌 the bone broth for the Pho was on point, and the seafood boil was so good 🔥

Amazingly kind owner and efficient staff. Even though they were busy, the food still came out promptly and was excellent. Especially enjoyed the seafood combo they offer. The beef balls in the pho was also exceptional. Would highly HIGHLY recommend this place!

It smells so good in here. It was crowded today but I only stood in line and waited about 5 minutes max with four people ahead of me. Food is largely portioned and prices are reasonable you may on average spend 40 dollars or more here but it’s worth it! I will return soon 😎 I got a seafood boil with shrimp, crab, and one added lobster tail , a Miami vice drink and a side of calamari for a total of 83 dollars altogether not bad my lobster tail was BIG TOO. Rachael is a great waitress!

We had the bestttttttt experience here at Detroit Pho restaurant! The food was a 10 out of 10 and was fresh and hot 🔥 🥵! We had the shaky beef and fries omgggg the taste was out of this world! The seafood boil and bag was amazing! The crab 🦀 ragoon were delicious 😋. Would definitely recommend! Ask for Rachel she was the best server ever! Ohhh and the drinks 🍸 are amazing 👏 🤩!

AMAZING FOOD AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. EVERYTIME WE GO IN WE ASK FOR LIEN, SHE IS WONDERFUL!!

The food was average. No real complaints- I enjoyed the spring rolls and egg rolls. I was not a big fan of their pho- the both for pho is everything, I couldn’t get with theirs… to each its own - though. I liked the decor- it was pretty average on cleaning- they need to clean the walls( wash them) I saw left over food on the walls by seats- which blended in - so it was most likely old food 😩 but I never expect restaurants to be spotless just no old food residue laying in sitting areas- this was probably the dirtiest thing I saw at the restaurant- it was pretty clean other than that one wall I spotted. I would dine again…. It was a nice atmosphere and the service was good- we had a minor language barrier- but the waiter was so patient, kind and attentive. I give it a 4/5! Experience is always everything for me!

The absolute best Everything!!! Best Seafood Boils, Pho, Fried foods and the drinks are immaculate!!! Your food arrive to you fresh and Hot! All of the staff is super friendly and attentive I will definitely be back🔥🔥🔥🔥

After years of service, this place still delivers. Broth is still top. Pho Dac Biet! Still #1 in Michigan. Highly recommended!

Detroit Pho and Crab truly honors their name with an extensive list of different types of pho and seafood dishes. I ordered the oysters to start which came out on a sizzling plate and were absolutely delicious. The pho was great, the star of the show is really the broth which is ADDICTIVE. The restaurant is very spacious and there are plenty of chicken, seafood and noodle dishes if pho isn't for you. I loved all the decor, it was fun and very on theme. My few gripes were that I called before arriving just to ask an approximate wait time and was told there was no way they could let me know about the wait time, I would just have to come in. She wouldn't even let me know if they were busy or not. The waiter did take a while to get to us but was nice enough to apologize when he finally got there. Overall 4/5, will be back if I make a reservation or maybe a less busy day.

Food has always been great. I always get the pho here, best broth. And all the topping you could ever need. Extensive menu. Service is super. They will stand by til you might need something. Ambiance is super casual and fun with lights a decor. Just wish they would clean their curtains. Looks like they been long over due for new ones

Came here as soon as they opened on a Saturday. They get crowded pretty fast. Didn't realize the amazing variety they have on their menu. But, I came for the seafood boil bag. It did not disappoint. The flavor was on point; the sauce is seasoned so well! I would definitely come back and try out other items on the menu.

This place has it down right for Vietnamese dishes! We're from Houston, the center of Viet- food in the US and we approve!!! Tasty dishes that's full of flavor, and they don't skimp on the proteins either. We had a party of 17 and the service was attentive. Grilled oysters and mussels were yummy. Bun Cha Ha Noi was tasty, just wished they gave me more patties than the grilled pork slices. Fried rices were good; Goi Cuon were good and looked good too. Even the pho was pretty good. Well definitely come back for more. Keep up the yummy dishes!

Food is absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the best Vietnamese food spots I've tried. Their pho broth is so rich and flavorful I could probably drink the whole bowl. The only thing is that they were crazy busy and service was verrrrry slow.

How comforting is a big bowl of Pho in the winter time, or in the summer haha! Detroit pho is crab is located in Warren MI and offered a ton of meal options including seafood boils, pho, fried rice dishes and much more. I've tried pretty much everything at this point but their Pho is fantastic. One could say, we pho all tastes the same, and that may be a little true but when you'd tried a bunch of different places you can tell the difference. Their meats and veggies are super fresh, broth is comforting and it's a big bowl of happiness. Before, I would get a seafood boil everything and I kinda ate so many I never want to see another but please come visit, very good food!

I have been frequenting Detroit Pho and Crab since they opened many moons ago. I believe I have only had one bad experience. This place is consistently delicious. I usually eat the same things every time but this year I am expanding my pallet! If you enjoy cocktails they are top shelf and full of the good stuff. If you plan to drink, let someone else drive, the drinks are strong. Next the appetizers, or pre-meal deliciousness that I enjoy are the clams with the broth and lime leaves!!!!! Omgoodness, I am not even hungry and just writing about the clams has my mouth watering. You will catch a grain of sand or two, for real, but not enough to stop me from ordering it. Next... I love the seafood gumbo! It is not stingy with seafood, and there are chucks of shrimp, and whatever else is in that bowl!!! I don't care, it's all good!! I usually don't get much of pre-meal thingamabobs because I save space for my go to, the boil bags!!! My granddaughters usually get the Pho, and I grab a sip of the delicious broth. If you want to step your toe in the waters of a different regional cuisine; try something new with their BOMB.COM fried rice and Pork chop. It is SOOO GOOD! If you aren't brave enough for the pork chop just get the rice with your favorite seafood or protein that is not seafood. Ooooooohhhhh also, fry plate is so good!! Lobster tail, shrimp, chicken tenders, all fried to perfection. The Po boys are yummy and the honey mustard (I think that's what it is), on top of the sandwich is unique and fits the sandwich perfectly. The boba teas, and smoothies are also nothing to sniff at!!! As you can see I am a fan! You should be one too. This place is not cheap, but it's fairly priced, but do plan to spend a little. SEAFOOD IS NOT CHEAP. Non seafood dishes are very reasonably priced. I told you ahead of time, so don't act like you did not know! Go forth my foodie friends and conquer the tables of my friends Detroit Pho and Crab!! It will be worth your gas!!!

Came by for an early dinner on a Sunday. There was plenty of parking and we were seated right away. We ordered the grilled oysters to start and then the bun bo hue and the grilled pork chop, shrimp bean curd, and egg rice dish. The grilled oysters might have been my favorite. They were giant oysters and the sauce on too of them was so delicious. I loved the scallions and garlic on top of them. The bun bo hue and rice dish were also very good. Portions sizes were also nice. We had the che 3 mau with durian for dessert/drink. It was really good and the durian was very fresh. I will definitely be back to try more!

This place has been very consistent. Everything I've tried has been really good. So much umami flavor. The portions are huge and I always end up taking home leftovers. The service is typically fast but obviously on the weekends when it's busier it might take a little bit. Overall, I recommend this place.

One of the best bowls of Pho I've ever had. The broth's balance was perfect! The kind where nothing needs to be added! The noodle's texture was also perfect. The meat itself was of exceptional quality. Such a well-balanced portion of broth, protein, and carbs. I love the different size options. If you're super hungry, a large should be fine. If you're just having a casual lunch, a medium is fine. If you want to be cute, a small is fun. We had a large party and they were able to accommodate and provide quality service.

From the outside this place looks run down, but the inside is a different story. It's open and friendly inside. Good music playing and the Staff is super friendly. Huge menu and full bar. I got pho and summer roles and both were amazing. Along with dumplings and taro milk tea. The server was very nice and respectful. I couldn't finish all my food and was super full. Will be back.

A bit on the pricier side for pho but it's still pretty good! I haven't tried their seafood boil here, but a lot of their noodle options are pretty solid.

My husband and I fell into a very full and happy food coma after we dined here lol, best Pho we've been to find so far since moving to Michigan and the seafood boil is pretty tasty too! I really love their pork sausage rolls which are pretty much rice paper rolls but with tasty Vietnamese sausage instead of just shrimp, the pho broth is the best I've had all around, what's not to love? The zombie cocktail was also fun to share and pretty strong as well! We'll be back!!

I love Detroit Pho & Crab. I eat their food every time I am in Madison Heights. This is the first time they forgot something in my order. I ordered and paid for 2 spring rolls and only received one in my order. Because I ordered so closed to closing I was not able to get my order corrected. No one was answering the phone. I will still go back next time I'm in MH but I will check my order before I leave. I recommend everything on their menu. It's all good

Detroit pho and crab is definitely the spot for the locals. The ambience was very chill. The menu is quite extensive and offers many different menu items for all the tastebuds out there. Vivian our server was spectacular. She went above and beyond. A very attentive gal. 10/10 would come back.

Love the fresh rolls, they have a decent food broil. The only reason I post 4/5 is the pho broth is good, not excellent. That being said, we still go regularly.

This is place is unique. It has a fusion of both Vietnamese food and seafood. It has very traditional Vietnamese dishes, but also offer seafood entrees like lobster tails, king crab, shrimp, mussels, scallops, etc the list goes on and on. It is one of the Vietnamese restaurants that my family and I keep coming back to. That says something! I would recommend getting a few different appetizers to split prior to your entree. It allows you to try more of their food, which is definitely worth it. The ones I like: grilled pork rolls, blood clams, grilled oysters I get the pho every time so I can't comment on the other entrees. The pho portions are LARGE! I typically get the largest size at most Vietnamese places I go to, but here, I only get the medium and find that filling. Take your family, take your friends, check this place out.

The best seafood bag I have had!!! The seafood was freshly prepared the seasoning that was in the bad was amazing like scoop some from the bottom to incorporate with every bite good. I will definitely return

Delicious! The menu is quite impressive and I've never seen a place quite like this. It's half Vietnamese cuisine and half yummy Cajun seafood. I can't believe how many options this place offers! It's actually incredible, this place is so plentiful in terms of choices and also portion size! I highly recommend going by yourself, with a friend, or in a large group! This place is great and I can't express that enough. We ordered some clams and mussels and oysters and the flavoring was all so yummy! I don't think I would do the oysters again because some were very very small. Everything was tasty and I would definitely come again, the place is nicely decorated and Everyone in my party really quite enjoyed it!

Food was delicious, I could eat 40 of the grilled oysters in one sitting (if someone else paid for them lol). A lot of Vietnamese classics, probably the biggest menu around the area. The servers were kind enough to explain the dishes. The menu could use a little updating in design, but honestly the food was so good, it didn't matter.

The wait staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming. Tasty drink menu with a good mix of flavor choice. I had the Mango Tango it was fresh tasting a squeeze of lime would have brought it up a notch. The spring rolls are the best. Rolled perfectly for you to grab and dunk in the peanut sauce. Clams on the half let's just say they were percolating in they beautiful juice with a seasoned crumb, totally awesomeness. I had the P& the pho with slice beef. Never disappointing, the broth alone was soooo delicious. It was totally worth dealing with the traffic

This is one popular place to grab seafood boils and Vietnamese food from the looks and sounds of it. Dined here on a Sunday late morning/afternoon and it filled quickly with diners. Service was quick, but food was a little wait given the volume. Blood clams were too chewy to be enjoyable for me and I think it would be better served with fish sauce on the side. It needed pizzazz. The bun bo hue was flavorful with a hint of sweetness in the broth. I personally enjoy mine more savory/salty. It could have used shrimp paste for a kick. The chicken vermicelli had soft meat. Does not come with egg rolls so we added that on top. Egg rolls were rather slim, not what I'm accustomed to. Overall, decently good place for Viet food. Would like to try their seafood boil next.

Visit this location as often as I can while in town. Honestly the service isn't the most amazing but the food makes up for it. The drinks are also pretty strong and well priced. We have gotten everything from the lobster tails to fried shrimp and everything is good.

Very good and delicious crabs and seafood. Good restaurant to go with friends and family.

I've been wanting to come here for a while because I've heard such great things about it and let me tell you...it did NOT disappoint! Holy moly! Abundance of food and everything we ate was SO delicious! I couldn't be more pleased and can't wait to come back with all kinds of friends who are sure to love it! When my friend and I came here, we had completely forgotten that it was Valentine's Day, so it was definitely more busy than usual. But we still showed up at 6:30 and were seated right away, which I love. AND the staff were so apologetic every time they stopped by to bring us food or check in on us throughout the whole meal, explaining how busy they were, meanwhile from our perspective, they were checking in very regularly and the service was SO fast! That must mean that their "regular" service is even quicker and thorough, which is genuinely impressive! Because this place is called Detroit Pho & Crab, we knew we had to get BOTH pho and seafood bag, which had to include crab in it! It was just two of us, so we sprung for the medium sized bowl of pho dac biet (P5), which we substituted the meatballs for extra tripe, and we built our own seafood bag with 3 types of seafood - 1lb crawfish, 1 lb snow crab legs, and 1 lb green mussels (we had originally wanted the blue mussels, since they seemed smaller because you got more per pound, but our server said those were long gone, so we pivoted, but if you really want blue mussels - we weren't sure of the difference other than size - then you'll definitely want to come earlier, like around lunchtime, or on a less busy day for early dinner)! ALL OF THIS FOOD was more than enough for the two of us to share and literally everything was SO good. I would highly recommend all of it. The pho was delicious, the broth - SO good, the noodles - SO good, my only thing about it was that I wish it had arrived HOTTER so that when you put the veggies in to cook, it could've cooked it a bit more. I didn't even have to wait to eat because the broth was already at the perfect temp where you didn't even need to blow on it before putting it into your mouth, so that left the veggies we put it right when the pho arrived a bit on the "too raw" side of my personal preference. For the seasoning for the seafood bag, we went with the DPC style, which is cajun garlic butter, and that was truly the perfect seasoning for the seafood. I didn't feel the need for any acidity in it, which the lemon garlic butter or cajun lemon garlic butter would have provided, so I would say that every time I come back I will be ordering the DPC seasoning style again and again. Overall, unless you come with a massive party, but even then, I would highly recommend building your own seafood in a bag rather than going with one of their special combos that they have already created. Those are definitely for larger parties, but given that everyone has preference too, it's just easier to build your own and make sure you maximize the amount of seafood you order vs. what I find are unnecessary, stomach-filling sides that the combos include a lot more of than what I'd prefer. Hope you come here with friends and family to try it out because man alive was everything SO good! I am already planning the next time I can come here and going to try and bring more people so we can try more seafood goodies and other items on the menu!!

I can't believe I've never heard of this place before! A friend was visiting from Florida and he suggested dinner at Detroit Pho & Crab. I perused the menu before my arrival for an idea of what to expect - the price range is broad. The environment is low key. We were greeted straight away and taken to a booth. The waitress came by quickly with some water. She gave us a few minutes to look at the drink menu - it's a good drink menu! I love a good cocktail and they have plenty. The strawberry mojitos and the zombies were flowing. The food we ordered was fantastic! A sort of make your own seafood boil with crab legs, corn on the cob, and lemon garlic Cajun spices, crab Rangoon (with real crab), some brisket pho, lobster and shrimp stir fry... we had it all! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was friendly and efficient and patient with us as we were there a long time and she probably could have turned the table at least once but we tipped her well. I will definitely be back with friends who like Vietnamese style dishes and seafood!

Food is actually great but I feel like their price is a bit overpriced. Other than that, the inside is clean and service is OK, it could be better. This place is spacious so bring your whole fam if you want. Lots of parking spaces too. Their menu is pretty big so I couldn't get all the menus taken. Try this place out. You won't regret it.

My friends and I came here for dinner tonight and we were ready to eat some cajun seafood in a bag. The interior of this place definitely gives me seafood vibes! We got a pound of the following... - Shrimp head off ($18.95) - Green mussels ($15.95) - Snow crab legs ($29.95) - Scallops ($23.95) Then we also got a bit of corn and potatoes and picked a mild spice level with Cajun Garlic Butter. Overall, the seafood boil was pretty delicious because the seasoning was wonderfully tasty and hit all of my taste buds! However, it is pretty expensive and overall, the quality of the seafood was subpar. If it wasn't for the sauce, I don't think I would be satisfied with this meal given how expensive it was. I did enjoy the green mussels the best and felt like it picked up the seasoning and garlic very well.

Their pho is amazing! My friend brought me here for pho and she did mention that their seafood boil is great too. I really enjoyed the pho and their portion sizing was great for the price! The place itself is cutely decorated as well with a lot of nautical decor. I think the only thing for me would be that at one point it felt like they forgot about us. Once they did get to us though, they brought us water and quickly took our order. The food came to us at a pretty good time too. I was very satisfied with the meal and our waitress was quick to bring our checks and get us a container to go (it was a lot of pho but it was so good). Their menu has so much too offer as well and I have a great feeling all their food is tasty! I would come back :)

This was our first time here. For the create your own seafood in a bag, you select your seafood, side (if you want), spice level, and seasoning. We ordered 2 pounds of crawfish (1 pound minimum order required) in lemon pepper garlic butter. We also ordered three bowls of pho (you can pick mini, medium, large, or extra large), two orders of summer rolls, and shrimp with egg noodles. The service was fast and we received our drinks and summer rolls in no time. The summer rolls were good and so was the sauce that came with it. We also received paper plates, plastic gloves, and a bib. The rest of our order came out shortly after the summer rolls. The pho was okay, expected a little more meat and noodles. The egg noodles didn't have much flavor. It does come with a side of vinegar garlic soy sauce but what was this for? To dip the broccoli? The noodles should be able to stand on its own without having to dump this sauce into it (if that's what it is for). The egg noodles appear crunchy but they are not. The crawfish had good flavor. The restaurant used to be a steak place or similar and the old decor is still there plus some Vietnamese decor. It's tacky and kind of dirty/ dusty.

I was in town and connected with a friend from High School for lunch. She decided on this restaurant and I was excited to try it. It sits in a shopping center so there is ample parking. Upon walking in all the staff was smiling and welcomed us in. The menu has ample options so whatever you're in the mood for, they have an option. I decided on the Chicken Tenders and Fries. I know, I know. I was at a Pho Restaurant and kept it real basic. LoL! In all honesty, I just really had the hunger desire for some chicken tenders. The Tenders were so good. Fried to golden perfection and not greasy at all. The fried were a great pairing, of course, and were well done. If you are looking for a spot with a variety of options and good service, make sure to stop in. You will enjoy!

I wish I could give them a minus star. I have been there several times. This time, I was so disappointed about their food and services. The food is terrible, It smells like overnight food that I cannot eat it. I asked the waitress check it for me because it should not be on the table for the customer. Then I heard the other waitresses talking shit about me so loud, even they knew I'm vietnamese ( they speak in vietnamese). I do not know somehow I still heard that shit from them. A waitress serves my table tried to tell me that the dish til good nothing wrong with it. Even she tried to be nice but I could not feel better. I will never come back.

I came here with my dad. We each ordered the grilled pork and egg rolls vermicelli. There was a piece of metal from the barbecue in his bowl. The server confirmed what it was and offered to replace his meal. After losing his appetite, my dad declined. For whatever reason, we were still charged for his meal. Before the piece of metal was even found, my initial thought on the food was "I've had better." If you're in the area, I recommend Pho Hang or Que Huong down the road instead of this place.

The best Pho we ever tasted!!! We recommend Pho special P5 and P9. Also check their seafood boil menu. Delicious!!! If you love seafood, you will never regret it.

This place had been recommended by many people to me for a good while now. Finally over on the side of town so you know we had to stop! After long debate we decided on doing a boil. We ordered the I love snow crab combo and did the DPC garlic butter. The food came out fast and we were hooked up with bibs napkins and all the fixings to make it easy! All the seafood was seasoned well, love the garlic butter seasoning, wish I would've asked to add some heat, you know your girl loves the spice. We also ordered a strawberry smoothie and a Thai tea smoothie. Apparently I've been missing out on Thai tea smoothies my whole life because this hands-down was the best Thai tea anything I have ever tasted! Our server was fantastic I cannot remember his name, a younger man and super friendly. Also he makes the best drinks! Cannot wait to come back here again soon.

Pho is the best thing here! I would definitely order the Pho Tai or the Pho Dac Biet again! Delicious and savory broth! Mouth watering just thinking about it! Seafood is pretty good here too and the Fried Rice Bo Luc Lac is the bombbbbb for the fried rice section! Staff is nice! Would come back!

LOOOOOVVVEEEE their pho! The seafood is good as well. I'm there once a week getting pho after a long night of drinks

WHO closes on a 9pm on a Saturday . Food is great. Cant go wrong. The pho is delicious even the vegetarian one. The lobster broil with carrot n potatoes... it's all great. Perfect for dinner on a weekend especially on a hot summer day or cold winter night.

Delicious food! The salmon fried rice is extra Extraordinary! You have to try it! Great place to bring your out of town guest!

Great food for groups and gatherings especially. The inside is like a tropical paradise. Sliced Beef PhoScallopsCalamari

Menu is extensive. It may take you a few minutes to decide to go into a seafood direction or something completely different. We went for the seafood option! Grilled oysters in butter and hot sauce - then a "bag" of crab legs, shrimp, with potato and corn. The meal was very filling. The flavor was garlic butter. A bit oily and lots of flavor. Very rich. Priced at the outer limit from what I've seen. It's busy inside with decorations. Waiter was prompt with service and drinks. We even got the paper topper for table!! Had spacious seating - appeared good for a group.

Food was delicious!! My son and I for Mother's Day had Crab legs with Sausage, Potatoes and Corn in a bag with Parmigiana butter sauce!! Highly recommend. We also enjoyed the Crab Rangoon, delish ....

We found out about this place completely by accident. Our original dinner plan for NYE was derailed when we found out the restaurant was temporarily closed. My guess is that the owners had travelled home overseas to visit family on an extended stay. My husband and I love pho and we love seafood, so this was a clear winner for something that's still close enough to where we were attending a concert after dinner. It's very conveniently located on Dequindre Rd just north of the highway exit because you get to the first light. The restaurant is big, bright, and clean. Their menu is a fully legit Vietnamese restaurant menu and fully legit seafood boil menu. We ended up splitting a large pho and a bag of seafood boil with clams, mussels, and crab legs. We added some red skinned potatoes, corn, and egg. We were fully stuffed when we left and were very happy with everything. The pho broth was delicious and the seafood wasn't overcooked. Now all they need to do is open one closer to Canton or Livonia. :-)

I have been coming to this place for many years now and everytime I have enjoyed my meal. This restaurant never disappoints as some of the food items may be pricy but overall it is usually worth it. The rice dishes are good and i recommend the steak and eggs as it is very tasty and flavorful.

Very good fried rice. Very flavorful even without soy sauce! The beef in the fried rice could be cooked a bit more but that's just a personal preference. Very good Thai milk tea!!

After 4 years of going here and the growth (as you can see from my previous reviews) , I would now claim that this is my favorite spot to get my Vietnamese fix and also an occasional seafood boil. The pho's broth is super flavorful from the sweet daikon and every bowl is not skimped out of meats and toppings. We love the sizzling mussel as well. The crawfish is what we usually order with mild spice (getting old means more frequent heart burn lol) with half and half seasoning! Sometimes I do change it up and get a rice platter or a vermicelli bowl, so go for it! They do add specials every year (like the papaya salad) or so just to change it up! They have perfected their servicing staff and usually everyone is friendly and helpful. Def recommend!

Great seafood boil! The atmosphere is fun but sticky. Don't come dressed in best clothes

Food is good but some waitresses and waiters are rude and they don't say sorry after gotten water pour on my lap but other are hard working people which I respect

They do have good food but I'd say if the people that are going to work their have a fake friendly attitudes then it doesn't make the service good at all. I'd say some of the Chinese or Asian people that work there are very mean acting they have a mean demeanor and feel that they are entitled to tips. They over charge because they can and it makes you leave unhappy. I do like their food but the customer service and food prices are horrible. I'd say that they are the most selfish, self centered people there but have good food. I do not feel that the menu prices are worth it and also the customer service is deplorable.
