Pho Real - Southeast Asian Restaurant

Really enjoyed our visit to Pho Real. We had the fried soft-shell crab, a bowl of pho, beef short ribs, and the lemongrass chicken. Everything was super flavorful and the portions were good. The Thai iced tea was also great, not too sweet and that’s a plus for me. The restaurant itself has a lot of character. You can tell that the owner put a lot of thought into the decorations for its space. The glass artwork in front of the bar was super cool. Overall we had a great experience here and will definitely come back.

A stylish, upscale, and elegant design themed Vietnam-Restaurant hidden gem. Flavor of every dish was right on the spot with great plating aesthetic that ensured a memorable dining experience. Very nice value given its location. highly recommend this place We got the soft-shelled crab, beef short rib, pho noodle, and mango-fruit tea. All very nice.

We came here for the first time to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. It’s the ideal place to unwind for a few hours — delicious food, great music, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our lunch experience at Pho Real! We were there right when the shop opened and food, service and atmosphere were all top notch! Portions are huge so for 2 people, we probably could’ve done fine with an order of 1 pho. Either way, would highly recommend this new spot!

The staffs were really friendly and tentative. The atmosphere is very relaxing, highly recommend the beef pho and the dessert (there’s no official dessert menu, so please ask the staff!!)

I went with my friends last week and their food was so delicious! The skewer mix was so flavorful, the oxtail pho had a rich and savory broth, and my favorite was the curry beef ribs. The service was also excellent, I’ll definitely be back!

I went there for a lunch alone and the service is amazing. Inside of restaurant is beautifully decorated into east style. The food is delicious, especially the soft-shell. Will definitely bring my friends there next time!

A very nice place for a date night and happy hour. The 2nd floor would be great for a party. Price is good for the food, drink and service.

Authentic, Artistic and Tasteful - A Midtown Gem! The newly discovered Pho Real is one of my favorite restaurants in Midtown. The service is amazing! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and colorful --perfect whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends. A space where art meets appetite. You can feel the artist's soul in every corner--warm light, thoughtful textures. The food feeds your body, the design feeds your spirit.

Pho Real is an elegantly decorated restaurant with a warm ambience perfect for smaller groups. It also has pho broth that is a clear and obvious step up from the salty broth of Pho 39 across the street. Everything else is a mixed bag. Service was good but quite awkward at times, while the pho itself had minor issues. Namely, my noodles were slightly undercooked, the peppers were cut a bit too thick, and the broth was slightly too lukewarm to effectively cook the bean sprouts. But the portions are large, the soup and meat are very good, and the overall quality is quite good. If the kinks are worked out this place will become quite good.

Wow! Great location and a nice place to sit with friends and enjoy a meal. The meat eaters in our group were very happy, although one was mistakenly brought pork instead of chicken (they took it back and replaced it). I was shocked by the vegetarian laksa, I've never seen one so white. It was truly milder than tom kha gai. If I go back and order it again I'll ask them to add some chili paste... Most of the staff were great but one was a bit intensely in our faces, trying to get us to eat more, joking around, making personal remarks. I guess we could have asked her to leave us alone. It felt borderline entertaining and uncomfortable. Clean restroom, good prices.

Efficient, friendly service. Beautiful setting, furnishings are modern and clean. Excellent soundproofing. When the door is closed it's a wonderful oasis, dark and calm. They lose a bit of the aura when the staff are hustling about and walking a dolly right thru the dining room though. They're still new but I think their lack of menus or prices from the outside is not great and might be intentional. I'd have liked to see menu and pricing before sitting down but the curious Yelper in me took a leap of faith. But I had already read reviews and peaked inside so I had an idea that it'll be on the higher end for Viet. On to the food. Had to get the classic special pho with rare beef, brisket, tripe and tendon. Tripe and tendon, I'm just happy they have it. The rare beef is fine, good quality and decent portion. The brisket is trimmed, without huge chunks of fat. This is appreciated. Noodles are fine, not too soft or firm. The broth is light and clear, sweet and enough flavor but doesn't cross the line into overly salty. It's not rich though but then again they never claimed it would be. Solid but underwhelming perhaps. Ultimately, the experience is fine. I get what they're going for with the decor and ambience. It'll be a good sit-down place but it's pricey for lunch. The value proposition is also poor if you're doing takeout, as you're paying elevated prices but not really enjoying the ambience. I'll be back to see if quality comes thru to match the prices for other dishes but they'll have a high bar to clear.

Nice clean place. Service was fast and good. Enjoyed my meal. Having a slightly cheaper lunch menu would have been nice.

A new pho shop that opened in the area. This restaurant is more upscale and they sell more than just pho, although I didn't pay attention to the rest of the menu. I got take out and the Pho Dan Bi ($21) came out in less than 5 minutes. Overall this was delicious as the broth isn't overly oily or salty. Good amount of ingredients and I didn't struggle loosening up the noodles, which usually is an issue getting pho to go. Will have to come back to try other items on the menu.

Highly recommend Pho Real! From the start the interior decor is elegant, comfortable dim lit dark and cozy. Our server was attentive and caring, went out of her way to give us extra options when we asked for more sauces. The beef pho was HUGE, piping hot and delicious in my face hole. I wish I could eat lunch here everyday. Spring rolls are also fresh and amazing. Go here and support this new business!

If I could give it 10 stars, I would. The ambiance was amazing, it was lovely and clean, and the portions of food were huge and delicious for a great price. We got some summer rolls, combination beef pho, and Vietnamese stir fried rice noodles. The summer rolls were just fresh and cold and amazing for a hot summer day. Service was also quick and they were very kind

Delicious hot pho and roti curry. Came in at 2:30 on Thursday afternoon. No wait. Clean, friendly service. Pho bowl was big and flavorful.

We had a terrific lunch at Pho Real. Great location and environment. The beef pho was flavorful with good portion size. The service was incredible and friendly. When we return to the city, we will be back.

Fantastic restaurant! The decor and food were both amazing and the servers were nice and helpful. We all tried the beef pho (huge portions!), summer rolls, and the calamari. All were excellent. Highly recommend!

Great food and great service! This newly soft-opened restaurant already impresses with its delicious South Asian fusion dishes and inviting atmosphere. The papaya salad is a crisp, refreshing delight, while the shaking beef delivers tender, flavorful perfection. The Pho Dac Biet stands out with its crystal-clear yet deeply aromatic broth and generous portions of tender meats. Since it's still in the soft-opening phase, I'd love to see more vegetable-forward dishes and traditional beverages added to the menu. Will definitely be back!

Great decor and food！love the details and thoughts put unto it. staffs are very friendly and attentive.

An elegantly decorated restaurant by two artists with warm and artistic ambiance, the attentive service and authentic flavor will promise you a unique and unforgettable experience!

Extraordinary! Great service, great flat noodles and dumplings, in a pleasant, low-key setting that doesn't feel like a tourist trap.

We went to this new Pho/Asian fusion, restaurant today for lunch. Beautiful decor of the restaurant. service is super friendly and pleasant. We have tried some of their signature dishes, totally amazing. They also have second floor that would be great to have intimate gathering. Definitely would return again soon.
