Pho Van Pittsburgh

Such a cute, charming spot in the Strip District. The tofu and pork belly spring rolls were, amazing flavor and texture, perfect for sharing. I had the beef eye pho and it was SO good… and even better as leftovers. 10/10 recommend checking out this pho spot.

One of my favorite places for Pho. Not fancy in any respect but a very comfortable place and excellent value. Pho is always flavorful rich, aromatic broth with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh herbs. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Staff are friendly and quick. Highly recommend for a casual, comfortable meal, Pho Van is a must-visit.

Stopped by Pho Van this evening and was immediately drawn in by the sign advertising their pork bun special. I’m glad I gave it a try because the pork buns were absolutely delicious. The peanuts added an extra layer of flavor and texture that really made the dish stand out. The service was just as impressive. Khin was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back to Pho Van for more amazing meals

First visit, and loved it - from the shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce to the spicy beef soup and the chicken Pho ("extra non-spicy"), work fresh bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, and basil on the side. Their fresh limeade was refreshing, when on a cold, snowy day. Highly recommend!

Customer service was incredible. Food was amazing and came out quickly. Recommend to all those looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Josue, Lauren, and Emily took good care of us and kept our drinks topped off!

Tasted like watered down cinnamon basil soup. Would not recommend this place if you are looking for authentic vietnamese Pho. The spring rolls were great but Pho was a big letdown. I honestly had high hopes because of the great reviews on google. Learned my lesson and never going to a place that wasn’t recommended by my fellow viet people.

The service was amazing! Everyone was super sweet and caring and of course the food was good too. I got Bun Bo Hue and it was a little spicy but so flavorful😋

We came next door to the candy shop originally, it was around dinner time and we were getting hungry. Pho sounded really good to me so we decided to give this place a try. We started off sharing fresh pork belly rolls. I had a peach refresher which had peach pulp in it. My husband had a chai tea. I ordered the supreme pho and my husband ordered Chicken Pad Thai. The hot dishes came out piping hot! We both tried each other’s dishes and everything was absolutely delicious! I saved this place so when we are back in the area we can come again. It was all amazing!!

Tôi rất thích nơi này, nó gợi cho tôi nhớ về quê nhà. Đồ ăn rất ngon. Tôi muốn giới thiệu.

After visiting a couple times, I can say that their pho is one of the best in the city. Located in the heart of the strip district, this spot is perfect way to end your Strip District afternoon! Plenty of seating for small and large groups inside, clean, and amazing service. They have all the classic Viet dishes (pho, com tam, etc). I got the brisket pho this past time and it was delicious. Also got the beef lemongrass rice bowl and loved it as well. Can't wait to go back!!

This pho is healing. My friend and I got the brisket pho. Huge portion. A bit expensive, but delicious. we got a papaya salad but it was not worth $15. Service is quick and ambience is casual and not quiet.

This place has quick service, good Vietnamese flavors, and hefty portions. If you're seeking soup on a cold day, this is the place. Not pictured is the humongous bowl of bun bo hue that my friend ordered.

Small restaurant serving freshly made Vietnamese dishes. Ample indoor seating with a few sidewalk tables outside. Basic cafe atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly. They serve a varied menu from appetizers to desserts. The shop also other various goods for purchase (bowls, chop sticks, cultural souvenirs). I had the fried shrimp rolls. Petite, crunchy and flavorful. It was served with an savory dipping sauce. Just right for a light snack. My lunch companion had the Fresh shrimp Spring Rolls. 3 large firm shrimp and vegetables wrapped in delicate rice paper. Very good. Serves with a thick delicious peanut sauce.

I am a super fan of pho van. I've ordered takeout from here, no lie, at least 24 times this past year. I'm obsessed. I love a few menu items in particular. Their chicken pho is unbeatable. The chicken is so tender, the broth is so flavorful and the portion is huge. Their shrimp fresh rolls are absolutely incredible as well. The peanut sauce is the best around. Lastly, I love their bahn mi sandwiches. Most recently, I dined in (finally) with my mom and she was blown away as well. I adore this place and highly recommend it!

The pho was absolutely amazing the broth was extremely clean and tasty , the thin slices of pork the nice size shrimp the quail eggs were kind of firm, but the inside was very creamy.yummy. Ground bits of pork basil mint lime omg your number one in my book pho can keep up the amazing work.

A solid spot for Pho in Pittsburgh. I usually enjoy the brisket as my protein. The cheese wontons are also delicious! The brother is very flavorful and everything is fresh. Service was friendly and quick. Small and causal interior.

Yesterday I ordered Pho and had it delivered with Uber Eats. The broth was great as were all the add-ins, but there were two things that weren't great. First, the meat was already in the broth and it was very tough and well done. And secondly, the noodles were all wrong. I've ordered Pho all over the world and never had skinny noodles that resembled ultra thin spaghetti. Also, I would be willing to bet they were NOT rice noodles. They were wheat noodles. The flavor was OK but the meal just wasn't satisfying because it wasn't prepared in the traditional way. I thought I'd had Pho from Pho Van before and that I liked it. Maybe they were just out of the proper ingredients and didn't say anything about it. I won't be going back there for pho.

While the pho was veryyyyy good, no soup is worth $20 in my opinion. I got the beef brisket pho for take out (NOT DELIVERY) and I was beyond shocked when my total was $20 for soup. I'm giving it four stars because the quality and taste was great, but I definitely will not be getting this again because of how expensive it was.

One of my favorite places for Pho. Not fancy in any respect but very comfortable place and excellent value. Pho is always flavorful rich, aromatic broth with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh herbs.

I recently ordered takeout from Pho Van. I ordered online and my order was ready for pickup about 15-20 min later. I ordered the seafood soup and a passion fruit refresher drink mango boba. Everything is packaged great for takeout. The soup itself had a great flavor and it was really filling. My refresher was not too sweet and the perfect addition to my soup. Inside, the place is not very large but it was filled up on a Sunday evening.

Happened to find this place in the area for a pirates game. Ordered the C3 noodle soup. The broth was excellent and tasty. Pretty big portion for the price. Check them out!

Walked over to the strip since it was beautiful cool night. Pho Van was busy for Sunday dinner. Ordered carry out at kiosk (then browsed candy shop next door). Chicken pho so-so broth, meat was plenty, hubs liked his mango boba. The winner was che dessert- came in tall cup filled with ice; fun mixing it & crunching thru layers of bean, jelly & coconut cream. Place is small, bit cramped so glad we did carry out, super friendly service (by family owners).

Went here around lunchtime on a busy Saturday and was seated immediately. Staff were very kind, food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious! Fantastic pho, great portion sizes. I definitely plan on returning!

Do you love broth? Need something warm on those cold days? Pho Van offers one of the biggest bowls of Pho I have ever seen! If you are from Pittsburgh then it is one of the better Phos you can get. Compared to the other Phos I have eaten, it is good but not amazing. Regardless, the bowl is MASSIVE. Despite the amount of broth, it is not watered down at all. Each sip is packed nicely with beef flavors. My only qualm was that I wish there was more brisket, but that could be the illusion of the soup to noodles and meat ratio. Place is small, and clean. They offer drinks but I did not have any. I heard they were good. Summer rolls are good with the peanut sauce, can't go wrong with them if you like shrimp! Overall a good spot I'd go again for good eats.

This is truly the best place ever!!! Me and my friends always come here and they always have the most incredible food, so much flavor, and the place is super clean! Khin is the best waitress and is always so friendly so excited to come back

Great food, large variety to choose from and clean atmosphere. Service is decent too. Small tables, but they suffice.

Hubby and I were walking the Strip District and found this place with a few vegan options. I ordered the vegan phó, which was excellent! Hubby had the vegan fried rice. It was fairly bland...hence only 4 stars. The place was very nice, and the staff was friendly. Service was good. It was easy to walk into for Valentine's Day.

Had a lovely bahn mi sandwich and dinner with friends. Service was friendly and I'd go again if I was in the area.

First time going. I had the Pho with tripe. I added all the fixings. Excellent food and service! The broth was delicious and complex. I can't wait to explore more of the menu!

This might be the best packed Togo I've ever purchased. Restaurant seating was clean and casual. Food was fast!

Decent pho in Pittsburgh, nice sitting, good service but they could do better like add more meat or more noodle in pho bowl so people could feel full. Happy to find a Vietnamese restaurant though other than thân no complaints

One of the best spots for Pho! Great Pho with Brisket and cheese wonton. Passion fruit with mango bubble tea was amazing! Good atmosphere and good costumer service. If you're lucky you'll find a parking spot out front.

I will always love this place. Came here again ofc. I ordered the cucumber garlic salad which was sooooo good! Had a Mild sweet dressing which balanced the onions& garlic. I will forever order this each time I'm there. For entree, I had the Pork with fried rice with extra side pickled veggie. I thoroughly enjoy Pho Van. Excited to try more on their menu

A New Year's Eve tradition we have been doing for years is venturing out for some pho for dinner. The past two years we came here. When we arrived the dinning room was empty. We were promptly seated and given water. Within a few minutes of looking over their menu more patrons started filtering in. We already knew what we were getting as it is the tradition. We ordered the vegan pho and the tofu summer rolls. I could eat a truck load of summer rolls. I absolutely love them and always ask for Thai chili paste to eat them with. The peanut sauce is too sweet for me. Mixing the two together can be quite tasty. Food came out quickly. The Pho was good. It's definitely a different taste than more traditional phos that include meat, it does lack that complexity. However, I am happy for the vegan version, and they do a great job taming the sodium, it was not too salty like some phos can be. The toppings which I use all of them, helped make the dish quite tasty. The rolls were delicious as usual. A little pricey for pho but everything is pricey now so it is what it is. I definitely will keep coming back.

Came in with a group for a late dinner on Monday night and we were seated right away. Our server was polite and attentive. She took our orders promptly and the food was out in about 15 minutes. Two of the group ordered pho- one vegan and one rib eye. I ordered a beef vermicelli bowl. Everything was great. The pho came out steaming hot with all of the toppings to add. The vermicelli bowl was fresh. The vegetables were crunchy, and the crispy pork roll was flavorful. The decor in the space is adorable! Tons of pho puns hanging all around. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. The meal was well worth the money. I'll definitely be back.

I like that my takeout was packed nicely. By the time it was delivered to me, the broth was a little cold though. There were a lot of tendons in my tendon pho. The flavor was good. I wish there was an option to get some meat with half the tendons. Overall it's a pretty solid takeout option. I would order again.

Casual, cute decor. Nice little spot to come in from the busyness of the strip district. The service was very nice and attentive. The food came out quickly and was VERY flavorful! I now love pho! Pad thai was also very good. We will be back!

Good pho I would say! Huge portion! The mango sticky rice was not what I'm used to. It wasn't the best honestly. My friend had the teriyaki dish and she thought it would be different but regardless, the chicken was good. The place is nothing fancy but I don't mind that. Service wise, the waitress was nice. But would I come again? I think not really. It was good pho but not like out of this world and the mango sticky rice was a bummer which I usually love everywhere.

The best pho in town!! Was craving some late night pho and we Order the supreme pho comes with beef meatballs, steak, tendon and tripe... my husband couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was.

Spring rolls are amazing they were fast at making food the employees are very nice fast service

The food was decent but honestly I don't think it was anything out of the ordinary. Would probably go again if I had nothing else around but there are better places for Vietnamese.

vegan vermicelli and vegan pho were both delicious! the tofu and broth were both very flavorful. highly recommend pho van pittsburgh for some great vegan options in this beautiful city!!

Delicious food, cute spot, attentive service. Went on a date night with hubby and it was the right decision!

The pho here is most definitely a step above your average pho place. Especially coming from an area with a lot of Asian food, this place was super authentic and delicious. I'm not sure why the average rating is 3.8 because this place is so much better than that. On top of that, the KINDNESS of the servers is top notch. On request, they gave us an extra side bowl of the brisket pho-- with broth, noodles, and meat-- for FREE. We were expecting them to charge us at least $5, but no! I wish I was a Pittsburgh local so I could come back here every week. Also, their broth deserves an AWARD on its own! I could tell they make it from scratch. If you're in the area, don't skip this place!

I used to order from here a bit when I lived in Shadyside and really enjoyed it. I moved to Bellevue, Wa for almost a year and had Pho there, which is known to have really good Pho, and I think Pho Van is competitive with what I had there. Went in person recently a couple of times and it is even better in store. The broth is just fantastic. Banh Mi is also super good. I never had an issue with service myself when I went in.

My go-to quick and casual spot in the Strip. Grab a bahn mi to-go to eat while you walk Penn or sit down and enjoy pho with friends before you go axe throwing. Pho Van has an abundance of vegan and vegetarian options, allowing for a variety of choices for even those with dietary restrictions. Vegan broth can be a hard find, so I was beyond excited to see it on the menu.

Once again, if you have "Pho" in your name. I hope you got your pho broth down. But sadly it is not the case for Pho Van. This establishment is catered more toward the American palette and there is nothing wrong with that. But if you want to get authentic pho, I recommend trying a different place. I stop by for dinner after a busy day at work. Wanted to get my basic pho tai bo vien but it was no longer an option. It was either pho tai (beef) or pho dac biet (supreme) or get the pho tai and get bo vien as a side for $5 more. So for the price of $16, I was getting about 4 alices lf eyeround cut, not even tenderloin. The broth was missing the soul (the richness of the bone flavour broth) I had to add hoisin and siracha (which you should never have to add to a good bowl of pho). I was still quite hungry afterward. My coworker ordered the bun thit nuong and received an adequate portion and was quite satisfied with his meal. But I left wanting more. The service was pretty fast and courteous. If you are here give the other menu items a try and avoid the pho.

I genuinely enjoy the food here, coming from someone who knows how to cook Vietnamese food and growing up with my mom's home-cooked Viet food! What's even better is the atmosphere - the family running the business has brought so much life to the restaurant! I just moved back to Pittsburgh recently, so seeing this restaurant come to life has been such a pleasure. Will be back for sure! P.S. Viets love our veggies, and they always give so much!

This is my go to for pho. They have a vegan option that is delicious. Great place to stop by for lunch or after yoga in the evening.

i enjoyed my dinner here! The food was excellent and the service was great. The bathroom was very clean and the table was as clean as well.

food is outstanding service is remarkable & the ambiance compliments everything. 10/10 highly recommend. Authenticity to a T.

The vibes are great in this place and they have really nice outdoor seating. The server was super sweet and let us choose where we wanted to sit in. The music was also really great some fire song choices. my friend and I split the chicken Pho and it was a big portion and it was FIRE. best pho i've had in pittsburgh. Omg but then we got the mango sticky rice, and we were floored. It was the best thing ever like are you kidding me. I can't wait to go back and watch the coconut cream off that mango sticky rice

I can't find a better beef pho that this in the PIT area. When I want pho, I go out of my way to go here. Also service is great.

The reasons I stop by this place , because my son go to university of Pittsburgh, my wife and I try couple times there. We liked it a lot. Must recommended and friendly staffs.

This place has delicious food. I like the wonton noodles soup and ribs, duck fried rice, crab Rangoon, soft shell crab, and phó. I heard that the Pho Van owner (Steve) used to own Taipei Fox Chapel and he brought his experience from Taipei to this restaurant. Since he took over Pho Van, the food here is unbelievably delicious. I highly recommend this place. Their staff is super friendly. In addition, this restaurant is clean compared to other Vietnamese restaurants

We just had takeout for our office today. Food was excellent!! I don't have an opinion on price since the company paid for it!!! I would order again from them.

took my family there last night, the food was good. crispy tofu, crispy ducks, crab Rangoon, dumplings under appertizers were great main course beef fried rice, wonton noodles, seafood noodles, Bánh mi ( hoagies) were all delicious definitely come back. sorry no pictures too delicious to wait for pictures
