    The pho is great but the coffee is absolutely fantastic. Great spot for you pho lovers with reasonable prices. The staff here were really nice. This is the same building as the old Pho 208 and they did a good job of cleaning it up while keeping some of the same character. I would recommend checking it out. Get the iced coffee The meatballs are amazing. Also note that they add the cilantro to the broth before serving it to you

    It’s one of the best Pho so far in Boise and I love the soup that doesn’t taste MSG that much. Not sure whether they use it but it taste authentic and I like it. The Pho is smooth the meat is not overcook and I love the vermicelli too. The highlight is the Drip Coffee, it’s super good!!!!!! Portion wise is worth the price. Hopefully the standard can remain and I will definitely come back again.

    Simply exquisite pho. I've been to a lot of places that serve pho but in Boise, this place easily tops all of them. It's clear that Pho Real emphasizes quality ingredients and service. For big eaters I'd recommend ordering one of their entrees on top of a kids pho just so you won't miss out on their other amazing options. Their boba was pretty good as well. Definitely will be returning when I crave pho, giving this place my highest praise.

    GREAT first time visit. We were greeted as soon as we walked inside by the always smiling and friendly server and all the staff were thoughtful/attentive throughout our time dining. Great portion of food for the price as well. This is a business thats in good hands and wants to succeed. Will definitely be back!

    Nice place. The food was fine. I think that the dishes could be warmer. The spring roll was good. The egg rolls were too oily. Also: why don't waiters these days write down the order to avoid triple check ups with the orders? No need to memorize. Write it down :) pho real.

    Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines and I have been to many across the country, this was the most expensive Vietnamese restaurant I have been to and one of the worst. The pho was not hot when delivered so the basil and other vegetables could not get absorbed into the broth. The spring rolls had no mint or basil and no lettuce to wrap them. The bun was “meh” and the wait staff tried to please, but was way under staffed. I would rather take a stab at making it at home than ever eat here again.

    Service can be a little slow at times but always worth the wait. The food is always so yummy! The vibe is very cozy, a little small especially during busy times. They have two bar areas to be seated at also with view of a Tv.

    Amazing service and Delicious food! This is the first time we've visited since they changed owners and the food is amazing! The fried spring rolls was crispy and full of flavor! We also had Pho and the broth was savory and had an authentic taste-- soooo good! The noodles and beef were delicious. Loved how they have Gluten free and Vegan options! Overall we loved the food and will come again! The ambiance, music, and service was exceptional!

    This was a great experience for me and the family. Above all else, the food was excellent. We enjoyed pho and fresh rolls. The atmosphere wasn’t fancy, but that’s not a negative. It was comfy and welcoming and the service that came with it was prompt, polite and pleasant. Amongst the other options is Boise this was the best Vietnamese food we’ve had. Definitely going again!

    Pho Real is some of the best Pho and Vietnamese food in Boise. My family has come here multiple times the quality of the food is always excellent. The Pho soups are outstanding and the crispy egg rolls (both regular and vegan) are extremely delicious. Highly recommend!

    I would give this place five stars except for the price they are over priced for every other place in town. They do have really good broth although when we order to go they did not give us any hoisin sauce or Sriracha, which is kind of a bummer. Also, be aware, if you order online, they up all the prices of the dishes and there’s also a delivery fee .

    Beautiful gem in downtown Boise! This restaurant has a great ambience to it and great service from all members of the staff from owner to servers. Pho tastes amazing and also doesn't tase to oily or greasy but comes out very clean and fresh. The pho is definitely what makes this restaurant but don't miss out on they're grilled items as well. The crispy egg rolls and grilled pork chops are few that I have tried and taste amazing giving me a tough decision for the next time I come in!

    Pretty decent pho place, good for a cold day. There's not a whole lot of meat in the bowls which is kind of disappointing for the price, but the broth was good. Definitely not a bad choice and it's in a cool location.

    If you are looking for a delicious lunch or dinner, look no further. This place is PhoReal! The moment you walk into this restaurant, your senses will be stimulated by the delightful aromatic herbs that fill the air. The owner, Hannah, has managed to capture the essence of traditional and trendy Vietnamese food that is tasty and healthy. By putting a bit of love into every bowl of pho they make, along with freshly prepared broth, noodles, and meats, plus tasty spices, crispy sprouts, and zesty sauces this restaurant appeals to everyone. I would highly recommend this restaurant as it has proven to be one of the best Pho restaurants in the city.

    Ambiance was fantastic (the place was hoppin' on a Monday night). Spring rolls were fresh and light, the Pho was perfectly seasoned and the service was stellar. Although they were busy, the staff took time to acknowledge and check in the right amount of times. I'll definitely be back!

    Stopped in for lunch while in town on errands. I will say this is the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. And that says a lot after living in Hawaii for 8 years. The flavors were amazing. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. I’ll definitely be back!

    Best Pho in Boise! This establishment is very welcoming and attentive with their customers. Not only is the food delicious, but the restaurant is clean. Wait times after ordering your food are minimal but worth every second! Highly recommend this place, especially if you have never tried pho!
