    Cash only. Bottle water only. Make sure to ask for receipt so they don’t rip you off and overcharge you. They’re money hungry. Pho was overpriced and was only decent tasting. Beware they give you nasty looking herbs. I had to pick out the rotting pieces.

    Worst place, service was rude. Food wasn’t as good as other places. I give it 2/10. I recommend other places please. They threw my drink away after I paid for it! I asked the guy for a refund or another drink and he kicked me out!

    This is usually referred to as the best pho in town. I have always been somewhat lukewarm on it preferring Pho Cuong. I dined here today for maybe the fifth time and it was very good. They are super busy and run a pretty tight ship. My pho came out hot with plenty of meat and the usual garnishes. The spring rolls were pretty good but not right out of the fryer. Though I do still prefer Pho Cuong,this place is solid. It just comes down to the flavor of the broth. Lien Hoa is just a little on the bland side. My only real complaint is that they serve their beverages in Styrofoam. Unfortunately restaurants waste so much anyway (and don’t have an avenue to recycle), I really wish that they didn’t add more to it.

    Really great experience here! Top pho place in the okc area! Delicious broth, classic fresh garnishes. And the boba was AMAZING! We’re sat quickly, and served even faster! Food came out so quick! Small thing I didn’t like was that you paid for each bottle of water. Wish they would have clean tap water. Once we were served we had to flag down our waitress, she never came to check on us. Overall, great place! Authentic. Quick. Delicious. Affordable. Great portions.

    The food was great and I would return. I do wish you could get a glass of water without having to buy a bottle but the service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was clean so buying a bottle of water isn't that bad. Do be warned it is cash only!!!

    I love this place but I would suggest eating there instead of getting take out because you might not know what will be in your food. Dead fly was in my food. 🥴🤮

    what a scam? they should or must have placed a "only Cash" warning on the door, I know they are doing it on purpose, basically they can avoid all their income taxes plus the 8.5% taxes that us Customers paid for the food can be a part of their hidden income also, 1 rod 2 fishes. the food is good but other than that I don't recommemd this place

    The food is phenomenal. The service? Honestly the service is horrible but the food is so good I will go back every time. They are prompt, food is perfect the way you ask and HOT. They bring everything fresh out to you as it is prepared. Two important things to note are the beverages are in cans/bottles and this is cash only. Yes that is CASH ONLY. Don't have cash? Cool, they have an ATM next to the counter. Why you ask? I'm 93% certain it's a money laundering front but I don't feel unsafe and the food is amazing. The guy at the counter looks like a crime boss amd knows everything (he knows everything) but is super kind. Go! You won't regret it.

    I had a great meal so did my co-worker. An all around solid Vietnamese spot that I would gladly come back to if in the area. CASH ONLY

    They say don't judge a book by its cover , from experience all over the world it amazes me to always find it 5 star establishments with not so perfect frontage , yet this place gives you warm welcoming, warm atmosphere and wonderfully prepared food that seems to be from the heart in preparation, and delicious as well , it was fresh tasting and much variety , a very pleasant experience that doesn't even break the bank with Our rise in cost due to inflation, well worth every penny and you are full and happy. Great courteous Service and Clean. We will be back as I highly recommend it to everyone else.

    Edited 08/2022: The pho was delicious and very reasonably priced. I had the P11, which is good for those hesitant to try tripe, etc. The Thai tea didn’t taste like any I’ve had before, but it was still good. Honestly it tasted like cotton candy. Service was good. Food is amazing. They only take cash, but they make that clear and have a convenient and reasonably priced ATM.

    Everything was great except for the table service waiter took our order and never saw her again. Beware of the hidden gratuity that they give themselves 15.5%.

    Pros: The taste and the portion sizes are great. The meatballs may not be the best for my taste but everything else was really good. Cons: They don’t accept any cards. So make sure to bring cash. They make you buy water bottles.

    I was told by a lot of people that this place is the best in town 😂 HONESTLY I don’t think I’ll be back again. 1: the broth isn’t hot enough, the pork in my soup is still pork after sitting for 5 mins, and the extra veggies can’t be cooked well either, those flavors are important; 2: Cash only, it’s inconvenient for me, as someone from Asia, we go out with a phone and use it to pay for everything in everywhere, bringing a card here is already a hassle to me, cash is even worse. 3: They only have bottle water 😂

    You come here for the food, not any sort of ambience! Customers are in and out constantly, they stayed busy the whole time I was there. I came around 12:30PM and left after about 45 minutes. I got the grilled shrimp and grilled pork vermicelli bowl ("bun") with egg rolls. It was definitely up there in the ranks for me, and I love authentic Vietnamese food!!! I will come back and try their pho!!!

    I honestly love this place for quick yummy pho. I always get the P11 and always love it! Spring rolls are also a must get with your pho. Only thing is it’s only cash in the restaurant. Very quick service and super friendly!

  • 5/5 Gary H. 8 months ago on Google
    Very great pho! Cash only thought... Luckily, the owner was kind enough to let me pay with what I had, which is a little below what I own for the meal. I came back to pay back what I own. Recommended place!

    This is a good Vietnamese Restaurant. The food was good, especially the egg rolls. The prices were very affordable, the only detractor is the restaurant only takes cash. There is an ATM Machine in the restaurant, but it charges a fee, so be sure to bring cash.

    You just have to try Pho Lien Hoa! Their menu us fantastic, have such a wide variety of vietnamese food available, you just have to try everything! No matter what we picked so far, it was very delicious. Next time we will also try their drink selection, last night we did not have time for that. Thanks for the great experience!

    A nice little restaurant that gets fully packed on rainy days. We've been back several times as the food is really good! Brought a couple of first timers and they loved the food! The menu has the most variety I've seen around here and varies from your basic pho to duck soup with innards for the more adventurous. Take a trip on the wild side with their uncommon boba smoothie flavors like durian and soursop. This is a cash only establishment though that has an atm machine beside the cashier.

    We had mango and avocado boba. I had the P14 which is rare steak and brisket pho. The service here is usually quick and friendly. The atmosphere is usually pretty busy. My pho was hot and fresh. My boba was cold and sweet, but not overly sweet.

  • 5/5 Angela B. 1 year ago on Google
    They have some of the BEST soup! I get the soup with glass noodles, squid, shrimp, mussels, crab and fish balls and it's amazing! My all time favorite is their SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS. OMG!! I don't care what the other reviewers say, they're always super friendly when I go there. Their Vietnamese cheese cake melts in your mouth too. I've been going there for about 15 years.

  • 5/5 Kim L. 1 year ago on Google
    Legit Vietnamese food with all the options (pho, rice, vermicelli, glass noodles, egg noodles, etc.), including desserts and drinks. I love this place. Cash only.

  • 5/5 Stefanie D. 2 years ago on Google
    We went into the restaurant at 11 30 am and it was almost fully seated. The waitress was awesome. Friendly and very patient. She explained the food even when we didn't ask. It was very helpful. The Food, we all had Pho and appetizers; came very quickly and wad delicious. We go back!! For sure.
