    Long story short THE BEST!!!!! hear this from a guy that is picky when it comes to flavor!!! I've been to all these other pho places (PT noodles, Song Lynn, Pho house, King egg roll...etc name it!) and they just don't do it for me... it's either too pricy, portion too small, and most important flavor sucks! Shout out to David, Mike, Nancy and all the beautiful people in this place that make my visits feel like home! 🇲🇽 🇻🇳

    My family and I were driving through the area and decided to find something to eat. I seen that this place had 4.7 stars and it did not disappoint. We decided to dine in, its small with limited seating and they only could use half the area (due to covid) but we were able to get in. It's fast paced, I recommend looking over the menu because you have to order your food before you are seated. What I loved most is they have a children's menu! I have a picky toddler but he loved the chicken plate with rice noodles. I got a #12 Steak and Tendon beef noodle soup and it was tasty. We also ordered an appetizer of egg rolls and they were crunchy and delicious, I wish I had ordered more. But this place is great and I will be coming back.

    Pho was okay. Love that it had enough meat to go with every bite. Liquid taste well, not surprising because I'm from Minnesota and pho here is challenging. We do have the best here around.

    Best pho in Arizona, no exaggerations. The broth is clean, flavorful, and amazing quality. The meat is always tender and in a good quantity. Not to mention, every dish I’ve tried here has not disappointed. The rice, grilled meats, and egg rolls are absolute standouts. If there’s a wait, don’t hesitate to join the line because it is well worth any time spent.

    Great place to have pho! I got the sliced beef pho and I requested extra beef and they gave me plenty! The soup had excellent flavor and the noodles tasted fresh. Service was good and I think it's family owned since I have been there several times and see the same people working there. Their prices are too low for the quality of food that they are providing. Most pho places with this kind of quality charges $14-$17 and it's only $10 here. Just saying it's really good value for the price! Always delicious and will return.

    Best Pho broth in Arizona, it’s clean, not greasy, and the flavor is really beefy with great herbs. The area is shady but this is one of the best hole in the wall.

    Pho was great! Service was good they were just really busy. Outside is sketch but inside is clean and regular. Pork spring rolls were delishes as well as the egg rolls. Super friendly wait staff. They clearly have regulars that frequent often. Would definitely eat here again and send our friends.

    Pho was delicious! The service was beyond amazing. They truly make you feel like family. Feels like I went to someone's home to have a meal. The only 2 complaint is the size of the restaurant and location. It's rather small but the food and service make up for it. The location has a few homeless people.

  • 5/5 Felicia C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Every time my husband and I come the food is amazing and the service is just as great! My husband gets the #10 Pho and I get the #14. Family has talked to us personally every visit, and we have just never had a bad experience. Best Pho I’ve had in the Valley!

    I went and this is my first time trying pho. It was really good, like really good. The broth had a sweetness to it and the noodles were so delicious. But unfortunately I couldn’t eat all of it. The bowls are large which I didn’t expect but I also didn’t ask if there were different sizes. If you’re coming here, come with hunger because it’s a lot of food, it’s delicious, but a lot. I recommend.

  • 5/5 Brad J. 6 months ago on Google
    The pho is seriously so damn good here. I had the special with everything. Broth is clean and packed with flavor. So much meat to the point where every bite has some kind of tendon, tripe, beef or brisket. Noodles are perfect, I can’t get enough.

  • 5/5 Dylan M. 5 months ago on Google
    Best pho I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend this enough. This is a place you’d take your friends visiting to impress them. 10/10

    As a causal foodie, I had been hearing rave reviews about Pho 43 Express from my fellow epicurean friends. So today, I decided to take my parents along for a lunch to experience it firsthand. After a 45-minute wait(arrived around noon), which speaks volumes about its popularity, we were seated and promptly served the much-acclaimed pho. The dish arrived steaming hot at our booth, brimming with vibrant green onions that added not just color but an incredible depth of flavor. The freshness of the veggies was palpable on the palate and the chicken - oh the chicken - was cooked to absolute perfection! Adding to this delightful culinary experience was the staff's impressive familiarity with their customers and an ambiance enhanced by melodious tunes wafting through the restaurant.

    Summer rolls were excellent and nice peanut sauce. Large portions. Pho broth was great but noodles were clumpy. Vermicelli salad with grilled pork was delicious, fresh veggies and pork had nice smokey flavor. Service was stellar.

  • 5/5 Liz 2 months ago on Google New
    Favorite locally owned pho spot 100%. The ambiance is exactly what I want from a local authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I always get the Veggie pho and fresh rolls, and I love how they don't skimp on the peanut sauce. Service is friendly and quick, and they get people in fast considering how packed it usually is.

    Found this place in Phoenix on a business trip. I was so Impress I eat there 2 times. I was going for the third but they were close. The aroma alone, make a everlasting memory that makes you wanna come back for more. Everything was on point look at the picture it will make you want to eat it. I can’t say one bad thing about this place. The service was good (for a Vietnamese place that is a huge compliment) and the food was great. Give me my food get me what I asked for and leave me alone so I can enjoy the meal. That is all I ask. I got there big big bowl for only $20, worth every penny. They don’t nickel dime you and they’re not stingy like other pho places(take not). Look at the picture tell me what more you would want? This is how pho is supposed to be like people and pho restaurants owner if you want to Succeed not just make ends meat, stop being so stingy. We might be born at night, but not last night.

    First timer! Chicken pho was 10/10 followed by fried rice (not pictured) :( I also recommend trying the iced coffee with milk :)

  • 5/5 Jaslynn B. 7 months ago on Google
    If you like to eat you pho with Drake playing in the background, this place is for you! I absolutely love the atmosphere here and all the workers here are genuine. I feel safe and at home here. Coming back over and over!

    I’ve been eating from this restaurant for over 5 years… it’s hands down the best broth tasting Phở I’ve had. Their Spring rolls are pretty good as well… actually, all the food I’ve tasted is pretty good. The staff are Friendly, and Respectful, Good people! To dine in, there’s sometimes a wait… but, its well worth the wait!

    I don't really do reviews for any restaurants but this is such a great place to go eat at. I'm asian myself and the food there is amazing. Like homemade food I think they topped my parents food. Please go here whenever you have a chance. DELICIOUS. They're so nice and make sure that you have everything you ask for. I had a wait but it was so worth it. A very sweet family owned restaurant. I would eat here everyday if i could.

  • 5/5 Trisha 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing spot, and it's also super affordable. They are super busy, but the service was fast and friendly. I would look past the people complaining about their hrs. Compared to other restaurants, the window of operation is limited, but their food is amazing. Also, for being so busy, they are extremely organized. My husband and I will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 MICHAEL H. 1 year ago on Google
    5 out of 5! Pho and iced coffee are top notch authentic goodness in your mouth! The exterior looks exactly how it should look: “a hole in the wall”! Mike and David are the most hospitable owners. Customer service is on point. Don’t think. Go!!

  • 5/5 Mireya R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pho and great service! The vibes are like eating at your grandmas house lol. The pho brother is super flavorful and delicious. Definitely recommend trying the egg rolls. We didn’t have to wait and got there at 11:30. Once we were seated the rush came in and it quickly became packed. The service is great which makes it a great pho experience 😊

    If you're looking for the best Pho in Pheonix look no further than Pho 43. Upon entering you can smell the aromas of the broth outside the parking lot. Needless to say we were excited to get inside and eat. I had the Beef/Brisket combo Pho, my husband had the shrimp fried rice. Our food was out of this world. The broth was exceptional. The portions were massive and the prices were low. They have an extensive menu and lot's of interesting drinks to try. I had the pineapple smoothie which is blended with condensed milk and it was great, not too sweet. My Husband had Vietnamese tea, best he'd ever had. Pho 43 is family own and the service was phenomenal. We never wanted for anything. Just go. Go now.

    Absolutely excellent food, there's a short wait all the time. No reservations permitted. Very simple layout, smaller dining area. Outside is vintage ethnic, but don't let that keep you away. All meals are authentic and the menu is large.
