😠 Please do not come here. The food is not that good. The owner will try to overcharge you for everything, the bottle of tea $7. We ordered 2 orders of egg roll and she gave us 4 orders, 2 orders of spring roll she gave us 3. Charged us for a cup of water too. Like who does that. A can of soda listed...

The list goes on. When confronted she acted like we ordered it and she don’t know anything.

    Ok , So I am taking the time to describe my experience with this restaurant because I think it’s important people know how they treat their customers. I walk in here , and stood there for about 10 minutes with the Waitress coming and going pass me. She didn’t acknowledge me and was very rude to me for no reason. I asked her if she treats every customer like this, she then tells me I can leave but they are too busy. Now mind you I have been a regular customer who patronizes this restaurant regularly. The manager then walks up to me defining the waitress horrible customer service . So I then asked him if that’s how he treats his customers or black people. I walked out at that point and will no longer be going there.

    Food: Let’s talk about food. Beef stock is delicious. That is only things I can paying them compliments. Their chief did really good ! That is why they can still get 2 stars. Service: Really bad experience with their service . I’m the only customer in their restaurant. They are not busy at all. “ready” is the only words their waitress said to me before I walk out of restaurant. I still pay 1 dollar tips for her,because she hand to me my noodle soup anyway. (I normally give 20~25% tips,) I was thirsty but she ignored me for ask water. BTW their side veggies of their noodle soup are not fresh, I don’t know how long they keep in their refrigerator. As you can see, long hairs dropped inside. I didn’t eat at all. All in all : I give ‘em 2/10. Go somewhere else to have same things not too much different. I won’t come back!

    Went to this place 2 years back and loved it. Sadly. I can't say that anymore. Service: Waitress was friendly, but service below par. The restaurant was less than 50^ full, but she did not know what entrees were available or not. They were also short on beef for few entrees. We had to call her multiple times to get more water. The busing lady was loud and obnoxious. At first, i thought she was talking loudly through her bluetooth; however, she kept talking in Loudly in Vietnamese. Entrees: - Summer roll apletizer was delicious - Steak and beef brisket pho was the only entree with a decent flavor. - Seafood noodles were bland. - Vermicelli with beef which was average. The waitress didn't even bother to pack pho leftovers properly. The plastic bag was full of broth. Never going back to this place again.

    I used to love getting takeout from here but will not be returning. I placed an online order, through the online ordering clearly available from the Google restaurant card. I received a confirmation email and the charge was posted to my debit card. However, when we arrived to pick up the food we were told they do not fulfill online orders. We showed them the confirmation message, from their restaurant, and they said get your money back. So we asked for a refund and they told us to get out and started helping the next customer and ignored us. We have ordered online multiple times before. Terrible service.

    For those who don’t know this place, they have the most amazing mango smoothies…I come all the way from Miami for this. And if I drive by I don’t miss a chance of getting it. It was definitely made with passion. Their food is excellent, services are amazing…I believe they have new management, and the new owner is very friendly and helpful every time I stop by. Love their papaya salad and pho dac Biet. But my absolute favorite is the mango smoothie. Must try!!! 🤤🤤

    Ordered a family size soup to go. The meat and meal was not cooked. The manager told me I have to cook it myself. Then he told me if I want my refund to bring the food back and he’ll give me a refund. I think that’s disgusting that he was going to take my food back and possibly Give it to another individual. I highly recommend not eating here and going somewhere else. The food wasn’t even good the pictures lie! Still in disbelief that I’m here at home with a $30 bowl of soup cooking it myself.

    TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! RUDEST AND DISRESPECTFUL WAITRESS EVER!!!! We have been coming to this restaurant for the last 3 years and my husband and i moved from California where we first try pho years ago, it’s our go for Vietnamese food so we know how the meat texture/taste should be. Today we came back after few months and had the usual pho Thai, as I was digging in my bowl the meat had a soft texture and horrible taste/smell , I throw it out of my mouth and when i touch it with my fingers was like a paste, started digging and taking meat out of the bowl and the same, it was rotten meat. I call the server and she played dumb, asked her to call for her husband who’s the owner and the one at the kitchen and she said he was busy (there were only us and a Vietnamese lady at another table) she turned her back and ignores us. I waited and after a long 20 min he finally came didn’t wanna recognized what was in front of him just saying all the time it was the same meat, meantime his wife was yelling in the back speaking Vietnamese to her husband, making faces at us and hissing at me aggressively giving us creepy faces with wide open eyes, at some point I though she was going to throw something at me. At the end he bring the check and was charging for extra beers that we didn’t have. Worst experience ever, I can agreed to some of the reviews here saying she is racist, there was a Vietnamese lady behind us and the treat was completely different. Don’t waist your money. Never coming back here. I wish I would has taken a picture of my meat.

    Completely blown away! So far had the vermicelli with grilled pork and the shrimp spring rolls. Even though vermicelli is a relatively simple dish, this one is the best I've had. The grilled pork was just fantastic. This place is the best Pho in FL, can't wait to come back!

    This place use to be called Pho Lavie but the son took over it completely, the restaurant has done a complete 360 from the pho to the staff. The pho is 10xs better and probably some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The broth is the extremely savory, the veggies are highly fresh. I had the meat combo that came with meatball. I never liked the meatball but this meatball was out of this world! So if you’re looking for that comfort bowl that you get from pho, you’ve gotta come here!

    Delicious! I really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were crispy and not too hot. Shrimp and vegetables in these are very fresh and my daughter can't stop eating. My egg noodle soup came out very quickly and it was as well delicious. The prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back with my family for more.

  • 5/5 Aubrey T. 4 months ago on Google
    This is a good neighborhood Pho place, but it's more than just a pho place. They have a pretty extensive menu of all sorts of Vietnamese noodle soup. Spring rolls with shrimp are good. The service was great and all three servers checked on me from time to time so there was no wait for any additional requests. The food came out quickly and my drink was never less than half full. You could tell they sincerely appreciated my business.

    The food here is amazing! We love this Vietnamese restaurant here because it's aromatic and the portion is a big load. The large special Pho had all kinds of meats and was very filling. We also ordered the sliced pork with rice which is massive with char-grilled lemongrass sliced pork, egg roll, egg cake, and egg with steam rice. And their spring rolls are must-haves! Super crunchy and fillings are well flavored. They're also very generous with the vegetables to eat with these dishes.

    When we arrived at the Restaurant, the wait server greeted us with a warm welcome and gave us a tour of their elegant seating areas. The prices were quite affordable for such a lovely place. In fact, the overall atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, and we didn't want to leave! Our meals were sensational; I had grilled pork egg rolls vermicelli, and my husband had spicy noodle soup, and it was delicious!

    server here are so great!! They treated me as if they were my own daughters! They paid attention to all the little details which really set this restaurant apart from the rest. For me, the prices here were quite low for Vietnamese food though I have not tried it anywhere else. However, neither have I tried other kinds of food at Pho Ocean yet - delicious food, 5*

    My family was dining at an amazing Vietnamese restaurant last night. We had Spicy Noodle Soup, which fit the cold weather that has just set in around here lately. And to our surprise, we love the tasty of Pho here! All our family members had good feedback for Pho Ocean. It was a great way to warm up after an extremely chilly October afternoon.

    Lunch with a couple of friends. Pho seafood is so delicious. However, my friend really liked the Banh Mi here. The flavor is so deep and savory. The restaurant is also nice, clean and bright. The servers are friendly and pay attention to detailed orders. Overall, this is the best restaurant in FL to eat.

    Our family loved the food! We have added Pho LaCie to our favorites! Looking for great pad Thai tIvey have it too :) food was amazing- services was top notch.

  • 5/5 Viola H. 8 months ago on Google
    The servers were so kind and gave me all the insight I needed regarding menu items at a super reasonable price during my first experience there. They offered to bring me samples of different types of PHO so I could decide which ones to try depending on what fits my criteria for this type of meal best. I wasn't hungry, but everything sounded amazing!

    All employees were informed of the restaurant's layout and purpose, so they answered almost any question you asked them with a smile. I can tell they use fresh ingredients and are delicious. Many thanks for my great lunch! 5 stars

  • 5/5 Luis Y. 9 months ago on Google
    PHO dish was the best in Pompano Beach. I could tell they used fresh ingredients and the broth couldn't have been better. The servers explained menu items to me and gave me great suggestions! Their vibe was nice and calming, and I will definitely be back here again soon.

  • 5/5 Lucinda J. 9 months ago on Google
    Staffs are all friendly and well-spoken, helpful when ordering or deciding what's best to order for my party. I ordered grilled pork egg rolls vermicelli, Pho and Bun Bo Hue some cups of coffee. The prices are reasonable for the high quality of cuisine provided in this establishment. A huge thanks to you when hearing a lot of good feedback from my friends.♥️

  • 5/5 Michael M. 9 months ago on Google
    I'm particularly fond of their spicy noodles soup because the sauce they use makes it super flavorful. The service is always incredible too. On the downside, though, the restaurant is usually really busy, so I typically plan ahead in order not to wait too long.

  • 5/5 Charles C. 9 months ago on Google
    I came here with my husband last week. The staff was very kind and courteous, ensuring that every guest felt comfortable during their dining experience at Pho Ocean. The decor is homey but straightforward, definitely reminiscent of Vietnam's countryside. It also smells amazing thanks to the lovely aromas from the kitchen permeating throughout the entire establishment. Wonderful!

    Under new ownership, this Vietnamese restaurant has truly exceeded expectations. The revitalized menu showcases authentic flavors with a creative twist. The attentive and friendly staff ensure a delightful dining experience.

  • 1/5 LENNY K. 1 year ago on Google
    No light on in restaurants. save energy? ordered Vietnamese noodles. she too few vegetables bring it So I ordered more, but the waitress got annoyed and brought them with her bare hands. I have never experienced service like this in a restaurant. There are guests, but they speak Vietnamese very loud, so you have to make your meal very big. And in restaurants, they do business without turning on the lights. it's a weird restaurant.

  • 5/5 Grecia T. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegan Pho, was absolutely delicious. Grandpa can cook! Freshly made, veggies looked and tasted amazing, broth was tasty, along with fried tofu. Other restaurants do not take the time to fry tofu. Service was a bit slow but so friendly, I understand they are an older couple, so don't penalize them for that. The lady was very nice to us. A little ambience music would be nice too. This was my first time there, and I loooooved it!

    Service is good, the Server was nice and polite, the food, unfortunately was really not good, we love Pho but here was was pretty bad. I think they used to be great and now they are just tired. Not worth 1 star but worth 3 because the service was still good and the server tried to do her best

    We just moved to the area and are so happy to find this very nice Vietnamese restaurant. I've craved Banh Mi's ever since we went to Vietnam and was excited to find this place less than a mile from us. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The prices are reasonable. I would just recommend to them to play some Vietnamese music or something. This will be a restaurant that we frequent.

    Authentic Korean Restaurant. The Pho was delicious. Portions were huge. Plenty of Parking. Staff was friendly and it was obvious they were trying their best. There may be a communication glitch or 2, but for really authentic food, well worth it.
