Pho Nomenon is a quiet little place on Washington serving vietnemese cuisine at a reasonable price. You get what you pay for and that's about it. I had the crispy noodles with shrimp. Noodles were crispy and shrimp was cooked well. Service was friendly but spotty. One of our party's meal was completely forgotten.
Nice place to satisfy a pho-craving in the area.
Willing to try a new place, stopped by Pho Nomemon just before closing time, around 9:30pm, on a weekday and like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, "I've had better."
Ordered the Pho Tai Chin Nam Ve. Disappointed all around: the broth was bland and I counted a total of five measly pieces of beef. Also, my Pho was warm instead of coming out hot and steamy. Perhaps my experience wasn't great because it was closing time. Either way, I felt rushed (as did another poor patron that was asked if he was finished even though there was still food on his plate and he was chewing his food) and the Pho was a mediocre.
Even though they have the best beef sandwich around, I shall never give them my business again.
The girl packed a lemongrass shrimp to-go order in a flimsy styrofoam container and it spilled everywhere. I called and spoke to her and asked for a credit and suggested they pack take out orders like everyone else in 2016 in the airtight plastic containers with the black bottoms. She flatly refused and said she could only give me a dollar off my next visit.
She also said "We've never had that happen" to which, I replied it was all the more reason she should give me a credit considering it's only happened once.
She again refused and accused me of "holding it wrong." As if I was born yesterday.
I told her I was in there all the time and if she didn't do the right thing I would never give them business again.
She still refused then hung up on me.
Not sure if it's a cultural thing, as many Chinese restaurants don't care about their customers, either, but this one definitely lost my biz forever… over an $8 lunch. Pity.
Saynora, Pho Nomenon.
Food is okay, but not great. As one of the only Vietnamese restaurants in Hoboken, I've tried eating here a few times, but have never loved what I ordered.
They do have really convenient online-ordering right through the Yelp app, and delivered my food in about 30 minutes. $20 delivery minimum. Prices are reasonable, but you definitely get what you pay for
I'm always apprehensive when it comes to trying Vietnamese places because I'm Vietnamese and mama's homemade cooking is always best.
Compared to thanh houai in downtown Jersey City, it's definitely 5 times better. The food is way fresher. You can tell the pho is tastier because the aroma is more potent. They're a little stingy on the meat though. My other favorite dish from there is the grilled pork with flat noodles. It's so good. The only thing they need is a dessert menu. Did I mention this was BYOB as well?!
The place is small but cute. The people are friendly and the service is great. You can't beat the price either.
I've been here a few times for pho before I actually tried much else on the menu. The pho I thought was average – it was good, but I've also had better. Granted it's the only pho place I know of in Hoboken. I was very pleasantly surprised by their Asian Spicy Chicken with mixed vegetables, though. It was very well cooked and super tasty. The texture of the chicken was very tender and the veggies had a nice crunch to them rather than being mushy and unappetizing. I really enjoyed that dish – it was similar to something you'd get at a Chinese restaurant, but cooked way better than most places. On point.
One thing I was pretty disappointed about was their Vietnamese spring rolls. They have a very strange texture – the wrap is sort of thick and chewy/doughy rather than thin and crisp. I was not a fan.
The service is good here. They're fast and efficient, getting your food to you quickly. They're friendly and pretty attentive to your needs. No nonsense. Although, I think the kid serving us may have forgotten about our spring rolls at first… Other than that though, pretty good.
Pleasant, casual, moderately quiet. It's nice, not a hole in the wall by any means, but I've worn sweatpants here without receiving any judgmental looks, too.
Tldr; pretty good place, check out their other items on the menu other than pho, skip the spring rolls 🙂
Came here for dinner with friends and thought it was pretty good. I got the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. It was very filling b/c its mainly a rice dish. I got the thai iced coffee which was good but my dripper took forever to drip the coffee which was kind of annoying. prices were reasonable and service was friendly but they did forget about one of my friends meals so she had to wait a little bit.
