Pho Thahn Do

“I always get the same thing – a large pho bowl with medium rare beef.”

“I ordered the Pho Special, and it was absolutely delicious, large bowl, contained lots of noodles and meat.”

“Their vietnamese pancake is delicious, all of their roast pork dishes are great, I love the dishes served on rice sticks (which are really more like rice noodle mats, but delicious all the same).”

  1. One of my go-to viet spots. My only complaint is that the pho bowls don't give you much of the tripe, tendon, other items even in the big combo bowl. But flavor is good, egg rolls good, and my favorite is #47– bbq pork with rice sticks. This is the reason I love coming here. Most other places don't offer this.

    Bring cash there's a credit card min of 20 or 25 I forget.

  2. Authentic appearing Vietnamese restaurant. Probably the best Viet I've had in central NJ (though that in itself isn't saying much).

    They have Vietnamese omelets, which is cool.

    The summer rolls are very good, especially the sauce.

    The pho itself was flavorful if a bit too salty. Meat was a bit scarce but on par with other NJ restaurants I've been to (it's gotta be a NJ thing – in NYC I am used to a lot more meat with my pho).

    They gave a lemon instead of a lime with the pho even though the owners are most definitely Vietnamese. I guess we can stop making fun of Chinese owned Vietnamese restaurants now for doing that??

    Many good Vietnamese drink selections on the menu apparently though I didn't try any.

    Service was great.

    Very close location to H-Mart is a big plus to my wife and I… why don't people just drive here to eat rather than at the terri-bad H-Mart food court which is always packed??

  3. Top notch Vietnamese joint really enjoyed it great prices have their own unique fish sauce was absolutely wonderful.

  4. I was craving pho for a while and I found this little gem hidden in Edison. From the appearance most wouldn't think too much of it but the food here is excellent (although I only ate pho here). The prices are also very cheap. So unless you are in a big group, bring cash because there is a minimum for card and it is strictly enforced.
    Pho. I haven't ever had pho this good before. The flavor was very rich and you just want to finish it all. It's no problem finishing it because it's perfectly tailored to your tastes (you add additional sauces such as Siracha and Hoisin sauce). I've been to a few pho places in NYC and those places cannot compare to this. This is just phenomenal. The pho just feels very homemade because of how much the customer is in charge of their own pho.

  5. Great pho!  I came here with my family and two babies.  The owner was super accommodating about our seating arrangements and helping us get the high chairs in the right positions around the table.  As we had 10 people total, we ordered lots of the fried spring rolls to share.  It was really good.  A disappointing point was when they didn't have salt + pepper squid, which we all REALLY wanted.  

    That being said, their Pho is pretty good.  The meat was just the right amount of raw.  Great flavor.  I was slightly disappointed by the tiny sliver of tripe in my combination order since that is usually my favorite part.  All in all, I would definitely come back and maybe order the combination with extra tripe!

  6. I haven't had Vietnamese food at a restaurant for so long that when my cousin took us here I was so happy.  Got my usual order at a PHO restaurant which is always a rice dish with shredded pork and pork chops and it taste as good as I remember.  
    I don't order Pho at any restaurant because I am not a total fan but if I was to eat it I would rather have my mom's pho.  
    We also ordered eggrolls and springroll and I don't have anything bad to say about that.  It was just good to eat something that reminds me of my mom home cook meals.  I wouldn't mind going here again when visiting my cousin.

  7. I was really craving pho and wanted to try a new place, so I came here. But I wasn't too impressed. The pho was average, and it did a quick fix for my cravings!! However the service was very bad. My friend and I were literally the only customers at that time because it wasn't lunch or dinner time, but when we finished our glass of water, no one came to refill. Also, we waited 10 min for the waiter to check on us or give us the check, no one came by, so I went up to the counter instead. Lastly, it has a $15 minimum credit card, which is kind of inconvenient! But the bowl of pho wasn't expensive.

  8. First I would like to say that I have been going here for over ten years. When I was a college freshman I was brought here and never looked back. Locally, this is the best pho you can get. Comes out piping hot and delicious. Portions are great you never leave hungry.

    The same lady has been serving me for 10 years. She's quick on her toes so while some may feel rushed she's just eager to get your order. And believe me, it's comes super fast. I mean within minutes your appetizer (I recommend the spring rolls or sharing a bahn mi sandwich) also the pho just instantly appears in front of you. They are super quick.

    Use all the toppings, the thai basil, bean sprouts, squeeze the lime in just toss it all in and mix. If you like it spicy squeeze in the siracha. The world is your oyster.

    Anyway, our bill for two large bowls of pho and spring rolls came out to be $20. You can't beat that! So its not like 5 star environment but trust the food is legit and good.

    Tip: credit card minimum is $20 so if you're not used to carrying cash just consider that. Help a small business out!
