Pho Bac Restaurant: Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine in Richardson, TX

This is by far the best pho I have ever had! I had the Pho Kobe beef! And spring rolls was fresh and sooo good with the peanut sauce! I can’t wait to go back

This place is my favorite, and I absolutely will gatekeep it. I love the rare beef with flank pho and end up getting it at least twice a week. I’m equally obsessed with their banh mi. My fiancé and I grab it all the time for a quick, light, and delicious lunch. I’m always impressed by how fast the staff works—no matter how busy they are, I’ve never waited more than 15 minutes to be seated, and that’s being generous. Overall, this is hands down my favorite pho restaurant (and take it from someone who worked at a pho restaurant for two years).

This pho place has become a favorite of mine, despite being my first experience with pho. I’m a repeat customer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The quality of their soup is exceptional. Their beef stew #9 is a must-try. It comes with tender beef pieces, carrots, and a generous amount of fat that adds a delightful flavor. The thin rice noodles complement the dish perfectly. I recently tried their spicy beef stew #25, and it was equally delicious. It features thin slices of beef, pig feet (if you’re a fan of menudo, you’ll love the flavour) and thicker rice noodles. I also enjoy their hot tea, which has a slightly bitter taste that I find palate cleansing.

Great price for the quality. $6 for my pate banh mi was whiplash from something that would’ve costed $10+ in New York for half the quality. Same thing applies to the pho and spring rolls. Will be coming again.

This restaurant serves the best pho in town! The beef noodles are incredibly delicious and hot, making them the perfect remedy for when you're feeling under the weather. The friendly, family-oriented atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a truly comforting place to eat.

Food is always amazing, I tried some other Phơ and that was trash it made me want to come back here, this place has the best Phơ so far, I recommend everyone to come. Customer service is amazing here, I do my best to pronounce my meal and they help me say it right with out laughing in my face like other places; employees here are so kind and respectful. Lemonade actually taste like it and its a perfect mix like if a Latino family made it. Phơ is perfect the broth is just right, they fill up the bowl with the perfect amount of meat, noodles and broth, nothing overtakes the other. The environment is beautiful and calm. I am so grateful they opened up on a snowy day, they deserve 10⭐ No matter how full the restraunt is they always serve the meals to the table fast, it wont take more than 5 from the time u order(thats a group of 2-4)This will always be my to go to Phơ

Always come here for the pho tai – it’s legit amazing. I always add beef tendon and tripe too… game changer. The broth is super flavorful, and everything’s cooked just right. If you’re into pho, you’ve gotta try this place. Try “pickle onions” an “Ot sate” - it goes so well together with beef.

Bear with me, short story long… I got flu A & B this past week, and I’m no stranger to the method: Tylenol/ibuprofen, cough suppressants and liquids (water, electrolytes & broth)… Which brings me to here… I went to another establishment and was turned away bc of a routine maintenance… anyway, boy am I grateful to them. I walk in around 1-2 pm and didn’t wait too long to be seated. Ask for water as I usually do to scan the menu (I knew I wanted pho) and when they return with my water I order. I order shrimp spring rolls with the peanut sauce, brisket pho and call it a day. Spring rolls were solid and IMO not hard to mess up so I give them 7.8/10? Now to the pho. Listen… I don’t care for soups in general (besides menudo and pozole) and I can’t remember the last time I had pho so I wasn’t expecting to love it but man… this pho hit the spot. It might’ve been my illness but man, I nearly cried. Broth was rich and flavorful, brisket was good but a little dry so that specific bowl was an 8/10. Well… I was sick AND the doctor DID tell me to rest up and keep “doing what I was doing”… so I did… I went back 2 more times. Next 2 times I tried the beef round eye and that was superior to the brisket. Meat was tender & delicious, and in this rendition it came with whole scallions (I assume). Pho was a solid 9/10. In addition, Bánh Mì (sandwich) took me by surprise for two reasons: the pickled veggies and the mayo. The pickled carrot & daikon radish in this sandwich was spectacular: tangy, crunchy and sweet. Bánh Mì I’ve had prior to this restaurant haven’t put mayo in them, they’d usually put pate or something similar to a refried bean texture. Regardless, the grilled pork Bánh Mì was SENSATIONAL 9/10. Service was friendly and prompt. I didn’t expect them to chit chat bc I think the service is simple, most people in there ordered the Pho and I noticed when it was a full house (Friday & Sat night) staff functioning was like a well oiled machine and the kitchen staff/food runners were what an athlete would consider “in flow state”. Would recommend. Will go back… and hopefully not when I’m sick.
