Pho Luca's

I tried Pho Lucas once months ago and was disappointed by the very bland chicken pho. The broth literally had no flavor. I decided to give it another try last night as I was told the beef pho is better. We ordered spring rolls and the beef pho for pick up. For the price, none of it was worth it. Their “regular” size, which I order very often at other pho establishments, should be labeled a small. I have never had such little amounts of meat nor noodles. I always, and I mean always, split my pho in half and save the other half for the following day as the portions are typically big. However, the entire portion from Pho Lucas was half the size of other phos I’ve gotten at other places. The noodles fit in the palm of my hand and there was only 2 pieces of brisket and 2 tiny pieces of rare ey

I used to love this place but ever since they got new management the pho has not been good. Second time going since they got new management. Last time the pho broth was inedible. This time the Pho broth was oily and bland. And green tinted…..? Such a bummer.

One of the top Vietnamese in Richmond. the food is pretty authentic. it might be hard to find parking becasue it's near the campus on Cary st. The chicken wing app comes in four pieces , good flavor but it would be great if they have some flavor options to add on such as spicy. the combination pho has good amount of meat and flavor is really good. if you are hungry you can get the big bowl but i think standard bowl is enough for one person if you order appetizers . Service is great. Our waitress is fast and super friendly, the space isn’t big. It gets busy during lunch time.

I really like this place. Food is really good. Love the vegan pho Buuuuut I’m really tired of restaurants charging the vegan tax on vegan options. The vegan bowl is the same price as the beef bowl? Beef is at all time high, up nearly 20% last year, due to historically low cattle population in the last 75 years. Chicken is $1 cheaper than the tofu option. Literally both of those animals eat soy…and my option is more expensive. All these Richmond restaurants, pretending to be woke but then profiting off people trying to make the world a better place.

Normally my husband and I love making the 40 minute trip just for the pho and service but today was not it. The waitress with the long black hair completely ignored us even after making eye contact with me several times. It wasn't until a young gentleman came that we received service. I believe his name was James, if not I apologize. His service was great. The food was not as great as we're used to. My husband's tea was unflavored. The tea bags were in the pot of hot water but there was just no flavor. We got our usual, the all beef cuts combo. Upon the arrival the both bowls weren't hot at all. They were a mediocre warm. By thr time James got back to our table it had been some time as it seems he was bussing tables, making drinks, and serving food. Tables went untouched by the other wait
