Pho Tay Do

This was a very nice experience! It’s a small house in the west end area of Richmond, not far off of West Broad. I read about it on a Northern VA Foodie Facebook group and just happened to be staying in the area the next day, so I stopped in with a coworker who really loves Pho too. It’s a small house in a neighborhood filled with similar sized houses, but it was easy to find, as it was the only ‘house’ on the street with a large parking lot, which was packed! I walked in and the inside was packed too, and that was around 1PM. But I was immediately greeted and he said he’d clean a table for us. We sat down and checked the menu and I was happy to see such a huge variety of so many Vietnamese delights, not just lots of Pho, but different styles of entrées and appetizers too. I tried t

Now now now… The Black man greeting people is with it. He is friendly, fast and hospitable. Seriously great service. Secondly the pho (beef broth with tofu) was so darn good! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ No compliant about it at all. The rice paper spring rolls can be worked on meaning: it only comes with the tofu and noodles, it would be nice if there were some fresh veggies (carrots, cabbage, mint, tofu, cucumbers and noodles with a dash of salt) - bam 💥 Other than that we really were happy with the service and pho. 🍜 Side note: there may be a wait. So be prepared.

I spent a lot of time in Vietnam and I ate a lot of pho! The prices are so fair. The broth both the chicken and the beef are very flavorful and they have several different sizes. You can choose from. Also, if you’re doing Takeaway, they do let you choose sizes where a lot of places do not let you choose the size the place is a little hidden it’s behind full kee in a little house there is street parking because a lot is very small when I left on a Saturday at noon when a blizzard was coming in it was very crowded and people were waiting for tables. They only take cash. The one bad thing I will say is I found the egg roll a little greasy.

Absolutely fantastic pho spot. The broth is full-bodied, rich, and clearly well made, deeply flavorful and truly authentic. You can tell a lot of care goes into every bowl. The prices are amazing for the quality you get, making it an easy go-to. It’s a small restaurant and can get busy on weekends, but don’t let that deter you. the service is quick and efficient, so you’re in and out without feeling rushed. Definitely worth the wait and one of the best pho places around. 🍜

Cash only — small / limited seating — limited parking — WORTH it! — tons of vegan/vegetarian options. This is the absolute best Vietnamese food in richmond and surrounding counties. My partner and I come at least once a month and are always treated like family. I have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years and the food has always been reliable, delicious every single time. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is always friendly. The paintings by the current owners father that line every inch of the walls of the restaurant, add a unique atmosphere and make the experience of eating here even more special. I notice something new in his paintings every time. Thank you to the family that has kept this place what it is. I would be miserable if it weren’t for
