My experience at Bowl of Pho was an enjoyable one. Located in a plaza just east of 271 on Chagrin Rd, Bowl of Pho is, as far as I know, the first and only Vietnamese restaurant in the area, and it certainly makes a footprint. The decor is easily the best that any Viet spot in Cleveland has to offer. Intimate lighting, clean, classy booths and tables, mirrored walls. Definitely not what we're used in Cleveland, which actually made me worry a little bit about the authenticity of the food (not to mention how diverse the staff was). No worries though, because the food, for the most part, was authentic and on point. What we ordered: - Melon / Mango Bubble Tea - both your standard fare powdered smoothie. Good, not great. - Banh Mi - Delicious, and LOADED with meat. Easily a standout on the menu. - Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe) - Authentic and good, though I'm not a huge fan of the dish itself. But it was full of bean sprouts, lots of meat, shrimp was tender and juicy, and the crepe was crepe-y. It reminded me of the Filipino "fresh lumpia". - Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio - Typically my favorite Viet dish to order, they actually failed to deliver. Although they really hooked me up with meat portions, and the shrimp was delicious, they (1) forgot the egg roll and (2) the flavor was way off. They made up for the first offense by preparing it after bringing it to their attention, but it was a little undercooked. As for the flavor, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but the dish overall wasn't flavored correctly. My dinner partner agreed that it was good, but not accurate to the traditional vermicelli noodle dish. - Pho Dac Biet - I had my reservations after reading some reviews, but came away pleasantly surprised. The soup was bursting with flavor with only a little bit too much cinnamon, and they were not stingy with the ingredients either. Lots of noodles, brisket, beef balls, and bean sprouts. Only a moderate amount of tripe though. Some of the brisket was served slightly undercooked, which as I understand is how it is supposed to be done, which allows it to cook in front of you to your liking. - Che Ba Mau - A wonderful dessert that strongly resembles the Filipino "halo-halo". The filling to ice ratio was about a 5:1, which is probably the opposite for halo-halo, but it was still delicious. I would have liked a little less of the beans and more of the green jelly. Despite the little hiccup with the cha gio, service was extremely friendly, fast, and attentive. I found the prices to be very reasonable, and the portions were probably above average. I would definitely go again, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, hearty bowl of pho.

Just okay... I've eaten a lot of good Pho around the Arlington, VA area and I have to say this one is just OK: it's good soup -- but just OK for pho. The place is nice, clean, new, but the following are the few things that I noticed that don't meet the "pho" standard I've seen other places for the following reasons: the lime slices were small, the sriracha sauce comes in a porcelain cup mixed with the hoisin sauce, and hardly any comes it it (I had to ask for more, typical pho places have bottles on the table), there were no (disposable) napkins readily available on the table for the (inevitable and typical) hot and spicy soup nose. As for the soup itself, the noodles were a but harder than typical pho noodles, the chicken in my pho ga was pulled chicken (all pho I've seen is larger thin slices of chicken), and finally the broth seemed over-oniony, a flavor I've never really tasted in pho. I also had the opportunity to try the Taro Bubble Tea, and while the flavor was good, the boba was hard, typical of boba that isn't quite fresh. Either way, like I said, it's a good soup, but if you're looking for an authentic presentation and flavor of pho, you might want to look elsewhere.

When I first found this place I was beyond excited that they had Vegetarian Pho, as it can be kind of hard to find in a place like Cleveland. That being said, I have yet to actually order the Vegetarian Pho because I keep getting distracted by all of the other delicious options! The food here is amazing. I'm a huge fan of Rau Cai Xao (stir fried veggies with tofu). It's honestly some of the best stir fry I've ever had from a restaurant, even if it is a bit over priced at $10. I've also had several of the other vegetarian entrees and appetizers, and they're all very good. I would have given this place 5 stars, however we've ordered take out from here 3 times and had problems with it 2 of the 3 times. The first time they never prepared our order and "lost" the ticket or possibly gave it to one of the other people picking up. It would have been a 20 minute wait for them to remake it, so we left. Another time there were several pieces of chicken mixed into my vegetarian dish, which completely grossed me out and made the rest of my meal not edible. I haven't eaten in or taken out from them since that happened. I would definitely recommend this place to my meat eating friends, but as a vegetarian I will most likely stay away.
(3)Alison M.
Meh, I've had better perfectly describes this place. My husbands Pho was alright, but my "bun" rice vermicelli dish with chicken was abysmal. They wouldn't let me get lemongrass chicken in it even though it was on the menu for another dish. The chicken it came with had a disgusting burnt BBQ sauce and the dressing had no fish sauce in it. It was basically the worst version I've ever gotten of my favorite dish at authentic Vietnamese restaurants. Utterly disappointing. I saw no one working here who looked relatively Vietnamese and their menu was tiny compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. I don't recommend Bowl of Pho for food other then pho.
(2)Be S.
Clean, refreshing, and a welcoming atmosphere. Their pho is really really good! I would have to say, best tasting pho in the northeast Ohio region that I have visited. Will definitely return for their pho...can't say the same for the rest of staff members. I don't think it will really hurt if they would smile a little more.
(4)Susan P.
I've gotten take out here at least 5 times and the pho is consistently good. I get the Pho Ga (chicken). They garnish with fried garlic instead of onions like I've had in other Pho restaurants. I like the crispy garlic better. The broth is really flavorful -- not watered down. They're quick, efficient and the inside of the restaurant is really pretty looking. My favorite piece of decor is the fish in the lobby fish tank that look like all the characters from Finding Nemo. Thumbs up.
(3)Christopher G.
Nice, clean, warm, friendly place. Very good Phó! Very good service with lots of smiles.
(4)Emily G.
Fresh, quality ingredients, great service. The meat crepe was something I had never seen on a menu before but was very tasty! Vermicelli bowl was good, but I wasn't blown away. Definitely get the taro bubble tea- you won't be disappointed!

I don't claim expertise in Vietnamese, so I won't make any claims to this being the "best" or "most authentic" Pho in town... BUT it is darn tasty. GIANT bowl of fragrant (anise, cilantro, scallion) beef broth with plenty of meat & rice noodles. Big plate of add-ins so you can "tune" your lunch to your tastes. Bowl is enough to share, and they are more than willing to accomodate. We enjoyed the #22, "deluxe beef pho" (everything on the menu has a number, even the drinks). I also liked the Vietnamese coffee (you should try it). My dining companion today was my 4 year-old daughter, she gave the Pho a strong thumbs-up too (although she ate the pho straight, no mix-ins), so you could bring kids here (there actually were a couple of other kids here during our meal) BUT there is no "kid's menu" , so if your child isn't game for the same kind of thing you're eating, better go carryout! Banh Mi & stir-fry dishes at neighboring tables looked delicious too. I'll be back for a return visit. I didn't get a peek into the kitchen, but the dining area and restrooms were spotless. Bowl of Pho is in the same strip mall as Whole Foods (around the corner). It's kind of a small-ish spot, I could imagine it filling up at lunchtime, so arriving early seems a good idea (or doing carryout). Pleasing ambiance, way nicer than your average "fast food" spot.

What a disappointment. Great if you like old, cheap ingredients and plastic tasting oily food. We got 40 dollars worth of food from the vegetarian section... the papaya salad and the shrimp rice paper rolls, veggie fried rice and veggie pho and it all ended up in the trash. complete waste of money. I've tried a number of other similar restaraunts in cleveland and i would choose any of those over this place. My older brother is a CIA (culinary institute of america) chef who cooked in vietnam for 6 months and in beijing for 6 months and has worked at numerous thai/vietnamese places in NYC and i would never think of taking him here....So lets get into it then shall we? The fried rice was sticky and oily, very yellow and had a few measley frozen carrots and peas tossed in. The fried tofu in that rice was the only tasty thing, the rest of it had a very strange plastic flavor that must have been from whatever cheap and expired sesame oil they tried to fry it in. the rice was so damn oily.... We also got vege spring rolls that were soooo garlicky or oniony that they would kill a vampire flat. much better at every other place i've tried, just dont see how they could screw those up??? the shrimp rice paper roll looked good, but once i bit into it i could taste the wierd flavor my wife claimed she detected. i pulled the sliced shrimp out and it still had the brown vein in its tail part and the tail fins were still on and was shriveled and withered like it had sat unrefrigerated all day. the shrimp tasted very fishy and "off" and the roll itself was gummy and warm indicating it had probably been made earlier in the day and not made to order...those just simply dont keep well, you have to make them as they are ordered or they get gummy and nasty...anyway that was sick too.... the papaya salad was confusing because it had this spongy soaked tofu that looked like soggy wheat bread in it and i was expecting ripe papaya but i guess they used green unripe fruit instead cuz there were no detectable hunks of papaya in it. strange. then the pho, it came deconstructed in about 4 containers with garnish, rice noodles, spongy tofu and brown broth. it did not taste good, it was very blah....i kno i kno, its vegetarian pho but you could use better ingredients and make it interesting. Bottom line, it appeared that they bought cheap ingredients like you would find at the asian plaza supermarket downtown and then upcharged on each dish. I hope you dont confuse this for delicious vietnamese food because that can instead be found @ Minh Anh and Phnom Pen. Dont waste your time or money on this place

I was so happy to hear of a Vietnamese restaurant in the burbs so close to home and couldn't wait to try it! The place is kind of hidden in the shopping plaza where Whole Foods is located (around the corner from Pet People.) It's super cute and clean inside and we had great service. We had #28 pho, summer rolls and the chicken and cabbage salad. It wasn't the best Vietnamese food I have ever eaten in my life but the food was VERY good! They even have vegetarian pho available. And it's in a safe neighborhood with lots of parking. *bonus* We were able to sample a shrimp soup they were thinking of added to the menu and I really hope they do add it b/c it was incredible. It had pineapple in it - if you see it on the menu or as a special, order it!
(4)P W.
The definition of having a bowl has changed drastically for me over the years. It now means some Vietnamese soup. I felt a slight tickle in my throat today. I wanted some pho for lunch. I work out in the land of the lame: Solon, OH so ethnic foods are just a dream. I called my friend and we went for a bowl of pho 8 miles up the road in Woodmere. The service was fantastic. The place was packed at around 1:30 pm and they got us in and out pretty quickly. I still prefer Minh Anh to any pho in the city but this will do in a pinch if you are out for lunch in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland.

:: VEGETARIAN REVIEW :: First of all, kudos to this restaurant to even have vegetarian dishes.. and then to have vegetarian pho as a choice is AMAZING! I'm no pho expert, but I would have to say that I've probably been to over 100 different pho restaurants (in my meat eating days), and I have tasted 10-20 vegetarian pho dishes in Los Angeles. I would have to say that their veggie broth would be in my Top 3. My BF also loves that they have brown rice available. The ambiance is refreshing, and the servers are warm and friendly. Yes, they are on the pricey side for Vietnamese food.. But if you live in the east side, saving the trek toward downtown is worth it especially when the weather is bad and you need that hot bowl of soup. Also, the restaurants in this area are all pricey anyway so really, what is a better choice when you need your Asian food fix?
(5)Tina N.
4 stars for Bowl of Pho is appropriate enough---their service was decent. Very clean restaurant. Decor was quite fancy for a pho restaurant. Food: Spring roll--was pretty good. Pho: the noodle quality was okay, I could tell my pho noodles were from the dry package and the noodles were left out to sit. Normally pho restaurant would use the fresh noodles, which taste better. The broth was pretty delicious. I wish they would bring out the bottle of Sriracha --instead of squeezing it onto a dipping dish. Bubble Tea: average. I didn't get to try the other things on the menu. P.S. I'm vietnamese and a visitor of the cleveland area
(4)Joyce B.
Sooo Goood. This is my first time at a Vietnamese restaurant. I had the charbroiled beef,egg roll,vegetable, noodle bowl. The flavors were very good and the portions very generous. There were six people in our party two were already returning customers. Everyone enjoyed there food and especially liked the spring rolls with there orders. The service was very efficient and pleasant, the decor sharp. I am looking forward to trying other menu items and recommend it highly.
(5)Angela S.
We went to Bowl of Pho for Father's Day, and we had a great experience. The staff was extremely professional and courteous. We had two small children, and they were very accomodating. The traditional chicken noodle soup is awesome, and the appetizer sandwich was one of the best sandwiches that we've tried in a long time. Overall, great experience and will return!
(5)Darren B.
If there was an option for 3 !/2 stars, I would have picked it. It certainly is the best atmosphere for explore Cleveland's Vietnamese scene and I love that we now have a Pho option on Cleveland's east side...however, I don't think Superior Pho or Minh Anh are going to feel threatened to lose their title of offering the best Pho in Cleveland. Certainly a worthwhile visit with a well-rounded menu, Bowl of Pho offers very nice food experience.
(3)Jamocha V.
I would describe it as authentic based on the number of Asian people I see eating there. I didn't learn about Pho until I was 41 and while Vietnamese sounds exotic, the ingredients are simple and common. Customs like putting pickles on a pork sandwich or adding mint isn't that different is it? The food is colorful, but not exotic in my opinion. Pho is glorified chicken noodle soup but it comes in an enormous bowl and is a little harder to eat. Like eating spaghetti with a soup spoon. Anyway, prior to a few places like this opening in strip malls, I only knew of a couple of Vietnamese places in the city. The whole menu is super affordable and healthy. I wouldn't recommend take out or going there for a quick lunch as I cannot eat the bowl quickly. Nor should you! We've tried about 5 different menu items besides the Pho and really enjoyed all of them. It's a great meal to eat before shopping at Whole Foods just around the corner.
(5)Mikey Z.
Went here on a lunch date for my first ever pho (and I'm from the DC area--really should have had some before!). My partner ordered the beef deluxe pho, and I ordered the vegetarian pho, plus a taro boba. Everything was delicious. The wait staff was very nice and helpful with us pho first-timers. Even though the food was a little expensive, the restaurant is very clean and nicely-decorated inside, and the food was totally worth it. Big bowl, fresh vegetables, and delicious broth. I liked how they shared the toppings between the two of us, which I assume they do for all lunch-for-twos. The tofu consistency was perfect. The only thing we didn't like was the tripe in my partner's pho bowl--but that is totally their fault for not reading the ingredients! I've since had vegetarian pho in Fairfax, VA and it was a disappointment compared to Bowl of Pho. I took my leftovers home, and ate them during the trip home--just as delicious then as they first were. Hope to come here again when I'm back in Cleveland!
(5)Meredith C.
I'm no Pho expert but I've been here twice and really enjoyed it. The vegetarian spring rolls are very good and the vegetarian pho is delicious. The people I've been with on the visits have enjoyed the regular spring rolls, various fried rice dishes and meat dishes as well. The servings are generous for the cost (especially given the location) and the ingredients seem to be of high quality. The place is clean, conveniently located and the service was very good during both visits. It's definitely vegetarian friendly as well, which is nice. I'm a fan!
(4)Jameson J.
It's not the best pho you're going to have - not by a long shot - but the bowl is HUGE. They platter of condiments served with it is equally large and the service is awesome. The broth with the pho itself is probably a B- or B, but the service, the beauty of the restaurant, and the quantity with far make up for the shortcomings.
(4)Adil S.
Not bad! At the same time not as flavorful as other more authentic Vietnamese restaurants in the region
(3)Alessandro S.
So glad to have a Vietnamese resto in the eastern suburbs. Is it ultra authentic? Who cares? I loved my vermicelli bun with crispy, non-greasy spring rolls. It does get very busy at lunch time, with tables full of chattering Pepper Pike housewives and gangs of dockers clad Office dweebs. (note if dining alone: sit at bar and bring a tablet -- they have wi-fi).
(4)Jessica B.
If for some reason you can't get to another pho restaurant, go here. But it'd be worth your time and money to try to find a place that offers up some pho that's better flavored. My "Bowl of Pho" was pretty mediocre. Not inedible, by any means, I just felt like it had the "essence" of flavor but was lacking in the authentic tastes and smells that I associate with pho. On the plus side, the bahn mi was good, although a bit bread heavy. Also, spring rolls were delish!
(3)Sally B.
Very good! Delightfully surprised and happy that there is a veggie pho option.
(3)Stepheni M.
I have been there 5 times hoping it would get better. If you need a quick fix for pho then it is just ok. We always get the Pho Ga and they never serve it with cilantro, strange. The chicken fried rice, wow very greasy, chicken chewy, and once the rice seamed old and crunchy, but it is always VERY GREASY!! Spring rolls are tasty. They do need to get a liquor license. The service, horrible, horrible, every time!!! I have been there when they are busy and been there when we were the only ones left to be ordering. Sometimes I think we are invisible there. There is one waitress there that knew us from a previous visit and still got bad service. The worst part, the staff sits at the bar folding napkins and eating and that has happened on two occasions. The server who knew us from the previous was eating at the bar and came to our table chewing the remainder of her food to ask if we needed anything else (we were done like a good 10 minutes earlier). I was so appalled !!! I make pho myself, I do have to say it is better, but theirs is a good fix when I don't have time. We do need Vietnamese restaurants on the Eastside without having to track downtown. Looking forward to trying the new Vietnamese restaurant for Pho opening at Legacy!!! Good luck Bowl of Pho!! I hope to write a better review if things change!!
(2)Mike B.
WOW what a nice place to go for something simple. I had the pork chop and came back for the beef and noodle dish with shrimp and it was fantastic. Spring roll was just right. Little bits of spicy cilantro tease you between the noodles and the lime. I will be back.
(5)michael l.
went there for lunch today. I had the beef pho which was very good.My wife had the pork chop which was little dry and they don't give you broken rice!
(4)Jim B.
Great Pho! First time visiting Bowl of Pho and was impressed with the entire experience. Easy to access location right off 271 on Chagrin. Nice clean decor, simple menu that included my favorite items. Pho tasted great and was a very good sized portion at a great price! will definitely return for seconds!!!

6 of us had lunch here today. I wish it had been a better experience. The place was very busy, usually a good sign, and we waited 20 minutes for a table. This was not an issue but after sitting down we waited almost as long for water. We ordered a variety of dishes and after another long wait everyone at the table received their plates....of green peppers. Seriously, green peppers! The seasoned stir fried vegetables which were described as " fresh green beans, sliced carrots, straw mushrooms, onions and baby corn", was presented as a pile of greasy peppers. Not even the onions were included. The shrimp salad at least had a few shrimp in with the peppers but they were tasteless. The tofu sate was a large plate of stir fried peppers over a few noodles topped with 5 bites of tofu. Peppers were not listed as an item in any of these dishes. After realizing that all ours meals consisted mainly of peppers we asked specifically about the stir fry dish, since this was the worst, only peppers! The waitress went away and after too long a time came back to tell us this was what they had today. She said she was sorry about it and went left. 5 minutes later she came back and said if we wanted to order something else she would exchange our dishes. We declined as it seemed pointless, every dish was filled with peppers and we were tired of being here by this time. Never did the hostess, cook or anyone else come by to apologise. The pho that we had was bland, we had to ask for the sauces that usually accompany the dish, and of course it came with peppers as a main ingredient. The only decent dish was the papaya salad which amazingly was spared the addition of green peppers. At the end of the meal one plate of the stir fry remained mostly untouched and the other plates left with varying amounts of the peppers. The waitress brought our bill which totaled $72.00 for basically a lot of peppers. There was no adjustment made for the fact that we didn't get dishes that even vaguely resembled the menu description. We shall not return and I caution diners, unless you love green peppers to the exclusion of all other vegetables, find somewhere else to eat!

Great food and great staff. Order the com tam or the pho.
(5)Joan H.
Friendly service and good food. This Vietnamese restaurant is a welcome addition to the east side.
(4)Whitney T.
My favorite Vietnamese restaurant closed, so I came to Bowl of Pho one day when I had a hankering for pho. I ordered takeout so I can't comment too much on the customer service. When I walked in to pick up my takeout, the girl at the front seemed confused but another man quickly came out and handed me my order. I had the pho ga (chicken). The broth was tasty, they gave lots of bean sprouts and culantro (i assume thats what the leaves were). However, they gave a pretty small amount of chicken compared to competitors for the same price. The seeds in the jalapenos were shriveled and brown, which makes me question their freshness. The rice noodles were stuck together in a big clump in the styrofoam container, but they did fine after i manually separated them and put them in the broth. The tiny cups of sriracha and hoisin sauce were fine for me because i don't like hoisin sauce and I only use a small amount of sriracha because i dont like things to be too spicy, but be sure to ask for more cups of sauce if you prefer a hardy amount. I asked for no red onions so I can't comment on those, but I would've preferred a bit more of the white and green onions. I also got the pork chop and rice for my grandmother. The menu says that it comes with tomato and cucumber, but there were no tomatoes. The pork chop was a nice size. I didn't taste her dish, so i can't say much more than that. It was just a pork chop and a ball or plain white rice with a couple of cucumbers and lettuce on the side.

No more Bowl of Pho. With a heavy heart I must write that I will no longer be a Patron of Bowl of Pho. As a regular customer since it's opening, I have found it to be a suitable, close to home replacement for Superior Pho Downtown. Recently, the restaurant has been sold and is now not even a cheap Facsimile of the Former. Over my last four visits out of dozens, yes I gave it four last chances, the protein portions in their Pho has become quite miniscule. On my second last visit I asked the girl working the front counter if the place had been sold. She replied yes, and said she was the new owner and why I asked. I told that it seemed like her portions have gotten quite small and she said there had been no changes. I asked her if I can have more meat and she begrudgingly did so. Today I visited, giving my close to home friend one more chance. Low and behold, I got my bowl of Pho, and the same portions. I actually took out the meat and took a picture. Four or five pieces of sliced meatball, four pieces of meat, and a tiny portion of tripe. During my latest visit to Superior Pho downtown, I took a picture of their Pho, you be the judge. I know another issue with my fellow Yelpers is the ridiculously small amount of Siracha they provide. It keeps getting smaller and smaller. Today the owner was out and the manager on duty couldn't even open the cash register to give me change. This man has been working there since day one, and can't even be trusted with the register. Shame. Not to sound like Anthony Bourdain, I must say Farewell Bowl of Pho, Farewell.
(2)Doug R.
In on business and was looking for quality Pho experience. Paid for broth and noodles essentially, there was no flavor and nothing else in it really. The scallions were about one top portion of the stem cut up. Host/manager and wait staff were arguing at the bar. Host/manager had an attitude the entire experience.
(2)Mindy N.
Pretty good basic pho. The broth tastes great with decent variety of beef-cut. I would come back :)
(4)Sharmeela S.
Best pho I have had. Delicious broth, good quality of noodles and chicken. Very reasonably priced at 8.95$ for the chicken pho. They have bubble tea and banh mi which I'm looking forward to trying.
(4)Selena Y.
This can't compare to Superior Pho, but it had what I needed for my Viet fix. I came on a random Wednesday night and this place had plenty of customers...looks like it's a local favorite. The grilled pork rolls were very good and the pho was decent, if not above average. Unfortunately the pho's soup base lacked some flavor and the bowl had less noodles than I expected. I just wished that the restaurant would offer a bit more hoisin and sriracha sauce to make up for that lack in taste, but it is what it is.
(3)Thomas C.
Dream location if you do the regular Whole Foods - Trader Joe's loop for your grocery shopping. It's right there for a quick, healthy lunch between stops. There is one major thing, though, that the Pho enthusiast would take major exception to, and should know before entering. They don't put bottles of hoisin and Sriracha on the table. They insist on bringing you tiny sauce ramekins instead with your pho. And if you want more, you have to ask for them...one...by...one, which the server brings to you each time more begrudgingly and grouchily than the next. I understand that perhaps the restaurant is going for a "nicer" look and thus doesn't want to crowd the table with condiment bottles, but it comes off as miserly portion-control (You shouldn't be trying to save money on Sriracha and plum sauce; these are MAIN staples of Pho, like ketchup to a french fry). As for the Pho itself, it's a bit pricier than the usual, but when I tried it, it hit the spot, for the most part. The broth was slightly sweeter than one would expect, but the noodles, vegetables and beef were prepared to standard.
(3)Jay P.
The restaurant had a very clean and nice atmosphere with friendly staff. The menu has many nice Vietnamese options. I ordered mango bubble tea which was on point!!! To eat, I got the bun tom & thit nuong. My fiancée makes this dish at home, which I prefer. BUT it was still very good and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't live with a Vietnamese master chef! ;)
(4)Danny C.
Located in strip mall next to whole foods and tjmaxx. Great little spot when you need to get your pho fix. Really enjoyed there papaya salad. Service was quite good.
(4)J J.
The pho is hot and large and tasty, and everyone who's in the know knows this place is awesome sauce. Don't mind if I do!
(5)Nao M.
Bad service, ok pho. Didn't worth the drive. Interior was too fancy, so was dish. I'd give B for Food, C for place, D for service. The waiter was plain rude.
(1)John B.
Decided to try a new spot after some needed shopping. On a cold crisp evening, chicken noodle soup sounded perfect and the Phö Gà was. Huge and I mean HUGE bowl was served piping hot with nice serving of rice noodles. Side serving of spring rolls, also served hot, crispy and perfect. My wife had the same and says "ditto" to this review. Try it when on the Eastside, and we will be back again. PS. If they have their coconut ice cream...do not hesitate...order it! Homemade and can really taste the coconut. Served on a thin waffle with a side serving of peanuts! Perfect ending.
(5)Rob F.
Very good Pho. Their Vietnamese sandwich pronounced "baan-mi" is one of the better ones I have ever had. I always get the deluxe pho with 3 kinds of meat. I like this place, service is good as well.
(4)Anthony L.
A great find tucked away off chagrin blvd. food was very good, and not expensive at all.
(4)Patrick H.
I am a connoisseur of Pho Ga (chicken noodle soup). I do not pretend to eat anything else when I'm eating Vietnamese food and thus my myopic review will shed light on only the pho. I had the huge bowl of soup and it was as good as I've ever been served. $8.95 + .72tax =$9.67 It's more than I'm used to paying for pho by a few $ but it was worth it. If you like the pho den you know the place ta go. Get some!
(4)Ebony J.
The food was good! I had the tofu kao piak and although I had to add tons of flavoring I was pleased with the outcome. The only thing I didn't like is that the sticky rice did not come with the meal, it was expensive and not enough for the extra charge. Minus one star.
(4)MK N.
Highly recommended! Great food and Great service. #1 Pho - Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup

I was craving Vietnamese food today (yet again) so I decided to try someplace closer than 31st & Superior. Firstly, I'll say that the woman who took my order over the phone was very nice. Bowl of Pho is also nice on the inside but I ordered my food to go so I can't really comment on their waitstaff. Since everyone, their mothers and their grandmothers praise Superior Pho and pretty much claims everywhere else is mediocre (at best), I wasn't really hoping for the best. I was just hoping it was edible. I ordered 2 orders of spring rolls, bubble tea (strawberry), fried rice (chicken), and deluxe beef noodle. The bubble tea, while good, tasted... odd but not in a bad way though. It was very sweet and it tasted like a red licorice shake. O.o Luckily, I love red licorice. But it definitely didn't taste like strawberry, not even remotely. The tapioca pearls were good too and in my opinion, they were better than *gasp* the ones at Superior Pho. The food was pretty good too. The pho (which was my main dish) was terrific with a multitude of flavors and spices that hit the palate just right. Nice amounts of meat (not an overabundance but not super shady either). I had my food to-go so when I got home, I put in the the meat, sides and noodles which, because I'm assuming they don't rinse off their noodles, were super starchy and was kinda congealed to the styrofoam to-go container. However, after me breaking it up a bit and placing them into the pho, they broke up a little bit so it wasn't just clumps of ramen sitting at the bottom of my bowl. The chicken fried rice my husband ordered was really good. The spring rolls were good as were the sauce but I have to admit that Superior Pho is well, superior with their spring rolls and the sauce (oh dear God, their sauccceeee!!). All in all, I came in not expecting much and now I'm full of delicious food and a new Vietnamese spot to eat at when I don't want to trek all the way downtown. Oh! Also just as important, they are slightly less expensive than other places I've been too. That's always a plus to me!

Walking into the restaurant we were a bit worried about how authentic the food was going to be. There aren't too many Asian restaurants around this area, and the few that are here serve American fusion cuisine...nasty fusion cuisine, I have to add. I came here with my Vietnamese friend, so the first test was to see if any of the staff could actually speak Vietnamese. Luckily our hostess/waitress spoke Vietnamese, test #1- check. It was another cold winter day in CLE so we definitely ordered pho (the deluxe beef noodle) as well as the grilled noodles- which have grilled shrimp, meat, and spring rolls with vermicelli noodles. For starters we got the grilled pork rolls. Test# 2 was obviously how authentic and good was the food- mainly the pho. I have to say, my friend and I thought the pho broth was quite decent. Maybe 2nd or third best in CLE that we've tried so far? I trust my friend's opinion, since she was born and raised in Vietnam- who would argue with someone that has eaten pho all her life?! Haha for restaurant standards, it was good, and filled our pho cravings. (If I had to compare it to homemade pho....well, there's no comparison.) The only slight downside to the pho here is, they give slightly less meat than I'm used to seeing. For me personally, I'm ok with that since I don't eat huge amounts of meat. For others, they may be slightly disappointed? Maybe order extra meat with your pho? The grilled noodles and pork rolls were good. I think it's hard to go wrong with more simple dishes like that. I like that they grill the rolls here, the taste is more delicious than the plain rice rolls served at other restaurants. The prices are slightly higher than other Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to, but then again the area is slightly more upscale as well. Our waitress was very friendly and sweet, and checked in on us to make sure everything was good. Overall it was a good experience and we would probably come back if we were in the area again! You passed both tests- congrats haha!

Quite delicious beef pho. Fresh, with large portions. Pretty hard to complain really. I liked it.

Dinner tonight was great. Bowl of Pho is a welcome addition to the Beachwood / East Side area. It presents a great atmosphere in a small space. For our appetizer, my wife and I split the Cha Gio Ghay Spring Rolls - they were light and moist and delicious. Her entree was the Goi Du Du Papaya salad - she enjoyed it with the soy house dressing. I had the Pho Ga Vietnamese traditional chicken noodle soup. It was filled with flavor! The noodles were soft and the chicken was tender. I was concerned that the soup would be salty and there wasn't even a hint of it. There was so much it felt like I left half of it there, but I was totally full. We also had the Jasmine hot tea pot. This was almost flavorless and I was expecting something more. It was my first time trying this beverage so I have nothing to compare it to. Our dinner was $32 including tip. For a delicious hot meal in a nice atmostphere, it's definitely a restaurant and experience I highly recommend. Here's hoping it does well, because I'll be going again.

For Pho in Ohio, this place is great! However, I'm used to large Vietnamese communities and the food they produce, so I'm forced to think about it from that perspective as well. But the reality is: there is nothing bad about this place, it is perfectly average, and in that it is amazing. I got a bowl of pho with eye round and I asked that they add some shrimp to my bowl as well. It came out a short while later and the serving size was enormous. They definitely get points for that! The meat was all pretty rare and cooked in the broth (what I asked for), which was very yummy. The only thing that annoyed me about it was that the portion of noodles I got was smaller then I would have hoped. But realistically, it would have been hard for me to eat all of it even if there had been more, so I guess it's not a huge deal. The broth here is pretty good. Not oily, very flavorful. It was a bit on the salty side though and the broth was murkier than I remember them being. However, it did not taste bad at all. Side note: I forgot to ask, but there *might* (keyword) be a possibility that the broth has MSG in it. If you have reactions, you should ask because the broth tasted like it was possible that there was some in it.

What a find! Outstanding food, vegan-friendly menu, efficient service with a smile, clean and attractive decor. But the real kicker is, all this quality comes at truly reasonable prices. One minor quibble: when the place is packed (as it was on a recent Thursday at lunchtime), there's little privacy, with tables placed closely together. But this place is a new favorite.

Went here for lunch yesterday. Moving from the East Coast where pho places are plentiful and wonderful, was happy to see there were pho places here too! My first impression when I walked in was a good one. Courteous and sweet people greeting us at the front door. Nice looking place. There are two main reasons for the 3 stars. The menu/options and the food itself. The Menu: For a place that has Pho in the title, there aren't a lot of pho options. I'm used to going to a pho place with the 14 standard pho options... variations/combinations of eye round, brisket, flank, tripe, tendon, or chicken. There was no tripe here! That's my pho go to! There wren't any options really. I was so sad. BUT to be fair there were vegetarian options my husband got to enjoy... not something you see usually. So instead of 2, it's a 3 star compromise. Good Vietnamese drip coffee, but that's not too hard to make. The Food: The broth had too much five spice, you lose the beef's natural flavor/brothiness. And the eye-round was cooked already, which is fine but there's something tender and lovely about raw meat cooking in your broth to show how hot the broth is... BUT the veggie pho was a nice mushroom broth so vegetarians don't have to worry about the food. Maybe next time we'll try the other dishes. But the pho was "eh, okay". Didn't fill my pho needs, but it was alright with legitimate vegetarian options.

Food came out fast. Portions rather small. Food didn't have as much flavor as we expected. Place is small, intimate and packed on Friday night.

Took the family there and boy, what a disappoint in service. One person waiting the entire restaurant. While this person was taking our order, which took a long while, the phone rang and she had to go get it. Apology or not, it was irritating. Additionally, the portion sizes were small and too many useless decorations instead of actual food. The only redeeming item is the pho broth tastes great.
(2)Jamie K.
Nice small restaurant. We only saw meat pho options. The broth was flavorful and serving size was average. Kids enjoyed the chicken skewer appetizer and mango bubble tea. Overall, it's decently priced and we will go back for a casual family dinner.
(4)Kim K.
I have been here on three occasiosn and the food and service have been consisitent each time. Their portions are big and food is very flavorful. I am looking forward to going back and getting something else.

I come here from time to time for lunch because it is close to work and need my fix for Pho. We don't always have time to drive into Cleveland. The servers are very nice and the tables are clean. The spring roll (meat and vegetarian) are very tasty. For what it is, the Pho is okay in taste and portion size. Maybe I'm nitpicking but the noodles are always in one semi-solid compressed clump. When the Pho is served, I always have to break up the noodles and have them sit a few minutes in the hot broth to get them soft. It's almost as if they don't give enough time for the noodles to heat up in the broth before serving. Other than that, it works out to be a okay bowl of Pho.

It was a nice place with a decent selection of items. The food was served quickly and had a large serving. Dont let the outside fool you, inside is decorated nicely.

Two words: vegetarian pho. Stopped in over the weekend for lunch. I was surprised to see how packed the restaurant was. The staff seems painfully new, so we waited for what seemed like a long time to get drinks and to place our orders but hopefully that gets better in time. (they haven't even been open a month yet) Our waitress also hadn't tried a lot of the menu items, so she wasn't all that helpful giving us suggestions on what to order. But at least she was pleasant. We started off with the vegetarian spring rolls. They were definitely homemade. And were definitely delicious. I've never had the opportunity to try pho before, so I ordered up a big bowl of the vegetarian variety. It didn't disappoint. Well, it didn't disappoint until I made it too spicy by adding things, but that's my own fault. My boyfriend had a dish that seemed like pho without the broth. It was a shrimp and beef noodle dish. He's generally not all that into ethnic eats, but he slurped down the whole bowl. This new restaurant is definitely worth checking out. And as an added bonus, unlike some of the other pho serving joints around town, your car won't get broken into and you'll feel safe walking alone in the parking lot! P.S. I thought the restaurant was a little hard to find. It's in the Whole Foods shopping plaza.

Came here with little expectations since I know there are "superior" pho places around the Cleveland area. However the food did meet my expectations. I ordered the deluxe version of their pho. The deluxe version added meatballs, flank steak, beef brisket and tendons in additional to the sliced beef eye round, noodles and greens that you'd get with their regular pho. The food came out very quickly and the server was pleasant. The pho was served with a side of bean sprouts, sliced lime, jalapeños, and basil. Sriracha and hoisin sauces were also brought out. The broth itself was not bad. It had a more airy taste than the broths at other pho shops. The broth tasted more herby. Perhaps its my acquired taste towards other pho broths, I didn't find this as good. The meats in the broth were too well done despite opting for the rare version of the sliced beef eye. Although it came with a variety of meats, I feel for $9.95, the quantity of each variety can be more. The noodles itself isn't too different, although it did seem thinner and slipperier. After finishing the noodles and meat, I left the broth to settle. Usually I would see the broth become "cloudy", but this wasn't the case with this broth. This indicates that the broth wasn't made with enough bone marrow or wasn't cooked long enough for the proteins to separate from the bones. All in all, this is a good place to grab lunch, especially this is the only place in the east suburbs that serves pho.

After hearing buzz from friends about a pho place located close to home I had to check the place out. Knowing that it's situated in a neighborhood close to Mayfield and ETON plaza, I had a feeling that it'd be on the pricey end so I figure the place would be worth it but nope, I was wrong. Inside the place looks nice but that don't let it fool you. The prices were unreasonable and the food tasted mediocre. Having to pay close to $13 for a bowl of pho, there are better places to get this at than here. I ordered their vermicelli with shrimp and pork which i believe was #28, don't remember how much it cost but there were plenty of vegetables than the meats itself. To me, that's kind of a ripoff. Being Asian and tasting so many other pho dishes from a variety of places, this place is just plain. I've experienced it better somewhere else and seeing that the owner looks familiar to Pho #1 in Asia town gives me the feeling that it's just another chain of theirs. I wouldn't go back. After paying our bill, the waiter short changed us so that was another downfall.

I have now been back to this restaurant several times and must declare that I'm an even bigger fan now that when I initially tried Bowl of Pho for the very first time. To date items off the menu I've tried: Pho: Dare I say, I think this without a doubt the best pho in Cleveland. My dinner date agreed and he knows good pho! I've tried the chicken and the beef. I like the beef a little bit more as I do find it a little more flavorful. Seriously the pho here is legit guys. Summer roll: They give the option of grilled pork, pork and shrimp or just shrimp. The summer rolls were fresh and tasty. The pork was still hot from the grill. Why is this important? Well it means that they make these rolls to order and don't pull them out of a refrigerator from the day before. Pork noodle bowl: Excellent flavor. The pork was grilled to perfection and had that great smokey, slightly sweet flavor to it. Chicken cabbage salad: This was the only dish that I have tried that I did not care for. I found the proportions to be off. (Too much cabbage that was sliced to thick. The dressing was fairly flavorless and there was a mound of steam bland chicken breast on top). I wasn't even going to say anything, but they must have suspected that I didn't care for it when I only ate the chicken off the top and the manager asked me if I wanted to exchange it for something else. More importantly she inquired about what I thought was wrong with the dish and how they could make it better the next time. (First time that's ever happened!) The restaurant itself is cute and they've done a very nice job with the space. The ambiance is much nicer than any of the other Vietnamese restaurants that I have visited in Cleveland. The presentations of food are nice with extra garnishes that are a thoughtful touch. Does all of this compensate for their slightly higher prices? YES!!! The pho is about $8-9.50ish depending on the type and $4-5 for the summer roll depending on the type, but keep in mind you are also paying for their prime location. I should also mention that the service is excellent. They were really well staffed when I went. It's a new business and they are trying to build their customer base and it shows. Finally the east side has an excellent Vietnamese restaurant! 5 stars for food!! 5 stars for service!!! 5 stars for location!!!!!

Not bad but like with most pho restaurants the seating is tight. Pho was nice but I can't remember much. Tranquil setting Would eat there again and I have.

First time experience at Bowl of Pho. Great food and friendly service. Definitely recommended!
(4)Jeff B.
3.5 stars. The broth was nice. I had the Beef Pho sans the tendon and organ meat, had eye of round rare,brisket(or so they say) and some other types of indistinguishable cuts. The broth had a nice flavor but was lacking that punch. If I had a cinnamon stick I would have to tossed it in. Maybe it was missing clove? The girl whom I was with ordered the chicken pho. It had a nice flavor. My pho came out with the noodles in a clump. Once I broke it up mixed in some jalapeños, lime , basil, and sprouts, I was ready to chao! The pho was about 10$ a bowl, I think there should have had a bit more meat! I was unable to finish all the noodles. . But still aprox 25$ for dinner for two is still quite reasonable. Our server was really nice, she reminded us that drinks were cheap, like 1/2 price. I did not have one , it would have been too much liquid. Bottom line it is a good place and great location and you do not have to drive down to Clev's China Town! I will be back!
(3)Tessa R.
So i have been coming here far to often! In fact they all pretty much know what i would be ordering every time. Quite embarrassing but well then again i don't care. Always get number 32, the noodle salad esque with chicken and spring roll... Always start with the roast pork roll and tried bahn mi for the first time and totally smitten. Not the cheapest perhaps, but certainly close enough to come here often! Good food, good service and nice atmosphere. With tjmaxx and whole foods market nearby, this place is definitely a favorite! They also recently added alcohol to the menu, total plus!!!

Pho was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. The dish was heavily influenced by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat. It is believed that "pho" is originated from "pot au feu" a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese. Stopped in to Bowl of Pho with my co-worker today and we learned how to say Pho correctly. It's pronounced, 'fa'. Anyway, I ordered the Com Chiên - Fried Rice with shrimp. Mark ordered the Pho Tái - Beef noodle with beef eye round. Mark liked his Pho and after he added some of the sauces into the Pho, he liked it even more. My fried rice was sticky and tasty. The five shrimp were perfectly cooked and delicious, but the portion could have been larger. I mean, you get a ton of Pho in a bowl dishes, but not a ton of rice in the stir fry dishes. Anyway, the quality of ingredients is outstanding here. The food is really good and the service is solid. With tip, lunch was $13.80 with water to drink. Recommend!

Pho broth was very weak and bland. Very stingy with hoisin sauce and seracha sauce they kept serving it in a tiny sauce plate. But not bad for being the only Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Price is reasonable. Atmosphere is good. Clean place. Staff was very nice. Service was good overall.
(3)Debbie L.
This place has beautiful, peaceful ambiance and should be delicious. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre at best. It is well-presented and the ingredients are fresh but the flavors are bland and overly sweet (even tho viet food typically sweet). The noodles in the pho were in a big clump and took quite a bit of work to separate and disperse into the soup. My pork bun was luke warm and very bland. Overall a huge disappointment. We won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place. Very sad because this place has huge potential.
(2)Robert H.
This is my very first ever review. I felt obliged to give my review because my experience and taste of the pho I had was absolutely a joke! FYI, I had the Pho Dac Biet - Deluxe Beef Noodle Soup (combination of meat balls, steak, tendon). The broth basically tasted like water and had the consistency of water - no flavor. Usually the broth would be prepped overnight to get the juices & oils from the beef, spices, star anise, etc. For $9.95, I felt the portion of the bowl should have been larger, including the meat and noodles. Also, I had ordered a Taro Bubble boba. The tapioca balls were the worst, they had the consistency of bb-gun pellets. IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD PHO, 'BOWL OF PHO' IS NOT THE REPRESENTATION. I was so excited too for some asian food too! =( Disappointment indeed.
(1)Kelly R.
Update: This was my second visit to Bowl of Pho. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as the first visit. I had a craving for pho, which I normally get from Superior Pho (The Best, hands down!), but didn't want to drive downtown. I ordered spring rolls, the cabbage chicken salad and the deluxe pho. My dining companion ordered the meat skewer trio and grilled chicken over noodles. The spring rolls were just ok, a little bit mushy and not a lot of flavor. The salad was pretty good, but kinda skimpy for the $9.95 price and the pho was a let-down. The meatballs didn't have much texture, the beef wasn't appetizing, there were pieces of tendon (I think) in the soup, which was off-putting and finally the soup wasn't served steaming hot, therefore, by the time I finished the contents of the soup, the broth was lukewarm, murky and not very good. The accompaniments (basil, bean sprouts, lime & jalapenos), were fresh, but I agree with other Yelp reviews that the small dish of siracha and hoisin, was insufficient, I would have expected a bottle of each on the table. Maybe if I had not been to Superior Pho, this pho would have been ok, but once you've had the best, it's hard to settle. I would go back, but definitely wouldn't get the pho.

Bhan mi grilled and warm. Bigger than I'm used to and the toasted bread added a nice touch. I couldn't use the metal chopsticks they have available. Must be for chop stizzle level users. The Pho ban biet was actually surprisingly good. Had some exotic meats up in there with some tripe to boot. Authentic, no fusion going on here. The decor was the nicest Vietnamese restaurant I've experienced. I'm used to hole in the wall, looks like they just set up shop in a random space, type 'Nam diner. Service was quick and friendly for lunch. Give this place a try if you are in Beachwood.
(4)Jennifer L.
I have been coming to this location since the day they opened. Their food is consistent in flavor. On their opening day, their service was not very good, as it took a long time to get our food. Every since then, their service has been much better! They are always very friendly and even remember their regular customers by name! Their pho is different compared to other locations; it has more of an herbal flavor rather than meaty flavor. But it is still delicious and light. They give nice portions, and you should definitely get full from one bowl. It would be nice if they would start offering a small bowl, but I don't mind the leftovers ;) Their pho is not the cheapest compared to AsiaTown ($10 for the deluxe pho with everything in it!), but it one of few Vietnamese options in the suburbs, so it's worth saving on gas. It helps that I don't work too far away. I have not tried much else here because I refuse to order the com rice dishes anywhere if it does not come with the steamed egg patty (I guess I have been spoiled with the authentic stuff lol). They do have a good taro dessert there that is definitely enough to share! I will be back again!

Thanksgiving weekend vegan drama! Family was in town, and we had to pick places to eat that were veg/vegan friendly, due to a couple party poopers' stances toward harming delicious, delicious animals (just kiddin' -- I love my filthy hippie relatives). And they were staying in Woodmere, so this was the first place that popped up on Ye Olde Cell Phone Search. I am honestly not a huge Asian fusion/Vietnamese fan, but this place definitely offered up the delicious. Of course, I had the seared pork chops, which were awesome. Other people ordered special dishes and/or fried rice and/or pho. We all shared, and there was goodness all around. Might not personally be my first choice, but this place gets two thumbs up.
(4)Angie K.
Yeah! Veggie friendly pho! Love. It was really good. The rolls (both fried and fresh) were good but the sauce was better. Glad to find pho by home. Very clean. I will be back.
(4)Chrissi C.
Clean, refreshing, and cute restaurant. Their pho is really really good and so are the spring rolls so far. I have been here many times due to a business trip and eat here every time. Will definitely return for their pho... I do think the staff needs to be a little more engaging and less bar huddle.
(4)K S.
3-star food with 5-star service... went there with my kids and the hostess and waitress were super nice! Made us feel welcome and kids enjoyed the time there too :-) Beef Pho - Pretty good; could be better much better if chef has paid more attention and skim the broth (ex. scum from meat). The Pho soup should be clear and has great aroma. The Pho broth at this restaurant was mirky which comes from not skinning the broth constantly. The beef slices were nicely prepared though - very tender and tasted good. The beef meat balls found in the Pho needs work as it did not taste good at all. Service was simply excellent! Maybe my family got lucky with friendly hostess and awesome waitress. Although food could been better I'd go back because of the good experience I had here. Lastly price - Every item seemed about 10 - 15% higher than typical Vietnamese restaurant price. Pho for $10? Considering the location of restaurant, I guess price had to be raised to pay the rent. But for $10 for Pho I'd expect spectacular soup broth. I'll go back there if I'm in the area though :-)
