“ Pho Real was such an awesome experience! The vibe is really cute, the food was great, and the customer service was spot on! Definitely recommend this place for anyone in the Boise Area wanting to try some delicious pho! ”
“ Everything was super fresh and the atmosphere was great. The server Michael was really friendly with such a great attitude. I love Vietnamese food and this was top notch. The summer rolls were perfectly fresh and the sauce in particular was - I don't know how to explain it but just a little bit better than most places. I also got Bun (vermicelli with pork and shrimp) and again, everything tasted super fresh - the meats in particular. Lastly the outdoor seating is really nice the way they have the planter boxes and the overhang. Highly recommend! ”
“ Pho Real in Boise is hands down one of the best spots I’ve been to! The food was absolutely amazing – packed with flavor, and the sauces had the perfect spice that tied everything together. The cozy vibe makes it feel so welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful, which really made the meal even better. I also loved that the owner takes the time to come around and personally greet each table – such a nice and thoughtful touch that shows how much they care about their guests. Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish! ”
“ Some of the best pho I've had! Clean, clear, delicious broth. Decent portions with all the right things, even sriracha and hoisin in a saucer for dipping my meat or adding to the broth. And the restaurant itself is beautiful with some of the kindest servers! ”
“ Playing Oldies in a Pho place was an amazing experience! Noodle portion is slightly smaller than normal portions. But in my opinion, it was just right. Give the young dude waiting tables a raise! the food was perfection ”
“ Upon arrival, the atmosphere was so inviting, intimate and comfortable! The outdoor patio seating was very beautiful with their fresh flower beds and flower covered pergola. The indoor seating was spacious and the decor was very fitting to their aesthetic. Service was phenomenal and extremely helpful in deciding which items to order. I tried their summer rolls, egg rolls, and Real Pho house special. The appetizers were light and refreshing. The pho broth was a bit mild in flavor but still tasty all the same along with their meats and vegetables. Only complaint would be the metal chopsticks. It's a little challenging even for experienced chopstick users when picking up noodles, meats and vegetables. Bamboo all the way! For any first timers in Vietnamese cuisine, I'd recommend trying Pho Real if you're in the Boise area. I'll definitely be back to try their other entrees and make it for happy hour! ”
“ Exceptional service and the pho broth was delicious. I'm not a fan of the egg rolls, but I'm sure others would disagree with me. We also ordered the beef sandwich to just to taste it. It was delicious. Yes, I would definitely come back. ”
