Pho Xich has some of the greatest local Pho I have ever tasted. If you aren't paying attention, you can miss the location. The signage isn't huge, so pay close attention. When you first walk in, you are greeted with the mouth watering aroma of Pho broth. The restaurant has a great dining area. The service is ok. If you are someone who needs outstanding service to enjoy a location, skip this place, but....if you love good food and can forgive the service, check it out!! The ambiance is incredible on a cold winter evening. The music that plays in the restaurant is not too loud and fits the location perfectly. Soft and uptempo jazz were a few of the selections I experienced while eating here alone. I ordered the Pho with steak and Brisket. This brisket is salivating. I could have easily gone without the steak. Once I added my lime, mint, and chili oil...I almost drank the entire bowl of broth. I was so full! I usually leave the broth, I didn't want to! It was soooooo good! Don't think twice, just go!!!

I've lived in the area for a while now and have never been. Where has this place been ?! I'm in love. Was sick and ordered pho as a suggestion from my brother. Wasn't sure what to expect because I ordered the Pho Chicken instead of traditional. It was just what I needed. Flavorful rich broth, yummy noodles and tons of fresh herbs. Crispy Bao Buns especially tasty. I did the bbq pork option. Viet Egg Rolls crispy and super flavorful. Same for the Crab Rangoon and Egg Rolls with noodles. Can't speak to ambiance as this was a delivery order. Food arrived well packaged and hot which is the most I can say about service without having been on site. Adding this place to my favorites for sure!

Food was delicious and service wonderful. I had the pork bowl and my hubby had the beef / brisket pho. Perfect portions and perfectly prepared.

With the weather cooling down I wanted something warm and Pho Xich Lo did not disappoint. I tried the miso ramen and couldn't have been any happier with my decision. It was the perfect temperature, full of flavor, and a very decent portion for the price! The service was excellent too! We came on a Friday night and we're seated right away. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other menu items. The pho and the sushi burrito are calling my name!

We came in here looking for something warm, and we came to the right place. Very friendly people and it has a cozy feel inside. We ordered Spicy Pho and Pho Tai. The soup was flavorful but not too greasy. The meat was fresh. The spice level on the Spicy Pho was about right to me. Looks like they have a Sunday Brunch Buffet and a good selection of Bubble Tea. Will come back check out more on the menu.

This review is for their Sunday brunch, which we recently attended with my family of 3. I believe it is only from opening til 2p. We came from out of town & arrived around 1230p. Parking can get a little complicated in this cute little area, but there was plenty when we arrived & also noticed there is a parking garage, just a little bit of a walk though. When we arrived, we let them know we were here for the Sunday brunch & we were seated right away. I follow them on FB & have noticed not every Sunday is the same as far as menu items & am not sure if they provide some sort of menu or ideas prior to anyone planning to go check it out. Some weekends I've noticed they had mussels, shrimp & Shu Mai, but they did not have those items during the time we went. I do like that they bring out things freshly made & replenish pretty frequent to keep things fresh. In addition to their Sunday brunch is the beef pho, chicken pho & beef Ramen. They're decently sized bowls as well, so we were all able to share those as we would've been really full. You just need to request those items & they will bring it out to you. I did not try everything, but they had shrimp spring rolls, some sort of steamed item with filling that I found bland, crab ragoon, fried dumplings, won ton soup, mini eggrolls, bahn mi, vietnamese salad with shrimp & pork ears, a noodle & stir fry dish & a couple of desserts. Everything I did taste was good besides the two steamed filling stuffed items I found bland. The broth for their pho was flavorful & their Ramen broth was decent. I was impressed with how stuffed their bahn mi was, just be careful eating it as there is a toothpick in each one to help hold it together. I did not try their noodle or stir fry dish, but I tried their dessert because they just brought out the freshly fried bananas & it was yummy! For roughly $25 before tax & tip, I'd say it was worth it as we ate plenty between the 3 of us & would definitely come back to try it again on another Sunday, or just come try some of their menu items!
