I love this Vietnamese place, super quick, friendly, usually packed, artsy, stylish interior, easy ala carte ordering, and most important, delicious phở ga bursting with gobs of chicken essence and noodles, and giant fried dumplings full of meat and veg and noodles. I always want to try some of the other menu items but I usually crave the basics and they do em well here for $ 4,$ 4 for awesome quick phở!

It’s funny. Sometimes you don’t have any expectations at all, and you’re just blown away. This happened to me at Phở Vietnam. My friends and I were so hungry after flying in from Norway an early morning late in December. We figured this was an okay spot to eat lunch before we started exploring town. Little did we know that this would be our favorite restaurant in Prague. At first, I thought I would have an issue ordering gluten free food. Naively, I tried to ask about gluten in english, which the staff off course did not understand a single word of. I then tried to show them a translation in czech — which also proved to be a mistake, and they still didn’t get a single word. But then it occurred to me — what if I show them the translation in vietnamese? I tell you — always bring the gluten free translation app — it works wonders every time. i was told I could eat almost everything, and they would make sure it was gluten free for me. Oh joy! I ordered a chicken phở, at it was every bit as delicious as it should be! I am dreaming of eating more of it as I am writing this! Broth full of taste, crisp warm onions and vegetables and tender chicken filet on a nest of perfectly cooked rice noodles — yummy! needless to say — we ate breakfast/lunch here as many days as we could. Unfortunately they were closed over the new years, so we didn’t get to visit as many times as we wanted to. But oh well. Next time I’m in Prague — I will eat here every day!

Finding Vietnamese food in an European city is always weird. At least in my head, since I always forget how many people immigrated here. Comparing to the American-style Vietnamese food, this place is manned by Vietnamese people and tasted more authentic. For starters, the phở broth is flavorful and the noodles are not clumped together. They have a chili pepper bar where you can collect your favorite kinds of spice to dump into your soup, including fresh Thai chiles. Be warned that they don’t speak English very well. We have one Vietnamese speaker amongst us and she ordered for all of us. This is still a far cry from the average place in Vietnam, but nothing beats a steaming bowl of soup of familiarity in an unfamiliar city.

Sorry this place is just not that great. 4 stars? This place wouldn’t even make it in California as anything but average at best. Weak selection, no side vegetables, and bad service. The phở itself: Broth average to slightly above average. Noodles average. Beef average to below average in taste. But average phở wouldn’t warrant a bad review. This review is because of the service. We went in at 9pm and they were already cleaning up the place(it closes at 10) and basically ignored us for a few minutes before someone said we have to order at the counter. Then me and my buddy were essentially ripped off. We ordered the spring rolls which the picture shows 4 but instead we got only 1. It was towards the end of the night so I suspect they ran out of them but they still charged us full price. It was only about $ 1 so we didn’t bother fighting it too much but if there’s one thing I hate, it’s false advertisement. Anyways if you’re from Prague maybe you will like it but if you’ve had any decent phở this place is not that great. Read the newer reviews, which seem to be more tourist who’ve eaten phở before.

I ordered a traditonal vietnamese dish with beef and vegetables-no taste, dry and sorrowly boring. I would rather eat for 80 czk lesser in a fast food vietnamese that actually is a phở restaurant too but not so fancy. I usually eat there when I have my pleasent stays in Prague. but there is no check in at that place and I don’t come from this town so it’s not easy to explain where the location is. but the direction of the site is inside palac metro nearby narodni trida tramstation-line 22,16 etc. but this place is not worth visiting if you want my honest opinion. It only get 1 star from me to complete the review.

DONOTEATHERE. yesterday i went here and my friend ordered meals for both him and i. they wrote down the wrong orders… we ordered two orders of number 12 but they wrote down that we wanted 2 orders of number 22. the lady at the counter argued with us when they brought out the wrong food and told us there was nothing she could do about it since the food had already been prepared. she was extremely rude and over and over kept refusing to bring out the right meals for us. eventually she just started ignoring us so i told my friend to demand his money back. she refused this as well. finally, she realized we werent leaving until we either got the right meals or got our money back so she(reluctantly) agreed to make us the meals we had actually ordered. i cannot stress enough how unbelievably rude the staff was. they made the mistake and then refused to fix it. there was not even an apology. i never write reviews even after bad service but this was such a bad experience that i would like to spread the word. maybe you shouldn’t open a restaurant if you don’t even know how to treat a customer/human properly? just a suggestion. the food wasn’t bad but they don’t deserve your service. there’s lots of options for vietnamese food in prague– don’t waste your time/money here.

Agree with the previous reviewer… Would I recommend — no Would I return — no Not even close to OK. Food quality not good. The springrolls were dripping of oil and probably been standing for hours. PHo was below average. not all ingredients were there.

Would I recommend — no Would I return — no Okay — so Prague has their fair share of Phở spots. This one in particular is nothing to write home bout and definitely not worth going out of your way for(Iike I did). Overall the bowl phở is borderline sub par /average. The nail in the coffin is how they do not serve Vietnamese coffee with a glass filled with ice. Absolutely unreal. On the other hand the rolls look good but are not made to order. So, two stars it is.

Very great Vietnamese food, the Phở Ga has a good chicken broth. A little salty at the end. You can add all the spices, peppers, and sriracha you want! I thought the spring rolls were good too.

Super cool, cheap and clean Vietnamese fast food place. You can only order food at the counter, the queue usually goes pretty fast, and the food is prepared quickly. The choice of meals is very typical for a Vietnamese place and the dishes are quite tasty. Usually there are a lot of people, especially during lunch time, but we always managed to get a table. Definitely an interesting experience.

Basic vietnamese food that’s good in a pinch. The phở broth was a bit salty. The goi cuon are a nice snack and great to take to go for another meal as they keep really well.

A friend and I visited for lunch on a Saturday. It was surprisingly pretty packed. She told me that Vietnamese food had gotten pretty popular in Prague which is cool, but I noticed that most of the people were not having phở. Instead, it was mostly fried rice & other dishes that are similar to Chinese food. The phở was decent and had pretty good flavor. I found it odd that they didn’t have hoisin sauce though. Maybe they just didn’t understand me but they did have Sriracha sauce by Huy Fong(Rooster sauce). We also got the spring rolls were decent too.

Delicious! I had the beef phở– the broth was excellent and the beef was good as well. Decently cheap… All the phở dishes are 99 ck. Also tried the fried spring roll which comes with a nice dipping sauce. They also do takeout.
