Pho 79 - Minneapolis

Ambiance not the greatest but their family style Vietnamese dishes are amazing.

Delicious pho tasty egg rolls. I’m looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu…

Pho Hoa up the street had a fresher presentation of food.

Fantastic Pho! It looks Shady but trust me it's worth the dive-iness.

I believe this is my second time reviewing Pho 79. I’ve been going here for over 15 years and it’s pretty much the same. The menu, decor, furniture… same. All these are positives for this little Vietnamese restaurant. It’s not fancy but it’s not a hole in the wall. It’s family perfect and 2nd date worthy. The Pho is excellent and has plenty of meat. The bowls are big and delicious. My favorite is the hot pot with flaming heating element. The Canh Chua (tamarind sweet and sour soup) is PRO menu order you’re ordering a legendary soup that puts even a bowl of pho to shame. My personal favorite is the fries onions and squid entree. It’s amazing and tastes great! It may never change because it’s rightfully done already. Highly recommended for people who don’t need fancy but value Awesomeness. Another side note: I have taken clients and business colleagues here.
