Vietnamese Bar & Restaurant

I wish I could give a real review, but after waiting around 40 minutes for spring rolls and soup, we walked out. There were 3 other tables seated in the restaurant when we got there, and not one person had food in front of them. Sorry I didn’t get to taste the food!

Going today to this restaurant was a not good choice. It was completely empty and we were there 1 hour, Sunday 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm normally in this area a good restaurant is busy at this time, the food was nothing to said whooooo! The phở soup didn’t have flavor and no hot, the fish was a very small fried fish with no flavor,
When we go in to the restaurant all the waiters was seated watching a football game and they stay there for a good time. service like not like always in oriental restaurant and they charge 20% for service

I called ahead and ordered a medium phở tai to go. When I got there I noticed the doors of the restaurant were wide open, which was very unappealing. Bugs and critters can fly/​scurry on in with ease and the kitchen is near the entrance. No bueno.
The host that was there appeared to be the lone server as well and he seemed a bit overwhelmed as there were also several tables seated. When he finally brought me my order I checked to see what accompaniments were included and noticed there was no hot sauce. I asked if I could have a small side of sriracha for my soup and was told $ 1.50…
Yes that’s right, $ 1.50 for a squirting of sriracha to go. The same sriracha they offer on all their tables for guests to use as they please, like salt and pepper for FREE, was going to cost me $ 1.50! All because I ordered my food to go. I pointed this out to him and was just told over and over that «it’s different when you eat here». I paid the same price as I would have if I ate in, so I’m not quite sure what this «difference» is. If you are going to charge takeout customers for a condiment that you normally offer for free, at least do it reasonably. $ 1.50 is beyond ridiculous.
At this point I’m hoping for their sake the phở is good because that alone was enough for me to never return, but it wasn’t, it was terrible. Definitely the worst phở I have ever had. The beef slices already placed into my soup container and were very fatty. I couldn’t even eat them. The soup broth was just «meh» in flavor and extremely greasy (as a result from the fatty beef I’m assuming). I saved some of the broth in my fridge to reheat later and it developed a hardened layer of fat on top that I had to chip and skim off.
I can’t speak for any of the other menu items and I had initially wanted to try their seafood boil as I am a huge fan of those, but I will not be going back after this experience.

Poor service. Food was poorly executed. I am not Vietnamese but I know good food phở soup. This was not. I did not see one Vietnamese person cooking in the kitchen.

Ok, not 100% disgusting, but definitely the worst Phở and spring rolls I’ve ever had. I’ve wanted to try this place since it opened, but the few times I made it as far as the parking lot and noticed the doors were wide open on 90+ degree days. I guess to some sweating like you were actually on patrol back in Nam, or flies buzzing around you like you were on lunch break in a rice patty might add to the experience of Vietnamese dining. But not me. So today I decided to give it a go, the doors were still open but it’s one of the cooler days we’ve had this year here in South Florida. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly enough Haitian guy that turned out to be the lone host, server, food runner, and bar tender on duty. I ordered the P-​1 beef combo Phở and an order of shrimp spring rolls, and a diet coke. The fountain was out of diet coke so it came in a can for $ 2, and each subsequent refill was likewise $ 2. The spring rolls came out fast, maybe a little too fast, like they were just sitting on a counter waiting to be ordered. The wrapper on them was strangely tough and they were OK as far as flavor. Could’ve used a Lil more vermicelli though. It got kinda busy between my spring rolls and phở. Three more tables came in which proved to be a handful for this lone employee. After some time, the cook (also Haitian) came out and motioned to the waiter that my phở was ready. When it arrived it did so with the usual accoutrements of basil, sprouts, parsley, lime and jalapeño slices. The soup itself was luke warm and bland. The meat combo should be called the fat combo, and the majority of the meat in it save for the meatballs were just chunks of jiggly fat. The slices of «brisket» were marbled with more fat than meat. It’s unfortunate because there really isn’t anything like this comfortably close to the house, and I think that is what the owner is playing off off. You don’t have to be great if you are your only immediate competition type of thing. There are other things on the menu, but judging by this experience I’ll never know if they are any good or not. I’d seek phở elsewhere if good phở is what you seek. Thanks for reading.

The food here is very good, better than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Especially the PHO, wow! Ingredients are fresh and plentiful, and the beef is not half meat — half fat like other area restaurants use. You need to try this place asap.

I gave it 4 stars only because of the potential. We saw an ad in the Dania Beach Press and called in for lunch today. We we the first customers and everything was very quiet. We shared a summer roll and had a chicken and veg phở. Both dishes were great. But the place needs cleaning up. They have, I think, acquired the tables and chairs from the previous restaurant; there is no atmosphere or ambience to entice us in.
But if you want good quality phở, give it a try for lunch. Delicious and reasonable.

I almost didn’t go in because as I pulled into the parking lot an odor of sewer gas or rotten eggs was very strong. I thought it must be something in the neighborhood and not expecting it to be in the restaurant but it was even stronger inside. I decided to stay because I was hungry and living nearby I wanted to check it out. A gentleman came in after me and walked out as the host was taking him to a table, a couple came in and sat in the booth behind me. they stayed. I must say the food was very good, the place seemed to be very clean but that odor almost made me gag. I do smell that odor in some areas if we’ve had a lot of rain and being close to the ocean we do have some swampy areas so I hope that’s what it was. I would like to see the restaurant be successful so if I go back I guess I’ll have to sniff first…

The review that higher than 3 stars are definitely fake. The food was really bad, and not good atmosphere either.

Drove by thinking about what to have for dinner Thought why not. Large dining area and a bar to sit at. Bar tender was friendly and made some good suggestions. Said it only opened 2 months ago. Food was really good. I liked the overall experience.

Seriously the best Phở I have ever had!
The service was really good as well. Sometimes in Hollywood and Dania it is hard to find quality food but this place is definitely one I would recommend.

Great service. Food was very delicious and reasonably priced. I would like to have more vegetarian options if possible like vegetarian Phở and veggie dishes. Overall food was great! Smells like incense which I would recommend changing the smell if possible.

Really great find in Dania Beach for authentic Vietnamese food including Phở. We are from Canada and in search of great Vietnamese food in Florida for years. We had the egg rolls as the appetizer, which was 4 pieces and great size to share. For main course we had the beef phở and jasmin rice plate with beef and egg. Everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Had vermicelli bowls and some spring rolls. We have eaten A LOT of Vietnamese food over the years and this was good. The spring rolls (from Canada — we’ve always known them as salad rolls) were tasty — very typical of what we have had elsewhere so not sure what earlier complaints were about. The «egg rolls» (which we know as spring rolls or imperial rolls) were very nice as well. The owner and staff were very friendly. Will go back for the Phở. Bit of an odd combo with the Vietnamese menu, seafood menu and the bar but for some good Vietnamese food, it certainly fit the bill.

The Phở was fair. The spring rolls tasted odd, we ordered them without beef. I thought that was an odd pairing, as pork is the norm.
Side note… smelled like moth balls in there and they were burning a Carmel candle. The whole experience was weird.
Go to a true Vietnamese place if that is what you want.
Threw my smell and taste buds off.

Great Phở, good service, nice people. Glad to have another ethnic choice in Dania Beach!

never believe the 1^st review 5stars and only 1 review.
Hours listed are 11 to 11 get there 2:45 they open at 3 no problem. Start with the spring rolls not shrimp or but beef and shrimp the flavors kinda fought each other.
tried to order the Combo Special an hour wait for the rice. tried to order vermicelli no only potatoes passed on that one. Did not get very good description of platters so went with the Phở. No picking your meats but a combo of 3 meats. it was ok nothing great and had to spit out 2 globs of fat not attached to any meat. One person ordered the chicken and shrimp chicken had no flavor broth much more bland!
On the way out I found out that the rest of the food isn’t Vietnamese but all the boils are basically old bay and a couple of other spices. Did not try the Fried fish (the people with me) so 3 bowls of Phở nothing else to eat for a late lunch

New Vietnamese seafood place. Has full bar. get ala carte or low country broil at the spice level you want. All with an Asian spice garlic sauce. Fired fish was also excellent and not oily.
