Phở Charlotte - Vietnamese restaurant in Port Charlotte - 1225 Tamiami Trail A4, USA

5 stars for the food. 4 stars for the service. Very authentic, tasty, clean, and almost as good as Vietnamese food in San Jose/Nor Cal. The vermicelli and pho are our favorites. I have concerns about the waiter /owner who is sometimes friendly and sometimes not? We hope he’s happy and stay healthy to operate this gem of a restaurant.

I got the tofu fried rice and the veggie rolls and they were excellent! The peanut sauce was really good with them. The tofu was very fresh and the mung bean sprouts were very crunchy and refreshing! My friend said it was the best food he’d had in years!

So happy to have found this very welcoming restaurant. Very fresh and flavor Pho, Spring Rolls and oh so tasty grilled pork chops and rice. House special fried rice is outstanding. Very clean, fresh ingredients, homemade taste. Generous portions at very fair prices. We dine here at least twice a week!

We recently discovered this little hidden gem and will continue to come back whenever we visit this area of Florida! The pho was absolutely phenomenal and tasted very authentic. The beef in the broth was cooked very well. My husband usually hates tendons but these were braised so well that you can tell they put in the time and effort into it! He got the Pho Dac Biet that comes with everything in it and I just got the one with meatballs. We also got spring rolls, the grilled pork skewers (SO GOOD!!), and the Che Ba Mau dessert! It was all so good!!! My only complaint is that they are closed Saturday-Monday which is the majority of our trip so we don't have time to make an additional visit here this time, but we will definitely be back!!! The lack of pictures in this review is because we were so hungry and the food was so good we devoured it before even remembering to snap a photo!

Good location, close to El Jobean & US 41. Restaurant is family operated. It's clean and organized. Menu is simple, however, very authentic Vietnamese cuisine. My husband and I, we ordered a Phở Tái (rare eye round beef noodle soup) and a spicy beef and pork noodle soup. Both were very delicious, especially, the spicy beef and pork noodles. The broth was perfect taste for me, very authentic. Be careful if you can't eat too spicy, you can always request for a mild taste (less spicy), I think. My husband gave a thumb up for his Pho. He said the soup was good without too much of cinnamon, very tasty and the beef was tendered. Service was fast and friendly. The server was frequently checked for water refill. We'll definitely come back to try different dishes soon. FYI, restaurant is closed on Sunday & Monday

I don't have to drive all the way Sarasota, again .I'm so happy to find this place in Port Charlotte. Price was great , pho was delicious. Pork skewers was excellent 👍.

Visiting from out of town and I was skeptical about Vietnamese food but to my surprise, the Pho was very delicious. The wait for the food was a bit long but my craving was satisfied. I was very impressed. The broth is rich and flavorful. The server was nice and accomodating. He gave me a complimentary coffee since I asked for no onions but there was onions in my soup. No big deal but he made sure I was happy. Definitely coming back the next time I am here.

This place reminded me of a diner atmosphere. Not so much the stainless steel railcar idea but more like "the place where the locals eat". It's small and there's not a lot of "ambiance". The dining area is simple, clean and functional. Having said that, the food is outstanding! Forget the aesthetics and go for the food. (You can't eat the cliche Asian decor anyway.) The menu is clear and concise but not limiting. The food is exactly what you should expect from pho, fresh and full of flavor! The pricing was within reason and the service was on point. There did not seem to be more than one waiter working but he handled the dining area with precision. At first they did not seem very busy but before long the dining area was nearly full and their take out business seemed strong. I definitely recommend trying them out. We were there for lunch with 3 diners and were in and out in under an hour. I am not sure if their dinner menu differs from the lunch menu but I'll be finding out.
