It’s on cool days and nights like we’re having that the need for a hot steaming bowl of Pho really makes the difference. If you are not familiar, Phở, is pronounced “fuh,”. It’s usually a beef bone broth, rice noodles, sliced beef, sprouts and other things. Walk into any Vietnamese restaurant and you’ll find at least 10 different variations on the basic recipe.
So we got to wondering who has…
The Best Phở in Phresnở?
Sorry for that! We tried. Seriously. We won’t do that again.
Yelp suggests these as being the most reviewed in the area. You can extrapolate that “most reviewed” might also mean “most popular“. It’s a start but we want your opinion too!

Cecilia wrote, “Took my family so some of them could experience pho for the first time and they loved it! Their prices are so good for their portions, the food comes out fast and piping hot, and the service was great. My aunt had never tried Vietnamese food before so she was lost as to what to order, but the waitress was more than patient with her, recommending different dishes that might interest her and asking what type of food she likes.“

Careena wrote, “My sister was craving pho and we like to share our food so I wanted to find something else which gravitated me towards their Yelp. I saw the crispy pork and as a fan of pork, I knew I wanted something like that (I got the pork belly bok choy). I’m happy it came with a side of rice because not every place does that anymore. My sister got the (XL) big mama pho bowl since we were sharing. And I have to say.. we both really enjoyed our food!“

It’s a small little restaurant and is nice and cozy for those cold and wet days. The service is always great and the food comes out pretty fast. The spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce is also delicious.“

Kanlaya writes, “I ordered the veggie and tofu pho. Broth tasted amazing and the bowl was filled to the top with assorted vegetables. I love how the tofu was cut into small cubes! It made the dish look so pretty. The only problem was I can’t eat a lot so I had so much left over! Nice staff, clean restaurant.“
Pho 99
3141 E McKinley Ave Fresno, CA 93703
127 Reviews with a 4 star average.
Barbara D. says, “This is my favorite pho restaurant in Fresno. I always order the small seafood pho. I don’t understand why but whenever I order a large pho, the pho doesn’t taste as good. -weird I know. It has to be a small size for me. Trust me, it’s plenty of food. Now for the pho, their broth is really on point in which it’s not too salty or too sweet. I’ve been to so many pho joints with their broth tasting too sweet and it throws it off. For any kind of noodle places whether it’s ramen or jam pong, it’s all about the broth. If you can’t master the broth, the dish just won’t taste good. This place has the right flavor for the broth.“
