What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Pho House is celebrated for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine, with many praising the flavorful pho broths, generous portions, and unique appetizers like taro fries. The service is frequently described as exceptional and friendly, and the warm, relaxed atmosphere is a definite plus. However, a serious concern about cleanliness was noted in one review, and some find the boba a bit overpriced.
"Listen, if you haven’t gone to the best spot in the entire area, maybe this will help you make good choices in life! The peanut explosion sandwich is off the chain! The chicken is in Pho House special peanut sauce with Arkansas Honey, so juicy and tender, and a flavor explosion! Topped with pickled veg and julienne basil, it is another winner! Lewis Phan is not playing about the perfect bread, but per usual, The Pho House team goes big and flawlessly toasts the bread! Also pictured are our favorite Vermicelli noodle dishes, the combination pork & shrimp and the tofu stir-fry. The staff is exceptional, the relaxing and casual atmosphere with wonderful touches of culture, and the ample portions of consistently fresh scrumptious food make The Pho House my top 5 (it is really number 1) in Hot Springs and within 200 miles! I dare you to try it!"

"In the cold weather, enjoying a special hot bowl of pho here is truly a happiness. Additionally, I ordered the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli and crispy egg rolls - all flavors were very delicious. The space with warm tones, gentle lighting, and spacious seating areas is suitable for both groups of friends and families."

"Highly recommend. Good amount of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered Veg Pho and veg angel hair bowl and both of them hit home.
Boba was great but was a little overpriced."
