Pho Anni draws broad praise for flavorful pho, generous portions, and solid value, with many notes about a well balanced broth, tasty spring rolls and shrimp tempura, and satisfying banh mi. The space is described as clean, cozy, and welcoming, with friendly, attentive service, and lunch specials are often highlighted as especially affordable. Several reviews call it one of the better pho spots in the city and a comforting choice for a cold night or a hearty meal. Some critiques mention broth that can be bland or noodles that can be overcooked, occasional slow service or inconsistency, and a desire for brighter accoutrements like lime or extra sauce on the table. Overall the place is seen as reliable, family run, with a warm atmosphere and dependable pho and sides, making it a go to option for Vietnamese cuisine.
The portions are hefty & the prices are fair. But the service was so slow, maybe because they were short staffed, who knows. The food was so oily too, the pho had a layer of oil on the top & lacked flavor. The vermicelli was oozing in oil & the lemongrass in the chicken was so roughly cut that it was scratching my throat, so they gave alot of protein.
The bun bo hue was fire (spicy & good portion), the Pho Annie was massive/flavorful for a large, the coffee was decent but more on the sweeter side & about the bolalot hmmmmm not to my liking (I had high expectation on that dishe). I gave 2 stars for the service because of the wait time (I had to turn around multiple times to get his attention for the order, ice coffee was served near the end of the lunch...he probably forgot & had no water until the end....I was dying because of the bun bo hue). Overall was good, I'll definitely comeback & hopefully service will be more efficient
Pho Anni was good, though not the best broth I've had. It was still enjoyable but lacked a bit of depth. They're very generous with their meat portions, can't complain about that at all. Service was simple & straightforward.
One of the best bowls of pho I've had in the city! Great hearty meal to have when recovering from a cold or simply to enjoy a flavourful medley of flavours. Excellent service as well :)

Quite frankly nothing that hits like a good bowl of pho on a freezing cold night & this ruled. There was a guy there with a crazy twirly moustache too which doesn't have much to do with the restaurant but it enhanced my experience. Might be worth hiring a guy with a crazy moustache to entertain customers in the future.
