The restaurant has been here for many years despite the name change. Food is good and authentic. Service is as expected. This is our go to spot for Vietnamese food! I always get the chicken curry with the baguette.

The beef rib pho and large combination pho are both excellent and large in portion every time I order them. The few other dishes that I've tried were great as well. Only downside is no parking lot. Quality: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Customer service: 4/5

Food is good. Our waitress is rushing you to place your order, because the place is close at 9:30 pm, not 10:30 pm. Not a bad place to eat.

It's been awhile since we last dine in. Came with family for some pho noodles before grocery shopping. Had pho noodles and vegetable summer rolls. My sister in law is vegetarian and didn't like her vegetarian pho because the quality of the veggies seems to be on the "going bad" side. Mushy tartly tomato and hard tofu (she said it tasted like it's old). It was the same small cube fried tofu in the summer roll which also tasted odd and rock hard. Other than that, everything else was good. Service was quick and they constantly refilled our teapot.

Here is my go to for classic pho and Vietnamese rice dishes in Brooklyn. For a CHEAP price and good quality. I usually go here with my bf and we both usually get pho (once in a blue moon I try a rice dish) Today I decided to order something new off the rice dish section and got the beef with peppers, onions with steamed white rice. The dish had a slight kick but very flavorful and beef was cooked just right. My boyfriend's pho came out good as always with extra meet added. Service was quick, easy and staff double checked exactly what we wanted to order. Ambiance wise is very chill especially if you have been to a classic viet spot before. Considering the warm weather not much customers were in but there is never a bad time to get hot pho and viet classics. 10/10 as always. :)

Absolutely have to update my review to give Pho Number One five stars after dining in and ordering takeout multiple times now. The pho broth is so flavorful, & wasn't watered down at all for both lunch AND dinner - a majorly positive change from when it was Pho Tay Ho! Service is quick & efficient, and to say that portions are generous is an understatement. My go to, the #1 Xe Lua, is humongous and perfect for a cold winter day. Bun bo hue here is also fragrant and delicious. Fried spring rolls come out piping hot, and I appreciate how they provide separate bowls of dipping sauce if you're dining with a friend. Takeout doesn't skimp on portion sizes or flavor either. It's safe to say - Pho Number One is my new favorite in Brooklyn!

Finally, some pho in Bensonhurst! I remember searching a bit ago and not finding many Viet options in the area. To my surprise, Pho Number One appeared when my dad and I were looking for a quick lunch one day. The service was spectacular. The lady who seems to co-run the place even suggested I take the smaller portion of the #1 in case I didn't finish. She had good intuition, as these bowl sizes were no joke! Starting with apps, I of course, gotta test the waters with something like Summer Rolls ($6.95). From the size and appearance alone, I was in high hopes. They did not disappoint with its juicy shrimp. The rice paper was thicker than some places, which was great in encompassing the ingredients into one bite. How considerate and sanitary that they gave a peanut dip for each roll! The Xe Lua ($13.95), aka the #1, was ginormous, courtesy of the bowl it was placed in. I loved the presentation compared to bowls from other Viet places. Every beef ingredient is laid out, and some meat was red, so you know it was literally just served up. If you want a smaller bowl, the Dac Biet ($12.95) was the same option, just smaller. The broth was well flavored, and up there with every delicious pho place I went to. Their beef briskets, tendons, eye of round, etc. were also huge pieces. I normally don't notice the rice noodles in my pho, but I can really taste the texture and taste of them here. Amazing fast service, with just as delicious food. Bensonhurst is in luck with a delicious Viet fix back in town!
