  Pho Real is a nice, quaint Pho (Vietnamese comfort soup) place. Easily the best restaurant in the Briggs Chaney plaza. Interior is simple and resembles many hole- in- the- wall Asian spots. Everything they have to offer from spring rolls, to summer rolls, to bubble tea smoothies, to pho is just awesome! They have a good amount of seating and a few tables that can accommodate large parties but also small tables if you are just dining for one or two.
  I've brought a lot of my friends to this spot as their first place to try pho and it's given a lasting impression to them! I order the veggie pho because I no longer eat meat. However my family recommends the beef pho broth over the chicken broth if you want a more traditional meat pho. The best smoothie they have there is the Vietnamese coffee bubble tea smoothie (it's strong but sweet!) but if you are not into coffee, then the strawberry bubble smoothie is the next best.
  I think if they remodeled their interior it would be more aesthetically pleasing (not pink walls) and would definitely bring in more customers but overall it's very clean and the staff (family) are extremely attentive, pleasant, and homey. Even the last time I went there the lady owner was going the extra mile to communicate with a customer in Spanish (she's already bilingual in English/ Vietnamese I'm sure).

  We stop by this spot craving a nice yummy vermicelli bowl. Unfortunately, this place does not serve this. To my surprise it only serves Pho. I admit I was very disappointed. However I did enjoy the Pho. With that said, I wouldn't mind coming back but only if everyone wants strictly Pho.
  
  We all got the #10. It was very delicious; hence the five star rating. The bowl in my photos is a small. The large was a few inches bigger. The broth was excellent, the steak was soft and the noodles were perfect. It came out quickly. The service was good and they kept our cups topped with water. I noticed they had a few regulars due to the fact the cane in telling them what number they wanted. The staff seemed to recognize them which is a huge plus in my book. We will definitely come back.

  I'm new to the area. Thought I'd try this place out since it's down the street from my crib. Their Pho is so good! Definitely coming back I'm from Cali so I know good pho.
  Their iced coffee and mango smoothie is soooo bomb! And their goi cuon has the best best peanut sauce.
  Service was great! Especially that hella cute strong guy behind the bar. He's a catch! If you're reading I hope you're single ;). This place deserves 4 stars but that guy is the +1 on why I'll be coming back!

  I'm kinda new to the whole pho craze! My friends would always mention how much they love pho and I was like yeah whatever that is. I'm not into soup so clearly pho was not something I cared to try. I've had it a few times now and I can say I'm now a fan.
  
  I was feeling a bit under the weather one day last week and figured pho would help.  Even though it was lunch time and it was packed, service was super quick. I ordered a large #12 in beef broth to go.  It was very good and it helped me feel better.
  
  I would definitely come back here and maybe try something else (just to see what else I might enjoy).

  An all around good trip here for a quick lunch.  Service was very good throughout and the food was excellent.  Not much decor inside but I don't think it's needed, they get you in and out with a full stomach.  All I needed to see was a few tables of Vietnamese folks to know the food would be good.
  
  I went with the shrimp summer rolls to start and they were very tasty (as was the peanut sauce).  I had a Vietnamese iced coffee to drink which was good and strong, per usual.  I had the "small" bowl of their #1 Pho dish which is a mixture of meat including tripe, etc.  I thought the meat, veggies, and broth were all very good and I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.
