This place is one of the best Vietnamese places in the area and there are a few good ones in Tampa. The Pho, Hu Tieu and Bun Bo Hue are really good. I highly recommend them because of their friendly staff.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! The best pho in the city BY FAR, the kobe beef pho actually made me cry a few tears of joy. Ask for Ann, she is the most friendly, courteous, just great all-around person, she'll make sure you have a wonderful dining experience. There are very few restaurants I'd fight a bear for the opportunity to eat at but this is definitely one of them. Have some pho!

Everything about this place is amazing! Great service that was sincere and friendly, wonderful background holiday music, & delicious food. I really liked how fresh everything tasted and their attention to detail with garnishes. I was taking someone with me there for their bday and couldn't have been happier�

Came in during a rainy day, left with sunshine in my stomach. There's absolutely nothing wrong to say about this place. Once the Pho came out freshly hot I was in heaven. All I can say this place a diamond.

Love this place. They are so efficient, as soon as you walk through the door you are greeted and immediately seated. The waiters are so attentive and they work together to make sure you are taken care of. Their service is only surpassed by their food. The pho special, the oxtail pho and the special fried rice are amazing. Great place with a great atmosphere where you can enjoy even greater food.

This is one of our favorite Asian restaurants. Generous portion, quality of food is consistent. My 3 year old has been here ever since it was open. It's her one and only favorite restaurant :)

Not a better place to eat Vietnamese in town. I've tried a few. None fresher and tastier than these guys. I try something new nearly every time and continue to find new favorites. Try it. Love it.

My wife and I went to Simply Pho for lunch. My wife ordered the Pho that gives you three protein choices. She chose Eye Round, Flank Steak and Tripe. I ordered the Stir Fried Noodles with a choice of a protein. I was given noodle choices and opted for pan fried rice noodles (a $1.50 upcharge). I also chose Beef as my protein. My wife knows soup and knows Pho very well. She considered the soup flavor to be wonderful. The proteins were very tasty, though the tripe was sliced smaller than one would prefer. (This is the second time my wife ate here and noticed that.) Overall, the Pho was excellent. The Stir Fried Noodles, pan fried as I requested, were appropriately crispy but also softened well when I spooned the (ample) brown sauce on it. The vegetables were fresh and the beef was a good size and well- cooked and seasoned. This dish exceeded my expectations. The service was very good, balancing responsiveness with respect for privacy. The atmosphere is clean, contemporary and stylish, with instrumental music playing in the background. I will return again to Simply Pho and happily recommend it to anyone seeking Pho and/or Noodle/Rice-based fare.

Simply Pho is Simply Amazing! I’ve been here countless times with only 2 bad experiences. 1. The noodles in our Pho were over cooked. Grabbing them with the chopsticks made them disintegrate into the soup. 2. After waiting for 10+Min we finally got the attention of our waiter. She apologized for being understaffed (this was the busiest Id ever seen them, with only 2 waiters). The food was great, & so was service but we sat there for a while before she even spoke to us. I always get some type of “Pho”, and it’s always excellent. I will never go to another place! I do not suggest the “Crab Rangoons” though, they are nothing compared to Samurai Blue, or most restaurants…Every time I go they are always out of the “Vietnamese Banana Cake” so I settle for the “Mango Sticky Rice”, it’s good! “Gyoza” is good too. Looking to try a new drink? I 100% recommend “Thai Tea”! This place is a must try! Added photos of the menu as I couldn’t find them online :)

I got take-out with a friend here because it was close and convenient. I had tried this place before, and their pho was okay. I definitely had better. I gave this place a second chance because I had a coupon in the mail (I know). I ordered pork rice noodles. In case people don't know, there are different kinds of rice noodles. What I thought I ordered and what I got were completely different. To my pleasant surprise, the rice noodles were the "Ho Fen" kind. These noodles were fresh, soft, bouncy, flavorful, and delicious. I would recommend it to anyone and will personally order again. I think it could have more vegetables to balance the noodles though.

The restaurant is nice, clean and the staff are very nice. I ordered the chicken vermicelli for $11.95. The meal was delicious! The chicken marinade was very good, all the veggies were very crisp and fresh. And of course the fish sauce that ties it all together was on point. For the price the meal was great. Happy I ate here!

Amazing food, incredible service. I had the signature vegetable pho with beef broth. It was the best pho I've ever had. My husband got the combo vermicelli and lotus root salad (which is huge btw). Nice and quiet. I hate when it's so noisy I have to yell to hear my husband sitting next to me.

Great food at a very reasonable price. I love pho, but am not a fan of tripe. Simply Pho has a combo where you can pick 3 proteins and leave out the tripe! Lucy was my server and she was amazingly attentive. The whole place was meticulously clean. I just wish they were closer to my house, I would eat there all the time.

This is our first time visiting here and we love the food especially how close the location is from our place! The waitress was super friendly and food was brought out within 10 minutes. The space is a bit small so you might have a short wait during the weekends but we were able to get a table right away during the weekdays. We loved the pork chop and the pho as well as the Bo bun hue. The foods are super fresh and they are great especially on a cold day! We will definitely be visiting more often!

This is my brother's favorite Pho spot in Tampa. I've only been here a couple times and I wasn't that impresssed the first time ordering some fried rice, but this second time I ordered a vegetable broth Pho and it was okay. I thought there would be vegetables in it, but it was just a lot of noodles. I would definitely tell them to keep more broth in there next time and maybe add whatever vegetables they can to it. (Update: I asked for the veggies and they put A LOT in the bowl). My brother's beef Pho was great, according to him. Their edamame dumplings and veggie rice spring rolls are good. It's a popular spot and I would recommend coming here. Seating isn't too big inside but there's usually not a wait.

I visited this spot on a Tuesday a little before 7 PM. It was not busy at all and I was seated immediately. I did, however, end up waiting about 10 minutes before I was served, which I thought was unusual. I ordered the oxtail pho and the pork egg rolls. The oxtail pho was delicious. The noodles were very rich and thick but felt so soft and warm when you took a bite. The oxtail was not super tender but the flavor from the marrow was so succulent (if you're a fan, of course). This combined with the other ingredients made the broth so inviting. There was also a bit of sweetness to the broth that I really enjoyed but it had the perfect amount of flavor. On another occasion I ordered the filet mingon pho and their ribs along with pot stickers. All amazing except the ribs were a little overcooked in my opinion. Update: I visited again on 01/19/2022 and had their braised duck noodle soup. If you are a fan of duck you have to try this dish! If you have never had duck you have to try this dish! The duck was so tender and fell off the bone so nicely. Super rich and delicious. I hope they consider making a duck pho in the future.

Food came out very quickly, service is good. Vegan Pho is great! Little bit lack of flavor but it’s probably because that it’s vegan without fish sauce...

I got invited to Simply Pho today by staff to check them out. The filet mignon pho was great and flavorful, especially when you combine it with the siracha and hoisin sauce. I also had the chef’s special, the Mahi Mahi with broken rice. Everything tasted great. The service was also good. My cup of water did not stay empty long. Great job 👍🏽👌@simplyphotampa
