Pho Ha Linh

I tried Pho Ha Linh for the first time and ordered their most popular combo soup with everything in it. The service was quick and not pushy or overbearing, interior was stylish, and the noodle soup was fantastic. It was extremely flavorful. Not the kind that is overbearing with sauces, but the natural and fresh type of flavor. It was also less expensive than many of the hole-in-the-wall places ive seen. Would highly recommend to anyone!

The pho was delicious, but associates were not very attentive and it was extremely cold in the restaurant (everybody including workers kept our jackets on). Luckily I ordered a warm soup, but I would have felt uncomfortable with the temperature otherwise. Food was awesome though!

For the location and quality of food compared to NYC, it gets 4 stars. I ordered the Pho Ha Linh. They give you lots of ingredients, mainly meat related and the noodles were tasty. I did think the broth was decent. Could use more meat flavor in it. The broth is not as good as places in NYC or CA but for this location, I bet it's one of the better places. The "rooster" sauce was a little watered down but that's expected of all these types of restaurants. The bean sprouts and lime were fresh. Service was good considering there's only one person servicing the entire restaurant and I believe his wife was just doing the checks. The waiter was very attentive to everyone's needs. We had also ordered thai tea but it was different from what we were used to. It's probably just a different way of making it when comparing vietnamese and thai people. At this location, they made it more of like a vanilla smoothie with little to no taste of tea. I'm used to heavy tea flavoring with sweetened milk. I really couldn't get over my pre-conception of what thai tea should taste like but I won't fault them for their own interpretation. We had mentioned to the waiter about the tea and he just brought us another one but added more powder to it. It was a nice gesture by him because I don't expect service like this in an Asian restaurant. However, I'm going to try thai tea more often now and see how people interpret this drink to see if anyone else makes it like them. Food was excellent, no complaints. I did think that the food took awhile to make but that's probably because they don't have it in a "pre-made" way like other restaurants do. The turn over rate is probably not that high. In any case, I would come here again and would recommend this place.

Friendly customer service. Food was good and they give you big portions. Definitely a great dining experience! I would recommend it if you're in the mood for exotic Asian food.

This is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Gainesville area. The Pho has one of the best broths I have ever tasted!
