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!

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!
This is one of the many times I have had a pleasant experience that I decided to write a review this time around. Thank you Simply Pho staff for your wonderful service and attentiveness to our table. The food is fresh and savory.
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 one of my most favorite Vietnamese restaurants in town! I love the quality and freshness of every item on their menu. My ultimate favorite are the fried egg rolls with a side of fresh lettuce! Yum!!! Oh yeah and love the wonderful service.
Thought I tried something different so I got the seafood combination pho, did not disappoint me at all.
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!
