Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Try original Pho ba was an incredible experience. The bread was fabulous to increase the experience. Thanks, Vietnam for this incredible soup.

Horrible service and rude employees. Would not recommend, there are plenty of other great Pho places around. Tungs kitchen is a personal favorite of ours.

Wish I could review the food, however, they turned my family and me away when three of us went there. We ordered one pho soup and 3 beers and they refused to serve us. I, the pho lover, wanted soup on our food tour, while...the others wanted bahn my. I was so excited to try it as apparently this is the best in town. But their cavalier attitude towards tourists was horrifying. Don’t recommend if you want a friendly, welcoming environmentMore

We ate Pho for dinner the previous night and came back for breakfast today. Enjoying very much. Cold whether and a hot bowl. The taste is very good. One person puts the noodle into the bowl. One person puts the meat into the bowl and...takes the payment. One person pours the soup into the bowl. One person cuts the meat. They all work very fast and skillful and they smile. We bring the Pho to our table ourselves. Very impressed by experiencing this style of self served Pho.More

The beef noodles were exceptional. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the meat cooked to exact consistency. Service was quick and the place was very clean.

Visited May 2019. Touted as having the best pho bo in Hanoi (and therefore, by extension, the world) Gia Truyen is a no-frills eatery with plenty of character where people go to eat pho. And they (quickly) delivered pho bo with a generous portion of...thin, tender beef.More

This restaurant has been identified as the best pho in Hanoi, couldn’t wait to try as I have become quite a connoisseur over the last month of travels in Vietnam. Unfortunately this restaurant has ceased to operate.

This was highly recommended by the hotel staff, so we tried it out. The line was long, but we were able to get a table at an adjoining restaurant that also served bowls from Pho Gia. The chicken pho was a bit bland, but their...beef pho was flavorful. Might be best to have the beef instead if you plan to eat here. Very affordable too!More

I am writing this after travelling around Vietnam for nearly a month, and hand on the heart, this was the best (and cheapest) Pho we had during our trip - and we tasted more than we could count. The queue outside the small shop alone...was telling of the popularity of the place. Highly recommended if you are travelling to Hanoi!!More

First the good. The pho was the best we’ve had in Vietnam and we’ve been around the country. It was very cheap at 60K VD per bowl. If you are a pho fan then you have to visit this place. Now the downside. They don’t...speak English though there were plenty of customers that do, thankfully. We came in a grabbed a seat and waited to have our order taken to finally find out from a Malaysian family that you have to go order, pay, and get your own food. ??? There’s nothing in English that tells you this. Regardless of the lack of signage we recommend this pho restaurant above any others!!More

Quite crowded and busy but if you are patient everything will be ok. The soup tastes so good and noodles are very fresh. One of famous phở soup restaurants from the old time.

I'm not a fan of noodle soups, but this is different. The broth is tasty and the plentiful meat tender. Twice the price I usually pay for pho, but twice as good too. Try to avoid peak times, the queue can be long and seating...limited, but turnover is quick.More
