2023-11-20 00:23:12Pho & pad Thai are amazing.Weve travel the country and never found anything that comes close it.The veggie spring rolls are also very tasty.Cons: they seem to get new waiters often and dont last. The owners often has to step up.

2022-10-31 03:05:35DONT EAT HERE‼If I can give this place ZERO stars, I would. Im from Fresno, and they have many pho restaurants there, ive also worked as a waitress as a pho restaurant. So I would consider myself pretty experienced in this field. First of all when my husband and I walked in, a male server looked at us and walk away. My husband and I stood by the door for about 10 minutes, when the male server showed us where to sit, he made us go grab the food menu. when the male server asked us if we were ready to order, he didnt bother coming to our table and expected us to yell our order across another table. we spoke low so that hell come to us, which he did. we ordered our food which was 2 thai teas, pho#2, a seafood pho, and gyoza. They serve us our thai teas, mine tasted kind of off and my husbands tasted really good. Our pho came next and the broth was different from any pho broth. it was really sour. the only ingredients that were on our table was soysauce, sriracha, chilli oil and garlic sriracha. When they served us our pho, the noodles were WAY too overcooked! i would pick up the noodles and they would break! Same with my husband. After eating our pho for a few minutes, our gyoza came and i automatically knew that they were costco gyoza. and they also served it with straight soysauce, not even diluted soysauce. i didnt bother eating the gyoza but my husband ate 2 and did not enjoy it. I didnt finish my pho because i didnt like the food and was unsettling to my stomach. My husband was almost finished with his food until... he found a PLASTIC WRAPPER in his soup! I took a picture of it and we told this really nice latina waitress and she said omg let me go take it to the back so she and did and you wont believe it, but they gave us the same bowl and took out the plastic and said that it was okay because it was a crab wrapper. My husband argued that it shouldnt have been there in the first place and suggested that they should do something about it. The male server came out and said that they couldnt do anything about it. I wouldnt mind paying for it but the fact that they said the couldnt do anything about it? that is a CHOKING HAZARD! the least they couldve done was apologize which they didnt!! my husbands soup shouldve been free at that point. anyways he left first because he was getting very angry and i stayed to pay for the food. i hope the health department comes to this place soon since its noted that they have MULTIPLE HEALTH VIOLATIONS here!!

2023-11-11 03:04:23This is my 4th visit at this location, 2nd time ordering to go, and twice I dined in. I prefer dine in, but when in a hurry, I appreciate ordering it to go. Pho is one of my favorite soups, so good, especially on a cold or rainy day. I am a vegetarian; I always order the same menu items. Veggie Pho it is #12 on their menu under the different types of Pho. And the I get an order of their vegetarian fresh/raw spring rolls. I suggest any other vegetarians to also try Pho 88. I simply tell them when ordering to not use any fish sauce, as the food is made fresh at ordering. The service was also friendly, professional, relaxed, and prompt.

2022-11-09 21:28:32The ambiance was kind of like a sports bar with beer signs and souju bottles as decoration. It smelled overwhelmingly like body order but was probably onions etc. And the servers were in street clothes.Each bowl was about $15 (big bowls)It took about 35 minutes for my two bowls of takeout and the restaurant was not full. I could also hear other customers complaining about the wait.The pho was okNot worth the waitWould not dine in

2018-02-19 06:52:41We passed Bakersfield and found this place by accident along the way of our road trip. It turned out a pretty good place. Pho is served in stylish bow and tastes great. Interior has a nice sense of style and decor, not like a typical Vietnamese restaurant. Wait staff was nice. I would recommend.

2023-10-11 00:40:54I got a beef pho two days in a row. Both times I asked for hoisin sauce. Both times they decided I would not have hoisin sauce with my meal. Due to this, I am unable to recommend. Due to being born on the wrong continent for this cuisine, I am being punished because I do not have the needed condiments on hand to enjoy this meal. We are not all so fortunate to have these condiments on hand, the world would be a happier, healthier, more inviting and forgiving place for everyone if we all just had access to these condiments; however, we do not. This is just a reality and injustice we all face, this is not taken into consideration when you order from Pho 88. Be warned!!!!!!!!

2021-09-15 02:43:30Pho88 is one of my favorite places for Pho! Their Shrimp spring rolls are so good!! Service can sometimes be a little slow but I think like in many places, theyre finding it hard to hire people so you cant hold it against, they do a great job at keeping their patrons happy and its worth the wait!

2023-07-23 21:38:26This place is in a quiet area and kind of hidden. I tried this place because it was recommended to me for pho in Bakersfield. 3/10 pho was okay. The chicken tasted old and reheated the pho was pretty basic and didn’t have much of an authentic long boiled pho taste like it should’ve been.
