Phở 616 Grand Rapids

Ordered beef pho and bahn mi via delivery app for dinner. Bahn mi portion was somewhat smaller than expected, but delicious. Beef pho portions were huge and easily could split one order between 2-3 people. Price was somewhat higher than other pho to be found in GR. I found the broth to be very aromatic and flavorful, though it did have to be heated back up to a temperature appropriate to cook the sliced beef. The separately packaged noodles, meat, veggies, and herbs were abundant. Hoisin was included, but no sriracha.

Doesn 't say anywhere I could tell but in-store that food is takeout only and served raw for you to take home and cook. They say that there are cooking instructions provided but that comes down to 'boil in the broth, don 't eat raw meat. 'No surprise it turned out nothing like the photos look or like I 've had before.

It feels like someone took at lot of time and attention to make something really beautiful. I had the chicken noodle and from the first bite it’s fresh flavors! Gorgeous basil with premium long and crisp bean sprouts. Adorable quail eggs. The homemade peanut sauce for the spring rolls is nicely balanced. Not too sweet or overly Americanized, and the right amount of tang and spice. Generous portions. Come hungry. Highly recommend!!

This place is by far the MOST AUTHENTIC pho place in GR, no in all of America. I love this hole in the wall, and sadly, the most recent time I went, they weren't serving it due to covid. BEEF, CHICKEN pho they are all very good. Bahn Mi lots of veggies, the meat(? not sure what kind, though Vietnamese Coffee sweet milky coffee with condensed milk Even my Vietnamese friends have said this is the place they themselves would go get pho. I would go here anytime, but I just really wish they would do dine in. Sometimes the waits here are sososo long, that it gets me thinking it's not worth the wait. But as soon as I take a bite, those thoughts are gone. The portions are really large, too.

I love Pho soup, but this was a complete disappointment!! I ordered the beef Pho, but no beef I just wanted the broth. The broth was sweet! Seems like they put a ton of sugar in It! I never had Pho that tasted sweet. It destroyed my expenses. Cold, rainy day I wanted a traditional Pho!
