Pho District 1

I had such a wonderful dining experience here. The food was absolutely delicious and hit the spot perfectly. I was especially impressed by the fresh ingredients served on the side, like the crisp bean sprouts and bright lime wedges. Everything arrived at the table looking vibrant and fresh, and the broth was seasoned just right. It is easily one of my favorite spots in Lubbock now. I cannot wait to come back for another bowl.

Came in expecting a decent pho spot, but the portions were honestly disappointing. The bean sprout plate was almost empty, which is ridiculous considering that’s a basic side that usually comes in generous amounts with pho. What really threw me off was that I asked for extra bean sprouts, and the waiter said it would cost extra. Charging more for something that should already be included in a reasonable portion just feels cheap. The pho itself was okay, nothing special. Service wasn’t bad, but this kind of nickel-and-diming over basic toppings leaves a bad impression. Overall, not terrible, but definitely not worth coming back to unless they improve their portions and stop being so stingy with the essentials.

Not as good as it used to be. Manner included. I first recalled that the owner constantly inquired about the customer experience during the 2023-2024 period; not recently but spamming with uneven service. One more point that I want to add here is that they are saving more meat? 16+ tips for pho special with only 3 slices of beef and half flour flavour meatball with the rest full of overcooked vermicelli. But it says from flank to brisket to fat brisket, right? Rip🙁

I’ll be honest—I wasn’t expecting much, but PHO District 1 completely exceeded expectations. In what feels like a classic college town, this spot delivers seriously good Vietnamese food with bold, comforting flavors that hold their own anywhere. The pho was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying—exactly what you want on a cold day or after a long one. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with customization. Every request was met with ease, and the end result was a bowl that felt thoughtfully made, not rushed or generic. Service was friendly, the place was packed (always a good sign), and the food spoke for itself. If you’re craving legit pho and flavorful Vietnamese comfort food, this spot is absolutely worth the stop—and honestly, it’s a standout for the area.

I was greeted by the young host, and since I was dining alone, I was seated in a side section that was empty. I’ve asked if I can be seated in the main dining area, but was told that they keep that area for larger groups. It wasn’t full and I do think that a customer’s satisfaction should’ve been considered and better served, but I didn’t argue. A different young server came to take the order, and I must point out that both that interacted with me showed the least willing to be there, and do what they paid to do… pho was nice, although - as you can see in the pictures, they skimp a little on the add ons (sprouts, basil leaves). However there was a big portion of the noodles in the bowl. Not even ones I was approached to be asked if everything is ok, if I need anything, etc. seems like a nice restaurant, but service need to be better in my honest opinion.
