I first visited Pho Thien Phat for their durian smoothies, made fresh with real durian--such a rare find and a huge plus when ordering online! But I quickly discovered that their pho is the real star; the broth is incredibly smooth and packed with flavor, and the portions are very generous. The service is also warm and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I brought some out-of-town friends, and they were just as impressed, amazed that we have such an authentic pho spot here in the Triangle. Truly a hidden gem!

This place is always busy! I have come twice so far. I really like the pho here. Not as good as pho far east but still good. I ordered pho and a side of rice. The beef rib pho is also good too. The place is well kept and all the wait staff make sure you are ok and taken care of which is nice. I came here because this is convenient to my home and needed soup from my upset stomach. Worth a visit if you're craving pho.

Grabbed lunch here with friends. The bone marrow is highly recommend - for just $8.5, it was two large pieces with tendons. The pho soup was good as well; portion was bigger than expected.

Best pho I've had in the area so far. Better than Midtown and Taste Vietnamese. Going to be our go to pho place from now on

Great service, great pho, quick and nice atmosphere. Adults are allowed to order kids portion which is perfect.

Very good! Spring roll was alright, peanut sauce was good. I got the pho #5 and the meat was very good! Service was good, people were nice. The place itself was nice and clean. Will definitely make the drive out for the pho again! 4.5 star because all we tried was the spring roll and pho but I do want to try other dishes next time!

Maybe the most authentic pho spot I've tried so far in the triangle! Standalone restaurant with easy parking. Service was fast, efficient, and food came out relatively quickly. The restaurant itself is pretty no frills, which is a good sign their focus is on the food. I was impressed by the flavors of the pho. I've been to a few Vietnamese places in the triangle and this pho broth by far felt the most complex. The broth is extremely rich and flavorful with almost a nutty taste. They also have a good variety of meat options that's not available at other places. I also got the pork rice plate which was so rich in lemongrass flavor. I would definitely recommend adding a side of fresh fried runny eggs for an extra crunch and savory bite!

We've been trying to find a good pho spot in the Triangle since my favorite one in Chapel Hill closed. That ever seemingly elusive search for a pho on par with that closed chapel hill spot has finally ended! My wife and I had an early dinner on a Saturday. There was plenty of parking spots and it wasn't packed. We both ordered a large pho. Ambiance: 4/5 Nothing fancy, plenty of seating Service: 4.5/5 Service was quick, friendly and food came out quickly. Food 5/5: When we both took one sip of that broth, we knew we had finally found the pho spot! The broth was deep in flavor and perfectly seasoned- not slightly watery like many pho spots. Price: 5/5 The pho was inexpensive overall- slightly under $15 for a large bowl. We will definitely be back even though we will have to drive 40 minutes to come.

Bún bò Huế: lots of meat + hock, they give shredded banana leaf!!! That is the biggest pro because almost no where does that. Broth could be more flavorful in spices as he felt it was maybe too meaty in flavor and not enough spices. Not the best that we've tried in the area. Pho tai + bo vein: really good broth. But the steak pieces and beef meatballs were so so. I didn't take a picture because the bowl looked really empty since they give you so much soup but so little food pieces. But the plus side is that we took home the remaining soup and had a second pho with home noodles! They could also give more herbs because we only got 6 basil leaves total, but understandable as I imagine not everyone uses these and they don't want it to go to waste. We also got their chrysanthemum tea which was okay, it was not too sweet, and salted plum limeade which was okay. It didn't have the strong salted plum flavor that is characteristic of the drink and was rather meh. I would skip these two unless their batch of salted plum needs more time to ferment or something.
