Having been a frequent diner at Pho Tau Bay for a few years, I always lament that it is closed on Mondays. I recently went to Pho 79 to see how it stacked up and was truly disappointed. The broth was lacking the spicy flavors of star anise and cinnamon that makes pho such a unique tasting soup, and it's color was so dark and cloudy it looked--and worse yet-- tasted like condensed soup. I always get leery when I see the condiments, or lack thereof, at a pho joint. No chili oil, no chili garlic sauce, so diluted red wine vinegar on the tables. The food is still reasonably priced, but this is not a phónatics pho joint.

I like Pho 79 on Energy Park a little bit more than this one on Nicollet. The broth here is flavorful, but not as flavorful as 79 on Energy Park. And the bowls that they serve their pho in is smaller than the bowls on E.P. It might just be a little thing, but there's just something to having your noodles and everything else submerged and drowning in a big bowl of extra broth that makes the soup taste better. The menu here does have a wider selection of dishes to choose from than the 79 on Energy Park. But that could be because Caravelle share the same restaurant as them. But either Pho 79's will do you good when you're looking for quality Vietnamese food in the Twin Cities area.

Best and freshes Pho (beef soup) in Minneapolis :) Very affordable whether you are there for lunch or dinner. Their menu has a lot of choices and the food is authentic to Vietnamese. Go here if you enjoy Vietnamese food. My Mom & Dad will not go anywhere else to eat Pho and they are huge critics of Pho because they are Vietnamese.
