They have a location in Ironwood and their previous shop was just on the other side of the Capstan plaza.Business must be good as they have relocated to this shiny, larger space. The restaurant was packed today and there was a short line up wait list when we arrived. It moved quickly though as they have a large number of tables inside.The main dining area is an atrium so it can get quite loud with all the diners chatting away. But it feels quite spacious and the various sizes of tables can accommodate families and groups of friends.Pho 37 is special to me because it serves one of the top bowls of Pho in my opinion and my taste preferences. I love their Tuan’s Special. I don’t know who Tuan is but this bowl of Pho is spectacular. What is it? You get a poached egg along with slightly seared garlic beef. The seared beef will add a smokiness to the broth and breaking the egg releases a creaminess into your soup. You got to try it at least once.Rays Tips:10% off every MondayParking: Lots of parking in strip mall but shared with many other businesses.

It was my go-to pho restaurant and I went a few times every month. However, nowadays it seems they have jumped on the “higher prices, lower quality” bandwagon like many other places. They raised their noodle soup price by a whopping 25%, and after visiting a few days ago, the portion size seemed to be cut by 25% as well. Very disappointed by this!While their new location is more spacious and beautiful looking, some things should’ve been left alone. They have their sauces in little containers now that are inconvenient to use, and should’ve been kept as bottles. Not sure why this was changed, maybe to seem more high class or to stop customers from using more sauce? Either way, it really dampened my experience at this once beloved restaurant, especially since the taste is unchanged and still delicious. Hopefully they fix these problems to create a perfect customer experience again!

I ordered the classics, bun bo hue, Vietnamese deep fried rolls, salad rolls, pho special, vermicelli bowlwith deep fried rolls. I’m not a fan of the salad rolls but everything else was awesome. Especially the deep fried rolls.

I like spicy, so I added lots of chili oil and a little soya sauce do or a perfect, huge meal. Definitelyrecommend this very busy spot!
