  Stoped for a bowl of basic pho. I like pho and usually it does not disappoint. This time it was tasteless. Not a bad taste, just Ok. Definitely had it better at few other places around the town. Service was fine, prices comparable to other places.

  I’ve been to Build the Pho many times and it used to be one of my favorite places. I even recommended it to friends before. But recently the food quality has gone down a lot while the prices keep going up, which is really disappointing. First, the shrimp rolls. They used to be one of my favorite items. Two rolls used to feel very filling because they were packed with big, whole shrimp. This time the shrimp were very small and even cut in half. It honestly felt like there was barely any shrimp inside. Then the chicken wings and fried calamari. I don’t even know where they found chicken wings that small!!! They were tiny. The fried calamari was also disappointing, it felt like mostly fried batter with very little actual squid. What makes this even more disappointing is that this place used to be really good. That’s why I came back so many times and recommended it to friends. I’ve seen how good it used to be, so the drop in quality now is very noticeable. I understand that prices go up everywhere, but raising prices while lowering the food quality just doesn’t make sense. Sadly I probably won’t be coming back, and I won’t be recommending this place anymore.

  I used to like this place so much and recommended to all of my friend but the food quality has dropped a LOT!! I used to feel full for only eating two of shrimp rolls, that was how big it used to be. but now the shrimp roll is tiny and 7 dollars for two. The shrimp inside is cut in half and already very small. It barely feels like there is any shrimp. The pho is worse now too. The beef brisket is sliced extremely thin and the soup tastes weak. The fried squid used to be a good portion. Now you only get eight small pieces. Prices keep going up while the food quality keeps going down…. I don’t know why the owner decides to do this, also she admitted that she made this decision at the beginning of the semester so that new students won’t know this change. WHY DO YOU DUPE STUDENTS?? There are many better options nearby, definitely not gonna eat in the future. Service is good the waitress is super friendly.

  I stopped in to grab some pho today and I’m so glad I did. Best pho I’ve had in my life by a long shot. The broth is amazing, and I decided not to eat it for a bit, and was pleasantly surprised that they packed it in separate containers so it remained very fresh. I also got spring rolls and the basil chicken, which were also excellent. The young lady at the front was very friendly, and my to go order came out quickly. Fantastic place.
