I have never had Vietnamese food before. Â I hasd noodle salad with chicken. Â It was the best salad I have ever had. Â Made me want the recipe so that I could attempt it at home. Â The hostess was awesome, and explained everything. Â She brought us a sample of the "bubbles" they were great. Â Would definately go alot if we had one here in Columbus Ohio. Â Hope it is still there next year, as it will be the first place I go when getting into Cape Coral. Â Thanks to the waitress that was great to us.

Yum! Â I have been used to dining at a Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Orlando and crave their "garden rolls" so much, that I will call an order in when I drive through the city to pick them up and eat them in the car ride on my way out of town. Â I now have found a comparable "roll" so I no longer have to obsess about my next trip to Orlando! Â The ingredients are super fresh and great quality. Â If you can't taste that, just take a look in the back room. Â The boxes of "JIF" peanut butter tell you that they don't even skimp on the ingredients for their sauces. Â Again I say, YUM!
Review Source:I tried the Pho for the first time and it was delish. I have nothing to compare it to, but will definitely be going back. I got the chicken spring rolls and was slightly disappointed, they were wrapped in a translucent rice paper that was soft, not crispy, the peanut sauce was yummy, but there wasn't really much flavor to the actual spring roll itself. A friend got the braised pork and that had a really good flavor to it. Next time I go, I'll be trying the stir fry. Overall, I was pleased with the food and cleanliness of the restaurant.
Review Source:MY MY except for the lacking of early opening of 8am & the hordes of asian old men slurping up the soup. I thought I was in the San Francisco Bay area again. The soup and spring rolls are wonderful. Full of nutrients and flavor. Lacking in high calories buts still puts a smile on the face and a warmth in the belly. People are great it is clean and service is quick.
You can have it mild or wild. Me I like mine, the way I like my women Hot & Spicy!!!!
So if the need for filling meal and good for you give this place a try.
On recent visits I've shared this special place with friends and they were amazed at the quality of the meals --- food they'd never heard of or tasted before! Â They'll be back and so will I. Â Â
Try them --- you'll be delighted AND full.
Excellent restaurant! Â Excellent service!! Â Low prices.
Are you kidding me? It was a Saturday and I was on my way to do the regular soup, salad, and breadsticks at OG. I passed Pho Vinh and remembered I always wanted to try it.
I walked in and told the hostess that I had no idea what to order. She not only explained everything but the food was outstanding. Talk about flavor...Oh my goodness. This place is like a symphony to your mouth. Try it. You'll love it!
Very good. I love Vietnamese food. Its really clean, nice quality, and tasty here. I do wish they had more selections though. This would prevent me from ordering from them very often because I like to try new foods and it's like you get this or that and that's it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. These shitty Chinese places should take note.
First let me first  preface my opinion on having been to Pho Vinh more than once and having lived in the two cities in the US with the biggest  Vietnamese communities and having spent time in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. The Pho served at Pho Vinh is ok, but the broth for their Pho is nothing like the real thing. It was missing the depth, complexity  and aromas of  a real authentic  Pho broth, with the essences of clove, cinnamon, coriander, star anise and ginger missing. Perhaps they modified their broth  for the palettes of their cliental. They also offer some untraditional add on vegetable toppings. With that said, the portion was a nice size, served with plenty of rare beef and thinly slice white onion and scallions, along with a side plate of garnishes of bean sprouts, sliced jalapeño, Thai Basil, and a lime wedges. On this visit,  I also had a delicious braised pork spring roll, filled with braised pork, fresh leaf lettuce, carrots, and rice noodles, served with a thick peanut sauce.  With SW Florida lacking Vietnamese restaurants a would recommend giving Pho Vinh a try especially if you have not experience a bowl of Pho.
Review Source:Found this place as nearby while visiting our new home in Cape Coral, FL. Â Had one large order of pho, one basil stiry-fry and an order of the shrimp spring rolls that a lot of Yelpers had suggested. Â Very nice folks, quick service and good food. Â We grabbed a take-out menu and will be stopping in and ordering takeout when we make the move later this year. Â Thanks for the tips, everyone!
Review Source:Great soup! Great service and so nice too. Thank you for this nice introduction to Pho. Yes, it was my first time. I had heard so much about it. I was in Publics shopping in the Asian section for contents to a recipe and spoke to another customer who recommended Pho Vinh.
I took my Mom who is 82 and very active and loves healthy eating and her new husband who does not.
Mom and I loved it!
The only reason I did not give it a five star is that they badly need to mop the floor. It was sticky and dirty. Mom complimented them on clean bathrooms!
We also tried the chicken spring rolls, not enough chicken or other veggies besides cabbage, but the peanut sauce was very nice.
Wonderful Jasmine sweet tea!
Absolutely fantastic. If you are new to the area, try this place out.
You will not be disappointed!
I eat here frequently. Some of my favorites are the Beef Pho, Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls, and the Braised Pork.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cafe style, but it looks like they are expanding and remodeling the dining room. Staff is always friendly and very accommodating to the Vietnamese cuisine newcomers. If you are unsure of what to get, just ask them!
Having recently moved from California where they have all kinds of ethnic goodness, I was afraid that my days of having good Pho were behind me. Â Especially when I saw that there was only one Pho place in Cape Coral.
My fears were completely unwarranted. Â This place is amazing, and almost on par with what we had out in California. Â The soup broth is just as salty, tasty, and delicious as any that we had in California. Â The menu here is a little more on the safe side, meaning that you won't be getting any tendon or tripe in your soup (not that I did that anyway, but my boyfriend is a fan). Â You can also get add-in veggies that I've never had in a pho place before. Â Cabbage, mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini, to name a few. Â We actually got a chance to visit with the owner while we were there our first time, and he said that they had to tame down the menu a bit to appeal a bit more to the clientele...meaning, the retired sect of white America...not his words, mine. Â I love having the beef pho with mushrooms, and that's what I get every time. Â If the mushrooms are allowed to sit in the broth long enough, they get nice and soft and very flavorful. Â
We've had the spring rolls and the egg rolls and they're all right...nothing too fabulous. Â I like the spring rolls better than the egg rolls. Â Other than that, I haven't had anything else here. Â They have salads and stir fries, but the pho is so good that I just don't feel the need to try anything else. Â
I really like that with each visit to this place, we've always seen the manager, and he always makes a point to stop at every table to visit for a bit. Â It's such a nice gesture and I really appreciate it.
Yelping for a good place to eat today and chose Pho Vinh.
What a great choice it was! The interior is a little cafe-ish, but it was clean and bright.
Most menu items were under $10, and even for that, there's a lot of food!
I had the braised pork, which our waitress recommended as being her favorie. You know how most braised pork is fatty and resembles leather? None of that here! It was tender and tasty.
I was also able to sample the beef pho and chicken pho. Both were awesome.
This place is the pho king. It's so pho king good, that I wanted to lick my bowl clean, but it was my first time there, so I figured it might be considered a bit uncouth. I'll wait until they get to know me a little better to lick the bowl. I have a feeling they will get to know me...
You know it's good when other Vietnamese are eating there (unrelated and unknown to the owner!).
I can't wait to go back!
Stop by here and you will NOT be disappointed. If you have tried any of the restaurants in my reviews you know I am dead on with restaurant's taste and service. The chef here cooks up some awesome food and their waiters are extremely friendly. Since the restaurant is called Pho Vinh, I had to give a bowl of Pho a try. The Pho tasted JUST like home cooking. It was not oily, just enough Pho flavor, and came out at the right temperature to enjoy it. You can also pick all the ingredients you want in it. You can't beat that!!! I'll be back to try their non-Pho items. I already know that the other Vietnamese dishes are going to be tasty just by eating their Pho.
Review Source:We've only done take out, but the food has been very solid so far. Â It is always nice to see variety on the restaurant scene and there are very few (if any) Vietnamese places in Cape Coral. Â And we are lucky because this one is well above average. Â If you have not tried Vietnamese food, this is a great place to try it out. Â There are many healthy options and you can add flavor and spices as you like.
Review Source:BETTER THAN EVER
What a great place. They seem to be achieving well deserved success and they are in the process of expanding and improving the interior.
AND the owner promises to have Vietnamese Sandwiches (!) when the addition is complete December 2, 2010. Â I, for one, can't wait because I love them.
I think the only place in Lee County that presently has them is the Paris Saigon Bistro next to Bell Tower Shops.
For lunch we started with Shrimp Spring Rolls, followed with specials called Central Kick & Curry Craving with pork. Everything was excellent & I have attached pictures of this lovely food.
Cheers & enjoy...
Best mom & pop noodle soup restaurant down south. Their pho is simple, light and taste absolutely amazing. They take out all the fluff and fat unlike traditional vietnamese restaurants who keeps all the fatty unhealthy stuff and serve them to their customers. Everything on the restaurants menu is delicious and I highly recommend you try everything when you get a chance (i.e. The Great Roll). If you want to try off the menu items I suggest you come during their slow times and ask them what they've been experimenting on. I've eaten some of the best tasting dishes during their experimental times.
Review Source:When you don't know what you feel like having for lunch this is a great place to go. Â Service is quick and they are very polite.
I have no idea what I ordered when I went but it was great. Â
If you are feeling like something different try their avocado shake. It sound kind of weird but it is super tasty.
Went for lunch and although they were doing renovations,(making the dining area bigger) the service was friendly and quick. Â I ordered the grilled pork and egg rolls noodle salad. It tasted fantastic, had plenty of meat and a couple of rolls. I had a taro boba tea which was good but a little to warm. I gave them four stars because I hoped they would also serve veitnamese subs! All in all it was a great experience!
Review Source:Thank heavens! Finally a great, authentic noodle shop close to my house. I swear, if this restaurant was in Tampa we would still drive it just to get our hands on those sweet noodles. My entire family (kids and all) are addicted.
This place has great PHO and other noodle dishes. The best since we lived in San Francisco. If you're new, here's the basics:
1. Order PHO (Noodle soup). Get #3 if you are not sure about the others.
2. When they bring it, drop some fresh mint leaves, sprouts, and other goodness in it. Hot sauce to taste.
3. Stir the whole thing up and then dig in.
Highly recommended!
