Anise Pho

Overall: Not recommend. A lot better Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The Hoisin sauce should be refrigerated so it last longer and has better quality.. but it’s left on the table. Overall Food: 3/10 Pho: 4.5/10 - Very bland, almost no taste. No additional bean sprouts. The spoon isn’t made for pho bowls. Fresh Rolls: 2.8 / 10 - Nothing fresh about them. Tasted like it was prepared days prior. Iceberg lettuce and lots of vermicelli watered down the taste as well. Potsticker: 7.2 / 10 - Fresh and hot to order. Looked very appealing. Tasted as it should. Overall Value: 3.8 - while the place looks great and unique, the meal cost almost 100 dollars for 3. Which is one of the most expensive Vietnamese bills I’ve paid. For the quality of the food, 100 dollars was not worth it.

Very cozy place for family/couples. Food was So good! We ordered Shrimp Spring Rolls, BBQ Pork Banh Mi, and Special Combo Pho. The spring rolls are fresh and delicious with peanut sauce, Banh Mi was really flavorful, you can taste the BBQ flavor and the sauce they use in their Banh Mi OMG so good! Pho was good too, the broth was just right, taste really fresh, good portion of noodles and meat.

Admittedly, I have not eaten a lot of Vietnamese food. My preferred “Asian” food is Americanized Chinese food so I couldn’t tell you how authentic this food is but it is fresh and tasty. Lots of bright flavors come together in these dishes and are just pleasant together. If you’re ordering the bánh mì, I recommend ordering extra protein, there was not much on mine and that is my biggest critique for this restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive both times I visited.

We were passing by this restaurant and could smell the delicious 🍜 Pho so we decided to try it out.Because we had a dog we sat outside and had the heaters turned on.We ordered the shrimp egg rolls,crispy tofu,shrimp chips,Banh mi and chicken pho with vegan broth.Everything was so delicious 🤤 Please try this place out whenever you're around.The pho was a bowl of deliciousness. WE WILL BE BACK

On a trip through Raleigh we decided to find a good vegetarian Bahn Mi place and Anise Pho popped up. Although it took a while to find parking and the restaurant is next to some restaurants that smelled amazing we are glad we came in because it did not disappoint. The soup was good however I don’t know if it’s Vegan though. So just double check. Moral of the story is the restaurants around here all smell great. Don’t give in to the temptation though because you won’t regret diving into a super yummy and great priced Bahn Mi at Anise Pho.
