Phorage Overland

Came here last night and the place was empty. Service was nonexistent, since they mostly hung out in the kitchen, out of sight to us. Our food took so long to get to us. There was another couple that showed up after us that received their food before us. The server noticed my expression and tried to explain that the dishes we ordered was more complicated... We ordered straight from their menu (two pho and two snack dishes) with no changes. How is that more complicated than the pho that the other couple ordered? Our food finally shows up much later, but not all at once. The waffle fries show up first, and then it would be another ten minutes or so until the pho was served. And yet another while before the broken rice dish was served. And then to add insult to injury, the food was subpar and overpriced. The pho broth was salty and tasted nothing like authentic pho. My bun bo hue tasted like they used the same sad salty pho broth and just added extra chili oil. No lemongrass flavor or any kind of taste except salt. The beef curry that was supposed to be on the waffle fries or the broken rice had none of the coconut flavor it claimed was in it. Didn't taste like curry at all. Just seasoned ground beef. Super disappointed. Definitely not coming back.

Everything is expensive nowadays, this is no different, but the servings are plentiful!

Phorage is a no-frills restaurant for delicious food and outstanding service. This is my go-to spot for pho and I love the specials they offer which offer some tasty fusion recipes (Birria pho and Spricy Lemongrass pho are great specials they offer) Other favorites include broken rice dishes as well as vermicelli cold noodle salads (BEST CHICKEN THIGHS EVER). Since I usually order delivery or takeout I know how quickly and efficiently this restaurant runs. It’s become my comfort food and I eat it weekly. Dietary restrictions: I have gluten intolerance and I can eat the pho without any reactions. Big win!

**update- I had to go to urgent care 2 days after eating here, confirmed food poisoning. Still sick 5 days later** I’ve ordered from this place multiple times but the last time I ate here and got so sick that evening. I was sick for hours in the middle of the night. The food tastes decent but I won’t be eating here again after my experience.

This place RIPS! So delicious / consistent. Try the oxtail or birria pho. Manager was really cool as well and was quick to help me w a customer service issue (which was an order mistake I made, not them).

Modern and cozy atmosphere in quiet area. Staffs are kind and food is also good.

Ordered delivery, it was great!
