Pho Loc Tho Plant City - Plant City, Florida

Olivia Bogan

I just moved to Plant City and was excited to try this place as I love Pho. I frequent Pho Quyen in St. Pete.

However ... my experience was disappointing.

To-Go Experience:
I ordered to go and specifically asked to combine raw beef with broth. What I got is cooked meat separately from broth. The young guy that checked me out was friendly and nice; atmosphere was pleasant. Hence, 2 stars.

Food presentation:
Veggies, cilantro and mint, didn't look fresh and were rotten in parts. I had to pick through them and throw away bad parts.

Food taste:
Most pho I tried (I travel a lot for work) tastes flavorful and healthy. Broth of this pho smelled bad (like burnt oil) and tasted very greasy to the point I could not finish it and had to throw away most of the meal I just paid $15 for. The meat was tasteless as well.

I know you are new to the area and it's easy to become comfortable by serving sub-par food due to the lack of competition in the area. I do highly encourage you visit your competitors, taste their food and observe what they do to improve. I hope you can take this constructive feedback and act upon it. As I would love to have Pho Qyuen quality here in Plant City.

Finally, a pho restaurant in PC!!
Be warned, they just opened. The A/C was struggling and the staff is still trying to find their rhythm.... but the food is great.

We started with the fresh spring rolls with pork and shrimp. They were crammed full of goodness. We also tried a streamed pork sausage bun. My wife was surprised it had a boiled egg it it, but it was good - even if it wasn't what we were expecting.
The pho was the best part of the meal. We had the beef pho. Lots of cilantro and an even mix of meat and noodles. Mine needed a little soy sauce, but it was very tasty.

We waited a long time for this place to open, and we were very happy to see they were busy the whole time we were there!

If this like the pho loc tho in riverview .. food will be fire!! With clean dining and restrooms. With exceptional service.. came in for soft opening .. i was greeted right away. For appetizers i order some eggrolls and chicken wings . Both were crispy and delicious . For main course i order the house special pho. Instantly smell the pho aroma.. taste the broth and it was very flavorful. The meat were very tender.. and the rare beef was RIBEYE that melt in my mouth every bite.! As a pho fanatic i highly recommend this place

Please take the time to visit and enjoy authentic Vietnamese Pho and other delicious entrees. I took my parents here to try Pho for the first time. They were so surprised at the wonderful flavors of the broth of beef and chicken. Mom had the larger noodle with chicken and my dad had the rare beef sirloin. I so enjoyed the beef brisket and beef broth. Pho is delicious and healthy for you even if you have a dietary restriction. Lam the chef and owner came and sat next to us and shared more about how the Pho is prepared and spoke about their business time opening recently in Plant City. The only Pho place in Plant City I might add, and happy to have them here.

Please come and enjoy the deliciousness and friendly atmosphere. Great relaxing music played in the restaurant and provided a chill experience. The wait staff were very helpful and the service was splendid.

Tell them Randolph from Memphis shared his experience and recommend you to come in and visit.

Nice place that recently opened up. Lots of fresh goodness. The restaurant is clean and bright. The young man who was our server was very friendly and helpful.

This was the first time I've ever had pho, since most places didn't have a vegetarian option when I used to frequent Viet restaurants years back.

From my experience, the food doesn't leave you with a heavy greasy feeling. It's all fresh veggies and herbs that packs a flavor punch. And the regular serving of pho was huge! Next time I'll ask for extra jalepeños and basil - so yummy!

On a previous occasion, I also tried the lemon grass vegetarian dish along with the tofu fresh spring rolls for takeout, and it was also delicious. Personally, I couldn't get much of the lemongrass flavor distinctly, but the dish itself was very tasty.

We definitely need more good ethnic options in the area. Keep up the great work and I wish you success!

Amazing food, portions, service ! The Pho is delicious, the broth has incredible flavor. The ice coffee is tier perfect as well. Hard to find a good Vietnamese restaurant.

The elephant in the room. The AC is not working making it pretty miserable to dine in.
That aside, the pho was really good the bun bo hue was also good, but missing the standard pork blood. The bun bao was lackluster. The noodles for the pho came out a little al dente but softened up after 10 minutes. The fresh rolls are great with their peanut sauce. Get the coffee!!

Hope they add bahn mi to the menu!

This place food and $$ are amazing. You have to try if you have never been here. There many things on a manor worth trying, but if you want amazing Vietnamese soup Pho! That’s the place!
