Amazing! I ordered the rare beef pho, the beef wasn't dry or chewy, I thought the broth had a good flavor and wasn't too salty. It was delicious!

Curry, pho, tofu, and more! Service is quick, food is fresh, and everything I tried was delicious! I had the tofu pho and it was warm and filling on a rainy day.

My son and his husband found this place last weekend while out Christmas shopping. So they treated me to lunch and not disappointed. The pho was delicious.# 105 chicken pho. A small is still to big for me but got a togo container so left overs. Lucky me. Wait staff is very attentive and remembered my son and his husband. Definitely will be back.

Too Simply Pho or Simply NOT Pho would be more accurate for the name! I used to work and lived in the Salem-Keizer area for 15 years. I still drive through, check out, and support new eateries every chance I come through. I was excited about Simply Pho and What A Big Disappointment!Perhaps this place is good for other Chinese dishes which I will never know because I will definitely not come back nor recommend it to anyone. If you want mediocre Pho, this is not even worth your penny, let alone authentic Vietnamese Pho. You'd be better off spending your money at Kim Huong on Silverton Road; this place is family-owned and it's as original as it gets for Pho in Salem. Kim Huong is not the best Pho, yet it's solid and decent for the area.As a born and raised Vietnamese in Viet Nam for my first 2 decades, I should have left when the waitress told me there was no Vietnamese or Vietnamese speaking in the kitchen or owner. She thinks they are Cantonese. Again, I still have fond memories of the area and want to continue to support any new business and root for more.The second red flag for me was when I saw broccoli, bok choy, and carrot slides in the Special Pho-Pho Noodle Soup with Wonton I ordered! There was way too much noddle in proportion with everything else that came with it. The broth was completely bland with absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The word Pho should not even be associated with such bland and unflavored broth!I came in around 5 p.m. on a rainy Sunday in September 2023 and the place was packed with around 5 people waiting for a table and take out the wait was 20-30 minutes every time the phone rang and the waitress told them so.The place is clean, cozy L-shape at the corner to the right of Great Harvest Bread Co. on Commercial Street and Madrona Avenue, across Freddy's. There is no zero star on Yelp, so one star is for Simply NOT Pho, but clean.

Great food. Good Service. Good value. The pho could have been a little more flavorful, but that's kinda nit picky. It was delicious. We also had fried rice and it was very good.Dietary restrictions: They will make your meal gluten free if you ask. A lot of the items are gluten free anyways. Most are also dairy free.
