GOOD REVIEWS
“I like it, especially when I throw in some veggies and a splash of rice vinegar.”
“My kids love it for school lunch”
‘It’s so good! A staple in our house”
“My family likes it.”
‘It’s a good base but you have to add your own seasoning sauce and spruce it up. Otherwise it’s gross!”
“My kids fave”
“Delicious! I actually add fish sauce and chilli oil to it and it’s fantastic for instant”
“We love it. We tend to add shrimp, jalapeno, lime juice and hoisin sauce to make it really like a pho “
“I like it but only use half the seasoning packet because the sodium is super high.”
“We like it!!”
“Absolutely delicious”
“For instant standards, it’s not bad. I was pleasantly surprised. My 80 year old mother liked it . I typically zhuge it up with filet mignon eye round and bean sprouts etc to make it more enjoyable.”
“Delicious for the convenience.”
“It is very good. It’s the best “instant” pho I’ve had. We doctor it up a bit.”
“Our boys like it- and we eat a lot of homemade pho on a regular. It’s not horrible!”
“My kids loooove them! Add hoisin and siracha”
LOVE this! So much potential when dressed up with fresh veggies; makes a delicious 300cal (w/ veggies) snack / light meal that is savory and crisp when you don’t want something heavy.It’s 4/10 on its own: the base flavor is good but the texture of the noodles is boring.Adding fresh veggies elevates this to 9/10 I add a ton of bean sprouts, jalapeños, and Thai basil. I use 3X the volume of the noodles (3 parts raw veggies to 1 brick noodle). The result is super filling and hearty but still light. With crisp veggies in every bite, the texture becomes mouthwateringly delicious. This is my favorite stoned snack! (11/10 when I have the munchies )”
“LOVE it..”
“It’s very good to start. I add things. I add thin sliced beef, onions, mushrooms, sprouts, and a bit of hoisin sauce. Sometimes black bean paste. But the noodles are good and it’s a lovely tasting base.I cook it on the stove instead of microwave.”
“With some sriracha, hoisin, and jalapeño it’s Busin!”
“It’s not bad. Add a little cilantro, scallions, shredded chicken and pretty decent. I like the convenience. You just have to understand that it’s instant pho so your expectations should be realistic. That being said definitely worth it if on sale! I won’t buy regular price but on sale absolutely! “
“My family is split. Either you love it or hate it. I love it as a snack or quick breakfast.”
“Great! Add grilled protein, cilantro, jalapeño, basil and lime. Delicious and easy meal”
“It’s good for instant Pho. Don’t expect it to be the real thing.”
“If you add hoison sauce and siracha it’s good for an easy meal, but I didn’t care for it plain.”
“I love these and by a ton when on sale . Better than using jarred pho broth when in a pinch.”
“The best, we all love it at home.”
“I love them! Very flavorful.”
“Tastes nothing like actual pho but it’s a tasty instant soup nonetheless”
“I love them! SO does my son!”
“We love them! You can use half the seasoning packet if you want less salt but quick & delicious. Add protein or veggies.”
“It’s good! Quick and easy for kids’ lunches.”
“I love them. I keep them at work when I want something lite”
“Like it a lot. Obviously nothing like freshly made at a restaurant or if you’re lucky enough to know how to cook it yourself. but for a 3 minute meal for under $1, it’s not bad! tip – use only 1/2 of the seasoning packet (the orange packet). It’s way too salty otherwise”
“I like having them on hand for back up. Great for using with left over protein and veg that may be getting old in the fridge. Because I am on low sodium diet, I only use half the soup base packet.”
“Cool stuff. My kiddo loves it.”
“Portion are small. Had to eat 4 bowls to be full…I’m not even a fatty.“
“I enjoyed them. They’re a quick, easy meal that has good flavor. I like them for work.”
“My husband and his dad love them, and they both love pho from restaurants. I think it’s ok. Definitely not bad.”
“My daughter loves these and I do too whenever im hungover lol they changed the packaging and the bowl is better now. Better than eating maruchan in my opinion lol”
“If you love pho and you need an instant? I highly recommend this from costco i tried so many different pho instant but this is one of the best i tried so far its good for breakfast or lunch at work..ready in 3 minutes”
“These Pho soups are unbelievably delicious If you enjoy Pho go for it!”
“Great to warm up with in the winter”
“As a travel nurse, I LOVE these little Vietnamese Pho bowls! After my shift I come back to my hotel, brew a hot cup of water, mix, sit, and enjoy “
“i love these but they always give me migraines “
“I like them because they’re handy, especially when traveling! Very tasty!”
“I am Vietnamese and I love them, too. I add a couple eggs to the bowls when I cook them in the microwave”
“I add cilantro, red pepper flakes, and sometimes brócoli or baby corn to it. I think they are great for a fast lunch or dinner!”
“Loveee these!! Always a must have at home!”
“I love them! Doesnt taste like pho but I like the flavor.”
“Omg this is one of my staples!!!! Love pho!”
“A very good tasting pho. Added bean sprouts, thin sliced roasted pork and touch of Sambal. As good as the restaurant.”
“I am Vietnamese and it’s better than authentic”
“Tip* instead of water use bone broth. Makes it so much yummier. I buy constantly. Such a great quick meal.”
“I love the broth but it doesn’t really taste like pho broth, just a good flavorful broth in general. I’m not the biggest fan of the noodle texture but I’d eat it again.”
“Vietnamese here. This is a decent instant noodle soup. But it doesn’t taste any close to pho. That “authentic pho broth” on the packaging is so misleading .”
“My son loves these. He adds fresh bean sprouts to it.”
“We love this product!!! So delicious and has a little spice to it too”
“My son loves pho. I got this and he’s really enjoyed it!”
“Here’s a tip, use 1/2 of the orange seasoning packet. It’s better IMO and not as salty. I love this soup for a 3 minute lunch!”
“I just bought 3 boxes. We love it”
BAD REVIEW
“Not authentic tasting whatsoever. Broth is not seasoned traditionally, wrong noodles not sure why they even call it pho…. But it’s not bad if you don’t compare it to traditional pho”
“Didn’t like it one bit”
“Too many unhealthy ingredients….I would not recommend!”
“Honestly, I think these are complete garbage. “
“I tried it and was really disappointed!”
“I wasn’t a fan of these. I didn’t like the hint of anise and clove it had. I don’t care for those spices personally”
“Those usually have too much sodium for me.“
“Fav city said not to buy. I follow him on Facebook. Soy not good. Artificial color etc. He does reviews on Costco products and which ones he recommends in the store.”
“Couldn’t give it away.”
“No no no. Tried one and still have the whole thing in the pantry.”
“These are gross. Very bland.”
“I can honestly say that this is the first time I bought something at Costco that I absolutely cannot stand. I tried adding frozen vegetables and still couldn’t eat it. Just one disappointment in almost twenty years isn’t too bad.”
“Don’t buy it. Not that good”
“This is trash”
“Not good . The ramen much much better”
“Very salty”
“Half Vietnamese here, and this was a no for me.”

“A lot of msg. Very thirsty after eating it and having horrible headache”
“My kids grew up in Singapore. They didn’t like it at all.”
“I bought it, IMO this is thee worst! Very bland and noodles tasted like cardboard. Not even in a pinch I would eat/purchase again. If I am gonna dress it up, why not make it from scratch. Even the base was tasteless.”
“Did not like it”
“Nooo they are horrible!”
“My family did not like it at all”
“I’d eat it again if I was desperate for quick pho. Wouldn’t buy it again. It left a film on my lips that smelled of the soup base that wouldn’t go away.”
“Nope.Consistency of the sauce packet was unsettling & overpowered for the amount of noodles.”
“It’s average. I’ve tried many and there’s much better ones at Walmart”
“Meh, I didn’t care for it”
“2 down”
“Nah, I tried. I’ll pass from here on.”
“Did not like it!!”
“LOTS of sodium”
