Best {ho in central Iowa. It is made with good quality meats. I like the rare steak. The heat from the hot broth cooks the meat further. The broth flavor is excellent. The young family that runs the place are very nice and attentive. Always...enjoy eating here. My granddaughter who has celiac disease likes the glutin-free options.More

Nice Family Run operation

First visit and can't wait to go back. The Pho has been rated #1 in the Des Moines Area. I tried the beefsteak and brisket Pho and it was very tasty. Medium size was big enough to have some to take home. Try the chicken...wings for an appetizer. Arrived hot and delicious.More

Pho Sure!

Dining out Bucket list #4 Pho 85 in Ankeny was everything I was hoping it was going to be and more! Had the crab wontons, #1 pho (beef), and hubs the #5 (beef and meatball) pho. The food, customer service, and total experience was definitely...one we will repeat. We ordered the small which was more than enough.More

Pho is not the sound you will make after the meal...more like YUUUUUMMMM!

Love their spring rolls and their bowls of Pho. The large is L A R G E so unless you are a huge eater go for the medium or even small. Think soup with noodles and spices but not just soup. This is the kind...of bowl of goodness that I like to say, "this has healing power." Pho has "healing power." ENJOY!More

Pleasantly Surprised

Have been meaning to try this restaurant since we discovered it several months ago and finally made it here while they were open. The variety of dishes seemed endless. We tried the egg rolls, vermicelli rice noodle with grilled beef and the beef pho. The...egg rolls were really tasty. The pho had an amazing flavor profile. The dishes were reasonably priced and the wait staff were helpful and friendly.More
