I would give Pho Tan 4.3/5 if I could give that vote. Maybe people aren't used to the service of local stores in Flushing, so the overall review is a bit lower. As a native of flushing who frequents its local restaurants, I'm aware that we really should judge their food and be a little more lenient on their service, or maybe that's just me. Their dining tables seem to have multiple layers of one-time-use cloth that they can easily pull off for easy cleaning, but it does make the tables feel a little "bulky." I definitely started to order from Pho Tan a bit more since I do have late night noodle soup cravings, and it definitely hits the spot for me. The man was also nice enough to let us in a few minutes before they stopped taking customers for sit-in dining. The grilled pork banh mi and the big bowl house special combo 1 are two dishes I would recommend.

Very good experience at Pho Tan with one of my best friends for dinner on a Wednesday. We were able to pick our own table which was nice. We shared the soft shell crab spring rolls which were very tasty. My friend recommended I try the traditional Vietnamese drink called Calamansi which is made out of kumquats. It was very fruity and refreshing. I had the big bowl combo pho with rare rib eye, brisket, tendon, and tripe. So flavorful and worth the money.

Honestly they don't have the best tasting broth, BUT I love this place! The food portions are huge, the price is amazing, and I love the staff! They are really nice and the space is very spacious and large. Can accommodate large parties and it's very clean. We usually get the number 1 pho, the grilled pork chop (2 pork chops!) over rice, and the summer rolls! All super good! The Thai ice tea is also very good! I would always recommend this place for the value, space, and service!

There are plenty of Vietnamese Pho places to visit in Flushing and I'm making my way through all of them. The latest on the list is Pho Tan on Northern Blvd and we're here for dinner. The dining room is spacious and on a Tuesday night, we have no problem getting a table. We start with some Shrimp Summer Rolls that come with a tangy sesame sauce and Chicken Satay with a sweet & savory peanut sauce, both good appetizers. My wife also had the Thai Glass Noodle Salad with Chicken, normally as an appetizer but as her entrée. Be careful of those tiny slices of red chili pepper because they are deadly spicy! Pho Tan's #1 火車頭 Locomotive Beef Pho bowl is the BiGGeSt I've ever encountered! And I have never met a pho bowl I didn't like. The #1 is an XL bowl that is a full 10" in diameter! The way the server balances 2 full bowls of hot liquid is impressive. I judge all pho places by their Locomotives. They might go by different names with slight variations, but it all "boils" down to the broth, rice noodles and sliced beef. It is filled with fragrant broth, generous portion of noodles, tasty & tender slices of eye round, brisket, tendon, tripe and garnished with plenty of green & white onions. At other places, the flavor of the beef usually gets lost in the broth, but these slices had distinct flavors all their own. They also give you even more garnishes on a plate with lemon wedges, bean sprouts, fresh sprigs of basil and cilantro to customize the flavor & texture. For an added $2, you can even add a quartet of fish balls. Enjoy it while it is steaming hot!

This is our go to pho place. The place is a good size restaurant with many 2 and 4 tables but only one large table for 10. Can't bring a large group during dinner hour or it's going to be a long wait. We like starting with the shrimp rolls as an appetizer. They use whole, large shrimps. Then hubby usually gets the large bowl with assorted beef, tendon, tripe in a soup broth. The #1. They bring basil, lemon, and bean sprouts on the side that you can add, there are various condiments on the table in a caddy you can use to spice up the taste. I had the pork on vermicelli noodles. It was loaded with carrots, peanuts,tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts and grilled pork slices, vermicelli in a little bit or sauce and a cup full so you can add more. The pork was nicely grilled but a little too fatty this time. Hopefully it won't happen again. Otherwise we had a good meal
