Pho Lena is my favorite pho place in town. Let me start off with the atmosphere. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to hear worship music playing while we sat ourselves down. We had the nicest waitress ever, I can't remember her name, but she was blonde and was so sweet and charming! My go to for appetizers is the pot stickers. They are so delicious and crispy, the sauce that comes with it is to die for! I got the large bowl of Beef Brisket Pho it was delicious and so filling. Prices are really good too. This is our weekly spot. 10/10.

First off, I cannot believe how many times we've eaten here and not reviewed........ This is our absolute favorite Pho in the state! I could eat here everyday and might even consider quitting my job so I can apply, lol. The bowl of noodles has everything you want, meat, veggies, carbs, drowning in a broth that is so rich and flavorful. Plus, the side of basil, sliced jalapeños, and mound of bean sprouts gives you that fresh crisp needed to complement this amazing dish. It's not uncommon to hear the distant sound of coughing around the restaurant as customers send the broth down the wrong tube from slurping this deliciousness down with the quickness!! Lastly, the service is always great and the staff is super attentive. The ambiance is fine, but the booths are a little tired and could use some updating.

amazing food taste great you can tell its fresh! as an asian away from home this helps ease my homesickness

My son and I ate here after his basketball game, the service was great, the food was awesome and we left stuffed! The pho hit the spot on the first major snow storm. I debated ordering the panaag curry but was happy with my food. He ordered the rare beef pho and I ordered the Garlic Chicken with sticky rice. Soo good, we hope to come back again!!

Had lunch here yesterday! Syri was great! Fast friendly service. I had the red chicken curry, so yummy!

We always get our food for pick up, because we all love their food! Pad woon sen is a favorite of ours along with pumpkin curry.

Delicious and fast. Careful adding spice because I thought I could handle spice, ordered the 3rd level spice for pad Thai, and learned very quickly that I in fact cannot handle spice. But the food is delicious and I love the Thai tea!

This restaurant is located in the strip mall off Boniface. They have multiple locations in Anchorage. This is my first visit to this location. They advertise Lao and Thai food. I ordered the Tom Yum Shrimp Soup which came with a cup of white rice. The broth was tasty with the normal flavors that I like. The vegetables were green onion, white onion, and mushrooms. No other greens that I could detect. Their were six cooked shrimp in the broth. The vegetables and shrimp were cooked well and tasty. The rice I added to the broth was well cooked and not mushy. The serving and flavor was adequate. The size would be good for a lunch serving and the check said small. So they must have two sizes, but not a dinner. It costs $13.95 with a $4.00 up charge for the shrimp. I added a can of Diet Coke $2.00 and the server brought a large glass of water. It was early on Friday (4:30?) with one other e"diner eating. I did see several take out orders being picked up during my visit. Plenty of parking and appears to be a family place. They have a party room in back that I didn't observe except for the sign. The server was friendly and polite. She was the only one working the dining room from taking orders, serving the tables, taking phone orders, handling the takeout orders and running the checkout. She performed all of those tasks admirable and efficiently although orders and customers were few. I made an error that I won't do again. I had reviewed their menu on Yelp before going in and I saw no mention of alcoholic drinks. When I opened their site to checkin and read the menu. Yelp asked me if they served alcoholic beverages? Not having seen them on the menu I checked NO before going in. As soon as I entered I saw large bottles of wine and cooler with beer and single wine servings. I took and posted pictures of both. Please forgive me for the error. Live and learn even at 75! I couldn't find a way to correct the mistake. I rated the restaurant only at a 4 primarily on the lack of vegetables in the broth. Also I asked for hot and spicy but it was served mild. I added a teaspoon of chili sauce which improved it greatly for my taste. I do this only after I have tasted the broth several times and the vegetables so I can detect the full flavor before turning it fiery. I have to admit their may have been a communication problem because I didn't look at the menu in house as I had reviewed it on YELP. I knew what I wanted and ordered it. So maybe if I looked at the in house menu I would have known their was two sizes and maybe a heat table. They have a 10% military discount and accept credit cards. I would recommend this restaurant as I hate to judge any place by one dish or one visit unless they are truly outstanding or so bad I would never return. I will go back with someone else to try other dishes and gather their thoughts also. Today has been a terrible day for me and several things went wrong. I missed a Dr. appointment, coming out of the restaurant I found my keys laying by the front car fender, driving off I realized I left the front passenger window wide open when I locked it to eat lunch, the Glenn Hwy was backed up and access closed at Boniface, I had to take Debarr with all the rush hour detoured cars, it took two and half hours from Boniface to Eagle River. I didn't realize it was Friday the 13th until I got home and checked. I am usually not a superstitious person but this is just half the problems today. This was the only good thing that happened.
