Pho Real Kitchen and Bar

Really good place to get broken rice (com tam)! The meat and fish sauce were perfect and I absolutely loved the omelette. Typically, broken rice would come with steamed pork and egg meatloaf but totally fine since the portions on this dish were large. Staff were great and friendly and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere. Make sure to wear something you're ok with getting smelly because there was definitely an oil smell on me and my friends right after eating here!

The pho was hands down the best pho I ever had. They didn’t have the keto noodles anymore, so had to cheat on my keto and do gluten free. I give them a 9/10 just because they didn’t have the keto noodles. Other than that it was phenomenal , literally cleaned the bowl

The Vegan Pho is also Gluten-free and it was amazing! I also suggest the Vegan spring rolls with tofu and avocado, it is Gluten-free as long as you don't get the peanut sauce with it. The staff was kind and helpful with my food allergies, overall it was a great experience.

I don’t know why this restaurant only 4.3 stars and whata pho have 4.8, be honestly this is the restaurant of glory of Des Monies! I can say it should be 5 stars restaurant, Here didn’t have any food lower than 5 stars, I can say is perfect in this restaurant and hope it can get the 4.8,4.9 soon!

Very nice menu with enough variety for multiple visits. Ordered from the appetizer menu-masubi and the won ton soup. The masubi was scalding hot but well made. The soup was divine. Clear pork broth, perfectly seasoned during the boil, filtered so it was clear and clean and then just the right amount of sesame seed oil danced around with green onions and ginger as partners. Atmosphere is cute. Tight seating but cozy. Interesting pop music selections but thankfully not too loud. Staff isn't what I'm used to. Not bad but maybe it's a Gen Z thing of being hands off and saying the right thing in the tone of Ben Stein. Overall, I'd eat here again. What I had was very enjoyable. Thankful.

This place has excellent pho! We ate later in the evening and the food and service were excellent. We had a large group and everyone enjoyed their meals!

I love the location because it boasts of old and new. I’m not sure how long it has been in Des Moines because I haven’t lived there for many years, but I liked that upon a visit to the bathroom I was met with the nostalgia of an old vintage hotel (?) or apartment building. Food was great. Service was friendly. First time but would definitely visit again.
