One reviewer ordered the Bun Bo Hue, a dish they try at every new Vietnamese restaurant. While the meal arrived "very quickly," they noted that it "was not as hot as it should be" and was served with "condiments" that were "not correct for the soup as it was for pho soup." Although "The broth wasn’t bad," this customer felt that "the food is catered to Americans and younger generations" and, while their American wife would likely enjoy it, it was "not authentic Vietnamese food" for them, lacking many traditional ingredients. They recommended Pho 813 for "the new younger generation or American folk" but not for those seeking "real authentic Vietnamese food."

In contrast, another customer had an exceptional experience with a different dish, stating, "The duck soup was AMAZING. If you ever get bored with pho, try this place and get the duck soup. Tasting pho for the first time was life changing for me. Tasting this duck variation was more so. I have never had so many new flavors in a single dish." This reviewer also praised the "Excellent service" and declared it "the best soup I have ever had," expressing their intention to return.
