About Pho Lotus

Welcome to the first Vietnamese and Cambodian restaurant in the Harrisburg area!

We are a family-owned business founded by refugees who came to the United States over 30 years ago in pursuit of the American Dream. Our passion is sharing authentic, home-cooked meals and the flavors of our culture with the community.

Located at 1030 Market St, Harrisburg, PA 17101, Pho Lotus operates as a restaurant serving Harrisburg in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under cambodian restaurant, vietnamese restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Because this group is broad, judging a listing on freshness, turnover and how consistent recent reviews are tends to work better than judging by decor or price range alone. Most kitchens in Harrisburg will adjust a dish for common dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian if you ask when ordering. Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon. Catering and food delivery businesses in Pennsylvania usually require advance notice, from a day for a small order up to a week or more for a large event, so it is worth contacting them early.

The business lists hours on 1 day of the week. The most common schedule is 10 AM–5 PM. It is closed on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Pho Lotus at (717) 703-6504; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is pholotusharrisburg.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Harrisburg is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Harrisburg peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I honestly couldn't believe how incredible the pho is here, and the portions are massive! The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Looking at the beautiful pictures decorating the walls, I’m guessing the owners might be of Cambodian descent. On top of that, the staff was incredibly nice and provided great service. Everything we ordered was amazing: Pork Fresh Spring Rolls: Delicious, fresh, and very generously portioned. Bun Bo Hue: Loaded with plenty of beef and pork. The broth has a subtle sweetness from the pineapple used in the soup, but you can ask for extra shrimp paste on the side. Adding that completely elevated the flavor—it made the broth so rich, savory, and absolutely perfect! Vietnamese Coffee: Strong, bold, and perfectly concentrated. The total bill for everything came out to only $40! I was honestly shocked because living in Maryland, everything is significantly more expensive and the portions are much smaller. This place offers incredible value for money. It is absolutely worth the visit, and I highly recommend it!

Lemme tell you, as a native Californian, who grew up eating authentic all types of Asian food—> this place is the REAL DEAL. I had zero expectations from a place with a pan-Asian menu (usually they can’t even get one right), but they had me at FRESH, made-to-order spring rolls with WARM noodles that they had just boiled. Normally, spring rolls at other restaurants are just sitting around and are practically congealed but not this place. And WOW, the waiter told us his uncle boils the pho broth for over eight hours!!! If that’s not a labor of love, I don’t know what is. I ordered the bun bo hue and loved it. I am sad it’s so far away from me, but 1,000,000,000 recommend!!!

Loved it! Wish I had more people with me so I could have tried more of the menu. I ordered the small pho dac biet and I couldn't even finish that! Really nice broth, very pure flavor, and the meat portion was also extremely generousn with multiple pieces of each cut. The homemade chili oil was also a treat, extremely well balanced and added a nice kick. They also had egg yolk soda, which is a sweet drink of egg yolk and condensed milk topped off with aeltzer, sweet and rich and creamy and something you don't see a lot. I'm not an expert on Vietnamese food but I lived in a Vietnamese neighborhood in Chicago for a year and this brought me right back to Argyle Street iykyk. Service was friendly and timely, the restaurant is spacious and clean, and I'm absolutely recommending it to all my friends.

Excellent food! The best egg rolls we had, those are homemade. Pho was superb, clear broth and tasty. The coffee with condensed milk was nicely balanced, not too bitter nor too sweet. No doubt why they are a straight 5 :)

I want to say this is the best Phó I've had in this central Pennsylvania area. The pho is very beefy and the portion is huge. The flavors are great, (I prefer a little more star anise and clove but that's me). Genuine flavor from a California family that resettled here. This is the kind of pho California was famous for back in the 80's and 90's. The coffee was very good too. Can't wait to have my family try this place.
