Had a fabulous pho dining. Soup was excellent. Staffs were very kind and redponding immediately. A family owned.

The service was spectacular, the interior decorations were fantastic, and the food quality was excellent. We had the beef pho noodle soup and the vegetarian fresh spring rolls. Everything was absolutely tasty! If you are hungry, definitely get the large for the pho. We ate indoors, but the outdoor seating area is fantastic as well.

Small diner with big satisfaction! I had the Vermicelli with grilled pork and it was a huge portion with great taste. Additionally, there was a big heap of the delicious pork that came in a huge bowl bigger than the usual Pho bowl in other Vietnamese restaurants.So when that craving for a big appetite of Vietnamese food hits you, this is the place to go!

This place was a welcome surprise in the land of msg-riddled phô. I’m allergic and damn near gave up on phô, tragic as it’s my comfort food—enter this little gem. I was a little hesitant as several reviews mentioned it being bland; my guess is that they were missing the taste of msg because it was not bland, the flavors are pure.Josh was our waiter and you’d be hard pressed to find a kinder or more attentive human, he was a joy to interact with and made us feel well taken care of. He’s worth the visit.The shrimp spring rolls had good ingredients and the peanut sauce was flavorful. They could use an extra shrimp or two and be rolled a bit tighter, they fell apart after the initial bite making it difficult to continue dipping in the heavy peanut sauce. Would still order again.The selection of garnishes was great. Good amount of juicy limes (I didn’t have to ask for more which I typically have to at other places), the extra chilies were a lovely offering, Josh was happy to bring us more basil, and don’t forget the sliced white onions in vinegar (+$0.75).Both the phô tom (beef broth w/ shrimp) and phô dac biet (beef broth w/ rare steak, brisket, beef balls) had good flavor, and perfect protein to noodle ratio; it didn’t feel skimpy. Broth was flavorful and tasted clean.The only things I would change is the noodles were slightly over cooked and I would have preferred the soup to be much hotter in temperature. Imo, phô should be piping hot—if I’m not dripping in sweat and slurping to cool the noodles as I eat, it’s not hot enough. 😅Thai iced tea was solid, not too sweet, and not overly iced.We sat outside and enjoyed the little plant oasis, looking forward to coming back soon. *We were told that bánh mi are in the works. ;)

Super organic. High quality meats. Rich tasty broth. Highly recommended.

Glad I found this place! Some of the best chicken pho Ive ever had. They were generous with the noodles. I added veggies to the pho, and loved the broth. Would come back any day! More pho me, please! 🍜

Amazing Pho.Not salty.Very tasty.Tried the Free-range chicken Pho 🍜Tried the Vegan, GF Pho 🍲Customized the Fresh veggie roll to exclude tofu/soyAll were so delicious and freshly made.💯recommend!!!Staff kind and attentive 🥰

Server was very nice, but a little overwhelmed. There were too many people in the restaurant to have her by herself doing everything up front. The pho was good, good number of shrimp, but I wish the regular size had just a tiny bit more noodles. Overall OK. If I lived close I might give it a second chance.

We were looking for a place to eat for late lunch, and I was feeling like pho. I came across this place on Google, it looked pretty great, so we headed on in. The place was decorated for Halloween which was pretty awesome. We sat down, and ordered the Fried Shrimp Egg Rolls as an appetizer, and they were so flavorful. For our meals, I ordered a Shrimp Pho Regular, and my dad ordered Beef Pho Large. We absolutely loved it! They also give you a plate of toppings to put in your pho, (jalapeños, lemons, etc..). Overall, the experience was amazing, from the service, to the nice employees, 10/10 Highly Recommend!!- E.C. & K.C.
