Restaurant has other dishes besides pho. We ordered chicken pho, beef pho and beef sate noodle here. The noodle and meat were fresh, the soup were tasty but very salty. We had to squeeze many pieces of lemon to the soup to kill the saltiness. Pho noodles here did not come with basil and bean sprouts.

The fried fish cake comes with pickled radishes and carrots. The picking is spot on with vinegar to sweetness. Nice presentation with rice noodles sprinkled with ground up peanuts and sautéed green onion. Pho is the major offering but I not sure what region is being represented here, North/South or Asian? I got the large pho ga (chicken). It came with wide white noodles and really shredded chicken pieces (skin included or home style). The broth is delicious with hints of spice in the background. Very smooth flavors and pretty clean broth. No bean sprout or basil leaves, yes I said it “no bean sprout” on the side. I think that someone forgot to tell them that bean sprouts is a super food and it keeps old men regular with their cycles. Wedge of Lime and sliced jalapeño in a small dish. I gave a double shot of sriracha and two tablespoons of hoisin sauce-senior flare. I finished the bowl which proves that old people are hungry and have something to say about a good bowl of pho. Try at your own risk of course and if you are ready to expand your pho skills. Newbies to pho, go somewhere else (with knowledgeable friends). Establishment only takes cash, no credit card or bit coin.

Great portion for the price. The flavor of the broth was delicious. My grandma and I both ordered small shrimp noodle soups. Thank you!

Overpriced, was stingy with sauce and poor customer service. Taste was just about acceptable. This is the Northern Vietnamese pho which serves the thick flat rice noodles and doesn’t come with the typical plate of bean sprouts and mint leaves. Soup base was alright. Portion was artificially inflated by bowl size and broth volume but poor in content and substance. This place also lacks basic customer service. As shown in photo the table is empty and not your typical Pho shop that comes with the regular sauces (Sriracha, Hoi Sin, etc); all these were served in small tiny dipping sauce plates. When asked for more sauce, waitress showed an unhappy face as if we inconvenienced them or that we shouldn’t have eaten so much of their Sriracha sauce. We never had such problem at other Pho shops as these sauces are readily available on the tables and free for all to use per table. This shop was too pernickety to the point that it impacted the whole customer experience. I would’ve looked the other way if the tradeoff was a cheaper price tag. In fact we paid 20% more for a regular bowl of Pho than we would have at a nearby and better Pho place at Irving. Overall not a good experience but probably reasonable for people who don’t mind the higher price, mediocre customer service, and want to travel too far if they’re nearby to this place.

This place is cash only, so come prepared because youre gonna wanna tip. It is so delicious and so good, some of the best pho Ive had in the city! Simple and they dont provide bean sprouts and basil, but they have a chili sauce to die for. They also have a wider noodle that I couldnt get enough of. Simple, delicious and I feel like I had a true experience dining here. Highly recommend!

After seeing the waitress dropped the sauce plates on the floor and put them back on the table without washing, I really dont want to eat anything from this restaurant.The food is so so.

I should have left when I saw the menu was devoid of any Vietnamese besides labels on pictures of the food. The menu was in English and Chinese based on the English translations. The staff speak Cantonese and Mandarin. Dont eat here. Go to a Vietnamese place run by Vietnamese people. The food is awful and key components of the dishes are missing.
