The pho was ok I’ve had better, the flavor went away quick so it was frustrating eating it. The shrimp rolls and chicken wings were really good especially with the peanut sauce.

Saturday night my family and I went to have a good dinner night at this place that it was our favorite for more than 10+ years. We order our food and as normal they brought some water but this time the glassware was dirty, with marks of lipstick. Ok we thought it was fine just a small mistake. They change them, after a few minutes of eating the food with my daughters and wife I was going to take a piece of fry tofu and I notice there was a black dot in the plate and surprise! A Fly!!!We couldnt believe that was happening after so many years of service. The waitress just apologized and wanted to offer a 10% discount, we did not finish the food, paid and walked away. A week after we recover from food poison. We will never come back!

We ended up coming here on a Friday night because everywhere else was too busy. The atmosphere in here is kind of sad and the service is kind of weird and slow. The food is your standard Vietnamese pho restaurant food, nothing really spectacular about anything that we ordered. The fish sauce chicken wings were decent even though they were mostly breading.

The chicken didn’t have much flavor. The egg rolls were bland. It was okay. Nothing to rave over. I can’t say I won’t come back to try something else. The portions are a nice size. I feel like the Vermicelli Chicken & Egg Roll bowl could have more cucumbers. Only a tiny amount and sliced extremely thin. I feel like I only got the peel. No cucumber meat. There was no cilantro or mint or basil offered either. That’s a staple at Vietnamese restaurants.It was a chilly evening and the AC was going. I could hear other tables say they were cold too. Clean tables. I would see them spray down each one as tables changed out. Staff was okay. They don’t interact much.

Been here dozens of times over the last 2 decades and it is always consistent. Veggie spring rolls and great and the veggie pho is tasty and full of veggies.

Awesome staff. They remember me and my family all the time, food is always the best.Rare and well done steak pho is my absolute favorite, I do miss the hue style pho, they no longer serve it. Overall its worth coming here over and over again.

The smell coming out of this place calls you in! Its delightful! I was happy to see a pho place with good reviews right around the corner from my place. As soon as I had a chance I came to check it out. The location is super cute and configurable, the service is fast and the prices are fair. We ordered the classic spring rolls, orange chicken and pho. The pho was really good, good size, super hot and flavorful. The sprints didnt have any herbs in them other than lettuce and the orange chicken was just ok.I brought almost half of my pho home because they serve you pretty good portions and reheating it ay home made it even more tasty!

We really enjoy the food here. Its fresh authentic and one of the best pho we have had. The beef broth is so soothing. This is our go to place for a good homely dinner. We usually have the lemon grass chicken, spring roll and beef pho. Look portions are decent sized! Service could be slow sometimes but it’s not too bad.We dine in and do take out atleast once a month.

We had shrimp summer rolls, coconut jelly, Chickenfried rice and Vietnamese chicken curry. All dishes were delicious. We’d definitely like to visit here again.

Excellent food and stellar service. I got the sizzling fish and a jasmine tea and he got the stir fry house special.
