They barely gave any meat (my husband counted 4 small pieces) in the beef pho and when asked about it they said it was totally normal and you have to pay $5 for “extra” meat.
The pho wasn’t good anyway and we wont be back.
Smelled like smoke, waitress was slow and sat there talking until I had to literally ask for service. Food was mediocre. Not the best pho in the city. Go somewhere else.

I'd say it's an average Vietnamese restaurant. Nothing exceptional.

We came for lunch this Friday, Nov 15. There were only 2 sets of customers, my family and 2 guys.
We ordered spring rolls, vermicelli bowl, and Chef's Special Stir Fry Shrimp and Scallop Macaroni, intriguing, right?
Don't bother with the macaroni dish. I can't even comprehend what's so special about it and at the price.
My wife always asks for an extra sauce for the vermicelli bowl. My daughter and I saw the lady owner made a face about it.
Never again. And we won't be back. I usually give 18% tip to any establishment I visit. Not this time, and it felt good.

Always great - amazing traditional pho, great rice dishes and I love their subs on fresh crispy bread! Today I had the Thai satay beef soup and it was so tasty - not too spicy. Always super fast, friendly service and amazing value for money. Highly recommend!

I have visited this restaurant quite a few times. I have tried many dishes and now I often eat rice noodles and skewers. I recommend the skewers over the others.

I placed an online order which stated it would be ready in 20 min. I showed up and waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged as there were several people who were also waiting for their order, only to find out the orders were not ready.
THIS RESTAURANT DOES NOT MAKE ORDERS (called in or placed online) until you show up. Ended up waiting an extra 30 minutes (past time being acknowledged) to receive my two appetizers to-go.
Edit: The front counter attendant today me to call directly next time as they would make sure it’s ready. The customer ahead of me called to to place their order 45 min prior being told it would be ready in 20 min. The showed up and also waited an extra 20 min for their order to be ready, so placing online and calling in are revived the same.
My recommendation, don’t make yourself available to online orders if you are unable to handle the volume.

Great spot for a quick meal. Popped in for an iced coffee and pho. Everything came super quick and I was out within 30 mins. Highly recommend popping in for a quick lunch at 1130am.
