Did a pick up order of a pho combo and pho oxtail. The combo was alright, some of the meat tasted off... the oxtail tasted old and looked terrible and only got a few small pieces with mostly fat. Couldn't finish it.

When to get my favorite dish had no tip for waitress. $19.75 for my meal. She was so rude. Never again will I go there.

**takeout order**I used their easy ordering system on their website to do a pickup order. I purchased the pad Thai, gyoza and Thai teaEverything was delicious - except the chicken. The chicken was tough and seemed well...old. Not spoiled, but a few days in the fridge after being cooked old. Pad Thai was very good otherwise and very generous serving - easily two meals or split with a friend. Next time I will ask for extra peanut sauce on the side. I love that they took care to keep the sprouts separate so they can be fresh and crunchy when you get home and it helps complete the meal.Gyoza was good and standard and came with soy sauce.Thai tea was just too delicious I'm sad I drank it down so fast.Inside was nice and bright. They were very friendly. Their parking lot had 6-7 cars so I'm very hopeful PL is here to stay after watching this location struggle in the past.Oh! I also liked the texting about pickup times, updated pickup times and then also when it's ready for you to pickup. I look forward to trying other dishes.

Pros- if you request "spicy," it's actually spicy for spicy lovers Cons- the curries are oddly and distractingly too creamy. that's the predominant flavor and texture over the spices, and i tried multiple. this must be for the caucasian palette? it's not authentic- quantity is very small and sliced very thin, even if you pay for extra meat. this goes for beef and pork. if there's vegetables in the dish, they consistently overload those over proteins- quality of meat is low and not tender - for the price point (ex: each dish is over $20), the meat portion + vegetable to meat ratio is out of handConclusion- if you are unfamiliar with thai food or are seeking a gentle introduction towards authentic thai food, you could start here. but if you're looking for authentic, not overly creamy thai food, avoid- 2 stars bc it wasn't awful. i could see people unfamiliar with thai food liking it. it was just... unusual for someone expecting authentic thai food

This is my new favorite place. The rad nar is the best I've had in town. The banh mi is definitely a repeated order of mine. I keep on coming back here and the owner is really nice to talk to.This is the spot, highly recommendedParking: Plenty of parking

So I've tried this place enough times now today that I don't recommend it as a good thai, or asian cuisine to eat at....The yellow shrimp Curry barely passes the test by the skin of its teeth and the fried rice is (,bad) just (,bad) !!Anyway I've made my final decision tonight after trying there RIBEYE STEAK which was terrible!!! Fatty, cheap cut of Steak... It was a huge slab of low quality meat...They need to get another butcher because there Steak is Low Quality...There Appetizers are also lazy and no variety and overall after my 3ard order I have to give this place a 2 star and that's only because there yellow curry isn't horrible...I do not recommend this place.

AMAZING. The oxtail Pho is delicious. The broth of the pho is very flavorful. Would go there again tomorrow but they are closed on Mondays. This is the spot.

Open seating/dining area that was clean and well lit. Good menu selections, they're expanding and will be offering hot pot soon (not sure exactly when) too! Tried their pho chicken, large bowl with decent flavoring and toppings. The broth is what I aim for and it was meh--good. Nothing new here, not bad either. Service was fast and friendly, greeted immediately. They have a lot of to-go orders!My food came out fast and fresh! Egg rolls (4) was crunchy and hot-- overall a delicious and filling dinner.

Had chicken fried rice and fresh spring rolls. Huge portion, which is nice, but was mostly just rice, not much chicken or veggie. The fried rice didn't have much flavor, but it wasn't bad. The spring rolls were ok, not great. Service was good.Edit: bumped to 3 stars because my wife's food was pretty good. Not sure what she ordered- rice noodles and beef of some sort. Still over priced, but not totally bland the way mine was.

Run. I repeat. Run. Do not walk. To Pho Lotus and get yourself a bowl of mind-blowing goodness. I have delivered some Doordash orders from here and knew it was going to hit because the broth was so fragrant. I feel like it's bringing me back to life somehow ☺️Highly recommend. I got the Pho Bo Bien and he got the Pho Tai. (Vietnamese meatball and his is beef fillet)
