If you're craving real pho during Phoenix's scorching summer, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. I've eaten here many times in the past decade and usually enjoyed their pho, but my recent visit was disappointing.
It was around 5 PM and over 100 degrees outside—the restaurant was nearly empty. We ordered two bowls of pho, but the quality just wasn’t there. The broth was overwhelmingly full of MSG, with no depth or richness of real meat flavor. To make it worse, one bowl came with green onion and onion garnish, while the other was just plain broth and noodles—seriously? I know what authentic Vietnamese food tastes like. I've overlooked some things before, like how they place chairs on tables while customers are still eating, but this experience felt careless and dishonest. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

I'd recommend their sizzling stir fry beef dish, meat is so tender and delicious

Great, very authentic

The beef combo pho was flavorless. Tasted like water. Add to this the fact that our table was missing all of the necessities, spoons, siracha, hoison, etc.. and the service was dreadful. No thanks.

The broth had very little flavor so I wish that was better but it was still good. The service and restaurant were great.

seats and tables were clean and the eggrolls were decent. the beef stew dish was excellent. but the sprouts they brought to the table had long expired
The beef stew is what I always get, and it NEVER disappoints! This is what I recommend... There are employees there who need to remember to wash their hands after they sneeze! The bathroom is always dirty, so maybe they might actually clean it? Would be so much appreciated!

I ordered the #4 Chicken Pho and it was horrible. The broth tasted like they added water and salt last minute before serving it. I was basically eating ocean water with chicken slices in it. The pork spring roll was way to rubbery and grainy. I didn't eat any of my food.

Very good place! My friend Sorin introduced me this year and we ve come 3 times already and it’s over 30 minutes from my house…. Love the Pho 🍜 soup and the pork sandwich!!! And the Thai coffee but that’s pretty good anywhere I go! Definitely worth a try.
Made me think of all the viet restaurants I’d eat at growing up. Pretty no-frills inside — but that’s what I like!! Bun bo hue was some of the best I’d had in a long time, and the iced coffee was strong. Highly recommend!

Good amount of pork in the bahn mi. 4 stars only because the bread and mayo overtook the flavor.

Your traditional amazing hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. This is my GO TO for spring rolls, pho, vermicelli, anything is good on their menu.
The big pho bowls are perfect for having 2 meals or 1 really big one and the broth is so flavorful. The prices are great and the staff is so hardworking.
