I recently visited this pho restaurant and had a genuinely good experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. It’s not overly fancy or trying too hard—just a clean, comfortable spot that lets the food speak for itself.
The pho itself was satisfying. The broth had a rich, deep flavor that showed it had been simmered properly, not rushed like in some places. It wasn’t overly salty, and the spices were balanced well. The noodles were cooked just right—not too soft, not too firm—and the meat was tender and fresh. I appreciated the generous plate of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños that came on the side, allowing me to customize my bowl exactly how I like it.

The service was good overall. Staff were polite, attentive when needed, and efficient without being overbearing. They made sure the tables were clean, waters were refilled without having to ask, and food came out in a reasonable time. Nothing fancy or above-and-beyond, but definitely solid and dependable service.

The pricing was very fair, especially considering the portion size and quality of ingredients. It felt like good value for money, which is always a plus these days.

If I had to point out anything, it would be that the experience wasn’t particularly memorable—nothing that absolutely wowed me or made it feel like a “must-visit” destination. But honestly, not every meal needs to be over the top. Sometimes you just want a comforting, reliable bowl of pho, and this place absolutely delivers that.

Overall, a great spot if you're looking for good, honest Vietnamese food without any unnecessary frills. I’ll definitely be back when I'm craving a hearty bowl of pho!

Solid Vietnamese / pho restaurant. Not fancy, but pretty clean. Usually lots of parking in the parking lot. Cash only. 10% off on Tuesdays, so it makes it a great place for Tuesdat lunch!

I ordered a bbh and it is pretty good. Remember 3 stars means ok for me.

Consistent and standard. A place you can go every day. Great service.

Drove up for a quick lunch to see it was cash only. In the post COVID world even an E-Transfer option would be nice as an option. I ended up having to find somewhere else for lunch.

The food is good, not WOW as recommended by our friends. Customer service will need to improve by friendliness and hospitality of the staffs at the restaurant. They were not really smiling. Overall, I will come back

Love this place so much for the excellent food and always wonderful, friendly service with a smile. Inexpensive but great quality. Thanks thai son for a good experience everytime!

Food arrives @ resonable time.
My noodles taste as good as always.
This is one of my go-to Pho restaurant.
