Really good food, portions and friendly service. We really like the Bun Cha Hanoi and would come back again for $18-19 per person. Great portions with plenty of meat, veggies and vegetables. This is one of the best Vietnamese places I gave eaten that is great quality, value and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

The Che Thai dessert is pretty good too and not too sweet 😀

Best neighborhood pho place; the pho is multilayered with just the right balance of spices and a good dose of salt. Great for post-run sustenance or if you have a cold. Good vermicelli bowls and rice plates, too. Always busy with all kinds of people, so you don't have to take the word of a white lady that it's pretty darn good.
Plus, it's an old Sizzler, and they've done pretty well in converting it, but you can still see a little bit of the old Sizzler underneath. I love how our neighborhoods evolve.

I've been eating at this location for around a decade, and this is definitely one of my comfort restaurants. I always order either #1 to #5 pho bowls, and they're all amazing and intensely flavorful (in a good way). The spring rolls are delicious as well! The food also does come out pretty fast, which is impressive; it's a less than ten minute wait. There is a bathroom near the entrance and a few tvs, plus i think a fish or two. The atmosphere is kind of cozy, and they're always playing on the radio 96.5 KOIT! This place is a bit expensive but I do recommend it! Hope you have a great time there!

Absolutely love this spot. The pho, spring rolls, egg rolls are all fantastic. Love the coconut juice that goes well with the food. Spacious restaurant, great service, and reasonable prices. My boyfriend and I love this spot so much we eat here almost every week!

So I used to come here a lot before the pandemic. I finally returned here to try the pho again once more. Let's just say I finished my bowl again lol. This pho restaurant has amazing broth and options. I usually get the chicken pho or beef ball. It always delicious here. The service was wonderful.
I will come back again when I get the chance again.
Thank you Ao Sen Albany!
