The wings looked terrible and came out ten minutes after our pho. I bit one and it was as bad as it looked. Completely overcooked and hardly any meat on them. After sending them back to the kitchen another staff came over to say that we would still be charged half price for them and did we still want to eat them… after they had been sent back and sitting in the kitchen for another 5 minutes? No thanks. The pho itself was generally bland. We knew we should have left when we got there and there were no sauces on the table… at a Vietnamese restaurant. Yikes. They were actually out of chili oil and only had store bought sriracha and hoisin sauce. I felt bad for the first server we had bc she was super nice, but the wing situation and lackluster customer service along with the bland noodles was a real disappointment. YOU’LL BE MUCH BETTER OFF AT PHO- VY

Ugh. I was more than willing to skip writing a review and look pass the bland soup broth, flavorless chili oil, dirty table, and funky smelling bathroom, BUT then we had this experience:

Our server (receipt says Pauline) was friendly , we were greeted upon entry, which I always appreciate. The real plants and minimal decoration gave the restaurant a cute vibe. I ordered a large veggie pho it was only $1 more than the regular. My sister ordered the large rare steak pho. We also ordered the chicken wings…which were more like teeny tiny chicken bone with a nibble bite size of dry shriveled meat on them (they came 20 minutes after we ordered).
We politely asked to return the chicken wings. The server came back to us saying we had to pay 50% of the wings because they were already cooked. We did not argue, simply stated our disappointment, explained why we were returning the wings, and continued eating our pho.
The bill came, and yes, we were charged $6 for wings we did not touch nor take away with us. Never have I ever experienced returning a food item and being told to pay half - even if I had already eaten some of the item. My hope is that the supervisor realizes what a rude concept that is, deducts that $6 charge and gives it to our server as tip. Not her fault the cooks are serving uneatable food.

THE FOOD:
Chicken Wings with fish sauce - DON’T YOU DARE. Smallest chicken wings I’ve ever seen. A few had strange discoloring. Very dry over cooked and shriveled. Upon looking at it, I dare not touch it. Sent back to kitchen, was still charged 50%.

Veggie Pho - liked that there was fried and soft tofu, plenty of veggies. Broth was bland af. Didn’t taste any kind of beef bouillon or seasoning. Had to use plenty of oyster sauce and sriracha to minimally enjoy the meal.

Rare steak Pho - bland broth. Steak a bit overcooked.

Bad service. I went with my wife and they had 3 tables dirty and one table that was shared with another couple available so the lady said we could go to the shared one and I said we would wait for a table to be cleaned so she said okay and we waited. The lady came back and told us her boss said she is to busy to be cleaning tables so we could sit at the shared one because she doesnt have time to clean any tables. It was very rude we were willing to wait.

First time here and it'll be our last. A few of us order pho and ask for Chilli oil and was limited because they don't want to waste. Like why would we ask if we didn't want it. After that the server never came back.

I had vermicelli noodle dish. It was very fresh with crisp veggies and a delicious broth and dressing to top it. One of my favorite dishes ever! Their egg rolls were also delicious!

I usually like PhĂ´ Hut but the last time I went, the usual sides you get with the phĂ´ wasn't included. All we got was bean sprouts and a lemon wedge. I don't know if they were out of the other stuff or if they were just cutting back on costs. It's just soup without all the other herbs and veggies.

WTF ISthis

Giving this 4 stars because they didnt have chili oil for my pho, which is my favorite. Besides that this is a flavorful pho broth. The large is a good amount of food. The servers were nice and attentive. They have beers too which go great with pho.

Amazing pho! The beef broth was very rich and hot, if there is any place to get pho in town, it’s this place. Also very kind staff!

If your looking forward to a friendly server definitely not the place to go. My first time here and I didn’t even get greeted but the man behind got greeted. I had questions on the menu and my server seemed bothered, I was asking and was walking away from my table as I was asking. So I ordered and it wasn’t what she told me it was and what I wanted. Then I’m given a serving spoon not a eating spoon and she was bothered I asked for a fork or smaller spoon. Over the food I got was very good. Just not what i was expecting.
