We were in the mood for Vietnamese food and came across this spot online, it was my mom’s first time trying it. We mentioned this to the gentleman helping us and he gave some suggestions. We got a vermicelli noodle bowl and an order of pho. Our food came quick and the portions were generous, he even gave my mom a small bowl of pho broth to try on the side. We LOVED it! Very light but still super flavorful. My mom ate every bite—she was very happy with her meal! The man who helped us was very attentive and checked up on us frequently to make sure we were enjoying everything. At the end of our meal he gave us a Thai tea to try as well and it was also yummy!
He mentioned that this is a local, family owned business and these are the types of establishments we love to support.
The place is small but cozy and extremely clean. You can tell they take cleanliness seriously, which we appreciate.
We’ll definitely be back and recommend others in the area to check it out as well :)

The place was nice and clean and the people were nice.
We dined in to have the Pho Dac Biet, what we normally get at any Pho shop, and the broth is not flavorful at all. The serving size of the meat was so little and the bean sprouts/basil sides was lacking also in serving size. I should have known when the hoisen sauce and Sriracha bottles were no where to be seen, and only available in the small packets, which they only gave one packet of each. I had to ask for more and even then they only gave one package of each.
We also ordered take-out for our family back at the hotel and ordered the Vermicelli with Grilled pork and egg roll, and the meat was good, but the sauce it came with was very watered down.
We ordered the Banh MI with grilled pork and the serving size for the meat was very small. The bread was good, but the filling was not enough not as good as the grilled pork in the Vermicelli.
The last item we had was the Thai Tea and it was overly sweet, I couldn't finish it.
We have had pho in many places across California and the US, in Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia, so I don't know if our flavor standards are just different, but we were very disappointed.
I don't like leaving bad reviews, but we went here due to the high rating and it did not live up to the rating.

About 1.5 years new. Great location & esthetically photogenic. Just came here for the Pho, it was just perfect. The kind owner even blessed me with a on the house cold coconut H2O bev. For the sake of a fair review. All in all the location & open concept w the NBA playoffs w my Washington DC wizards is definitely the vibe woopin the Celtics. 🤭 definitely coming back for more good food at a very reasonable price & most of all for the good vibes. Highly recommend.

Just got the pho special at this place. I rarely post a comment, but I have to do it today. The place is very clean is bright. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Usually, when I come to a restaurant. If the food is good, I'll be back. If the food is not good, I'll never be back and leave no comment. The broth is good to the point that I forgot to take picture of the bowl. Will be back comeback for more and take picture.
