Based on the online reviews, this place is one of the top-rated spots in the area, and it definitely lived up to expectations. The food was very good, and the service was excellent — warm and gentle. Highly recommended.

The food was amazing, very hot and a lot of food for the price. I was not able to finish the house special but it was just as good the next day. The veggies were very fresh and the noodles and meat were great. The broth itself was amazing!
The Thai tea and beef rolls were fantastic, I had to order another Thai tea to go because I couldn’t get enough!
The flavor of the food was great and it is definitely one of my new favorite spots for pho. Will and have recommended to anyone looking for a good authentic pho spot!

Came in for lunch for the first time and it was a great choice. We had the house special pho. It was loaded with noodles, beef, tendon, and meatballs. Great taste and also had the fried egg rolls, super crispy with a great taste and the veggies were pickled very delicious. The owner was very tentative and the portions are very generous. Overall this place is amazing, will definitely come by again.

I was looking for a pho restaurant near me because I wanted to try a new place. This one popped up on google so I came and I got a house special pho. To be honest with you, I did not like it at all. I’m not here to bash on this restaurant, but I know when something tastes all right to the point where I can eat it and when something tastes like what is this? I literally could not finish my plate because the taste was just not it. The meats had a weird aftertaste when I would take a bite into the meats from the pho. The noodles were falling apart from the fork as I was even trying to put them in my mouth. The taste was still not good even though i had added a lot of hot sauce and lemon to it. I don’t know if it was reheated pho from the day before or microwaved, but it is very pricey for the quality. Then the cashier looks at me weird and tells me “you have to pay for your food still” after i told him i did not like the pho and I was not going to eat it. Of course I was going to pay for it. I was just telling him that something was off with the plate of pho he served me and it needed to be reevaluated because the aftertaste of the meat was not unbearable. I paid almost $25 for a plate of pho and a small Thai tea. For the quality of the food in this restaurant, the full price should go down to at least $12-$13 for a plate of pho here. I don’t think the quality of pho here is worth $20 like they have the plates priced here at this restaurant. I’m not bashing this restaurant but I have gone to better restaurants where the pho tastes fresh and I only pay around $12 for my plate of pho. I dont end up paying $20 like over here. I just want them to be aware that their food needs to be upgraded a little or I don’t know what they need to do to their pho but I was not able to finish my plate here. I usually finish a whole plate of pho when i go out snf eat but this time I had to leave my plate almost full because my stomach was feeling a little bit off after. I felt like a little nauseous after i ate here, I’m not gonna lie.

#V-8. Bun Cha Gio Dry Noodle with a Iced Milk French Pressed Viet Coffee.
1st time trying this newer Local hole-in-the-wall Viet spot. Its in The Hood though, the area is Calm and Safe now since I was last here years ago.
Plenty of Parking in a Strip Mall Setting in the corner of the plaza.
Reataurant was super Clean.
I didnt use the Restroom to see how it was.
Hospitable Server aims to please, greets you upon entering. Offered Suggestions.
Place was empty except for one guy going to town on a large order with several bowls. A good sign.
Food came out Super Fast. I got the Bun Cha Gio Heo Chao Tom - Dry Noodle (#V-8). One of The Best and Fresh Tasting ive had in awhile👌. Comparable to what one would expect in OC's Little Saigon.
This is definitely a Gem on their Menu. I'll have to come back later and try the rest of their Menu.
Their Coffee was good tasting. It wasnt horribly filled to capacity with Ice such as at LEE'S SANDWICHES.
But it was lackluster concerning packing that punch of liquid adrenaline.
My Total was $25.13 and I left $7- for TIP.
This place so far is definitely not one to miss!!!

I’ve been to this place many times and it always hits the spot. One of my favorite things to get here is the shaken beef (photo included). It’s very yummy and tastes like it’s made with lots of love which makes the meal taste even better! Service is amazing which makes this restaurant top tier.

Such a delicious Vietnamese pho spot! I ate way too fast and totally forgot to take pictures. The shrimp rolls tasted so fresh, almost like they were made right in front of me—absolutely amazing. The pho itself was flavorful and fragrant. Best of all, the owner was super nice and welcoming. What a happy Friday!
Strong recommend!👍👍👍

I went in and immediately had to leave. There were so many flies in the restaurant, but the workers were very nice in the few seconds I was inside. Maybe in the winter I can go.
