Went with a group of 5, very good and fast service. Food is amazing as well. Highly recommend the veggie egg rolls!
Edit: 3rd time this month and the Bahn Mai with Pork and Fried egg is my favorite!

The waiter was extremely rude. The service was awful. He litterally threw the menu on the table for us to look at. What a shame to waste such a good location on this awful service.i do not recommend this location to anyone.

I went the other night with my daughter, there were only two other customers, we get our food and our server disappears we need drinks refilled I turn around to look for our server and they eating?!? Are you kidding me... You only have two customers in your empty restaurant don't you think you should have taken care of them... But no you sit there eating with plenty of drink... Rude and unprofessional... Then while I'm waiting for a drink that never came something started biting my leg and itching very bad I got up paid my bill and left only to hurt myself on the way out by the big black table they have at the entrance.... It was dark and right in the way of the exit... I will never go back but I will be talking too an attorney about my injury

Went to eat today with my family because we were visiting the area. Food was ok. The server/host had the craziest attitude tho.
Really nice place with very accommodating staff. Indoors is a bit tight but when not too hot outdoor space makes up for it. Food was very good and served quickly. The meats were very well grilled and had a nice char to it. Will try the soups next time as they looked delicious coming out but had the noodles already ordered

Food is OK but the service is really bad. The server disappeared after delivering the food. We had to go inside to ask for the bill and a plate to take away the left over food. In addition you can not pay at your table and have to inside as well. Overall the staff is not friendly and not polite. Do not go there if expect a friendly service.

It was a very bad experience. After asking about the hotel closing at 10 o'clock, the waiter still urged us to leave at 9: 30 and told us that they were going home. They didn't live there. I understand the feeling of wanting to go home after work, but I can't leave during the meal time. Besides, I haven't finished my noodles. I met such a restaurant for the first time.

Pho broth tastes like tap water! Zero flavor! I have never had any pho this bad in my entire life! Only the atmosphere is kinda fun! I throw half bowl away...😔 How on earth can this place stay in business?

Service was fine. But the pho had to much msg, or I might be more sensitive, but got a huge headache after.

⭐☆☆☆☆ If you want to feel like an unwelcome stray dog, this is the place for you.
From the moment we asked for extra onions, we were treated with hand gestures instead of words — as if we didn’t deserve verbal communication. The older man (I hesitate to call him a “server,” as there was no actual serving involved) gestured at us to wait, never returned, and made us feel like we were begging for scraps.
When we tried to speak to him again, he ignored us completely and took a phone call instead. It was surreal — like watching someone perform a one-man show called “How to Dismiss Your Customers Without Saying a Word.”
The only redeeming person in this entire experience was the younger server, who looked visibly stressed and uncomfortable. I genuinely felt bad for them, having to work under someone who seems to have mistaken hostility for hospitality.
Not once did they check on us, not once did we feel welcomed, and even asking for a Coke felt like we were doing something wrong. Naturally, we didn’t leave a tip — and instead of self-reflecting, the older man scoffed that we “don’t think about the server” and waved us away like pests.
If that’s the kind of treatment this restaurant thinks is acceptable, maybe they should put a sign up front:
“Customer service not included. Gratitude expected anyway.”
