Nice vibe but the wait is quite long for the food to arrive. I ordered Pho, it had good flavor though, I recommend it but I didn't realize the meat was still on the bone. I ordered shrimp spring roll another time and it was okay, there weren't a lot of things inside the roll. The staff were pleasant and nice. The restaurant was busy, it was full when I walked in and people ordered take out as well.

Parking: Free parking lot just outside of the restaurant.

I ordered a take out and paid on-line. Went to pick up and restaurant doesn't have my order. After a while, things have figured out (restaurant's fault). Been told food is ready in 5 - 8 minutes. I waited 15 minutes and get inpatient. Finally I went home and one dish I ordered was missing.
There 3 - 4 Vietnamese restaurants near me (15 minutes driving). I don't go to this one often because the food vs price is average. 2 major mistakes in one order make it 1 star.
By the way, I ordered extra large PHO ($2 extra) and it seems like regular size.

The people are nice. The food is OK. Vermicelli bowl - cold pork but recently cooked (warm) chicken. Tiny eggroll which quickly turned mushy in the sauce. Fresh veggies. Ok sauce. So it'll do in a pinch.

This might be great for pho as the broth was good but the spring rolls were somewhat lacking and the bahn mi were pretty bad (ordered two different ones and would not get them again) - they're on a roll instead of a baguette making them too bready, overloaded with mayo-based sauce, pretty low quality meat, and the wrong kinds of pickles.
Good for a quick bite but avoid the sandwiches.

We are well serviced. The price here is worthy for its meal and service. The pho is very delicious. They mix Vietnamese and Peru cuisine together and I can’t wait to try them next time.

One of the best quality Phó I've had. Broth was hot and delicious and the food was delicious. Staff was very friendly and very nice as well. Highly recommend dining in.

Our go-to spot for Pho outside of Westminster! The food is always excellent here. Aside from the banh mi, my boyfriend and I typically get the pho tam cali special and it hits the spot every time. The portions here are very generous and the broth is super flavorful. The staff are also very friendly as well. Not sure what his name is but one of the male servers with the arm tattoo is always so friendly and is very attentive!

This place was good when it first opened but unfortunately it didn’t maintain quality.
The bahn me had disproportionate ingredients and a big part of the chicken was skin!
My plate was missing an egg although they confirmed it came with one!
They increased the prices this year and definitely decreasing the quality. Food is def overpriced!
Also the person who prepped the bahn me was chewing gum and had a lot of make up on. Not hygienic at all.
This place is so convenient but due to the decreasing food quality I will no longer get food from here.
For management: please address the hygiene issue ASAP. It is against regulation to chew gum & wear make up while prepping food in a commercial place.
