I go for the car wash here. They Wash your car by hand and they do a good job. They also apply wax and other services. I have been coming here for a very long time. I took food to go once. Spring rolls were really really good.

The food is always awesome.I used to get pork blood in my chicken pho, but now I mostly get spring rolls and combination beef phoThe service is always weird.Sometimes you get someone that speaks a little bit of English, and sometimes you get someone that just points out, says one or two words. Tell them the number on the menu connected to the food words. Do not ask them questions. And do not send food back. You will give them a meltdown. I have seen it before. I've never done it, but I've seen other people do it before, like it's their first time in the world. And talking louder and slower doesn't help them understand anything you're saying. Again, I don't do it, but I've seen some people in our community doing it, and it makes me sad. But just to be clear, there also only advertising that they are hiring in Korean, so if you don't know Korean, they probably aren't going to hire you.The atmosphere is always bare bones...Vibe: a soup kitchen in Korea.The tables have been there since they opened, and you can tell by the way they are worn out that some of the employees have used the wrong chemicals LOL, but I have never gotten sick. This isn't a place to bring a first date unless you are really trying to see how Posh they are. This place is not fancy it is just for eating it is not for social media pictures, and it is not for food vlogging.It is defined as one of the most popular car washes and chicken noodle soup spots in Modesto.Parking: When you pull in you're going to want to pull in on the South Side Drive-In and you're going to want to go to the far right around the vacuums for the car wash there is parking along the back wall and there is parking along the north side but do not park in front of the vacuums because it clogs up the route to go to the actual parking lot.I am so sick of seeing all these doordash and Uber Eats drivers parking in the driveway and clogging up the entrance like arrogant Karens.

I love coming here for Pho and egg rolls. Be careful in the parking lot as there is a really big dip in front of the car wash. Is this place a car wash or a restaurant? Both? Anyway the food is really good and some of the best pho in town. You'll always leave full with leftovers. We got two large bowls of pho and an order of egg rolls. Costs 38 dollars, and I felt like we got our moneys worth.

Food was not good did not seem fresh probably reheated meat and shrimp on my meal.I probably ordered the wrong thing. Everyone around me was eating pho and seem to be enjoying it. The servers were very matter-of-fact didn’t seem to have time to be polite which is fine. Just bring me some decent food that’s not overly cooked and dry. Thank you. I am not from this area so I won’t be back anytime soon.
