Wow now the places I gave 5 stars, how do I rate this restaurant? I can’t wait to bring our friends and relatives here. Combo pho is the best yet. From where we come from there wasn’t a Vietnamese restaurant as good. The broth was to die for. All the meats were so tender, not tough and over souped to soften as other places may attempt to do.I can’t find meat this soft even at our grocery stores. Thank You!!! Added plus it the server or perhaps the owner, such a nice gentleman.

This is my favorite place because I spent most of my youth in Hanoi and being a Hanoyan. Lol. This place brings me right back to all of my favorite street food vendors. You name it: bun cha, pho ga ta, pho tron. I knew it was ligit Hanoyan food when I saw the garlic vinegar jar at the table.Dishes I recommend?? ALL OF THEM!But if you are the Hanoyan food virgin, go for the boon cha, then the mixed pho noodles. Ptsss! Ask for the ligit chili sauce. They only serve regular that. LolYou are welcome.

I loved the boon nem! Nice and crispy, huge portions! Also the man was very nice and knowledgeable about what items contain gluten. (the boon nem is gluten free!)

Saw some reviews recommending the dry mixed chicken pho and was skeptical but decided to give it a try. It turned out to be so delicious and I'm glad we tried it. All the ingredients worked together really well. The soup was a nice compliment to the dry noodles. This is a place that I will definitely visit again.

UPDATE: NO DOG ALLOWED even SERVICE DOG!Be ready leave your dog wherever.Our friends recommended this cafe because it serves the most delicious and warming Pho. If you have never tasted Vietnamese cuisine, Pho is a great dish. It is served in M ​​and L sizes, with rice noodles, greens, you can choose the types of meat (see the menu). The cafe is small, but it has enough tables. The service is friendly.

Hanoi (Northern) Vietnamese food, in the style of Turtle Tower, but leaves Turtle Tower behind in the dust. The Glassy Mixed Chicken Mien (Miến Gà Trộn) is a new one for me, made from glass (green bean) noodles which unlike your standard bun bowl are sauced and served warm, beneath a blanket of bean sprouts, fried shallots, peanuts, and cilantro. Add a few splashes of the house-made vinegar with chiles and garlic which despite its look isn't overpoweringly hot or garlicky and you've got a delicious warming bowl. Note that as the owner advises, the included side bowl of chicken broth (the same broth as used in the chicken phở) isn't intended to be added to bowl of noodles and good stuff -- it'll completely soggify the fried shallots which add a nice crunch to the dish. The chicken broth, either consumed as-is or in the bowl of austere but delicious chicken Phở is first-rate, a labor of love, according to the owner who's proud of his food and eager to help you navigate the menu.Somewhat pricier than your standard Phở joint, but definitely worth it.

Wow. The chicken combo pho was so flavorful, it is easily the best pho I’ve had in the city. The crab egg rolls were also delicious.

I came with as part of a group of 3 on a Saturday evening and it wasn't busy at all! The inside of the restaurant is nice and gives off a homey and lived-in vibe. This was my first time trying northern style pho! It was delicious, but expect to not have the bean sprouts and hoisin sauce (as well as some of the other things you would expect to get with southern style pho). The noodles are quite a bit thicker, and they had a nice soft texture. There was a jar of garlic vinegar on the side, which my party and I added to our soups. It really adds a unique flavor to the broth! I added the brisket and flank but personally couldn't really tell the difference between the two meats. It was all yummy though. I also tried to add dried shallots to my pho (I just really like dried shallots) which the waiter taking my order was insistent that it only goes with the dried noodles, and it seemed like it just went against his principles as a pho connoisseur even though I'm more than happy to pay the extra money to add it and I don't mind soggy dried shallots. I can respect his principles though, and he was nice about it (in the way that an Asian uncle is nice but stubborn about things, haha). Come for the food!

Bomb chicken pho. Their chicken pho always hits, especially after a vacation. The chicken is cooked perfectly and their lime leaves sprinkled on top is top notch. My fiancé ordered the beef pho which tasted great too.We've been here on multiple occasions now. Unfortunately their service was slow today. We came for dinner around 6 and waited about 15 mins -20 mins for our food to come out. Also due to inflation a medium bowl of pho is around $16. Comparable to many restaurants now. All in all great food, service a bit on the slower side. They should hire 1-2 more people in order to provide quicker service.

We ordered two chicken soup bowls. Nothing to rave about. We thought the soups were overpriced. They only had a bit of chicken and noodles and nothing else. I have been to other Vietnamese restaurants where they give you plenty of other vegetables with the soup. Plus they put many other spices and condiments on your table. Not this one!This place is a bit rundown with old scratched tables, old plastic fogged glasses, worn out plastic chopsticks and spoons, etc.On top of that, they don't provide any receipts at all. One wonders if they are paying proper taxes. Maybe they are. But we unusually were not presented with any receipt when we asked for the check. The server just told us how much to pay from his handheld device. A little odd.
