Service is great and the atmosphere is great. However, it all comes down to the food and the food is simply not the best. ( In my opinion ).

Delicious food and fast service! It took me longer to eat my food than it did for them to make it. We were seated right away and our water was already on its way.

I was so looking forward to this. I was hoping to have a new pho place, but I'm never going back there. How you can screw up pho is beyond my comprehension. Cute little outdoor seating is unusable by obnoxiously loud roadway. I had chicken pho it was so tough it couldn't have been chicken. The rice noodles were stuck together in a large clump. It tasted all right, so I gave it two stars instead of one but the only reason I would go back is if I left something there. Too bad. They have a huge menu with a lot of different dishes. Perhaps some of those were better, but when you're called House of pho and you can't handle chicken pho I just shake my head. And it was expensive.

My family and I decided to try this place for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Despite it not being busy, the service was horrible. The woman with the ponytail, who others have mentioned, was particularly rude. When I asked her about a drink another customer had, she laughed in a very disrespectful way and simply said, “No, don’t have that.” It was off-putting to say the least.

The food, while looking good, lacked flavor. I ordered the chicken pho and only managed a few bites before I had to put it down—it just wasn’t tasty. To top it off, the prices were quite high for food that wasn’t good. On a positive note, their smoothies were actually pretty good. But overall, the poor service, lackluster food, and overpriced menu made for an unpleasant experience. Would not recommend.

The service is really bad. Rude staff. The food is decent. And the price is OK. The staff did not say hi or bye. Never coming back.

My boyfriend and I have been here a handful of times and the food has always been really good. We continue to come back because it’s some of the best pho we’ve had. But we’re getting really tired of the poor service. Particularly by the woman who has a long ponytail usually. She is incredibly rude. And not just to us, we’ve seen her be rude to other customers as well. She also clearly doesn’t care or pay attention with orders because she’s messed ours up and we’ve seen her mess others up but when asked for the right items, she is visibly annoyed and acts like it’s the customer’s fault. When in reality she just want to go back to sitting on her phone which is literally all she does the whole time if she’s not taking orders. And she will also talk crap about customers when she’s annoyed, she did it about us and another woman whose order got messed up last time we were there. It’s unfortunate because the food is really good and it’s cute inside but her whole demeanor makes it really hard to want to sit and enjoy the food and I personally don’t feel pho is properly enjoyed if taken to go. The woman who just had a baby who works there is SO sweet and is the saving grace of this place, they’re very lucky to have her and chefs that cook well. We’re hesitant to go back again because we’re over the poor service and might look elsewhere for pho.

If you are paying in cash here, please check the change exactly!☹️
Is she the boss? She shouldn't work at the counter if she's not the boss. She doesn't know how to calculate the money.

The older female employee looks busy. But there were no customers in the store. She came to take a order, I told her it was her first visit, but she looked like she didn‘t understand. I asked her what beef noodles were, and she said the menu on the left was all beef noodles.
She urged me to place an order, and I made an urgent order. It was delicious. The different employee was kind.

I submitted my cash at the count, She gave me all her change for a 25 cents.
But she made a mistake, and I went to the counter and asked her, and she saw that the change was not correct and gave it back to me. But that’s wrong, too. I taught her to numbers. She gave me more money again. I don‘t know if it’s a mistake or if it‘s intentional. She didn’t look sorry, she didn‘t even say sorry. If she couldn’t calculate the coins, she could pay me with dollar from the beginning.
but I don‘t understand she gave me all the coins.
