We came pretty early and the place was quiet; lots of parking in the lot. It was most delicious pork noodle soup I’ve ever had! The soup was clear and non greasy which is uncommon with pork broths. I ordered the H5 soup and the bowls were massive! I was about to explode by the end of it. Staff were incredibly friendly as well and very attentive! Highly recommend!

Friends recommended this for hu tieu. There are many combinations of items you can order for your bowl. Friends ordered soup and cuon. All pretty tasty, drinks are nice as well. Parking is available in their lot. Service is nice.

A little hidden spot downtown, small parking lot but there’s always parking. I come here for the hu tieu go which is 12.99 and the only place that I know of that has this version. Sorry I didn’t take pictures but I will for sure next time around. The food comes out quick and the flavors are just right. Don’t forget to try the pandan mung bean, what a great combination that will for sure hit the spot.

This was the best pho that I have ever had, I will definitely be coming back to this place again. I also choose to go there because they have free parking, other places around there had to pay to park on street.

My friend told me the food wasn't good. The ower so stingy, and not a lot customers. The ower walked out restaurant told a person moved his car. You not eating can't park a car here.

Always delicious and the service is spectacular
However, I had a severe case of food poisoning yesterday from their beef noodle. On another occasion, a friend had a milder event with the fish pho.
It only takes one horrifying incident. I will never return.
This place is great!
It is a low key place with about 12+ tables.
Our table of 4 all ordered the hieu tieu with different noodle combo
It is excellent 9/10 star
We all had the dry type with side of soup. What’s special here is you get up chose up to TWO different noodles and they have 6 GREAT choices.: original rice (banh pho), thin egg wheat noodle, thick flat wheat noodle, clear (taro starch?) noodle, large fresh flat rice, fresh banh canh (large tubular rice noodle)
I specifically had the fat flat wheat noodle and the clear noodle. Nice fresh noodles It is dressed in a nice brown sauce topped with pork meat and 2 quail egg and a large shrimp with some veggies. The flavor was excellent. The broth was also packed with flavor but very light and the pork bone also very clean taste.
Highly recommend!
I also like my other favorite hieu tieu restaurant. They are different but both excellent. This is lighter with great noodles choice.

The vegetarian pho had insects floating in it. We told the server. The kitchen told us it was just pepper, which was a bit insulting. You could see the wings on the insects! Plus my husband’s non vegetarian pho didn’t have this pepper. They said they would remake it. The pho still had insects the second time. Maybe the veggie broth was contaminated? I should have taken a photo but my instinct was to get my infant out of there so I wasn’t thinking. At least the server was kind enough to refund the dish. Needless to say, we haven’t gone back.

Delicious pho! The pho tai (called "pho filet mignon") comes in an incredibly generous portion that makes the $19 price worth it. The spices are authentic but a bit sweeter than typical. Since hoisin and sriracha sauces are already sweetened, I wish the broth wasn't. Super fast and kind sercice with refreshing ice water refilled often. Tons of indoor seating and covered outdoor patio seating.

We love to get noodle soup at this spot. Satisfying and comforting food! You can ask for either broth style or soup on the side. Either way they are both really good and the bowl size is huge. The service is usually quick. But this time they were a bit busy so the wait wasn’t too bad. Food came out pretty quick. Felt this time they skimped out a lot on the protein portion. Parking area is a bit crammed here because of the location. Vietnamese noodle soup is worth coming for. Will give it another chance!
