It's a pretty solid Vietnamese restaurant in the area with really good soup as well as good beef cube steak! Service is pretty solid as well. When we went there was not too many people almost near empty. The sauce is on. The steak was actually sweet and tangy but the salad was very generic and tomatoes felt flat... I do appreciate the soup that it comes with too which is sweet and not too heavy with MSG. The egg rolls while there's only three do fill you up.

This used to be my favorite Pho beef noodle house, because of the big portions and the great prices. Now the prices have increased $5 per bowl and for every item you order take out for, there is a .78 cents surcharge per item. I was really disappointed because I ordered spring rolls and it was mostly lettuce and the sprouts that came with the noodle soup were slimy. I couldn't eat the sprouts or mint because it was slimy. I'm sorry, but I cannot go here again. I hope they use this review as a way to improve.

Pho is good and the big size is actually pretty big. Service is fine - they bring your dish and leave. Space is clean with plenty of seating.

TL;DR: The meat melts in your mouth. Come here for the Pho and possibly the Bun Bo Hue. parking:- generous parking in a large plaza. wait time:- was seated immediately and the food came out piping hot in a matter of minutes. ambiance:- a slightly more modern version of TK Noodle. service:- fast. food:[Worth It] - Pho, medium-sized: if you're a very hungry female, then a medium size would be perfect. Otherwise, you could probably share a medium and large bowl with another person. The broth was perfectly seasoned and was complimented with melt-in-your-mouth meat. - Bun Bo Hue, medium-size only: came with the usual veggie add-ons and chewy thick white noodles and melt-in-your-mouth meat. The broth was under-seasoned but it still ranks as one of the best restaurant-made bun bo bue I've tried. The best I've had is my mom's version, and that's a high standard that would be difficult to beat. - Salted Plum Drink: tastes similar to a salted lemon drink. Tasted great as the salt and the sparkling water balanced out the drink nicely. restroom:- It was surprisingly a very clean and spacious experience. The only hope I have is that they will spend the extra $6 to upgrade their soap dispenser to something more clean and aesthetically appropriate.

I ordered the bun bo hue. I had pho a week ago and wanted to switch it up. Their's is pretty good especially for a pho shop. The beef slices were tender and I liked chunks of tendon. No blood cubes or hock meat but I expected that. The broth was a little too sweet and I wanted more lemongrass flavor though. I would still recommend it if you were here.

I usually go for the Pho Gha ( Chicken noodle soup) with fresh noodles. It’s hot and nice kind of salty with lot of chicken. Very nice for cold weather and hydrates well. Would recommend to try once.

Came here last Friday because I heard their filet mignon pho was good. I got the Pho Special and it was solid. Some of the meat seemed dry though.Service was fine. They got our orders and gave us water.Parking was easy as the plaza does not seem to be that busy. There was no wait and was relatively empty as we came in around 11:30am.
