This restaurant is nice and clean. Pho's broth was delicious and rich for most people. As for me, the broth was alright, Fresno pho's broth is better for sure, like pho 9. Combo pho, either thin or thick noodle, is a "must get" if you like the bone rib in your Pho, for appx $17.95 and an extra $6.95 for extra brisket. Vietnamese thick noodles mixed with veggies and chicken were interesting but not my favorite. The seasoning of this dish was mostly from the standard sweet and spicy sauce with a hint of sourness in most vermicelli dry dishes. The steak stir-fried dish was almost perfect. Our first steak dish has a piece of black hair on it but was quickly dressed by the owner, and we got a new dish after 5-10 mins. The steak was juicy and delicous. Flavor on point, and yes, I would get the steak again!! Stir-fried chicken with crisy noodles was alright. It's like eating a sitr fried dish with fried noodles instead of rice. Vietnamese iced coffee was nice and strong. Fried squid was fresh and crunchy, but I could use a little more salt to the seasoning based on my palate. Services were fast and worth it. We didn't have to wait longer than 10 mins for all of the dishes to come. This place definitely received my quality, but not quantity.

During my visit, I observed that the establishment was a recently opened restaurant undergoing a soft launch. I was particularly impressed by the delightful taste and aesthetically pleasing presentation of the dishes. However, the pricing appeared to be on the higher end, which may discourage potential customers from returning. Despite this, the owners and staff demonstrated a commendable level of customer service by actively seeking feedback from patrons to enhance their offerings. I sincerely hope that this restaurant will experience continued success and growth in the future.

It's one of my favorite viet restaurants. Great good and service. Place is very clean and staffs are friendly. The portion they give you is quite generous. Can't ask anymore than that. It's a hidden gem because they're not always busy like some other over rated restaurants in the same plaza so it works to my advantage.
Kid-friendliness: They have a little scooter at the front for kids to play with.

1st time dining here. We ordered the salted calamari, papaya salad, and the pho dac biet. Pho dac biet was good while the appetizers were all right. Might give this place another try next time.
Parking: We came on a weekend and parking was kinda bad. Took 15-20 minutes to find parking.

Another trendy pho spot in the American-style. When I say American-style, what I mean is a rich, dark broth with plenty of beef tallow and seasoning from the nuoc mam, lots of meat with a rib thrown in for good measure. I personally really love this style of pho and enjoy seeing new gen Viet people adding to the food discourse. Decent price considering the large portions. The Bo Luc Lac was just OK.

Craving Vietnamese food. We tried pho, fried noodle, cha gio, coffee, and orange juice. The pho was fine, I prefer a clear broth, a little less cinnamon. The cha gio was excellent, the little noodles wrap and then fried was tasty. The fried noodle was a little thick and hard to bite, scallops would have been nice as well. Good serving sizes, nice veggies with meals, good coffee. Nice service.

I liked the vegetarian options, but my friends were less enthusiastic about their meals. I liked that there were vegetarian options for common Vietnamese dishes that weren’t just tofu.
I had the vegetarian pho xao cay, and I thought it was great. My friends had the beef soup pho and shaking beef. Pho looked good, and the shaking beef was a little underwhelming.
