All is okay really. Not bad but not incredibly amazing either. Prices are pretty good its not stupid expensive, portions are good. Lots of meat in the beef pho. Chicken plate is loaded and they give a good portion of rice unlike most places. Even down south.

Feel like your coffee from this place is all ice? A bit appalled by the amount of liquid actually in this drink when served without ice. C’mon, guys.

This WAS our Favorite place to eat. We drive 30 min to order the same thing all the time. We thought they were always nice. We went tonight and ordered the shaking beef like we always do with extra sauce and extra meat and we always pay the extra money for the extra. Today when I got home, we went to try to eat it, and lt was completely inedible. The meat was so chewy and was all fat we could not eat it. We always have been under the assumption that it was filet mignon. The website even says that it is filet mignon. As you can see in the picture, it is definitely not filet mignon. When I called and I brought this up to the manager, she said that we always call and complain And that they have our name in the phone as” The people who always complain”. I could not believe that she admitted this to me. I just can’t even believe how incredibly rude that is and it makes me wonder how many times did we order from them? With them, calling us, the people who always like to complain 🤔 I have only called one other time in five years of eating there to complain about the exact same problem. I even told them that their website says that the food is supposed to be filet mignon. And they said that they changed it from filet mignon a long time ago because the filet mignon was too expensive. But yet they never changed the price they gave customers cheaper meat!!!! They never told us at that time that they changed the meat from filet mignon. They just gave me a refund that time (a year ago) and apologized. If they change the meat and it wasn’t filet mignon anywhere, they could’ve just told us that and we would’ve never kept going there. I’ve always been completely nice to them. I even tip very good to them. So to be treated like this is just completely horrible. I asked them for a refund. They refuse to give me a refund. They told me that I need to drive it there. I told him that I live 30 minutes away and that I promise them that I will never Go back there again. They still refuse. Good thing I paid with My American Express. REFUND PENDING FROM AMEX!! Always pay with your credit card!! FOR THIS EXACT REASON!!

As someone who loves pho, I was happy to find this place open and offering pho! The pho satisfied my cravings but isn't necessarily the best I have ever had (slim pickings for pho in the SLO area). I also liked their avocado smoothie and thought the spring rolls were ok. I will be back here for more pho.

Friendly staff and quick service. The tofu banh mi is a cheap and delicious vegetarian option. You really can't find a better meal for 10 bucks in SLO. The restaurant is clean and the environment is nice, low key music and you can see straight into the kitchen.

I was really excited to try the Shaking Beef based off of others' reviews. I also ordered the garlic rice. It comes with a generous pint portion of plain rice, so you don't need to order rice. I wish they would let you upgrade to garlic rice for an extra $2-3 or something because I don't need the plain rice. Sadly, I was disappointed. Something was missing. The flavor was actually bland. The presentation was good. There were generous potions of rice, veggies, and I like the amount of sauce, but it didn't really have flavor. I don't understand how you could make a dish that has soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce and it taste bland? Maybe they are using vegan products? I got more flavors from the onions than the sauce. The meat was tender, but also not flavorful. So sad that I cannot give it a better review. I forgot to snap a photo at the beginning, so this is half eaten with garlic rice added to cover the gap.

My girlfriend and I decided to give this place a shot as it looked good online. Went in and received welcoming service. The food is reasonably priced, tastes great, and fresh. In construction there's a saying speed quality or price pick two as no one gets em all yet this restaurant nailed all three. This is our new regular spot.

Love this spot. Great pho, they always smile when they see my kids (2 & 3 yo) running around in the resturant.

We had the chicken pho, the broth was plan and lacking flavor. No options to spice up the pho. Tasted like chicken was cooked then frozen and de thawed and seved. You know that little freezer taste. Place is very clean and people are friendly.
Foods here are really delicious. Its kind of fast food fusion style. vegetables that go along with dish are so fresh and premium quality. We normally eat Pho and pork chops rice. But today we eat shaking beef and parmesan fries and its shocking delicious.

Can ' t give a rating . I had hoped to go there on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day , but they were closed both days . I was quite surprised . So anyone wanting Pho or Spring Rolls or other Vietnamese food will have to try it for yourself .

The portion was huge even for teen boys and the pho, the grilled pork, the pork ribs and spring rolls were all authentically delicious. The owner even made sure the food presentation was on par with a sit-down restaurant although this place is a fast casual. Just delicious and what a gem!
