Pho Element is a restaurant known for its Northern Vietnamese style pho and high-quality meals. The short rib vermicelli noodle bowl is a standout dish, and the bbq pork vermicelli noodle bowl is also popular. The Pho comes in large sizes and is highly regarded. Imperial rolls are a must-try. The food is very flavorful, and many customers appreciate the kid-friendliness of the restaurant. Some areas may appear cluttered with kitchen supplies, but the service is quick and the staff is attentive and helpful. Guests have had great experiences with the seafood soup with coconut milk and beef brisket. The restaurant has a good reputation for consistency and offers special dishes from time to time. Visitors often enjoy the northern style pho, such as Pho ga, and appreciate the hot tea served right after seating, a tradition from northern Vietnam. The place also offers delicious appetizers like Butter Tofu and Pork Spring Roll, which are highly recommended. The bathroom may be a bit messy, but the dining area is very clean, and the friendly staff makes every visit pleasant.
