It’s good pho if you’ve never had soup or Vietnamese food ever lol. Asian cuisine in the central coast is already scarce, let alone GOOD Asian cuisine. This pho tasted like the poor recreation of someone who had decent pho in the Bay Area or SoCal one time in their life. Sadly, it’s one of the two only Vietnamese restaurants within an hour of Santa Maria so I don’t blame the lack of comparison to actual good pho. The tripe, tendon, and meatball was undercooked and chewy. The pho did not come out steaming and the bowl was barely warm. You also pay for your food at the entrance first before you get it unlike most Vietnamese restaurants. The gen z workers had a bored attitude despite only servicing at the cashier and the one and only time they’ll come to your table which is to drop off the food. However, despite lacking everywhere else, the seating area and decor was very pleasant to look at. Overall, just get Thai food in 5 Cities

The best PHO spot in the 805. And this is coming from someone who grew up in both LA County and Orange County.
ALSO for all the uncultured folks, PLEASE STOP ASKING FOR A TO GO BOX for your left over PHO. That is absolutely frowned upon. It's idiotic to even do so. It's the dumbest thing anyone could do. SMFH...

Very tasty Pho, bbq, and vermicelli Vietnamese dishes. Located next to Subway in a small mall on Main St just west of 101 N entrance. Eat in or takeaway.

This place is about as get-down ethnic when it comes to food, atmosphere, and service. No need to travel to Vietnam or Cambodia for pho when you've got it right here!

That's the last time I tip at all pho. Every time I try to order to go. I get put on hold for 10+ minutes. This time when I came in to pay they told me it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I go up to the counter and ask for an update and they pull my order off of a shelf. Who knows how long it was there without them saying anything. Food is 10/10. Service is 2/10 consistently bad every time.

Just walked in, followed the line that was winding left and next to the bar area, it was raining outside previously and I was holding my 1 year old daughter happy to be inside to keep her warm while we wait to order. As a veteran, I never asked once for a discount from this place even though they offer one as I really enjoyed their food and wanted to support them. Owner came out from the side kitchen area and screamed at my 1 year old daughter and I to move away from the table and that "they don't want you next to them when they are eating" as if I was disgusting. I can't put into words her expressions while telling me to move and not suggesting anywhere that was acceptable for me to stand. I was not even within arms reach of their table. I think this is my 2nd google review in over 15 years, this was the worst I have ever been treated at any establishment ever and to be holding my 1 year old while she does it was hard to stomach. Will not be returning and incredibly dissapointed.

A must-go. Great pho for great price!! For those that are spicy food enthusiasts, TAKE IT EASY ON THE CHILI OIL!!! It looks innocent but the tiniest amount with wreck your world! It’s so delicious though…I can’t help myself every time.
Seating is hard to come by at times, it’s very informal. But the food is definitely worth it!
The food here is absolutely addicting. I CRAVE this every week. The atmosphere is cozy, staff is friendly and quick to serve you your food. Speaking of food, the pho and spring rolls are delicious. I always go with extra beef for my pho. Whenever I come here it isn’t too crowded and there’s plenty of seats, including I think 5 tables and a counter/bar. Anyways, this place gets a five star. One of my fav food places. ❤️

Tried this place again. 2 years have passed and I was hopeful. It was definitely better than before. The ghost pepper wings are crazy crazy hot. Preferred the hoisin ones. The pho was better too. The noodles were gummy last time, they were good this go around. Not the best pho but for around here it is. Will likely return.
