We found this by mistake. It was lit up and 9pm. We enjoyed pho, beef fried rice, and banh xeo. Excellent service, clean place. Thank you!

Authentic Vietnamese restaurant. We had various food(bun Bo hue, bun rieu and other bun dishes). The Vietnamese ice coffee was very good. Excellent service. Definitely can recommend this place.

Came in at a busy time, so had to wait for a table. Service is good. Food was great - we got a combination pho, seafood pho, and calamari steak. Pho was really good - not too sugary and not too salty - just perfect.

I have never left a review before but, I do feel the need to inform others about the roaches/bugs, lack of cleanliness, and terrible service. Roach in my Pho. DISGUSTING!

The service is really great, the Pho is not bad. Avoid the Bahn Mi all together.

Got take out, Pho, and there was a Halls wrapper in the Ziplock Bag with our Sprouts, etc. Someone was SICK and touching food. Lame. I didnt want to make a fuss with other diners around, so i called to let them know. They hung up with no response.

Parking: It is a small lot,Kid-friendliness: Good kid options, especially for the "I only eat burgers" kid. The burger was really good.

I was tempted to try the spicy version of the beef stew pho (available - you just have to ask for it.) But, I let my better senses prevail and went with the regular, not spicy. Excellent taste. Huge!Will try the spicy version next time. Definitely recommended.

I have never been here before. But definitely never returning. I was sick and bought chicken pho from pho 19. I usually go to Pho Viet but I couldn't today. It wasn't terrible, but as I was finishing up I was greeted with two eyes and a couple of legs. Yup, bug in my food. I went back and politely asked for a refund and was gaslighted. I had initially spoke to a worker who then directed me to the owner (an elderly woman). I had felt bad having to explain to her that there was a roach in my food. I didn't want to embarrass her- I'm always supporting local businesses. But I'd assume they'd want to know to take better precautions, or so I thought. I had shown her the video evidence of the bug and she initially asked the kitchen to remake my chicken pho. But I wanted a refund. I asked for one again and she denied it. She told me there's "no roaches in her kitchen" and it's a "French onion". I had then responded to her politely and explained that she was wrong. It was indeed a bug. In order to get my full refund of $22. 1 chicken pho and spring rolls... she told me to bring my rubbish back. So I left and came back. She still tried to deny my refund. I was then recorded and verbally harassed. I was told I'm a "young kid causing trouble". Asked for my refund yet again, explaining that all I want is my money back for both items. Who knew if the spring rolls had bugs in them too? I was then called a "hustler" multiple times buy the first worker who greeted me. The owner accused me of putting BUGS in my own food to cause trouble. I told her I didn't want to cause a scene, she yelled at me and told me I was. As I continued to ask for my money back (all while being recorded) she finally gave back my $22. This was the worst restaurant experience ever. Ive never been treated with so much disrespect.

Absolutely delightful, ordered some beef pho and spring rolls, the pho had that standard rich broth you expect for pho, a good sized portion, spring rolls were fried until golden crispy just the way I like them, staff was friendly and very quick to get my food out to me even though it was fairly busy in the restaurant, highly recommend this spot for lunch, or post workout meal if you train across the street at the UFC gym.

It was very funny experience to eat Pho at former Korean bar! My server was very friendly and the pho was decent enough. Non sweeten broth, which was important for me who can’t tolerate sugar so well.

Probably one of the worst experience I had in my entire dining career. Food wasn’t good, the service is really bad where I saw the waiter look at me 5 times and didn’t come to me while I was raising my hand. She messed up the order and let us pay the price.
