No frills Vietnamese food in a small but comfortable space on the edge of Chinatown.... The food was very fresh and authentic. Run by a local couple/family, the service was very hospitable... Prices very fair. The Vietnamese coffee was traditional slow drip and delicious. Ordered the banh mi sandwich and it was also a star... The bread was fresh baked, and had the perfect texture and softness on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. Definitely recommended.
This is my second pho experience in the district and I can 100% this one was best so far. I really enjoyed the broth and the beef was very fresh. The greens were also bright and crisp. Amazing service, definitely will come back. The pho was amazing! Note that they recently had a name change to golden river, same owner/staff. The place can be empty at times but I think it’s because the lunch crowds eats fast.
We’ve been looking for a good bowl of pho for a long time and were quite disappointed. Their menu is a mix of Cantonese and Vietnamese, we wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t recommended by my auntie. Their pho is easily the best on the island!!! You can smell the spices the second it’s brought out of the kitchen. Good portion of meat and each bite is very tasty. Service is good. Found out the owner is Vietnamese born Cantonese, hence the menu.
