Last time I went here 10 years ago or so my pho had bugs in it. They tried to tell me it was pepper. Pepper doesnt have legs. Decided to try them again since it had been so long. It's now 2026. I got the chicken pho the chicken didn't taste like chicken and the texture was off and the look of it was old the broth tasted burnt and there was black chunks in the broth and it smelled so bad had high hopes tossed it all bc it was so bad won't be going back ever again. I think the health dept needs to inspect them.

Great food and great service. Clean place with a very wide variety. None of us had had this kind of food and we all found something we liked on the menu. Highly recommend giving them a chance to expand your horizons.

Delicious Pho. Had the meatball pho and gave it some extra spirit with hoisin and sriracha! Lovely people and clean dining area.

I've visited multiple times. It's my favorite Vietnamese place in CR. It's a family owned and run business, they are so very sweet explaining anything on the menu to you, or making substitutions to get just exactly the flavor you're looking for.

Hidden gem. Quite clean and great food. We ate at 3 PM and the food was fresh and tasty. The sign out front is small but the food inside has big flavors.

Such a pleasant stop before/after the hospital!
When we entered we were immediately greeted and seated.
The place was nice and clean and the woman attended to us right away.
The food was very tasty, I ordered a combination pho and my friend ordered a veggie plate.
The check came at a nice time and we enjoyed the candy they had at checkout. The woman who rang us up was so sweet!
We will be coming here again since I anticipate more hospital visits :)

Not good at all. I don’t understand why this place has such good reviews. The food was straight up bad mine was just coconut milk with shrimp in it, that’s it. Idk what my partner even got his was worse. It was dirty inside and the decor looks like it came from dollar store. Service wasn’t good either. One of my worst dining experiences honestly. I don’t write reviews a lot but I’d like to warn others.

Clean and spacious restaurant. I really enjoyed the combination dish with grilled pork and egg — flavorful and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back!
