Found this hidden gem while visiting Iowa, loved the shrimp pho and spring rolls. Good value too! Family owned and operated, very vintage. It was very quiet when we were there so I think a bit of music could help the ambiance but overall good experience, we would def recommend.

The people that usually run the restaurant where on vacation in Chicago that day? At first a dish was brought to me and because I wasn't familiar with the menu and was confused about what I might have ordered I accepted it. Later someone came out with the appetizer I had ordered and lastly the main dish I had ordered. There was so much food! The server said I could take the extra dish I hadn't ordered, to-go with no problem. The restaurant was busy and the one single server handled it very well. The Vietnamese pancake was delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: The arrangement of seating in the restaurant was spacious enough to allow at least a few different options for wheelchair seating/accessibility.

This may just be my favorite restaurant ever. They have quality, home-cooked, Vietnamese dishes that never disappoint. I have been going here for years and always have a great experience whether I am dining in or taking out. The restaurant is always quiet and clean and the servers attend to you quickly. It may not be the most decorated place but it is a reliable choice.

In my opinion, this is the best Pho I have had in Cedar Rapids. I love spicy food, so this was right up my alley with the little devil peppers that come on the side. Avoid the peppers if you can't handle the heat. Food is delicious with or without.

Good atmosphere,service was totally off,I come here with my fiancé waitress was talking with him not even asking me what I would like we did asked refill from her but she was too busy looking on her phone. Spring rolls was off but Pho soup was delicious and that’s only reason I would go with four stars.

Had a beautiful experience the other day we stopped in a little late and there had seemed to be a few table full but we had noticed the soccer game on the screen with a couple tables in the middle they had their family all watching what I assumed was a relative playing it was just a great reminder why I love small shops the amazing moments you get to witness and be apart of are some of the memories I will cherish most!

Love this place, food is always great. I’ve eaten almost everything on the menu at this point. Best Pho in town…Vegetarian options: Somehow they make vegetables taste good.Kid-friendliness: A small kids menu but what kid doesn’t love “chicken noodle soup”…Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is right next to the entrance
