Delicious pho! We came here for years… so much so that the staff recognized us. They serve delicious pho and other dishes. One of the few places in DSM where you can get vegan pho. 🌱 100% recommend this place!!

I went here with a couple friends and I ordered some fried rice. It came with a small soup which was really good and a good portion for the fried rice (not too big or small). There was a good amount of meat and veggies on the fried rice and it was one of the best fried rice I ever had in restaurants. The service was good and we didn't wait for too long, the prices are very reasonable and cheaper than I thought. There also wasn't much customers when I came and the restaurant was clean too.

I called ahead of time for a banh canh, my drive there is about 15 mins and I still have to wait 20p just to get my order. Won’t be back for sure.

This is a hidden gem, nestled within the C Fresh market. Walk in and hang a left for some amazing phò or vermicelli or one of their other specialities.
The bahn mi sandwiches are also great and we like to get them to go for a later meal when we are there.
They also have many flavors of bubble tea and other beverages.
We started dining here many years ago when the place was just getting started and the food was always good, but the atmosphere needed work back then. Now, it's a super cute place and kept up nicely!
I always have great food here, sometimes the service is a little slow, but they seem to be busy with all kinds of things in the food prep area and good food takes time. I'm happy to wait if the result is tasty. We usually have to walk up to pay tho, you'll be waiting quite a while if you are waiting for the bill at the table. They take cards or cash.
I highly recommend if you like Vietnamese/SE Asian food!

Great place for authentic Vietnamese soups and pho. Lots of meat options and even the veggie pho is quite flavorful. Prices are appropriate as well. I would say one of the better pho places in the metro. You know it is fresh when all the food is probably taken straight from the grocery store.

Great restaurant, I go here every time I’m craving Pho. The service and atmosphere are always great, and the wait time is never too long. I got the Large Pho and ended up not being able to eat it all and took an entire container to go.

We love stopping in for a quick bite as a half way point to our destination. The banh mi sandwiches are always on point and love the fresh bags of baguette !

haven’t been here in a very long time. i remember it being one of the better vietnamese restaurants in the des moines metro. the other i would say tnt.

the pho was absolutely delicious. super strong beefy and flavorful broth. they were quite generous with meat despite it being the small portion. and it was only $12! super great value.
we also ordered fried tofu and my mom ordered banh canh (seafood soup). super delicious and would come again.

the restaurant is pretty and cozy but they were extremely busy. looked like they only have 2 people running the dining area. we were patient with them and were in no rush. they did have a lot of dishes sitting around but you know what they say, is it really a vietnamese restaurant experience without dirty dishes? haha.
