Good pho soup on a chilly day. Clean and friendly restaurant.

My normal pho spot was closed so I decided to give the new ownership of pho hoang a shot and just had the best grilled pork banh mi of my entire life. The couple operating the store were very sweet and gave me a complimentary glass of water while I waited for my food (I ordered carry-out). Love that they're open a little later than the other shops, there aren't a lot of healthy eating options past 7 pm in the metro. Will definitely be going back!

Placed an order on Door Dash and I didn’t receive one of my meals. I called and told them I didn’t receive one of my meals. They guy told me I could go pick it up pointless cause that’s why I used Door Dash. I told him I had the Lab beef & he just said oh we are out. Didn’t even notify myself or Door Dash they didn’t have it. If you don’t have an item notify the customer so they can either cancel the order or give you an option for something else. This would have been the second time giving them a try & definitely the last. Dine in experience sucked, delivery service sucked!

I've got a better fried rice before, but the place is clean and my family and I were welcome with a big smile. That counts...

My personal experience is fine. There’s a note said the restaurant has got a new owner. I didn’t check the review before. As I walked in a man came up and let us sat anywhere we wanted. We ordered pho and orange chicken and got everything in 10 mins. Pho is a little bit sweet but the flavor is not bad. There was lot of beef in it. Orange chicken is pretty good. The coating is thin and not very sweet. There was not much talk or service but I think I’ve got everything I want and I don’t like unnecessarily chat. I went to the cashier by myself and checked out. Nice owner.

We really wanted to go to Pho 888 which is our go-to when it comes to Vietnamese food but they are closed tonight (Sunday). We did not realize they are closed on Sundays. Anyway, this new restaurant which is like 2 mins. away from Pho 888 accommodated us 30 mins. before closing, and I thought that was very nice of them. I ordered rare beef pho which was okay. My 4 y/o daughter loved it, so that’s a plus. I also ordered egg drop soup for my daughter which she, my fiancé and myself did not like at all. It was gross. My fiancé ordered grilled pork chop with rice (p6) on the menu. We both loved that one!!! Maybe when we come back we will order that again! It was surprisingly delicious. What I did not like however was the owner sitting right across our table. Maybe waiting for clean up, but that was just so awkward lol. Good thing we weren’t the only ones there. There was another party on a different table eating seafood, so we actually finished before them right at 8:10pm.

Went in to grab lunch and we didn’t get water or menus for quite awhile even though there was only one other table. our food finally came out and they didn’t bring us any silverware until we asked. Never came over to check if everything is alright. We had to ask them to come over every time we needed something. Not super friendly customer service. Would not recommend.

The Pho is probably the worst I've had. Broth was a dark brown color and smelled like molasses. I'm not sure what it was but it wasn't pho. Don't eat here.

I was craving some pho and stopped by. The pho is one of the tastiest I've had in a while. Service was great as well and we did not wait long after ordering. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the food!The only thing is that the parking space and entrance is very small so it may be hard to go in and out since it is along a moderately busy street.

We tried tonight and arrived around 5:50pm and they kept the door locked so you couldn't just walk in, never brought us menus or came and took our order. We only got a glass of water provided and then ignored. Another table who came after us went up and had to ask for menus and kindly gave us one. We left after waiting for some sort of acknowledgement after 15 minutes. And it wasn't even busy as the place was less than half full. When we were tired of waiting, we had to get some one to unlock the door to let us out. The hot pot that others had looked good and that's what we were hoping to order. I hope they get their groove so that they can focus on the customer. I just don't know if we'll give it another go though.

After seeing reviews I was skeptical, but After asking if the water was free (based on previous reviews) he said yes and that they are under newManagement. We went around 8:20, was greeted nicely and allowed to seat ourselves. The atmosphere was chill and decent music playing. me and my friend received our pho within 30 minutes. Had all the fixings. A small was actually relatively large. It was well prepared and sooo good. I have eaten at many pho places, do not count them out. PLUS they do crawfish boils and hotpot! Ill be back

Odd. This is a fairly new restaurant and I ordered to go. The first thing I wanted, they didn't have. Ordered chicken pad Thai and received combination fried rice. It was good and had different spice that I am not used to but I liked it.

Pho was tasty. The bowls are really nice. I liked the ambience.
