The pho was a decent price for the amount and it helped me recover from a cold.

If you’ve read my other reviews, you know I can eat quite a bit, but I was genuinely impressed by the portion sizes at this restaurant. The Pho, which is packed with meat and noodles, was so generous that I couldn’t finish it during my last visit—something that rarely happens to me. I usually stick to the basic Pho Ga (Chicken), but I've also tried their craft drinks and appetizers, all of which have been delicious. I particularly enjoy their spring rolls and egg rolls. The spring rolls come with eight shrimp divided between two rolls, making them a standout as particularly large.

The staff is consistently friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable—perhaps even lower than other Pho spots around Des Moines. My only minor complaints are the lack of refillable fountain drinks (soda can be pricey) and the absence of accessible nutritional information on the menu or website. Given Pho's generally low calorie count, highlighting this could be beneficial for health-conscious diners like myself. In either case, I'll definitely be back sometime and encourage you all to try it if you haven't.

Very cool atmosphere. Menu wasn’t complicated to read. Many selections and options to choose from. The pho broth was good but what kill it was my noodles was still alittle hard, other than that it was delicious. The chicken wings was crispy and juicy. I also order papaya salad which was pretty good. I also got the beef laab which was good but it almost tasted like Thai Issan laab. Too bad they didn’t have any sticky rice to go with it, that would’ve been a big plus. It was a well good first time experience in Iowa.

The beef noodles are delicious, and the Thai milk tea is also delicious. But the hygiene here is worrying, the toilet is very dirty, and there is thick dust everywhere! It would be great if you could pay more attention to the sanitation of the environment!

Food is pretty good, yes, but it’s hard to enjoy it when the place is filthy. Light fixtures had a thick layer of dust, condiments, floor, and table were sticky, and don’t even think about going to the bathroom. Yikes.
