The food was very good a reasonably timely for how busy it was. The customer service was good and did a good job about helping us. I have had pho several times at several different place’s and this was probably my best experience yet. The portions are large and you really get a good bang for your buck. Needless to say i would highly recommend this place.

Really good place to get broken rice (com tam)! The meat and fish sauce were perfect and I absolutely loved the omelette. Typically, broken rice would come with steamed pork and egg meatloaf but totally fine since the portions on this dish were large. Staff were great and friendly and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere. Make sure to wear something you're ok with getting smelly because there was definitely an oil smell on me and my friends right after eating here!

First time ever eating here. Ordered online and they didn’t tell me to wait for half of my food to be ready. I was 15 mins late for pick up and let me leave and didn’t say a word. No one called for me as I left or called my number. I found out after I drove 20 minutes home that I didn’t have said half. Lady on the phone said I can come pick it up. No delivery or refund was an option. Stupidest pick up ever.
I’m not one to be a Karen and complain but that was super bogus. Definitely should’ve gotten a freebie or a refund.

Satiated my pho craving! Proportions are great for the price, cute little spot. Wasn’t too busy either and everything came out quickly.

This place has excellent pho! We ate later in the evening and the food and service were excellent. We had a large group and everyone enjoyed their meals!

Pretty bland pho. Probably ok for college students but otherwise not great.

The food is incredible, and makes up for any shortcomings in the service. And as for the service, I don't blame the employees or anything, it always just seems like they're just slightly understaffed to the point of making it a bit uncomfortable for both the patron and the servers themselves. Getting seated takes awhile, and is a little too informal for my liking, and sometimes it's hard to get a refill when needed, but at the same time I recognize there's at least 10-15 different tables/parties there at one time, and really only feels like there's 2-3 servers at any given time I've been there, so it's hard to be too upset about anything. Really popular spot, and rightfully so, as again the food is amazing. The wings are always worth it, despite them always seeming to try and deter you from ordering them by mentioning the wait time on them, haha, but just order them and thank me later. As for the rest of the menu options, you really can't go wrong with anything. Having Bob Ross episodes playing in the background all the time also adds to the atmosphere. Great spot if you're visiting or in the area.

They accidentally gave me steamed rice instead of the fried rice I paid extra for. They made it right and gave me crab rangoon for their mistake. Great place! And the food was amazing!

Look man.. I don’t even like to be the person to complain… but I ubered all the way from home. I looked it up and it said it closed at 845. I landed at like 6 o’clock. It’s raining outside.. just to get dropped off and it’s closed.. on a rainy day man.. not fun at all.

Mistakenly ordered online at Pho Real Des Moines believing I was ordering from a place with the same name and very similar menu in Indianapolis. Des Moines cancelled my order refunded my money immediately and cheerfully. Not sure how their food is, but they are honest merchants. Thanks
Server Francisco was great with taking our orders.

Very nice menu with enough variety for multiple visits. Ordered from the appetizer menu-masubi and the won ton soup. The masubi was scalding hot but well made. The soup was divine. Clear pork broth, perfectly seasoned during the boil, filtered so it was clear and clean and then just the right amount of sesame seed oil danced around with green onions and ginger as partners. Atmosphere is cute. Tight seating but cozy. Interesting pop music selections but thankfully not too loud. Staff isn't what I'm used to. Not bad but maybe it's a Gen Z thing of being hands off and saying the right thing in the tone of Ben Stein. Overall, I'd eat here again. What I had was very enjoyable. Thankful.

Turn off doordash orders if your street is gonna be blocked off. Making delivery drivers mad will only lose your store customer and word of mouth
