DO NOT GO HERE! They rush you to order fast even with no one behind you in line, the lady was rude to my sister, and didn’t give my mother the correct drink, she gave mom 242 when mom ordered a 244.
Best pho/Vietnamese restaurant in town. Food is delicious and the staff are incredibly kind and personable. Love it here :)

For years this was our go to. Last night the peanuts and daikon were both left out of our dishes, and nothing was worth finishing. We all have horrible indigestion and diarrhea today. Will not be going back.

Fresh and flavorful food. Great service.
In the same way that there is such a thing as American Chinese food this place feels kind of like American Vietnamese food. The drinks were by far the best part of the experience. Tons of options, good boba and amazing coffee (lavender latte was incredible). We got vegetarian spring roles and they were nothing to write home about and could have used more avocado though they were neat and quick to come out.
I got the tofu vermicelli bowl which was alright. Basically the exact same ingredients as the spring roll accepted totally lacked fresh herbs which is an important part of any real vermicelli bowl. The tofu was fantastic and I wish there was twice as much of it. They put spinach in the bowl which I found to be very strange and they also had additional lettuce which was fine but felt overall unnecessary. The rest of the veggies were fresh and good. I have mixed feelings about the sauce: they serve it with peanut sauce which tastes very good but I really wish they could have committed to the dish and found a way to make a vegetarian vinaigrette without the fish sauce. I really prefer that and have had it other places with great success. Just some notes. The bowl was pretty good overall.
The best thing we had was the tofu ramen bowl which was perfectly seasoned and cooked super well. The vegetables were all fresh and the tofu was once again well marinated and handled. They weirdly put spinach in this too... Not sauteed in the sauce but added on top raw on top after cooking. Weird.
Is this the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to? No. I am not from Rockford and I noticed there were a lot of other Vietnamese options. I specifically chose this restaurant because of the vermicelli bowl offering and was not particularly impressed. I probably won't return but if I were local I would definitely consider coming back for that ramen dish.

Fake imitation photos. I'm not interested in this place anymore. Too many flies around. Fish smell constantly.
