Their Vietnamese menu is perfect! I have been a repeat customer since 93-94? in their old location. I knew I found a special place when the local Vietnamese people were coming to Egg Roll #1 to hang, visit and have tea with other Vietnamese folks! I have tried many menu items and every one is a winner!

This place is my favorite place to get pho. It always looks packed but you are still able to order your food and get a table. This is the best pho I've ever had too. When I lived in Indy, this is where I would go for a cheap meal that was still amazing. Now I come from Bloomington just to eat here! My favorite is the pho tai! The broth is super flavored and the meat is tender.

I think kitchen's ok, but hall is a mess. Expect problems ordering, getting your food, and getting a clean table. It gets crowded. If there's a line, there's probably 2 lines, and a kiosk. No one knows which line they need to get on. I don't think they know either. Just get in the shortest line whether you want it togo or sit. If you want to sit, you can just wait and find a sit at your will. Doesn't matter if you ordered or not. One person can go and order for the group. At least that's what some people were doing. Just make sure you keep the order simple. Keep the orders for the kitchen, not the stuff that the hall has to manage. Good luck.

This should be a no star AT ALL but no option for that!! The service was terrible. We waited more than an hour for our food, from the line to serving the food and only to realize that one item was missing because the cashier failed to include it in our order. When we tried to raise the issue, the server told us the manager was busy and that we would need to get back in line to reorder, despite the line being very long and the wait estimated at another hour. The server was also impolite and made no effort to correct their mistake. This will be our first and last visit to this restaurant. The food wasn’t even good, the pho was far too salty.

A friend recommended this place, and I really liked it. The food is excellent for the price—definitely worth it.

It’s a fast-casual Vietnamese restaurant where you order and pay first, then the staff brings the food to your table. There are plenty of menu options, parking is spacious, and the staff are very friendly.

I came back again and this time ordered the small bowl of pho. I’m not sure if it’s meant for kids, since it’s a smaller portion and a bit cheaper, but everything else was the same — great flavor, good noodles, and plenty of meat. Just the small pho alone was filling for me.

As always, I ordered my favorite combo: grilled pork chop on rice and pho. I finished the pho but had to take the rice home. I’ve ordered this combo many times and it never disappoints.

Even though it’s about a 40-minute drive for me, it’s still worth the trip. Honestly, I almost don’t want to review this place because I’m afraid it’ll get too popular and there won’t be any seats left.

This is the local, favorite Chinese and Vietnamese spot for a reason. I'm so glad I finally got a chance to try it. This is going to be a new favorite when I eat out!

The place was bus, but the ladies there are no nonsense and get the food out fast.

I ordered the Phở Xe Lửa and it was indeed a BIG BOWL of pho. Generous portions of beef, tendon, tripe and beef balls! Flavor of the broth was also great! It came out fast and hot!

The ragoons there were also delicious. I'm definitely taking my one bestie here for the ragoons.

It feels cozy and casual. A little vintage and definitely nothing fancy. There's some red neon lighting in a corner from their window sign. There's plaques on the wall and bottles of sauce on the table. It's honestly a bit nostalgic somehow.
