Not going to lie man… if you want authentic Vietnamese food… I don’t think this is the spot. How do you mess up shrimp salad and have grilled shrimp bro. Also spring rolls looked like a 5 year old rolled them; flat as hell LOL. Go at your own risk.

$22+ to sit down and eat a bowl of pho in this restaurant now ... Used to be a wonderful and reasonably priced restaurant, but now they decided to join the "let's screw our loyal customers as they are willing to pay anything we charge" group of restaurants.

Pho is a cure for any cold day. I was here with a friend on a Saturday evening and we were seated pretty quickly. They have a hefty menu with some veggie and non soup/pho options. We got chicken wings to start and I got a spicy beef pho. My friend got a seafood pho and we both got Iced coffee with condensed milk. The service was fast and the server was very attentive. We got our food quickly and it was piping hot. The coffee is a must at any Vietnamese place , but this was SO GOOD. The coffee was strong but sweet. Definitely worth a try! Especially to beat these cold evenings.

Was invited here by a friend for some nice pho on a rainy day. It felt very rushed to order our food(waitress Tran kept coming to our table to ask every 2 minutes. We didn't get any utensils, was told they were being cleaned but never checked in again to update us or give them to us. Food was ok, definitely not the best. Just 2 sauces for topping the pho, and apparently they didn't have watercress. Waitress Tran's attitude was definitely not needed and needs to practice good hygiene in a restaurant. Our table literally seen her DIGGING in her nose, did NOT wash her hands and continued to place chopsticks into their slits. I immediately got nauseous. Lastly, we had asked for a bag for our leftovers, and was told there wasn't any, but a guy (not sure if the owner, but was delegating tasks) went a pulled a whole pack out. So makes me wonder if there really wasn't watercress for my pho...... oh and also this same guy called a guest that walked out pissed off psychotic.... Yeah will not be recommending to no one!!!

They don’t have boba. And they won’t refund/compensate for not having boba on my mobile order. Store called me to tell me there’s no boba and had the audacity to say “it’s only a dollar” and wouldn’t compensate it for something else. They then pressured me to let them accept the order still I should have just cancelled and put in another one. Terrible customer service. Need training.

Food was amazing as always. Had the 45. always a go to. Host was warm and welcoming but was rushed by our server to pay as soon as we received our pho and was kept an eye on making the delicious meal feel rushed and pressured. Defiantly will eat again but maybe just take-out.

Food was disgusting, server said it was good but after I tried it, it was absolutely horrible, barely any flavor. The food wasn’t what I was expecting. Bad food overall, service wasn’t the worst!

How anyone could Give this place any less than 5 stars is beyond me. Try some of the other Pho places and you will realize how hard this place works to give you great Pho. Best in the area maybe even the state.

This pho is a bit more heavy handed on the cardamom/five spice side than I’m used to. I first grew my affections for pho back in 2016 and have considered myself a self appointed Pho Aficionado ever since, lol. However, once you let the beef pieces sit in the broth for a bit, the flavors start to come together and marry. Quite enjoyable.
