We just had a DELICIOUS meal at the Good Bowl. With 5 in our party we had a wide variety of food. Everything was good. Some standouts were the ribs, Brussels sprouts and the vegetarian spring rolls. We will return!!

I came wanting Vietnamese vermicelli but sadly only had one with pork belly in lemongrass. I’m not a lemongrass fan and this is more upscale versions of classics when all I wanted was a classic ( carrots, cucumbers, peanuts, cilantro, etc) so I left without eating. I’m sure it is good food but nothing on the menu is what I really wanted.

Great atmosphere, good service, but the food we had was really not good!!
For vegetarians, do not get the Pho. The vegetarian pho base was just like salty water, and the pho was flavorless.
I'm sure their meat option is excellent, but I've had excellent vegetarian pho many times, and this was absolutely not it.

Not much “good” about the good bowl. The restaurant is dark and smells like cleaner, my tofu “bowl” was rice floating in tomato broth. For two inedible entrees and and an appetizer of overly cooked shishitos we spent over $80. Avoid this tourist trap.

We had the worst time. The waitress was condescending with questions, the food was flavorless other than the dumplings which were actually decent. Overall we wont be coming back.

Don’t waste your money here if you want excellent food walk 10 more feet to the “Full send ramen” food truck. The Togo order we placed took way to long, my friend literally went to the little fleet a block away, ordered food and ate it and was walking towards me by the time I got the Togo order. They were out of dumplings which they had told me after my food was made and gave me a $15 gift card to the place instead of my money back?? How does that make sense. Food tasted bland and watered down, the rice bowl tasted more simple then it looked is it that hard to cook food with some seasoning I mean come on and on top of it they didn’t even give togo silverware as-well I can’t even express my disappointment 10/10 disappointing better luck at McDonald’s

Great portions and flavor. Pho and ribs were good, would not recommend the claypot chicken as it’s too sweet.
This place had a great atmosphere, our server Kevin was fantastic! I have never had Vietnamese food before, and I really enjoyed it! I’m not sure how authentic it may be but it tastes great. The grilled Nappa Cabbage and the Scallion Pancake were very tasty. The drinks are also very good, I recommend the Pink Lotus! Tastes like a pink lemonade. I would gladly come back here again.

This was the first stop of our Traverse City vacation and we were so excited to have pho since my mom was raised in Vietnam. We did have a reservation and sat immediately. After that the service was sub par. We had just done a 7 hour drive and got waters but our waitress didn’t come to our table for 15-20 mins. Finally another waitress saw we weren’t helped and got our order. Once the pho got to our table they didn’t bring out a plate of veggies or sauce on the table. We had to ask for extra limes and sriracha. Apart from the slow service, the food was very good. My mom could tell their broth was authentic. Definitely check them out, just be weary of slow service during busy hours! Great pho all in all.
