The pho was very bland, no favor seems water down…I added three spoonful of fish sauce and still bland. Noodle and meat was well portion. My baby had #44 ? pork chop rice platter, disappointing meat was dried no flavor too. Egg roll was okay the noodle was still hard.

The pho portion was too small. Not much flavor to the broth. Not enough herb aroma taste. The banh mi sandwich was good. Probably better than the pho.

Homely atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Immediate seatings. The spring rolls were excellent. Soft, chewy, full of flavor. The dipping sauce really elevates the spring rolls to the next level. The rice bowl (Com Suong Bi) captured the Vietnamese flavors; amazing fragrance and flavor. An amazing spot for a quick lunch and warm dinner.

Blandest food I have ever eaten… very disappointed! I know damn well they know their broth is tasteless.Honestly, Where do i even start… pho was not that great. Very very very bland. They watered down the fish sauce for sure. And no chili oil? C’mon…. Eggrolls? Literally, what the heck did I just eat!! No words for that. Spring rolls..why is the meat only in the center and not throughout the whole spring roll? ! ? $6.25 for 2 thin slices of meat and 1 shrimp ??‍♀️lets talk about the bahnmi. The saddest bahnmi sandwich i have ever eaten. No patay? Not even a little seasoning? Sheesh.First and last time ever coming here. ??Definitely a place for meeka ppl to eat. ?

We came here after seeing an influencer's hype about it on social media. Nothing was like what they had shown.Was greeted by an angry older lady who took her time getting back to us to take our order.For appetizers we had spring rolls and wonton. The spring roll was very rubbery and the meat inside tasted old. The wontons were OK. We had their pho 79 special and boy was it bland! The broth from my wife's pho disappeared after she stirred it and she was left with just a huge bowl with noodles. Overall the pho was so bland it tasted like hot water with dried beef flanks floating around. Next was their chicken fried rice. It was made up of 75% breast. The breast were so over cooked it tasted like cardboard. If you never tasted cardboard before you'll know after eating it!The server never came by to check on us, we constantly saw him come check on all the other customers, asking if they liked the food and refilling their water. There were customers who came after us, ordered and got their food. The server would constantly walk pass us and ignore us making us feel like they don't care about their Asian customers needs or opinions. It's sad when you're Asian, go to an Asian establishment and feel discriminated against lol.I wouldn't come back here, don't recommend it either. If you feel like having a bad day then come.

What I'm most disappointed at is the service. The server was constantly checking in on other customers, if they liked their food and if they need anything else, yet completely ignored our table throughout the time we were there. No water refills either.Springrolls wrap was rubbery and tough. If it was fresh, it'd be soft. Pho came in a large bowl but hardly any broth. Once I stirred it up, all the broth was absorbed and it was just a bowl of noodles. Flavor was plain, as though water was added to the remaining broth. Chicken fried rice had a bunch of over cooked chicken breast shredded in. Disappointed as vietnamese food is my favorite.

Reviews seem to be good but pho broth was kinda of blend on the day we went. Other menu item was good. Probably worth another try but I would have to pass. There's another pho location not too far around the snelling area i would rather go to.

This place was by far the best pho ? I have had in a long time. The inside is so cute and peaceful. The coffee here is amazing. It is affordable. The people are super friendly.

The pho is gluten free :)

One of my favorite lunch spots! They make my favorite egg rolls in town, and very good pho and vermicelli bowls. I also like the mi wonton if you’re looking for a non-rice based noodle. If you go as often as I did, they even remember your name and go-to orders

I had the egg rolls and #8 Pho. It was so good. I could smell the anise and cloves as the waiter was bringing it to the table. Service was great. Busy today when I stopped in for lunch but service was quick and friendly. Looking forward to trying other things here soon.
