Today we visited this restaurant for the first time. I read the other reviews, so we were very excited. I ordered the option #1 - Traditional Pho. It was ok. Unfortunately, there were other things that put me off returning to this place.

This place has awesome pho! It is not a big place but food comes out fast and delicious! The chili sauce on the table clears out sinuses which felt really great with all the weather fluctuations we've had recently. I got the small size of the house #2 and that was perfect! We also got some egg rolls for the table. I had a virgin coconut drink that was ideal when I had too much spice! I know I'll be back for the pho!

Best Pho IMO in Little Mekong. Great egg rolls too. No nonsense, quality is very consistent, cash only, parking on side street and behind building.

Cash only business, no checks or credit is accepted here.The pho is great, but the price varies... No receipt is provided so you're paying whatever amount the cashier says.Example: I ordered 2 large pho, $11 each and the bill came out to be $28, before tip. Therefore tax was $6!!!!

The broth was on point! They focus on pho and it is one of the best in MN!

Best pho ever. Brought visiting Australians here, one of whom was feeling under the weather, and they proclaimed it the best meal they've had in thenUS so far. Nothing fancy, just great pho.

I have been going to this place as a teen with my dad for years! I lived right down the street, and it was always a lovely treat to come get some very delicious broth and a nice hot bowl of Pho. Recently unfortunately they no longer serve the XL bowl, yet I still find it worth going just for the flavors! Now and days I go with my fiancé, and today was the last time I’ll be going. My fiancé and I were one of the last ones finishing our food as they were about to close. As I was finishing my bowl, I saw this little leg in my food…. So I put it aside and when I was ready to pay, I went and told the older lady that’s been there forever that I found it in my food. She took the spoon and I was met with a very unpleasant attitude of “when when did you find it?!” I said about 3 minutes ago as I was finishing my food. She then proceeded to throw said spoon to the back of house, go over to where our bowls where and take those to the back and throw those as well. Then came back saying she would give us a 50% discount on one bowl. Our total ended up being $20 for two bowls priced at $11 prior to the discount. We didn’t get a receipt either, But besides that, it was very unsettling how we were rushed out and the door locked behind us as we were leaving.. because I bring to attention a literal bug leg in my soup! As if I put it there… it’s fall, there is no fly around to grab and put in my soup. Anyway, it’s just not worth going to anymore, not to mention my fiancé threw up in the car 10 minutes after leaving the place. They never refill our water or check up on you after the food is given, and as long as I’ve been coming there.. I’m simply disappointed. Be safe people. If it lets me add a picture, I will.

One of the best pho I’ve ever had in this area

Tried it the other weekend. The restaurant takes only cash, and I was expecting a bigger portion for the large bowl. Family friendly environment, and very small humble restaurant. I suspect the bubbles may be from the cut vegetables… because I ordered extra noodles and the broth was clear. However food was still good.

They have 2 options for a bowl of pho. The pho borth was ok-ish and more on the sweeter side bc of all the cilantro in it. The borth cooled off quickly when herbs were added. The egg rolls were small and crispy.
