Would advise avoiding unless you are completely new to Vietnamese and want a tourist experience, or you’re local and trying to keep Vietnamese restaurants in the area . If so, I would recommend rice or noodle dishes, and I trust that their Boba will please tourists.
Firstly, I suspect that it is hard for Vietnamese restaurants to ‘make it’ in Missouri compared with Mainstream American restaurants. So, I’m happy they are here for the community, yet hope they improve. The fact that they had all garnishes for pho (including fresh bean sprouts) in Missouri reflects well upon them.
Was served beef pho more lukewarm than hot and tasting rather stale, which made me wonder if it was (re)warmed up several times/days. Hoisin and Sriracha sauce came pre-portioned and was knock-off brand. I am not local, so I’m not used to the local water. Yet, it tasted dirty. Server poured some water and a few small melted ice cubes, so in effect I had Luke-warm water for the majority should I dare to drink. They served lukewarm green tea that was ordered to be hot, to discover that they microwaved it in a styrofoam to-go cup. I asked for a refund for the tea, and the server brought a receipt reflecting such but without the money in return; honest mistake, yet icing on the cake: the server is used to refunding cards. They collected money upfront before serving (which rubs me especially as anti-Vietnamese cuisine culture) and for what they are serving, I found the prices to be overcharging. Servers are polite, yet what they are working with makes it hard and awkward for being a gracious host as well as a gracious guest. I think that I was served a spoon and fork so had to ask for chop sticks.
I was traveling between Chicago and Little Rock and wanted a meal that was grounding and giving my soul and body a moment to breath. If you are like me, you might choose another spot? If you’re local, I encourage you to visit and make any ensuing recommendations so they become stronger in the community. Also, I visited the afternoon before Thanksgiving, so trust it may have been hard to gauge how many customers they might get.
The atmosphere is like ‘plastic kitty/pop/etc.’ NOT grounding like a ‘hole-in-the-wall,’ classy traditional nor modern chic. For me, the food is the main attestation, and the atmosphere comes next, with service driving the aforementioned ‘home.’ Overall score pulled low because, for me, there are some items in a Vietnamese restaurant that fundamentally should be solid [ex: Pho, spring rolls, Vietnamese coffee, Jasmine tea, etc]

This place is the best pho around my area. Im further south. It is worth driving for 45 to get once a week or so. The meat in the beef broth is always tender.

Serves mainly pho but focus on the quality to make it one of the best tasting ones out there. They have a wide variety of teas with or without boba that make a great dessert or to-go treat.

I had the pho meatballs and I wasn’t a fan of the meatballs. They were very firm and I didn’t care for the texture or the flavor. They didn’t have any taste just bland. The rest was good I really wished they served Pho Ga. I would suggest the vegetarian pho or the pho beef.
Overall, the service was good and quick. The prices are typical.

So grateful for this option in the SoCarnold area! When I worked in Central/West County I would get Pho once a week. I’ve been hoping this restaurant would come. If you live around here, this is your go-to Pho spot.
My favorite pho restaurant in STL! I've been eating pho since I was really young and this cafe is by far one of the best I've ever tried.
Great service, friendly staff, and so many great boba tea options. The food always comes out in a timely manner and is always delicious. I go here with my friends often and I always recommend anyone to go here.

Large serving sizes and amazing quality. The pho is wonderful and the spring rolls are made fresh. Slushies make the perfect addition. Highly recommend this place.
