I'm Vietnamese and a high end restaurant employee of over 20 years with multiple family members who run their own Vietnamese restaurants as well. I wanted to try a local spot but was extremely apprehensive. I dined in and tried their egg rolls and Pho Dac Biet. The egg rolls were surprisingly good and crispy. They were served with a side of lettuce and fish sauce for dipping. 8.5 / 10. Now on to the bad. The pho was extremely light on flavor. Very bland. The noodles were slightly overcooked and mushy. 6 / 10. The side plate of lime and veggies was very fresh and appealing though. Service was friendly but lacking proper training. Ambiance was non-existent. Probably won't try the pho again honestly.

My family and I went in a bit skeptical because it was a tiny place with about a handful of tables. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and we were told that the owner just took it over 3 weeks prior. The menu has pho, boba teas, smoothies and they have specials listed on the chalk board. Let me tell you we were very impressed! One of the best pho we've had in Missouri. The eggrolls were delicious as well! We will be back for pho! Super friendly and delicious! A must try! We are from California (where the selection of food is amazing) and have been here for about 4 years and have tried many pho restaurants here. If your looking for ambiance this isn’t the place, but if you want a good bowl of pho this is the place!

The pho was amazing! My husband and I devoured it so quickly. We loved the kind and friendly service as well as the food. It doesn't look like much, but inside is a wonderful food place that exceeds expectations. Make sure you add hoisin sauce for the extra salty broth. Will keep coming back because it was an amazing experience and we loved the pho!!!

The worst, most messy, and most dirty Vietnamese restaurant. I don't know how the health department passed the inspection.

Ordered pho and got the broth that doesn’t have flavor and so much fat floating on the broth, not a good experience! Paid 17$ just for this dish and waste of money.

I don’t mind a hole in the wall usually, but this place had no personality, was cluttered in the back area, and everything cheaply put together. That made me skeptical about the quality that would go into the food itself. I tried it out anyway in case it was a pleasant surprise. Nope. Pho smelled like fish sauce and tasted too salty. Had high hopes given pho is the speciality.

I am a big fan of Pho, and I was happy to find this place. Taste was like a really good home made Pho does not like franchises restaurants. But every time I go, I can't ignore being not clean. People were nice, but the girl was mopping the floor and, after that, touching food(prepareing vegetables for Pho) without washing her hands or even using gloves. It's such a sham

I'm not typically one to leave reviews, but this needs to be heard. If I could give 0 stars I would. This was not pho. I might be biased, because I am Vietnamese. But - for a place that only sells pho, you would think their broth would have flavor. It had absolutely none, I would rather have dirty dish water. The noodles were undercooked, and the broth was so bland. They gave us lemon instead of lime. The only thing they have going for them are the big portions, but. I couldn't even finish 1/4 of mine I was so disappointed. The restaurant was hot on a 90* day, no decorations, and kind of dirty. I wish we walked right back out. Pan asias pho is far superior compared to this place, and they're still only decent.

What the place lacks in ambience, it makes up for in food quality.
I came for tasty pho and wasn't disappointed. It was delicious. And the host/waitress/chef (one person, many hats) was a delight.

I would only dine in here again when I'm really desperate of Phó, since there isn't any near by. Not a bad soup since I do not mind light broth. But takes forever to be served. I make Phó at home, so I know how long it takes to prep a bowl when you have the broth ready. Ridiculously slow.

This little eatery is adjacent to China in Bombay which shares the same owner. The place is small but staff is very friendly. The food tastes different from most Vietnamese I have been to but better. I suppose it is probably more authentic. We went for a date with my wife and turned out to be a good choice. We would like to go to the Bombay one next time
