Foods was great. The environment was beautiful and relaxing. Service was a plus and the location is perfect.

This place has been in my radar for years and finally got to go. My first impression driving up was it looks like a hole in the wall. But, usually a hole in the wall has the best food and that is exactly what we got. I took my parents and from the moment we entered the wait staff was so accommodating, addressing my parents as mommy and daddy. Loved it. My father is wheelchair bound and it was easy access for him to get in minus one little ledge. We started with the spring rolls and pancake, both were fresh and crispy. The pancake was served with lettuce and fresh mint, cilantro, and Thai basil. Roll one up with some sweet dipping sauce and enjoy. We also ordered the curry squid and rice noodles with tofu. I will dream about the tofu noodles for a long time. So savory. Definitely a must try. I wish this place was closer because I would eat there every day.

This is the real deal. I went with friends after a celebration of life for a dear friend. It was our friend's favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Our waiter asked us if we were celebrating something and we told her we were remembering our friend and showed her our friend's photo. She remembered our friend and ran back to get the owner, who also remembered our friend. She was visibly sad that our friend had passed away. She left and came back with 5 wine glasses that included one for herself, to toast our friend. It was a beautiful moment. The food is delicious and the service is perfect.

I believe that this is Charlotte's best restaurant food-wise. Ingredients are fresh and pop with their natural aromas, curries are hearty and flavorful, and the pho is exceptional. Staff are hospitable and though the place has a hole in the wall feel, it's bursting with life. Wait times can be long and reservations are questionably held, so that's a bummer, but the food is unbeatable and quick to come out.

The owner actually greets people as you arrive. Lots to choose from on the menu. I'm basic with Vietnamese and go with the pho. Done to perfection.

I like the food, but the service is not the same for everyone, American friends are treated wonderfully, and Hispanic friends are treated differently as if we didn't have money to consume.

Been going for over 20yrs and they're still the best all around place to dine. Very consistent dishes and the type of friendly staff you rarely find anymore, anywhere! The highest grade!
Had a great time.!! The food was delicious as always. Been dining here for over 30 years, and never disappointed with a single meal. Young is a very nice lady, and always serves me a wonderful meal.

Food is really good. The pho broth was rich and well seasoned. The rice plates are really good. Some of the best in the rice.The service is really good. You don't have to flag someone down for service because they will check up on you and give you refill. But beware, some of their waitstaff are loud, vibrant and can come off as pushy and bossy. But they're probably just trying to be helpful. Some of the customers there seemed to enjoy that part.The dining room was larger I expected. It's alot bigger inside than on the outside. Definitely has a cozy feel.If you come by and can't find parking in the front then drive to the back as there are more parking spaces in the back.The only thing that I did not quite like were the prices per the portions. If the prices came down $1-2/the items on the menu then this place would be exceptional and I would have no complaints.
