The pho was delicious, great flavor and the meat was tender. I also had taro boba, the drink itself was delicious and creamy, but the boba was overcooked. Staff was friendly and attentive. The dining area was definitely a bit messy, many of the tables had not been bussed so there wasn’t a lot of available seating. I will definitely return and try some other dishes though.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PHO! Always greeted with a smile, the waitress always remembers our order and even let me borrow a charger for my phone as it was beyond dead. Portions are HUGE, fresh ingredients, and an always attentive staff. This is our go to spot for Pho.

Chicken pho was full of tender chicken and very flavorful. Fried rice shrimp, pork, and chicken were all tasty. The egg rolls were good, but greasy. Oil may have been too low in temperature. Overall, highly recommend and tasty. Will try egg rolls again on another visit.

We’ve been here twice already, and let me tell you — it’s so worth the 40-ish minute drive 🚗💨💛. This place hits every note: amazing food, great service, and good vibes from start to finish ✨.

🍜 First Visit:
Our first time here, both my husband and I tried the Pho Ga (chicken pho) 🐔🍲 — and wow, pure comfort in a bowl! The broth was rich, soothing, and full of flavor 😋. The chicken tasted fresh and tender — no freezer-burn weirdness like at other spots 🙅🏻‍♀️.

We also got the spring rolls 🥢🌿, which are always so crisp, fresh, and beautifully wrapped. But the real star? That peanut sauce 🥜🤤 — creamy, flavorful, and totally addictive. You’ll literally catch me scraping the bottom of the bowl, not even pretending to be polite 😂.

To finish it all off, we tried the coconut boba 🧋🥥 — cold, creamy, and sweet in the best way possible. It instantly became our favorite treat.

🔥 Second Visit — October 10, 2025:
This time, I decided to switch things up and tried the Bún Bò Xào 🍖🥗 — and oh my goodness 😍🔥, thank you to our amazing waitress Maggie for recommending it! It was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the textures were spot on. And yes... I had to get the spring rolls again because, let’s be honest, they’re irresistible 🤭.

Of course, we got another round of that coconut boba 🧋 because it’s just too good to skip. My husband stuck with his pho and is now completely obsessed with the broth 🥰 — he even asked if they sell it by the container so he can sip it at work on cold days 🥶☕️.

❤️ The People & Atmosphere:
Both times, we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Cindy, the owner 👩🏻‍🍳💬, and she is amazing. You can feel how passionate she is about her food and her customers. She’s warm, down-to-earth, and full of great energy 💕. It’s rare to find an owner who is so involved, but Cindy makes the experience truly personal and special. She even gave me suggestions for what to try next time — and you bet I’ll be back! 👐🏼

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming 🌸🌿. You don’t feel rushed, and the servers are attentive without hovering 🙏. The background music 🎶 sets the perfect mood, and the bathrooms are spotless 🚻✨ — which says a lot about how much they care about their space.

💛 Final Thoughts:
This restaurant is a hidden gem 💎 — the kind of place that feels like home from the moment you walk in. Delicious food, genuine people, clean environment, and that warm, family feel that’s so hard to find these days 🥰.

We’re so grateful to have found this spot and plan to keep coming back again and again 💫🍽️.

Highly recommend — 100% worth every mile of the drive! 🚗💨💖
