Cloudy pho broth. Looks like dirty dish water with things floating in it. They served me old Thai iced tea (it was slimey! Bacterial growth?). Even though they replaced it and made a fresh batch, that was disgusting. This restaurant is not inviting or comfortable inside.

Me and my friends decided to go try out this restaurant because it’s one of the few pho places around the Westchester -Bronx area. When we got there, there was only one other couple eating in the restaurant which wasn’t a problem, but the ambience was very odd. The lights were very dark so the food doesn’t look very appetizing even under a camera. They were playing very low Massage ASMR type music that made you scared to even speak because you seem so loud . It sucked to have to whisper after not seeing my friends for so long. My friends and I are African so our parents are adamant on respect so we use all of our manners, please and thank you, etc. Everything was going well until after we ordered appetizers and my friend and I who don’t eat pork realized that my appetizer platter that I ordered came with pork. As soon as I realized, I got up and went and spoke to the older lady at the front desk and told her like” hey due to religious reasons, I don’t eat pork. is there anyway we can just switch out The pork items with a non-pork option so the spring roll for a vegetable spring roll and the spare rib for a chicken sate. I even apologized and said it’s my fault for not triple checking before I ordered. Pork is one of the cheapest meats in the world and I think the spare rib plus the spring roll maybe cost them $.50 in total because it was one piece each. When asking for an alternative the lady kept saying oh “it’s already made” “it’s ready”, “what do you want us to do?” I kept telling her so you want me to eat it and it’s against my religion like I’m confused. Another younger lady joined her and I told her the story as well and they continue to tell me that EVERY restaurant has pork in their appetizer and I should’ve known that about combination platters. I said I’ve never been to this restaurant, but I do go and frequent other restaurants a lot and not every restaurant has pork on their combination platte. I’m proud that I stood up for myself and told them that to their faces because it was the most awkward situation ever. I felt like I didn’t even want to eat there anymore and just out of place. Honestly, it was just an odd experience. This back and forth went on for at least 10 mins before they agreed to switch out the non pork items.

They were on the phone harassing people for tips and even asked me one when I was paying my bill. They asked me if I was gonna add my tip now or tip in cash. I always tip but it is not mandatory especially when there’s bad service and even even then I tipped them five dollars out of the kindness of my heart.

The chicken & beef sate were good . The spring rolls and calamari had an overwhelming old oil taste. The pho bo was decent but lacked a lot of flavor as you can see from the color . You have to doctor it up and they are cheap with the condiments too like oyster sauce and Sriracha. The Thai lemon iced tea was very good .

Omg went here with my boyfriend for the first time. We had the beef curry and Mongolian beef, with pork dumplings. Food was to die for and obviously fresh. Everything came out quick and the service was perfect. Cheap too! This wont disappoint.

Food was ok nothing special. It was fresh and not greasy but it was still missing flavors. Nothing to write home about. Spring rolls better than entrees. Pineapple rice had canned uncooked small pineapple pieces in it. It was really plain. Ginger chicken was soaked in a broth and looked like slop. The description made you think you’d be eating more appetizing food. Disappointed beyond words.

We go here regularly. The staff are lovely. The food is always excellent and prices are reasonable for the area. Our favorites are the Kung Po Chicken, Pho Bo soup, beef scallion pancakes and the homemade dumplings are all delish. If they say something is spicy... they aren't joking. But they will adjust spice if you ask. Honestly deserve the five stars.

I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt despite the weird reviews. I got the hot basil lunch special and summer rolls. The summer rolls were ok, it was my first time ever having them so they may just not be for me. As for the hot basil, either their sauce is the most bland sauce ever or they just gave me plain steamed vegetables. At least I have veggies to put in my own curry for dinner...

We are regulars here for dine in, delivery and take out. The food is high quality, very fresh tasting and flavorful. The staff is very kind and thoughtful. They are mindful about waste so they ask if you will use certain items and I love that.

This place deserves to be packed, but you can always find a table. This place does great to go service, but it is worth it to come down and experience these dishes fresh. One of the best Asian places I have been in, with delicious and authentic dishes with fresh ingredients you can taste. Everything is quality and everything is delicious. Highly recommended! Try the pho, the duck and my favorite, the country pork.
