The pho was tasty but ordinary (lacking the depth in the broth). Service was attentive and reasonable priced. Not sure if I would come back for it but maybe to try the bun bo hue as some have noted as best in the city in the reviews.

better than most pho spots. pho broth is proper, a good tender eye of round and quality noodles, the bean sprouts, basil and jalapenos(they also have red thai chilies) are fresh. the summer rolls are fresh. service is friendly and accommodating.
