I was served by a robot! My first time! Restaurant is run by two generations and my pho was very cozy and comforting on a rainy night. I will be back.

A nice Vietnamese place in Pape Village and a nice change within the many dominant Greek restaurants in the area.
The interior is nice and the place is always kept clean. The times I've been here, the food is always good. Pho is definitely worth it here.
Critiques I have of this place could be that music could be played or something, or even a radio channel. The place is kept dead silent, so the atmosphere could be very awkward if no one's talking. Or you could very much be able to eavesdrop on another table's conversation. On the off chance, the staff could be playing some Vietnamese news in the background, but that's pretty much it.
Staff could also try to be more on the friendlier side. They aren't rude, more so cold and straightforward.
Despite everything, I'd still come back here just for the food.

The BBQ Pork vermicelli was great with the egg noodles although the sauce was a bit too sweet. The pho was decent. The broth was really light and the toppings were generous. I typically like broths with a stronger flavor and smaller bowl so that's why pho was 7/10 for me.
Parking: Lots of paid green p parking spots on Pape near the restaurant

Worst pho ever and no sizes, what a joke. Beef, chicken and porkchop taste bad too. And the place is super small and expensive compared to better viet restos

Love this place. Been dining here for years. I love their fried rice vegetables and eggs, with fried calamaris. The grandmama in the kitchen is the rockstar for me. I know she cooks the food real
