Food is good but is not legit viet. Everything is a little too sweet compared to other viet spots (they put a sweet glaze on everything)
They serve a lot of Cantonese / Chinese dishes… so I’m pretty sure they’re a rebranded canto spot.

Superb services, food was great. Our waiter was extremely friendly about ordering too much food as their tower appetizer has plenty of food. Also the warning left turn sign.

I used the house pho with rare beefs. The size of the bowl is similar with other restaurants I know. But the taste and the composition of the soup is very poor. It has no taste,no spicy at all,except putting chopped green onion on a boiled water. From it's location considering rent and distance from the downtown,it price is also high compared with other similar restaurants.
Needs, owner/mgt/ follow up!!

I visited this restaurant on September 1. I ordered the grilled pork chop and beef on steamed rice with Chicken add on, along with a drink. The food itself was tasty, and the server who helped me was kind, patient, and gave great menu suggestions despite how busy it was.
Unfortunately, the overall restaurant experience was very disappointing. When I asked to be seated by the window, I was told that spot was reserved for “large groups” even though it was just a four-person table. Instead, I was placed at another four-person table which was a very uncomfortable spot: my back was against a shelf full of drinks, I was facing a pillar that servers struggled to move around, and new guests were standing right beside my table reading the menu out loud. On the other side, I had a customer, a chain-smoker who stank of smoke and the smell made it nearly impossible to enjoy my food.
What bothered me most was the lack of professionalism. The manager walked around checking on every table but ignored mine. Later, she climbed onto my seat to reach for a drink, which was shocking and showed zero restaurant etiquette. Only after that did she ask how everything was — but by then, it felt insincere.
Overall:
✅ Good food
✅ Friendly servers
❌ Bad seating arrangement
❌ Poor restaurant etiquette
❌ Manager needs better training in hospitality

Had an amazing experience at Pho Lady! The food and service were both top-notch. My party shared the Special Platter Tower, which was loaded with chicken spring rolls, shrimp fresh rolls, coconut shrimp, chicken satay, mango salad, and a variety of seafood like snow crab legs, tiger shrimp, scallops, and clams. It was huge and incredibly delicious!
The stuffed chicken wings (limited-time) were a standout — crispy, perfectly deboned, and stuffed with ground pork, glass noodles, veggies, and sticky rice. We also ordered the lemon fish and Tom Yum Pho, both packed with flavour and the perfect kick.
I finished with a refreshing mango milkshake that hit the spot.
Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!
Invited by a friend as he wanted to try the special platter tower. Because of its name without any research in advance, I thought that it’s a pho place serving Vietnamese cuisine only. To my surprise, its menu means much more than that!
We started our dinner with Vietnamese hot coffee with condensed milk, very authentic one! Siu Mai and Tom Yum soup were pretty good too but the MVP of the night is definitely the limited stuffed chicken wings!
Service was great and Edmond has been really attentive and kept checking if we need anything. Didn’t get a chance to try any pho yet and definitely will revisit someday!

The food is so good. Service is amazing. The seafood tower is such a good deal. The king crab legs there are so fresh and yummy. Best Vietnamese restaurant in the area.
