I went in on a Sunday afternoon & asked for something a little specific off the menu. Jessica was a sweetheart and accommodated for me. She was so sweet and the broth I was served was authentic & delicious. Thank you Jessica! If you want an authentic home cooked viet meal this is it!
The pho was the best I’ve ever had. Perfect flavor that had a great balance of depth and spices. The vermicelli was great as well. And the staff was very friendly and they gave us tips on which sauces they recommended with everything. I highly recommend.

Just what we were looking for Jessica, thank you so so much for bringing us back to the streets of Vietnam with your BanhMi and broth ???? the perfect bread, veg and protein one complimented by the other. All this with your hospitality, you will be seeing us again, because I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship ?
We will see you again

Went on Tuesday for lunch and was one of the few places where you can grab a meal that's not closed in Chinatown.
The owners greeted us immediately and offered suggestions to try. Another reviewer complained about no AC but it was perfectly fine inside on a hot 28°C day and we had to move as the table we originally sat was underneath the AC unit and was too cold.
We chose the house special pho and came about 10 minutes later with usual garnishes. The garnishes were fresh and crisp.
The noodles were from freshly made and not from rehydrated batches. We overheard a story of someone complimenting them on the freshness and delicious noodles compared to other pho places nearby. I have to agree.
On that note, I haven't been to many places nearby recently but check their photos, you can see how oily the broth is. Now take a look at my bowl and you can see how my broth looks "clean" as we call it. The broth had a lot of colour and richness without any of the crazy amount of fat. There was another reviewer complaining about lack of seasoning and star anise and the broth tasted what a good broth should taste like. Yes I finished my bowl down to the last drop.
The bowl size was large and everyone was full and enjoyed their meal.
Throughout the meal other folks came in to buy from the counter or sandwich takeout and were happily greeted and served quickly.
The complaints from others about decor and tables being literally tacky are in each person's perspective. I remember a long time ago, one of the first pho 88 opened 5 stores down and they had the most sticky tables but wonderful pho. I eat from the bowls and not off the tables so I suggest using the napkins if the table bothers you. From someone else complaining about pests, I didn't see any on my two visits and nothing suggested anyone was being unhygienic. It is Chinatown after all, so if you're that worried, then you can try cooking at home. The decor/design is functional, and no comment on restrooms as I didn't use them. Again I want to pay for the pho and service, and not for faux-elegance of fine dining.
The pho-elegance of the bowl is all you need.
It is cash only but can accommodate e-transfer.
I recommend picking up a bag of pepper buns Hújiāo Bǐng / Bánh Tiêu on your way out as they were fresh, soft and not oily at all.
I really wanted to like this place. I want to support small local places. Usually, I go to Bahn Mi Nguyen Huong around the corner. Alas, I was a little too late today and saw this place as a good option. Unfortunately, I was misled. It really isn't good value for money anymore as other reviewers have noted.
The Bahn Mi is $6 so $0.50 more expensive than the other place. However, the bread is smaller, the filling is exceedingly skimpy and really flavourless. I got the default cold cut and it was very mid. I wouldn't recommend this place at all when others exist in the same block.
