Friendly staff and the food is very delicious.pho is very good to me, my Fiance is Vietnamese and says the base for the Other soup is good but not original, she’s not here so I can’t ask her how to spell it, but it sounds like boemboway… She said it was very good, but not the original way it’s supposed to be made, the ban mi sandwich and spring rolls are delicious.

Ultimately was a bit disappointed with what I got here. Pricing was fine for the amount of food we got.

Started with spring rolls, which were good. Nice size, standard ingredients. I got the bo kho and I'm not sure why but really didn't enjoy the flavoring or the thickness of the broth. The noodles also were just fine. Would not order this dish again.

We also got the hu tieu ap chao, which was a new experience for me that I enjoyed much more. The noodles are essentially lightly fried in a block of them, so you pull them apart and crunch on them.The seafood that came with this were meh, the noodles were really my favorite part of the dish.

Pretty good pho. Not sure what the standard is here in central PA. Thought it was kinda pricey 18 bucks after tax for a large pho. Got everything on it feels like it could use a bit more of everything wasn't really full when I left. Was pretty good though.

This was one of the greatest sandwich experiences of my life. The pork is absolutely deliciously marinated and with the crunchy carrot—it is truly an ingenious thing. I will be back !!! Place also had lovely atmosphere and was so clean

They have THE BEST pho I've ever eaten, and it's consistently delicious every time. The portions are very generous.

This was the first place that I ever tried pho. I love this little restaurant. The decorations in here make it a very comfortable place to come and have a meal.

The pho has a very rich broth.

The broth for the been pho was very meat forward rather than having a light flowery and herbal flavor which is my preference. The rest of the offering was relatively standard and unassuming. Good atmosphere good service

I got a P4 steak and brisket pho. This pho did not come with bean sprouts, Jalapeno's, lime or the herbs that come with other pho dishes, but the broth was delicious and full of flavor. Unsure if that is an add on, but If not, and you are accustomed to those on the side, they will not be there. It doesn't take away from the flavor though. The staff was friendly and service was really quick! Would definitely recommend!

This was my first time here. But my wife is a frequent visitor. So when she found out I was in the area .She immediately asked me to pick her up some Chicken Pho.I personally didn’t have a clue what this was . I was greeted immediately inside the door by a very friendly hostess. The place was absolutely beautiful. Impeccably clean. 2 large screen TV .s and nice seating arrangement. Food was handed over to me in 5 minutes. And It was on our kitchen table in 10 minutes later . This was my first ever time eating this type of food so I’m not expert . But I liked it . My wife loves it . And of course she is never wrong, lol So I’m positive we will be actually eating in the restaurant. Instead of taking out . I very highly recommend them .

5 stars for this little gem. We arrived 20mins before closing, and part of our party was going to arrive at 8pm (closing time). Not only did they happily welcome us , they let us stay till 8:30pm till we finished eating. Didn’t felt like they rushed us out. Food also great. Pho broth is authentic and not super salty, which we liked. Highly recommend!..

If you think they have good pho, then it’s clear you’ve never had good pho. Drop me a line and I’ll send you several restaurants that actually have amazing pho. I was hungry and in the area and thought I would give them a try. Such a disappointment. The pho had no flavor at all, the noodles were horrible the amount of meat was laughable and tendon…I don’t even know what that was but it does not even compare to the tendon and brisket pho in local Vietnamese restaurants in the city. But I guess we don’t know what we don’t know. So if this is all you’ve ever had it might seem good.

My family came here tonight after the place we were going to go to originally was closed, and I am so happy they were so we could find this gem. Our food was delicious the pho broth was rich and flavorful, my partners vermicelli bowl was so good and it had probably the best shrimp paste either of us had ever had. And my son loved his pork chop, we will definitely be back, I think this is going to be our go to restaurant for Vietnamese food even tho there are places closer to us.
