Solid spot for Vietnamese food. Not a ton of this cuisine in Pittsburgh, especially in Dormont, so it’s nice to see a spot like this. I got takeout. Honestly, I think the rating would be higher if I went in person. It’s the kind of spot that doesn’t really work well for takeout but may be quite good in person. Regardless, I got the wonton hu tieu and the pineapple boba milk tea with strawberry and passion fruit popping boba.
The wonton hu tieu was quite unique. If you get takeout, they have the broth, the noodles, and the vegetables separate for you to assemble. The plastic container the noodles are placed in is too small to fit all the broth they give.
Flavor wise, the broth was strangely a bit sweet. There were too many green onions for my liking as well. The noodles were alright, but nothing special. They were also somewhat clumped in the takeout.
The wontons were the best part. They had a nice amount of filling (which seemed to be some kind of meat but I can’t say which kind). The other meat on top was pretty fatty and just not really my favorite but it’s nice to have a double meat portion.
The boba was very good, though. It was a tad bit on the expensive side, but the quality was great. Sweet and perfectly milky. The boba was fresh and had great flavor.
All in all, this is a solid spot. It’s just that I think it would be better in person than with takeout, and the broth wasn’t exactly my favorite. But the boba was great and I’m willing to give it another shot.

I love this place. The staff is super friendly and every time that I eat here the food is delicious and authentic. They are very consistent here and their portion sizes are huge! I recommend their Grilled Pork Bun, Pho with rare beef and brisket, Crispy Spring Rolls, Vietnamese Ham Banh Mi and Grilled Shrimp on Sugarcane. Delicious!

The best vegetarian pho we've had. Truly excellent! The broth was beautifully flavored and it had plenty of veggies.

Possibly the best pho I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Punchy deep flavors, large portions, and lots of meat toppings. Our pho was absolute perfection. Came back a 2nd time and our food was also delicious!

I finally found the best Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood, and I couldn’t be happier. The food is incredibly authentic—I’ve had Bún Bò Huế and Bún Nem Lụi, which are hard to find done right, but they absolutely nailed it here. It really reminds me of being back home in Saigon. The fresh veggies are a standout too. Honestly, I think the food here is even better than some of the famous spots in Saigon. I’m so excited to have found this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the area.

This is one the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in a while! We tried the fresh spring rolls, regular spring rolls, crispy calamari, new Saigon pho special, and the spicy lemongrass soup. Everything was so fresh and delicious, but the spicy lemongrass was easily my favorite thing we ordered. It was the perfect amount of spice, such a light, yet flavorful broth, and came with a variety of meats. I also really enjoyed the crispy calamari! I don’t know what it was coated with, but it was delicious. The fresh spring rolls were also amazing. They served it with one of the best tasting peanut sauces I have ever tried. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Excellent pho. The flavor was very good. Portions were generous. They even provided ngo gai (culantro) for the pho which is very rare at Vietnamese restaurants. Very friendly staff.
