Small restaurant serving freshly made Vietnamese dishes. Ample indoor seating with a few sidewalk tables outside. Basic cafe atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly.
They serve a varied menu from appetizers to desserts. The shop also other various goods for purchase (bowls, chop sticks, cultural souvenirs). I had the fried shrimp rolls. Petite, crunchy and flavorful. It was served with an savory dipping sauce. Just right for a light snack. My lunch companion had the Fresh shrimp Spring Rolls. 3 large firm shrimp and vegetables wrapped in delicate rice paper. Very good. Serves with a thick delicious peanut sauce.

I ate here the other day while i was visiting Pittsburgh. i'd never had Pho before, and I got to try it for the first time here. I got the Supreme Pho: Brisket, eye round, tripes, tendon, and meatball with Bean sprouts, lime, jalapenos, basil, cilantro, scallions, white onions. it was an amazing experience. The only thing I didn't much care for was the tripe but that's just a personal preference with textures. i also got a Saigon Special bahn mi sandwich. it's among the best sandwiches i've ever had, honestly. the pickled onions on it were fantastic and the meats were wonderful. i would recommend this place to everyone looking to try pho or banh mi. The prices were pretty decent! the pho portion was twice as much as I was expecting without having prior experience getting pho. I also got a honeydew milk tea, and it might be my new favorite milk tea. They had the radio playing at a more than acceptable level, with a lot of variation of what was playing. The server was kind and patient with us. We had a great experience.

Been coming here for years and the exceptional food and service has remained the same since. The pork fried rice and brisket pho is the best around. Like the kind your friend’s mom would make at a sleepover and you would beg your mother to try make something similar but it unfortunately paled in comparison. Will be back!

The food here was absolutely delicious!! The people are nice and it’s a cute and friendly restaurant. My daughter has to eat gluten free and it is very easy for her to order from her.

We ordered the stir fried vegetables rice with , the papaya salad, and the tofu banh mi — all three dishes included tofu, and unfortunately, it was overfried, hard, rubbery, and so sharp it actually hurt my gums when chewing(I’ve attached a photo) The stir fried vegetables rice was extremely sweet and drenched in syrupy sauce and barely had any vegetables It just had like 3 mushrooms 2 broccoli and 2 pieces of carrot and the papaya salad had no flavor at all but that wasn’t papaya salad. This used to be such a great spot, but the quality has really gone downhill.

We came next door to the candy shop originally, it was around dinner time and we were getting hungry. Pho sounded really good to me so we decided to give this place a try. We started off sharing fresh pork belly rolls. I had a peach refresher which had peach pulp in it. My husband had a chai tea. I ordered the supreme pho and my husband ordered Chicken Pad Thai. The hot dishes came out piping hot! We both tried each other’s dishes and everything was absolutely delicious! I saved this place so when we are back in the area we can come again. It was all amazing!!

My girlfriend and I tried this place today for lunch! We both were in the mood for pho, and this place was great! We ordered the cucumber salad as a light appetizer and we both really enjoyed the dressing and the crispness of the cucumbers. My girlfriend ordered the beef fried rice which she enjoyed, and I got the chicken pho which hit the spot after I put some siracha in it. We also shared the mango sticky rice which we loved. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food were top notch and I’d recommend this place. We went at a weird time, I’d imagine, since it’s a small place that it gets claustrophobic during a meal rush time.

Good flavors, but way too overpriced.

Food was good, but pretty pricey for Vietnamese food. Can’t complain too much since there’s so few Viet places in the area.
