Fantastic pho, a variety of noodles, and other Asian dishes. Small shop with a relatively wide variety of options available. Dishes were served with a side of fresh spices and garnishes to fix the meal to your taste.

Ordered the duck and beef pho. Broth was high quality and rich in both dishes, portions were very good. The beef in particular, was very tender.

I saw some reviews claiming that the service was slow. I admit that the waitress was distracted, talking on the phone through her earbuds, which resulted in a wrong drink order. That said, I started a stop watch once our order was in and the food arrived in less than 7 minutes.

Bonus: if you are a restaurant owner, this place has a ton of kitchen accoutrement / utensils for commercial use. Moreover if you just like cooking Asian dishes at home, the supermarket that houses the restaurant haas all manner of noodles, rices, spices, and other staples of the varied Asian diet.

This is not the place you come for atmosphere as it's space is just part of a larger Asian food market. You do come here for really authentic good Vietnamese food for a good price.

Saturday 3pm lunch, and our orders were ready in less than 15 minutes. Large portions, great texture, and so much flavor.

Pretty average pho. Huge bowl but unfortunately broth is not herbal or tasty enough. Sliced beef also is mediocre.

Delicious pho and super friendly service. No frills pho place inside the Asian supermarket. It is not totally obvious where or how you are supposed to order but just go for it.

The food is beyond good. I've always had great service and I come here all the time. The pho is perfection and always makes me feel better about life in general.

The seating is limited so try to hit non-peak times, if you can.

My go to spot to stock up on my Asian sauces and ingredients. I was super hungry and didn’t realize there was a small pho place in the corner. It was kinda busy that day and I was able to snag a seat, but it seemed like there’s always one lady that works there and she takes your order when you seat yourself so it took some time. I ordered the rare beef and brisket pho which came out fairly quick. The flavors were on point, tasted authentic and my only complaint was that I wish I had more broth because the ratio was a little off between noodles to broth. The space was small and like a cafeteria style but definitely a hole in the wall if that’s what you’re looking for.

Had beef pho and it was pretty good. Will come back to try other things on their menu for sure. Prices were average. Only thing... the lady who serves the food and cleans up is super rude. I paid cash and she tipped herself out instead of giving me change...

The food is top notch in my opinion. The service could be a bit better. But it has not stopped me from coming back time after time. It being located inside a supermarket is also a plus for me.

If I could give a 0, it would be a 0. The lady took our orders. We sat there for 40 minutes and our food never came. There were people who came after us who got their food before we did. Then I had to ask when is our food coming. She said let her go check. She then came back and asked us what we ordered. I asked her “so you did not even put in our orders?” She said no and asked
If we wanted to order to go instead! This was after we’ve been sitting there for 40 minutes! What kind of a person would waste someone else’s time like this without any acknowledgment of wrongdoing or apologies. We were very hungry and to be treated this way is just beyond anything I have ever experienced. The service was beyond unprofessional especially we waited patiently. Please save your time and money! It tells you a lot about the person and establishment when they treat others this way. We ended up going to Pho 79 instead where the service and food was 5 stars.

We placed our order at 1:15. She was bringing out food for the people that came after us. I asked where is our food. She said “it’s coming my friend!” I got my order at 1:45 and my husband food five minutes later. I don’t have a complaint about the food. It’s just that it took them more than half an hour to make the food.
