Wonderful Pho, better than The Roots and Thai Cuisine. So good I came back the next day to repeat.
Their Kalmbination Pho (attached picture) comes with slices of eye of round, flank steak, brisket, Vietnamese meat ball, beef tendon and tripe (optional). With all of the assorted vegetable toppings, it makes for a wonderful Pho!

Edit: the quality of this restaurant has declined since my original glowing review from 8 years ago. Most likely due to a change in ownership. This has went from exclusively vietnamese place to more of a General Asian eatery which highlights things such as Kim chi, Japanese style noodles, and other dishes.
The vietnamese iced coffee is abysmal, some of the worst iced coffee I've had from any restaurant. The bahn mi is ok. The pho is still pretty good but not as good as it was previously (and still better than the pho at The Roots). Some of the new menu items are quite good, notably the fried chicken wings with sweet chili sauce.

I ordered this for the first time with Door Dash...I had never eat here before and I moved here from a larger city that had a legendary Vietnamese restaurant. Once you've had top level Vietnamese, you'll never settle for anything less. Over the years since I've been here...a couple of places have popped up and closed. I was always disappointed. Until I discovered this place...you....need...to.....go. Just. Go. Everything was packaged excellent for delivery and I practically inhaled everything I ordered. Portions were generous and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality. I cannot wait to go in person and try more of their menu. We are BLESSED to have such a high quality restaurant in this area. Well done!!!

This is the best Vietnamese food that I have had in years. We grew up eating pho in Atlanta in the 90s before Vietnamese food was on most people's radar. This is the first time I have had pho broth that met my expectations! My pho tai bo vien was delicious. My hubby had pho ga. Again, it was fantastic! Makes me sad I don't live in the area, but don't miss out eating here!

The broth is excellent! The homemade kimchi is excellent! The chicken in the teriyaki chicken was tender and tasty. Nothing we had was spicy so if you like it hot, ask for it. We had the tuna on tuna roll i cant remember the name. All of the sauces are kid friendly and a tiny bit sweet. The baguette was crunchy on the outside soft inside just like its supposed to be. Great for dipping in broth. I actively seek non chain restaurants and this one is great choice as there aren't many non chain restaurants nearby.
