Really great pho place. I will say, while the names are interesting, they do cause some confusion for normal ordering. I have no idea when they brought the food out which one was mine. Still good place to eat.

Food is ok.. not great.. Service is worst, they didn’t care to serve water, chopsticks and tissues to our table.. very rude staff. Will never go there again and will not recommend it.

Excited for a Vietnamese restaurant in Little Elm. The menu are very simple with basic choices for Pho. My wife tried rare beef noodle, $14.99 while I ordered Shaken Beef noodle, which is $16.99 and because I wanted beef, they added $3.99, which I found very weird. The noodles and broth to us were very tasty while the noodles in the Shaken beef was just blank and portion was small. I tried their Vietnamese coffee and it was worse than other places, no taste of coffee or condense milk but more like burned beans. Total was $50 for 2 entrees and a coffee. I found it little pricy for the portion served.

What can I say? I say bowl of pho was great (what the pho). Their shrimp rolls were awesome. Only one way to find out. Come check this out.

Pho is the cure-all for colds, hangovers, sniffles, Mondays, and an easy dinner for the kids. When I want a proper bowl of pho-- this is my go to. The pho broth is 5/5- consistently herbacious, flavorful, umami, and soothing. The noodles are the flat pho noodles, never clumpy or overcooked 5/5. The meat (brisket and rare steak) is tender and so yummy 5/5. Also exceptionally good is their version of shaky beef (bo luc lac) and the sugar cane juice. Order ahead online to save yourself a wait time for pickup.

I always pass this place when headed to Little Elm from Carrollton. Decided to give it a try. I usually pay no more than $5.95 for spring rolls, today I payed $7.80 for wilted/brown lettuce in my spring roll. Not the best I’ve tried. Appetizers are what make you want more of the menu. I was disappointed that my spring roll was as bad as it was being that I’ve been wanting to try this place and also by viewing the reviews it looked appetizing. I just feel if I pay a good price I should get good quality, rant over. Cute decor and nice sign that attracted me to the spot! ?

Finally there is a great Pho restaurant in Little Elm. The food was amazing - a little bit pricey but worth it. Tried the "Holy Cow" and it tasted so good.

It happens to be within a few minutes of our home so we figured we would stop in. The food was excellent and the restaurant was clean and updated. We are happy to know we have a go-to Pho restaurant close to us. I highly recommend you try their food. You won't be disappointed!

The Frisco/Little Elm area is lacking Vietnamese cuisine so when we saw this spot on the map, we were eager to try because the pho restaurants we’ve been to in the area have been vastly disappointing.We’ve been to this spot twice now and did not experience any waits, probably mostly due to the time we arrived. There’s a kiosk to order from if ordering to-go which is quite convenient.They had a variety of options for pho and a select few other dishes as well which is great. I like having options. Their naming for their dishes were quite clever so props to the owner for that. Pricing for the food is reasonable given the current market right now.My wife kept it simple and went with the Just Pho You which is just ribeye slices in hot beef broth. I opted for the Bo Ne since there aren’t many Vietnamese restaurants that serve that here. Both were fantastic choices. The pho broth was actually seasoned well and very aromatic. Upon first sip, we knew we had found our new spot for pho. The Bo Ne was also good. They give quite a bit of extras in veggies. This typically isn’t included in Bo Ne so that was a welcome addition. The steak and sauce were well seasoned. It is hard to get Bo Ne wrong after all.Finally, the sugar cane drink was good. The second time we had it wasn’t as good and was lacking something. However, it is nice to know this place offers sugar cane drink as it is quite popular overseas.Our experience here was great and we will definitely be coming back!
