Decent pho spot with plenty of parking. The pho is good—not too oily—and the toppings come on the side, which I like. The place is clean, and the pho tastes homemade. I ordered the brisket bowl, and it was solid.

Sriracha, sauces, and water are self-serve near the cashier. It gets busy during weekday lunch, so expect a bit of a crowd. The cashier could work on their customer service—blunt and not very friendly when asked a question. Some servers don’t speak much English, and the cart they push around is pretty loud and distracting.

The place has a no-frills vibe, which makes sense why people keep coming back. They have a big menu, including bubble tea. The chairs and booth benches could use some fixing, as they feel unstable. Overall, not bad—the chalk decorations add a nice touch.

Ordered from here and was excited to try finally! Until I took a bite into my pho! A sharp piece of the container was broken into it. Not a great experience. Please be more careful when packing the food this could have ended up badly. And just realized I didn’t get my pork buns I ordered. (Not a great experience).

I love coming to eat here. The food is always so good. I love the quiet atmosphere, the only thing is that we went 10-09-24 we were eating enjoying our food and the red hair employee came out with her loud ass music playing at full volume on her phone. It was very distracting. Why doesn’t she listen to it on earphones or something.

Got a banh mi and an order of egg rolls to go. Egg rolls were standard, good but nothing incredible. The banh mi was very good, my only complaint is that there was a lot of bread and it was pretty tough to chew.. the meat and veggies were excellent though.
All in all would go back given food was solid and prices were reasonable

Veggie spring rolls were good, vermicelli bowl was awful - the cucumber ribbon awkward to eat and the pork crispy rolls were mushy and raw in the center. Even the iced tea was unpleasantly flavored. The restaurant needs a good wipedown and my shoes stuck to the sticky floor. Lots of people came in so I guess they have their fans. I'm not one. Jenni's does it much better.

BEST pho broth I've had in a while. Go during lunch to take advantage of their Lunch Specials. This place doesn't disappoint.

I have a weakness for Vitenamese food. Tonight, I shared a delicious Pho Thai and a filet mignon bánh mì with my husband at Nam Eatery. We also had steamed dumplings. The whole food was minimal fat and very tasty. Actually the large portion of Pho was perfectly equilibrated in terms of broth/herbs/spices. We ordered and paid at the counter before choosing our table. The service was fast and the staff very courteous and very discreet. No Vietnamese music. It was a quiet ambiance and we had a pleasant conversation.The place is very clean and despite it is small, every customer can eat peacefully. The decor has a modern touch with its mid century inspiration metallic chairs. Certain walls have been covered with beautifully executed monochrome frescoes.Cảm ơn for this simple, but excellent dinner!

Parking: Parking is easy at night in front of the restaurant. It is free.
