I visited this restaurant with my son and overall the food was good, but the service and some details could definitely improve.
We both ordered the chicken pho as part of the lunch combo, which includes a canned soda and two rolls. The pho was very good and the rolls were tasty. However, when they brought the food, they gave my son three rolls and I didn’t receive mine. I had to call the waitress over to ask about it. She apologized and brought the missing roll afterwards.
I also ordered a lemonade, which I thought was very expensive at $5.99. It comes in a sealed plastic cup and is not refillable, and the cup was about half full of ice. Considering the size of the cup, it felt overpriced.
Later I ordered some food to go: orange chicken with steamed rice and beef with Chinese broccoli, and both portions looked well served.
One thing I did not like was that the waitress never came to check on us even once during the meal. Each time we needed something, I had to call her over myself.
Another issue was the table. It was extremely sticky. I’m not sure if it was from the cleaning cloths they use, but everything stuck to the table, even the plastic bag with the utensils.
The restaurant is small and the tables are very close together, and you also have to wait for the waitresses to seat you. It seemed like there were only one or two waitresses for the whole place.
The jalapeños served with the pho were extremely spicy, and that says a lot because I’m Mexican and used to spicy food.
One thing that was also unusual is that they don’t bring the check to the table. Even if you ask for it, they tell you to go pay at the front counter, and when you ask for the receipt they only show the total amount, not the itemized charges.
Overall, the food tasted good, but the service, table cleanliness, and billing process could definitely be improved.

Really cute place with friendly service and delicious food! The teas were delicious and my vermicelli bowl was excellent. My son loved his tofu and rice plate - great to find some vegetarian options!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and the restaurant itself is absolutely spotless. You can really tell they care about quality and the little details—even their water is purified reverse osmosis, not just regular tap! Everything is prepared fresh to order and consistently tastes incredible. Their lunch specials are an unbeatable deal—generous portions, super affordable, and always fresh. But the absolute star of the show is their Pho; it is hands down my favorite! I highly, highly recommend giving this gem a try!

It is always a great experience to eat here, food is like homemade, delicious and I love their vegan options. They are a family business and they really care about serving the best food, the veggie pho is a bomb, my fav. If you are in the area this is the place, you can’t go wrong with all the options they have.

Pleasantly surprised. Pho was excellent, fresh and tasty with the right herbs and spices, but not too much so. The broth was better, more flavorful and richer than at most Thai or Viet places. Ambience, while not high end, is comfortable/nice - for one thing, this is one of the few restaurants around here that plays nice, mellow background music instead of hyper pop or some other noise. When we go out to eat we want a pleasant experience, not busy and loud. Seating was pretty good - not those hard, cold chairs at some restaurants. Service was good, not outstanding but decent.

At this place is a very nice location and great service. Their food is amazing too. A highly recommended for a cozy dining place.
The rock ‘n’ roll rice plate will have 8/10, it has good beef. I recommended the chef can make the beef more tender, now it is a little overcooked, but overall the flavor is balanced and the most important that you can taste the “wok”which from a quick wok cooking style that you can get from the street food. That is one of my favorite feeling and vibe of this cuisine.
That combination pho is I will give it 8 out of 10 , the meat is tender and when it is just put on your table, some meat looks a bit raw, but just in several seconds everything is ready. The soup is refresh, light and balanced. However, the Vietnam noodle is just OK, not that smooth as some other restaurants. I would recommend improve the rice noodle part and this cuisine could be more perfect and amazing!
The fried egg roll is 7/10, as the skin is a little over fried but the sauce and also the inside is pretty nice.
Overall, we have about $40 for these all three foods for two people. Nice place!
Unfortunately, my experience at this Vietnamese restaurant was extremely disappointing due to the customer service. The owner was very rude and unprofessional. During a simple interaction, I was called cheap, which was completely disrespectful and unnecessary. No customer deserves to be spoken to that way, regardless of the situation. Good food cannot make up for poor treatment and lack of respect. also they want me to pay twice, I will not be returning and do not recommend this place to anyone who values being treated with basic courtesy.

Never come back. Not many customers but it took more than 30 minutes to have food. I ordered a small bowl of pho and I had one like a bowl for kid. Not much meat and even noodle. The container that hold toothpick is very dirty They should use an individual toothpick is wrap in plastic for customers. No hand soap in the restroom.
