Healthy options here, pho was tasty and egg rolls were good and crunchy. My gf enjoyed her vermicelli bowl too.

Not sure what was going on the day my family and I went but there were several items on the menu that were out of stock. Long story short we ended up going to &pizza which turned out great.

Went here for casual lunch with coworkers and had not been before (but a coworker had been here before) and was super happy with what we got. I got the garlic rice veggie bowl with peanut sauce. I liked the crispy tofu, garicky rice, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. My only regret was not getting the crispy spring rolls. I really enjoyed the large portion size for price and if you cannot finish you can get lids that they have to go.Lunch is really busy and it’s chaotic but it was fast given the lunch rush and it’s super casual. I am looking forward to going back!Vegetarian options: Has veggie options

Ordered two boba and Thai basil chicken, which came with no basil. Really affects the taste… disappointed that it didn’t come with basil for some reason since I was excited to have a location closer than the Tyson’s one….

BEST PHO BROTH Ever!!! They use add oxtail to the beef broth that makes it delicious!! I can't eat pho from anywhere else since I've had it here. The cost is a bit more expensive, but the flavor of the broth is unique my absolute favorite!! I typically order it to go, but the inside of the place looks like good vibes!

Honestly, we went there thinking “How bad can it be?” because it is not your hole in the wall kind of Vietnamese restaurant. Well, it met our expectations. The food was delicious and the view in the restaurant is amazing. We got their protein bowl and the Vietnamese sandwich style bowl.

Unbeknownst to me, and should have known by the name, it's a food hall. Down stairs is like a smoothie and drink shop while upstairs they have pho and other vietnamese plates. I had a bone broth beef pho and 3 summer rolls (beef, chicken, and tofu). If you have a shrimp allergy, be careful because many items have shrimp. I also go the herbal hibiscus tea with 25% sugar (my friend said the full 100% was cloying sweet so I just toon her word for it) which was the oerfect amount. The straws are kind if not large enough for the fruits but just eat them at the end of the drink. The pho was pretty good, not spectacular but not bad at all. My friend had the spicy octails pho and she said ut was perfect. The summer rolls were really tasty with the sweet chili sauce and that little fried wontop stick elevated the entire bite. Although place gives a sense of cold industrialism, there is a nice view outside and towards the back, there is nice steppe seating with oittle cushions and cheagers on each tier. Its a unique space but the food is worth it for lunch or a midway bite between school/work and home. The service is quick...but id suggest using the kiosks to order until the app has the right mebu items up. They dont sell alcohol but they have an alcohol selection and beer selection in app. Anyway check it out, driving there and parking is hell so good luck. There is free street parking after 8pm though.

I order on Uber eats weekly. Extremely fast, affordable and amazing. The spicy veggie pho with tofu and the honey glazed tofu wrap are my favorite EVER!!!! I call them my “cure all”. The side of pho is huge and enough for a

I ordered the shrimp egg foo young which was burnt and chicken wings that was bruised and cooked. The chicken wings was so bruised that you can see it once you broke the chicken wing apart.

This restaurant comes close to being truly superb but it is lacking a few things. If you're someone who eats a lot of pho, don't order the beef pho here. You will not get the same taste or experience as a place like Pho 75 down the street. A place like Pho 75 offers a lot more beef options (well-done brisket, rare brisket, tripe, meatballs) whereas only offers two types of beef, both of which taste overcooked.The reason I give this restaurant 5 stars is because the spicy ox-tail pho is honestly the best tasting pho I have ever eaten--and I'm a southeast Asian who eats a lot of pho. The broth is just incredible--it's got this amazingly savory bone broth taste but without the msg. If this restaurant had larger pho bowls (instead of just a small bowl), and more beef options like at a typical pho restaurant, then they really would be the best pho hands down.

Trash Pho. Broth not hot or good. They put all the sprouts in without asking making the luke warm soup even colder. Don’t order the raw pho meat. Broth not hot enough to cook it. Positive reviews are most likely

So disappointed to have to leave this review. We have been ordering take out weekly from this restaurant since their opening. I attended the yelp elite opening reception back in 2020 and always loved their food.It's been a few months now that there is a lack of consistency in the flavors, ingredients, portion sizes etc. We usually order to go and there is always an ingredient missing, or the same dish tastes different and way off from the last time, or the portions vary significantly from one week to the other. Today I just had it. my bowl had a spoiled avocado, there were multiple pieces of avocado skin in my food, the chicken was slimey tasting and smelling, and the "garlic" rice tasted nothing like garlic (as opposed to a month ago when I ordered), so I'm sure it wasn't even garlic rice. Needless to say the food went in the trash and I'm hoping I don't get sick from the piece of chicken I ate.There is certainly no quality control and no care to offer good food anymore. I am very disappointed and have made the decision to stop patronizing this place.

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. I got the fully loaded vermicelli bowl which came with 2 veggie rolls, with sweet chili sauce. The rolls were fried to a ideal crispiness - the crunch and flakiness was perfect. However, the filling was average, and I wonder if the meat option would have been more flavorful. The bowl itself was a lot larger than i had expected it to be. There was only one sauce provided, and it was just barely enough sauce to lightly dip the rolls and drizzle over the bowl. Otherwise, there was no real seasoning on the rice noodles, making the sauce selection crucial to your bowl experience. I got the chicken, which was warm and tender amid the other cold/room temperature ingredients. The sweet chili sauce drizzle made the bowl. The pickled vegetable toppings, bean sprouts, cilantro, and cucumber were very good with the noodles and chicken. Overall surprised with how good this bowl was, and how much food it was for $15 post tax.
