Gao Restaurant Reviews
Food is good, but has changed a lot under the new management. It used to feel like a nice limey broth, but has recently felt more like a light stock. It doesn't have that refreshing feel anymore, and there are a lot more noodles than meat. It's still good, but I just wish it had a little more of the acidity I used to like when it was under the new management. Also, they are missing a lot of bubble tea options, such as lychee, and should consider promoting their bobas. Maybe even...read full review
Disappointing menu for pho - basic plus extra cost options. The banh mi was just okay, mostly due to the somewhat stale sandwich rather than a baguette. The rice dish with pork presented well but the pork was overcooked. Service was apathetic. Appearance is a slight upgrade over the previous owner.

Very, very nice staff and great service. The man who delivered the soup was exceptionally friendly.Very spartan decor, but clean.Two stars for food however because the soup broth (particularly the pho ga) tasted very heavily like chicken bouillon. The beef may have also had bouillon added as it had a bit of an aftertaste. The noodles were al dente, the meat a good quality, and the side plate of herbs fresh.
