this is such a lovely place! the food is amazing (i recommend the pho, it’s enough for two meals), the atmosphere is beautiful (especially during sunset), and the staff are delightful. definitely one of my favorite restaurants in richmond!

Congratulations this is the worst pho I have tried so far! And for 30 dollars what a deal. I ordered beef pho with meatballs the meatballs were going bad, I told the waiter and they said okay he went and whispered to the other staff and didn’t said anything. Their drinks are nice but very expensive too.

Paid about $30 each for poor food and service, the noddle is overcooked, taste so very ordinary.

I seriously love this place, been going here since 2017. I live super far away, so every time I’m in town I make a point to come here because it is seriously one of a kind. My issue is that every time I come here, it’s a different closing time. The first thing my waiter tells me is that the kitchen will be closing soon (at 8:15; when the close on here says 9:30). They are pleasant, not nice. The last time I was here they rushed me out at 8:50. It’s just a bummer to get a massive, delicious, and HOT bowl of pho and then try to funnel it down your throat as fast as you can. I would love to just finish it normally, but when I’m checked on every 5 minutes to see if I’m done with the massive, HOT soup, which is NOT CHEAP, it ruins it. Back when I first started coming here, it was $15 a bowl, normal size, and delicious. Now it’s $25 and HUGE, just too much food for any normal person, especially if you’re going to rush them to eat it. I fear this was my last visit. Too many great RVA spots too pick from (that have consistent hours) to have to suffer through a bowl of expensive, hot, pho.

The vegan pho was outstanding. Everything was presented so tastefully to highlight the fresh ingredients. Plus they have a beautiful patio.💗

I'm still dreaming about these noodles.

The butterfly pea noodles were incredible. Our server was really sweet and knowledgeable on the menu as well. The price is a little high, but you can be confident in a good meal surrounded by a beautiful environment.

The food is delicious, however if I were rating it, I would give it 3.75 out of 5 stars. I go into eating here knowing that it’s expensive and being OK with that, but I do have a problem with there being an automatic 20% gratuity put onto my bill and an additional 3% for credit cards. So that $25 vegan Pho is really a $31 dish. I’m going to tip 20% anyway, but let that be up to me.

Best pho I’ve ever had. The brisket pho was wildly good. Accommodating staff (we came with a baby) and terrific experience.

OMG! In Richmond for the night and ordered take out delivered to my hotel. If I could give this a Michelin Star, I would. This was such an innovated , original , and delicious party in my mouth meal. I’m sad that I won’t get back here for a long time to enjoy this food again. Shrimp skewer, lemon grass turmeric tofu with an egg on top, brown rice spring rolls, potato pie, all amazing! Bravo!!
Maybe I have not had enough vegan food in Virginia but, this was the best vegan meal I have had in Virginia. Yes you are going to pay a little more but I promise you it is worth it. I couldn't even say no to their desserts.

$26.79 for one hydration tea and one house chai tea. Should not cost more than $10 max.

Came here again after a year hiatus for no particular reason then it’s a little pricey. Had family in town and wanted to show off a great place for Pho, Vietnamese food, and tea. Service was lack luster especially with how few customers the place had, but we have experienced that there and around Richmond before. The appetizers and tea were good as before. When the entrees came out it was a different story. My husband ordered the Bo Kho Sai Gon - Beef Stew which says it’s Grass Fed Flank Steak stewed for 24h. So he’s thinking it’s going to be melt in your mouth beef. Instead he got a globular structure of tendon, cartilage, and beef hide. He’s not one to return food and a tried it and it was tough. I got our waiter and told him. He looked puzzled, even after showing him the glob, but said I’ll ask the chef. After 10 minutes he then brings out frozen cut brisket on a plate and said to put it in stew for a bit and it will melt and be better. Husband put it in and waited 10 min, still rock hard; the stew was cold.
I asked the waiter to speak with the manager, return the soup, and take the meal preferably off the check since it was inedible. Waiter came back and said that he’s sorry he didn’t disclaim to us about that dish and many customers have said the same thing but they cannot take it off the check what so ever. That’s how it’s made here and the way it is. I said can I talk to the manager in person and waiter said unfortunately no. I also told him that on top of that my Pho had chunks of brisket fat, which I ate and meatballs that tasted like moth balls thus ruining my appetite. I said I’ll pay because I ate half but my husband did not touch it. The waiter said sorry can’t do anything. The bill came to $147! Yes I paid because we do not need police involved over a dispute.
What poor customer service. What restaurant manager does not come out, take responsibility, and apologize or make it right so the customer comes back?! They have lost my business indefinitely and I hope that whomever goes there to think twice about what they serve you.

The entrees they served my sons was terrible. They need on the stew said it was beef flank on the menu, what he got was a bunch of tendons and cartilage. My other son said the meat balls tasted like moth balls. I was very disappointed, food was sub par, they have a high dollar menu and they use parts of animals that I wouldn’t serve my dogs. The manager didn’t even have the decency to come to the table and at least make it right!
