Food was okay. More broth than noodles and the value is absolutely dismal for a $20 bowl. Inattentive staff had me asking for service more than once (although they were nice). Coffee was too sweet, had 3/4 of the cup filled with ice. The shrimp baguette came with imitation crab with no shrimp to be seen. Didn’t want to bother with complaining. The big new sign that says they changed their name should have been a big indication that something was going to be amiss. As much as I’d like to support local businesses, it’s hard not to pass on this one.

I enjoyed every single bite, the service here was amazing, the interior was excellent, but most importantly the food. The food was amazing, very authentic! The coffee was perfect, it hits every spot! If you’re looking to try Authentic Vietnamese food I definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely worthy for dinner dish? I got two of Roti Chicken dishes for me and other friends. We are all in love with this dish and definitely come back to try Pan Bread. Roti chicken dishes are always a hit, especially with that crispy and flavorful chicken. ☺️

Me and a friend got lunch here two pho’s the waiter was obviously sick and was not wearing gloves when bringing out our side veggies for our pho as well as after she gave us our veggies she left and we did not see her again I had to go find her to get my water refilled, Not to mention they are also in the middle of a renovation and the scenery is not pleasant whatsoever the food was good nothing to complain about but the service was absolutely awful I will not be going back.

This restaurant is a gem in Des Moines. My partner and I are repeat customers and go specifically for their pho. The broth is unmatched in our opinion to the others in the area.

Such an authentic dining experience! I really enjoyed the special Pho, very rich beef broth flavor and tender cuts of meat. We also tried their shrimp toast-- crunchy and super creamy. Also don't forget to get yourself a drink, they have a good variety of options, they were just right amount of sweetness and strong coffee flavor. Staff were helpful! One of the best Viet restaurant in town! Can't wait to try out the rest of their menus.

I've been here a couple of times great food, but some of the worst service I've experienced. ?
Vietnamese coffee with the cheese foam! Omg to die for. It’s super rich and sweet but it’s heaven! The woman recommended it and it changed my life! Haven’t had their pho yet but it looks amazing too. I’ll update my review when I eat there! Go! Get the cheese foam!

The special pho was good. The filling in the crab wontons was okay, but the wrap was hard to chew and a bit thick. The chicken wings were alright.

Can't give it any more than 3 stars even though the pho was delicious. The server sat us down, took our order (didn't offer appetizers or a drink, simply ended up with water), delivered the food, and then never saw her again. Even had to basically walk into the kitchen to find someone to pay. They were in the back all sitting there on their phones and playing music. The only options for the spring rolls are shrimp or vegetarian. No pork. Really wanted to like this place, but the service was nonexistent

I wouldn’t have thought this was a restaurant based off of the name, and if I just found it on my own I probably wouldn’t have trusted their food. But a friend recommended them to me and I kid you not, this was the best pho I’ve had in my life. I thought all pho tasted relatively the same, so their pho was an eye opener to me.If I lived closer I would be here all the time. We had the restaurant to ourselves almost the whole time, which made me want to recommend them to more people because their pho is amazing and more people should give them a shot!
