I would highly recommend this place. If you want a great appetizer, I would recommend the spicy fried chicken wing. Also, love the combo rice plate if you feel you want some variety and satisfaction. Of course the Pho, Bun Bo Hue, and Vietnames beef stew are all amazing. Make sure to have room, the portions are pretty large .

Was invited by my friends to try this place I heard it had great Vermecelli with Pork and it does not dissapoint. If I remember correctly number 38 was the best vermecelli they had and not only that the egg roll and chicken wings as the sides are simply something to seek for. The chicken wings are simply juicy and has crispy skin with some sweet notes while the egg roll has some savory flavour. Highly reccomend!!!

Crazy it took me this long to write a review! I have been here dozens of times, with the team, the family, the spouse, and thyself. Its everything – delicious, fast and good service, a rare spacious dining area, and cute accents. Please try and come again!

Their pho is slightly better than average. My parents thought it was a bit salty. I thought it was slightly overpriced. For a slightly more expensive bowl, I was still hungry after finishing. I think I had maybe 3 or 4 pieces of meat. Even my mom was able to finish her bowl, which she almost never does for an average bowl.

Solid pho spot, both the house special pho and the Bun Bo Hue are rich and flavorful! I always get egg rolls with my pho, and the ones here are good as well.

Fast sit down, fast food service, delicious quality food, very clean. If you come here, you better try the Pho. I got the #2 median special pho, lemon grass beef, spring roll, and my wife got a rice platter.
