The guy that was serving seem uninviting. My daughter even said it looked like he is tired or having a bad day. Absolutely NO CUSTOMER service he was the cashier. Just horrible first expression. Would not go back but we did like the soup in all fairness the portion size and condiments that we’re offered with it was good. Also the place needs a decent upkeep. It’s a restaurant not a haven for tumble weed.

First impression was horrible, I walk in and the cashier is telling a guys to move because he needs the space In a rude manner, next we order and the food taste good and there is good chili oil but the portions are small in my opinion. Had a small pho bowl and 3 pieces of brisket was all I got for almost $13

Place was great! Some of the best pho I’ve had. Just visiting for the weekend and happened to come across this place. Hidden gem

Food was outstanding. Service was friendly and prompt. I found the taste on par with other highly rated Pho Restaurants. Some reviews I read stated the portions were small, I found the opposite, now size was large in my opinion. Maybe they changed their portion size recently. Overall great place, great food, friendly and clean.

We only had their pho and fried tofu today. When it comes to the taste, its really delicious and we couldnt wait to try their other food. The only thing i didnt like was the pork on my soup coz it wasnt sliced thin for it to cook in my hot soup. But again taste wise, i cant complain. For tofu serving i think its to little or not enough for its price, i was expecting more. But its really yummy so definitely will get some of this again when i come back
