My family used to come here 20 years ago. Still great! The atmosphere was chill with music and a very sweet waitress! Definitely will come back! Amazing egg rolls and all the food had great flavor thank you!

Nothing is better than a bowl of Pho when feeling kinda crummy or it gets cold outside. Absolutely fantastic food and nice area to sit and eat too. Will definitely come back to try more.

Note that the peppers have all their seeds in them still and are very spicy.

My family and i were in the area so we decided to try some places around there and stopped at this place. A little restaurant, waiter was super friendly and the food were pretty good. Spring roll was a giant! The spring roll sauce was on the sweeter side. Got cream cheese wonton.. can't never go wrong with that. The wonton sauce was on the sweeter side more Pineapple favor. My spouse got pho V8 and my son got V3 or V2. The Pho broth was a little plain but a little salt and you can taste it better. No fish sauce on the table but you can always ask. They ran out of Bean sprouts but it's fine. Hopefully only today. I got V9, it was pretty good. The sauce definitely hit the spot! It's like a bite and u want more! If you do get V9 Wrap the meat rice eggs on in the lettuce and dip in the sauce. Promise it is delicious!

Overall it was an okay experience - nothing spectacular. The food was pretty good I had the beef pho phō with spring rolls. I also ordered a banh mi sandwich to go. The service on the other hand, left much to be desired ?.

I believe it was the owner that seated me and took my order. She did not bring my tea that I ordered to have before my meal, I had to remind her. Mind you, there were no other patrons in the restaurant at that time. When my food arrived, I did not have any sauces or spices to go with it. The hostess stayed in the kitchen throughout the duration of my meal, and did not check to see if I needed anything - so I pillaged the sauces and spices I needed from other tables that were better stocked.

When I was ready to go, my bill was not brought to me - no one checked to see if I was done or needed anything. I went up to the counter and asked for boxes and bags for my remaining food.
I believe it was the hostess's husband that finally came over to me with my bill. I was boxing up my foods, and he set my bill down right next to where I was pouring soup, and nearly dumped the foods onto the bill itself.

As to whether or not I'll be back to this location again I am uncertain... Although the food was better than some places, the service and atmosphere where's severely lacking. For me, that is a big proponent of how well I tip, and if I choose to return

Just finished my lunch special. Beef, green pepper, pineapple, onion, and tomato. Good amount of beef. Rice was fine too.

Just moved into the neighborhood and tried their sesame chicken daily plate and the crab rangoons. Both were sooo yummy and big portions. Loved the inside it was so cute. This will probably be my go to spot for now on!!

Pho is delicious. Spring rolls...amazing. my new secret spot to go. the chili sauce not for the faint of heart it made my pho even better. . big portions and reasonable price. Visit on an empty stomach.

I went on a Wednesday night at 7pm. Empty restaurant. Ordered the Pho Rau Cai. Huge portion. Enough for 2. Spicy in all the right ways. Perfectly cooked tofu. Such fresh veggies, cabbage, carrots, sprouts, hot pepper, pea pods, broccoli, chives snd a ton of basil. Chefs kiss!
