★★★★☆ 4.0 Barry Louie · Mar 2025

For me, the food was ordinary. I ordered bun cha with grilled pork and imperial roll. I mean that in a good way, not bad, but not great, but good enough that I would go back. The portions, however, are more than I expected, and as a 155lb man, I shouldn’t have eaten all of that food, but I didn’t want to see it go to waste either. I should have taken some home. The service was very warm, and that’s what I appreciated. I forgot to bring my wallet, and in a very nice, friendly way, the staff found a way to collect payment manually entering my CC info into their credit card device. Staff are 5, food is 3, hence my 4 star review. I would return to try other things on the menu.

Kind Service, standard Atmosphere, tasty food and drinks with generous proportions. We initially came in to get an appetizer, some Pho, and an entree for lunch. After sharing an order of the Imperial Egg Rolls which was probably meant for 1 person, we were full and had no room for anything else. The orange juice was creamy, smooth, and delicious. The place looked like most Vietnamese spots you've been to. The staff were kind, polite, friendly, and grateful. They were smiling and waving goodbye and thanked us as we left.

I was planning to come here several times and ended up here today. So far this place is the best among all that I have visited as a lover of Vietnamese soups. There was such a place on Irving, but after 35 years of business, it closed. And so I found the same quiet, unobtrusive place with good food. Look at this thick, flavorful soup - it's very good! I recommend.

Best pho in the city. I thought they were still closed from the damage in kitchen but not too sure now. If you’re still closed please open soon! Community members have even left letters and drawings on their doors since it’s THE BEST.

Read online reviews and decided to give this place a try. Wholesome Vietnamese comfort food. Tried the house special pho and it was great. Large portion, TONs of meat (which is a big bonus) and tasty broth. Definitely will come back to try out other dishes that all look delicious. The server was attentive and just have a very homy vibe 😀. If you are in this neighborhood, you should give this place a try. 🍜👍🏼💯🤩☺️
