★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mallory Cyr · Jan 2026

My husband and I came here for a late lunch after moving to the area a few months ago. The service was genuinely excellent — the staff were incredibly friendly, patient, and thoughtful. There’s a sign noting that food may take time (this isn’t fast food), but everything came out in a reasonable timeframe and in the right order: drinks, appetizers, then entrées. We even witnessed the staff handle a very rude customer with impressive kindness and professionalism. The restaurant is simple and spacious, and we had plenty of room for our mobility devices without feeling in the way, which we really appreciated. We ordered the salty lemonade, strawberry shake with boba, rice cake appetizer, meatball pho, and combination fried rice. With tip, the total came to about $80 for two people. Overall,

I normally don’t like to leave reviews let alone poor reviews but wow …… — Was pretty empty when we got there - over half of seating was empty (this will be important later on) — Took 45 minutes to get our food after asking multiple times (I actually to get up and ask since the staff was not attentive) — Had to get up to ask for water 2x as well because again they weren’t attentive at all after I raised my hand - also we had to ask 2x because after the first time I asked for water they literally didn’t bring it after we waited for like 10 minutes — I finally asked them for snacks or something to munch on (the guy said oh we ran out of snacks we usually give out on special occasions) - obviously I didn’t come here to finesse free snacks out of them - everyone in the restaurant was visibly

The pho was aromatic and great. Perfect for curing a hangover. Beef was tender with a rich broth. I can tell they take their time with getting the flavor right. All the ingredients were fresh. Clean and authentic restaurant with plenty of parking around. Would love to return!

This is my first time coming to the restaurant. Tonight we came in a table of 6 people. Food quite delicious for Broken Rice & Vermicelli with pork grill. However, Hue Beef Noodle & Pho are moderate. The time to wait for food was more than 30 mins. The unpleasant thing I’d want to leave a review 1 stars as of 2 following reasons: 1/ Not transparent in billing. - when the waitress came to give out the bill for us, how could she still tend to take the tips extra 20% up 20% included in the bill? The total bill is around $100. Add up service tip 20% already total ~$120. Then the final number is more than 145$? Is it really a matter to a bill $100 to end up in almost $150? I’d like to kindly ask the owner/manager should train the staff to be honest at asking tip as you already charge customer

★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Curry · Feb 2026

This has become our go-to spot—we’ve been coming here consistently for quite a while, and the food is always on point. The service is attentive and friendly as well. The only challenge is that it gets pretty packed on weekends, and it feels like they could use a few more staff members during those busy times. Overall, a reliable place we’re always happy to return to.
