Unfortunately, this place will never get return service from me. My partner went in here to get some shrimp pho for me since I have been sick. When he got home the broth smelled great but I thought the shrimp looked off. I decided to try it anyway and the texture was, uh, interesting. When I broke one open I realized, OH, they're not cooked all the way through! The shrimp were RAW on the inside. I'm a bit horrified, I already ate a few of them and have been recovering from illness. This is unacceptable and really dangerous. Half-cooked seafood? The entire order took a long time to prepare. My partner's food was good, but wrong, it was beef when it should have been pork. Looks like back to Pho Saigon we go.

The food is absolutely delicious. The gentleman at the front absolutely butchered my order. I asked for chilli oil 3 times and it’s missing. He charged me for shrimp egg rolls and pork egg rolls (since no shrimp was available); was able to remove the pork egg rolls but was having “trouble” removing the shrimp. He gave me back $3, the egg rolls are $6.95 lol. Food is yummy,but maybe get a younger person up front to handle the pickup orders.

Delightful place to pop in for lunch. Had the 72, 41 and ice drip coffee. My third time here. All of the food is amazing and very fresh. Service is a bit left to the imagination but still worth it. Note it was about $40 per person with tip.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Angel Perez · Dec 2025

The customer service here is terrible. The quality of Pho was very basic. The chicken, over-cooked. The price for chicken pho was $17-$18 after tax. The lemonade $8 but it looks like powder lemonade. The waiters act like they hate working. No personality at all. Not to mention they added 18% gratuity for awful service for just 2 adults and a 6 year old. I'll never come back. In fact, neither with my friend even though she recommended it. No lunch menu options. No kids options.No friendly service AT all. The seafood egg rolls were ok. Better than the pho. You get two tiny eggrolls for $8. There's better options in the area. It cost of $114 to have a terrible experience.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Rome · Nov 2025

Their food is definitely not #1 as their restaurant name. Pho was okay, 4/10 or honestly below 4. Broth has lots of MSG or whatever in there, make me and all my family feel really dizzy and nauseous after, which is never happen before, because we have pho many times from multiple different places. I’m not talking about the food authenticity, but the taste itself is not good and not recommended. Prices are decent. Employees seem like they’re always on their phones. Tried to ask for napkins, limes or anything, have to keep raising hands, waving and kind of scream out loud so they can hear you, because they don’t really check on you. Restaurant is a little bit dirty, makes us feel uncomfortable when dining. Overall, not a great experience.
