Customer Reviews
I arrived around 7:00 PM, and the place was very busy with a long line. While waiting, I noticed most customers were eating traditional flat rice noodles, but when my bowl came, the noodles were round and chewy, similar to fresh hu tieu, possibly because they had run out of the earlier batch. The beef was good quality and flavorful. The broth was clear and light, though for my personal taste, it was not very bold or rich. Most of the staff were older men, very kind, calm, and friendly. Cash only, no receipt provided. My family ordered 2 large bowls, 1 medium bowl, and 1 side of beef meatballs, total $56. There is an ATM near the restroom entrance, which is convenient.
What's the rave about? Extremely watered down and the large was a joke. Price is decent but am I just paying for a snack? Kids were starving and asked for extra food somewhere else afterwards. Family thought it was ok but look at the color of this broth. How much did they need to water it down to get it to this dull color? The flavor was bland, watered down and lost all the complexity of a true beef pho. Good pho is a deep brown color that's not dull, it's translucent and the taste should linger in the mouth for several seconds after you slurp it. It was edible at best. The wait was 45 mins! Not worth it.
This is easily my top 3 pho! The broth was so delicious. Beef was tender and all the veggies were fresh! The pho was flavorful and satisfying. Fast service, cash only (ATM inside he restaurant), they also have free parking! Saved on my Google map and will come back again for sure if I’m in the area.
Didn't realize how popular this spot was!!! Restaurant was FULL and there will most likely be a line. A heads-up that this spot is CASH ONLY, and parking can be full and hectic on weekends, peak hours. Ambiance was very busy, lots of people and conversation going, and possibility that you might have to sit with other people in the bigger tables. Do expect a bit of a wait for your food. I usually order the vermicelli or rice dishes when I'm at a Vietnamese restaurant, but I had to check out what the hype around their pho was! Their broth was very clear, aromatic, and flavorful than most places we've been to, and in my opinion, their rice noodles were well cooked. My partner also tried their iced lemon tea, which he said was very refreshing, pure lemon and black tea, no sugar :)
CASH ONLY PLACE! They have very authentic Pho. I had the Pho Ga (chicken noodle soup) It was good! Authentic taste. I would wish there to be chilli oil on the side tho. The place was busy but since I went alone, I was able to be seated ASAP. This is a cash only place so remember to take cash!
