Disappointing Pho and Fried Rice
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We ordered the Pho and fried rice. The vegetables that came with the pho were not fresh at all. The fried rice was absolutely awful. The shrimp was overcooked, the beef and chicken both tasted old, and the peas & carrots in the rice were rubbery. I believe the fried rice dish was not cooked fresh when ordered. Such a disappointment. Will not be going back. Money wasted.

Delicious Rare Steak and Fried Rolls!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered number 8, which was the rare steak and shank, and it was absolutely delicious. The dish was hot, flavorful, but light and fresh. We also tried the fried rolls, which were also 10/10. The service, atmosphere, and food were all rated a perfect 5.

Delicious Pho and Refreshing Tea
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. I was initially offered a delicious hot lime tea. I also thoroughly enjoyed a flavorful pho noodle soup made with brisket only. The combination of these two elements made me fall in love with this Vietnamese soup.

Great Neighborhood Pho Spot
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The pho broth was lovely, with all the good spices and evident love put into it. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for your neighborhood pho shop.

Racist Service and Poor Experience
My experience at this restaurant was terrible. I believe the staff was racist. They wouldn’t serve my black nephew, even though they passed him twice with what he ordered and then gave it to another family. By the time this was happening, we were all done eating at our table.

Terrible Service, Wet Tables
Today, March 10th, 2025, on a Thursday at 6: 30 PM, we came inside and sat down at tables that were wet. The employee just watched us without saying hello or welcome. When I told the lady the table was wet, the guy said he had just cleaned it. Since then, my partner waited about 25 minutes, and no one took our order. I told my partner, let's go to another restaurant and not coming back here anymore 🥲🥲🥲🥲. Very baddddddd, not worthy to wait even if there's none any CUSTOMER around 🥲🥲🥲🥲.

Fresh Food, Friendly Staff, Great Go-To
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. They provide more than enough food, and everything tasted amazing and was incredibly fresh. The staff were very friendly and kind. Since it's close to my work, this will definitely be my go-to spot when I'm in the area.

Empty but Amazing Experience!
We visited on a Friday night and were surprised to find the restaurant completely empty. We couldn't understand why, as the music, vibes, and food were all great. Our cashier was amazing; he generously gave us two complimentary drinks after we shared our terrible food experience at Sea World. It's a very hospitable and good place with a fair price.

Amazing Hidden Gem for Late Night Bites!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Our server was incredibly chill and awesome to talk to. The pho was immaculate, and the Thai tea brought back so many memories. The vibe and atmosphere were so chill. It's a 11/10 for anyone needing something healthy and tasty late at night. I'll definitely be visiting again for more! 😋

Outstanding Service from Minh!
