Frequently criticized
- serviceService sucks we sat down for ten minutes and no service

- Quality controlQuality control is not a thing here apparently
- attitudeMy experience at this restaurant was marred by a negative interaction with a staff member. After I had already paid for my food, the lady gave me an attitude when I asked for an avocado overload to go. This was a disappointing end to my order.

Disappointing Experience with Service and Food
I visited this restaurant with my daughter and her classmates. We ordered 3 kids combos and 1 large bowl of pho. The server repeatedly questioned the ages of the children, as the kids combo is for ages 12 and under.
We wanted the children to have their own meals, but in hindsight, we should have ordered regular and extra bowls to share to save money. Later, we were informed they were out of drinks that were supposed to come with the kids combo. No substitution or accommodation was offered, even though they were selling bubble tea and other drinks.
The vibe and service were slow and painful, but I didn't want to make a scene with the kids. The children enjoyed each other's company, which was the only positive aspect of this experience. If you're craving a bowl of expensive, mediocre noodles and don't care about anything else, this place might work.
Otherwise, don't even consider it.

Amazing Iced Teas and Delicious Pho!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I've never tasted such a thr best selection of iced teas and fruit drinks. Their food is also delicious, with large portions and fresh ingredients.
The prices are fairly priced, and there's a great selection. I highly recommend ordering directly from them using their app for way better prices and selection than third-party apps. I frequently pick up food from here, which is something I don't do for many places.
😋 My favorites are any of their phó, spring rolls, and Berry Tea. If you're feeling under the weather, the chicken phơ is magical. Enjoy!

Good Food, Late Opening
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of good food and a frustrating start. The drink and food were really good. However, the opening time was really late; I had to wait 20 minutes outside.
They were scheduled to open at 11 am, but they actually opened at 11: 15 am.

Good Service, Okay Pho
My experience at the restaurant involved having the steak pho with a summer roll. The service was excellent, and my food arrived right away. It was 1: 00 PM, and there was only one other family present.
The broth was okay, and the noodles were a bit soft. The prices are reasonable at $16 for a medium bowl.

Absolutely Loved My Banh Mi!
My wife and I ordered from this place via Uber Eats to our hotel after a long day of exploring Seattle. My wife enjoyed her Pho, but I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED my Banh Mi. The baguette was perfectly crispy, the pickles and herbs were excellent, and the meat was perfectly seasoned. Every flavor was amazing.
I highly recommend their Banh Mi!
