Lunch time wasn't too busy. The pho broth was OK. There was something in it that tasted a little spicy, even before adding the Sriracha sauce. The egg rolls was tasty. Also the Vietnamese ice coffee was tasty!

We’ve been going here for years! They’ve had their ups and downs but they always take good care of us. It is the best Pho in town. Trust me, we’ve tried most places around here. They also have the best fried rice. Also be sure to check out the Mi Xao and the chef’s special noodle. This is a great place to go when you are feeling down or cold. It’s good medicine.

The MI Xao was delicious I have yet to find anything like it near me. Everyone there were really nice and helpful. Can’t wait till I can visit again.

A great experience all the way around! There was not a single thing we got that we did not like, and in our big group we got at least 8 meals. The staff was super personable and friendly and the chef even came over to ask how our food was! The pho is heavenly and there is a vegetarian option (that’s not on the menu). The beef short ribs are melt-in-your-mouth tender. 10/10 will definitely be returning

Delicious! I met some friends for lunch on a rainy day and the Pho Bo hit the spot. We also shared eggrolls and crispy dumplings to start. The shaking beef was outstanding and my friend also got a side of the short rib and it was so tasty! This is a great place to eat and the prices are reasonable too. Bonus that the boba tea place is next door for a dessert

On par with the best pho in the city. Great (and quick) service, friendly staff and looked like a lot of great menu items I will look at thoroughly next time. Beef pho is the king of soups and this broth came out hot (perfect) - which I have had issues getting at other soup spots around town. Will be back soon!!

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends. I had the Beef Brisket Pho, as always. The food tasted similar to Pho Phi in St. Matthew. My friend had the Seafood combination pho, which looked very tasty. I will choose this menu next time I come here. Our server was very friendly. The atmosphere inside was clean enough.

We are from out of town visiting. Quick stop at this Vietnamese restaurant. Good portion size for the price. Our server was great, she answered all our questions and made great recommendations.
