This could possibly be the best Pho broth in the city. Portions were generous and prices were fair. I honestly can't wait to go back.

Wonderful gem of a restaurant. Everything we tried was cooked to perfection. Deserving of 5 stars. I have passed this restaurant while visiting Bep boba place for years, and finally now decided to check it out. It seems not eating here before was my miss. Hence decided to write this review while finishing my pho. It will be a regular restaurant for our family now.

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.

Wonderful Beef rib Bánh mì sandwich and combination Pho. Ingredients were fresh and the food was delivered to the table nice and hot. Service was also good, and quick. This place makes the best lunch time go-to if you're craving Vietnamese. Not much ambiance, but a great place to get your fill.

This place was very nice! We went early Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty, food and drinks came out quick and were delicious. Honestly the best fried rice I've had. Also loved the crispy dumplings.

My friend and I spotted this place when we were walking to The Bep after dinner at Sapporo's. The menu was posted outside so we decided we'd try it next time. We finally tried it for dinner! It was...virtually empty. Three people dining in other than ourselves. It stayed pretty quiet the entire time we were there. My friend and I both tried the Vietnamese iced coffee. Just okay. It was refreshing though. We also shared crispy dumplings which were flavorful. For the food, I ordered bunh with pork while my friend chose mi xao, a stir fried noodle with vegetables. She added beef to it. The food was okay. The sauce on the side for the bunh was a watered down version of fish sauce. It was still a filling meal, fresh, and tasty. Just not the best I've had. I liked my friend's noodles. It reminded me of lo mein but a much thinner noodle. Food was made to order. So everything was hot! And the room got Smokey as they cooked the food. The kitchen isn't enclosed. Service is good though. She checked up on us a lot and food and drinks come out fast.

I ordered the Pho Do Bien and short ribs. It was hot and fresh. Full of different kinds of fish and had great spices and flavor. A lot of food for the price. The ribs had a good flavor also. A small portion but was fine. The Pho came with additional spices on the side so the level could be controlled which is great. I am always worried about food being too spicy.

FOOD - Chef's Special Noodles: rice noodles with meat, eggs, carrots, celery, beans sprouts, and green onions in curry paste. I ordered mine with shrimp and without bean sprouts and green onions. I liked this dish. It reminded me of Singapore fried noodles which is one of my favorite noodle dishes. And it had a nice kick. The portion was big. 4/5 SERVICE: Service was fast and friendly. Our server checked on us a couple of times which I appreciated. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. I enjoyed my noodles.
