Haven’t been here in years since we moved!! Got the dumplings, spring rolls, and beef pho! Was delicious and left us impressed and excited to come back next time we’re in town. Great service, too. Hearty portions for price.

I’ve had two bad experiences ordering from Grubhub through here. The food quality is concerning. In the first order, my husband noticed a green spot on the meat. We thought, “Oh, maybe it’s just a weird piece of meat,” but we lost our appetite and tossed it out.
The second time, we decided to give it another try since this is the only pho spots around our area. While microwaving our leftovers and stirring the food, we found a bug. We had already eaten half of the pho the night before before discovering this. The concern is really the quality of their food. We have had to toss out both of our orders both times around! Food is not cheap and this is disgusting to experience.
We normally wouldn’t write a bad review, but having issues both times we ordered is really disappointing.

Came inn with my hopes high and was not let down! Appetizer ordered; edemame fresh and with the pop you like when eaten. Shrimp only spring roll was modified to order with red barbecued pork! Anything to order is a plus!
Girlfriend had the sweet and sour chicken asian breaded style. Along with very well steamed jasmine rice…. she was very happy with her order.
As for me friends hmm…. This guy had the combination Phơ’! Great, not oily, smooth, and delicious! Being Iowa i want to say the tripe and tendons was cut to fit the local taste buds… well cut not over intrusive portions.
The lead manager and lead cook came to inquire about our meal several times. Giving knowledge on sauce options and common proper uses….
10 out of 10 great place! My knowledge of the Vietnamese culture is very limited… But what i order is what I know and what I know was GOOD!

We’ve been eating here for around 9 years and always had consistently good food! It’s our favorite out of dozens of Vietnamese restaurants we’ve tried! The family that runs it has always been courteous and friendly! The only thing I’d have to complain about if the building ( not their fault) you can get a cold draft whenever someone comes in and out in the winter! It’s nothing fancy but it is clean and nice!

Great service, great food, and reasonable prices. The large pho is huge and easily shared between two people. This is an excellent lunch or dinner option if you are in Ankeny.

The pho #8 was extremely good. The large bowel was enough to feed up to 2 people. The soda lemonade is a must try and the avocado smoothie with Boba was amazing. Great food and staff, very clean restaurant and barley any wait time for food and drinks.

I stumbled upon this place because another nearby place was closed on Sunday. When we got there it was crowded. Our server was nice. When she didn’t understand a question we had, she went and got someone else. The service was quick and very polite. THE FOOD WAS AWESOME! Prices are good for the portions and tastyness of the meals. I was too busy enjoying food to take pics!

Great service and great food! We stopped by on our way home from Thanksgiving and were in and out in less than 30 minutes. We ordered spring rolls, Vietnamese sandwich (Bahn Mi), and a vermicelli noodle bowl. The spring rolls are full of noodles and come with problem the sweetest peanut sauce I’ve ever had. Sandwich was small, but that’s reflected in the price and the fact it’s on the appetizer menu. Still, one of the best bahn mis I’ve ever had. Loaded with meat. My husband’s noodle bowl had super flavorful pork and a sweet sauce served on the side. Everything tasted super fresh! We’ll definitely make this a regular stop. Highly recommend.

We were in the area shopping and decided to stop in. I had heard of this place before and it was highly recommended by Vietnamese co-workers as being authentic. They weren’t wrong! The food came out so fast, and yes, it reminded me of my mom’s cooking. The phô had beautiful, savory broth. Some places do too much star anise or cinnamon but here, it was just right The prices are super cheap and the portions are huge–typical Viet fashion. I was so excited about the food I forgot to take pictures.

I’ve been here multiple times now coming through Des Moines/ Ankeny.
It’s been great every time. The Pho broth is awesome and I like the dumplings a lot as well.
Friendly people as well.
Would definitely recommend!
