Fantastic pho, a variety of noodles, and other Asian dishes. Small shop with a relatively wide variety of options available. Dishes were served with a side of fresh spices and garnishes to fix the meal to your taste.
Ordered the duck and beef pho. Broth was high quality and rich in both dishes, portions were very good. The beef in particular, was very tender.
I saw some reviews claiming that the service was slow. I admit that the waitress was distracted, talking on the phone through her earbuds, which resulted in a wrong drink order. That said, I started a stop watch once our order was in and the food arrived in less than 7 minutes.
Bonus: if you are a restaurant owner, this place has a ton of kitchen accoutrement / utensils for commercial use. Moreover if you just like cooking Asian dishes at home, the supermarket that houses the restaurant haas all manner of noodles, rices, spices, and other staples of the varied Asian diet.

Saturday 3pm lunch, and our orders were ready in less than 15 minutes. Large portions, great texture, and so much flavor.

My go to spot to stock up on my Asian sauces and ingredients. I was super hungry and didn’t realize there was a small pho place in the corner. It was kinda busy that day and I was able to snag a seat, but it seemed like there’s always one lady that works there and she takes your order when you seat yourself so it took some time. I ordered the rare beef and brisket pho which came out fairly quick. The flavors were on point, tasted authentic and my only complaint was that I wish I had more broth because the ratio was a little off between noodles to broth. The space was small and like a cafeteria style but definitely a hole in the wall if that’s what you’re looking for.

We placed our order at 1:15. She was bringing out food for the people that came after us. I asked where is our food. She said “it’s coming my friend!” I got my order at 1:45 and my husband food five minutes later. I don’t have a complaint about the food. It’s just that it took them more than half an hour to make the food.

Had beef pho and it was pretty good. Will come back to try other things on their menu for sure. Prices were average. Only thing… the lady who serves the food and cleans up is super rude. I paid cash and she tipped herself out instead of giving me change…

Delicious pho and super friendly service. No frills pho place inside the Asian supermarket. It is not totally obvious where or how you are supposed to order but just go for it.

Pretty average pho. Huge bowl but unfortunately broth is not herbal or tasty enough. Sliced beef also is mediocre.

The pho here is excellent and portions are massive. The restaurant is inside H&L.

The food is beyond good. I’ve always had great service and I come here all the time. The pho is perfection and always makes me feel better about life in general.
The seating is limited so try to hit non-peak times, if you can.

This is not the place you come for atmosphere as it’s space is just part of a larger Asian food market. You do come here for really authentic good Vietnamese food for a good price.
