Separating broth and noodles is fine, but customers should be able to eat the meal without having to find extra kitchenware at home. This was inconvenient and a poor takeout experience. I won’t be coming back.
Over the years, we have seen the prices increase astronomically. It is now twice as much as it was when we first started coming here. I understand the economy is also in a different place than it was but $16 for a pho now is insanely high when you can get one for $11 a few blocks away.
Don’t get me wrong, pho here is pretty decent but in addition to soaring prices, the taste of the pho has taken a dip. I remember very rich broths but now it’s almost as if it’s been watered down to save on costs.
While I don’t think the pho broth is as good as it used to be, the other dishes remain delicious! I’m a big fan of the pork chops here, although the amount given varies day to day. The beef cubes are also amazing and full of flavor.
A plus is the waiters here are always efficient, polite and ready to help. They seem to know my parents and their needs/wants well. Haha after all, they’ve probably come to this restaurant well before I was even born. Everyone there is pretty chill and they don’t seem to ever kick you out so it’s a nice place to hang out with friends as well.
The food is amazing, fresh, and perfectly cooked. I can’t wait to come back
The menu clearly says no 3.5% charge if you pay cash, but they still tried to charge us. That is lying.
They were very stingy with napkins. Every time we asked, they gave us only one napkin.
They charge 50 cents for each to-go box (fine, but they don’t tell you first- before you order)
The prices in online photos are outdated, and they frequently change menu prices with no notice. three months ago a bowl of pho is 14.95$ now it’s 17$!
The receipt is HANDWRITTEN and only shows the total. No item list, no tax, no tip shown. The total was more than what we ordered, so tax and/or tip were already included, but we were never told. The math did not add up.
When we pointed this out, the cashier/owner just said “oh” and did NOTHING to fix it!! Then they had the nerve to ask for MORE tip on top of that. Absolutely shameless.
I am a local, not a tourist, and this still happened to me. Imagine how visitors are treated. Be very careful here. I will not be coming back!!!
Save your money and go else where
The pho is reliably yummy, and I’m a big fan of their vermicelli bowls. My go to is the spring rolls and grilled pork. Yum.
The waitstaff are all really receptive to questions—I’ve often come with friends with allergies, and the waitstaff are knowledgeable and considerate. They also have great recommendations (shout out to the waiter who turned me on to the soda with yolk and condensed milk. I’d never had it before but it slaps). Much good food, many good memories.
Good food though
The prices are a little steeper than the other restaurants in Chinatown, but the food is more than just average, or good, it’s great, actually.
Some of the staff speak Vietnamese, which is a relief. They remind me of your uncles kicking back sipping on Heineken’s during family bbq’s in the backyard.
We’ve had the banh mi curry here, the hu tieu, and the bun rieu here. All were good. I would definitely come back. There hours are good and there’s A GAZILLION dishes on the menu to choose from, it would be hard to not to find something you’d like here. Although I am a little suspicious how the food comes out at such a reasonable time, despite the menu being so vast.
Come here for some no-frills Viet eats.
