Reviews
Original review: Very good Pho, second only to Tien Pho, currently. Courteous service. I will be back to try new dishes. Prices are a bit high, but you get 10%off with cash…
Most people will tell you that the food is wonderful here, that is an understatement. Not that presentation is everything, but take a look at the pictures and you will see that this restaurant takes pride in putting together a great presentation on the plate (or bowl). One thing that may get left out in some of the reviews is also the amazing customer service, I have been to the restaurant three times now and experienced this excellence from different staff members. I also want to thank them for recommending great places to find Vietnamese food in the Bay Area where I live (over 3000 miles away). I can wait to take them up on that advice.
Most of the staff is young, they play good music in the restaurant, they are very good at recommending and explaining things but the menu is also very friendly to those that may have a hard time at traditional Vietnamese restaurants that don’t know the nuances of ordering in a different language, that is not an issue here. The menu is just the right size and not complicated, this I feel is key to any restaurants success.
As for the Food (approximate prices included), you can see in our photos that I had the Bún Bowl w/ Eggrolls and Pork($10), my wife had the Beef Phở($11), the Roll Sampler($8) and our son who is difficult to find anything when we go to eat had the 5 Chicken Wings($7).
The Bún Bowl w/ Eggrolls and Pork what can I say, it was the best Bún Bowl I have had. I’m not smart enough of a foodie to tell you exactly why but is has something to do with super fresh ingredients, consistency, and the right portions of everything down to the thickness of the cucumbers, carrots, noodles etc. The Beef Phở was not too salty and the beef had several different beautiful and tasteful cuts, of course we spiced this one up big time! Finally My son wanted me to tell everyone that the chicken wings were the best he had ever had, we ordered more the next time we came.
Pro Tips: When we went back, we got our son either the 10 or 15 count chicken wings plain (they will give you the sauce on the side) and we take the extra home. Get an extra Bubble Tea to go, you will thank yourself later. When ordering the Bún Bowl, ask for Basil on the side. Don’t be a pig, let your food cool down(especially the Eggrolls when they bring them to your table, they are piping hot(as we were warned). Finally, make sure you first visit is not your last, I would assume if anyone ever had a bad experience here it would be a very rare occasion.
I don’t live in Cocoa, I do not know the owners or anyone affiliated with this restaurant, I live in Fremont California and was here on my vacation. I would not have provided this lengthy of a review for any restaurant (full of pics) had it not been amazing food, service and pricing and portions.
Full 5 stars from me! Thanks again Mamasan’s staff. We will be back.
