Out of all the places I have been too this year, this was the worst one. I came here because of the food reviews. When we got there, the staff seemed really stressed. I am not sure if they can smile or not, but the atmosphere was really odd.

anyways, the main disappointment – food. I always give the benefit of the doubt but there was just no saving this place. My mom, husband and me were all so disappointed, I had to apologized for choosing to eat here for dinner.

the food for one is absolutely NOT authentic. The soup will NOT taste the way you are expecting. The meat had absolutely ZERO flavor. i asked for extra meat on the side, i got four slabs of meat that for some odd reason looked so fake. I put it in my broth, and my broth was not hot but warm, so my meat did not cook like it typically would.

Bean sprouts? They gave the tiniest amount and it looked expired. so did the 2 jalapeños. so did the one piece of mint. litterally like they were about to run out of toppings. i kid you not I lost my appetite throughout this entire experience.

I also paid for extra limes, i guess they do not give limes in general? because what do you mean I got a total of like 4 lime slices? AND THEY WERE SO DRY

AND PLEASE – you will leave smelling like a restaurant.

hard pass and am so shocked this place is in business. here we are leaving dinner, going out for dinner again; because the meal was meant for kids. yes, my entire party is still disappointed & hungry.

This family owned spot is a hidden gem! The pork chops were easily some of the best I’ve ever had tender flavorful and perfectly paired with crunchy cabbage and carrots that balanced the sweetness beautifully. I also had the freshly made Thai tea which was smooth refreshing and not overly sweet. The service was warm and attentive and the atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Honestly was really disappointed in this place service-wise and quality of food.

Showed up at 7:30 p.m. with two hungry kids. And was told it would only be take out because they close at 8:00? I get that you want to go home, but we’re talking pouring a couple bowls of Pho.

We order 2 Pho to go. Quick turnaround less than 7 minutes. I asked for some chili sauce, and they told me they have to charge me! Which I can honestly say I have never been asked to pay for chili sauce at any Vietnamese restaurant anywhere, ever. So you’re already charging me $14 per Pho, and now you want to charge me for chili sauce that is for free on the table but because you won’t let me sit to eat, I have to pay for it?

I could let go of the poor service and the nickel and diming if the food was good. But honestly the broth was subpar at best for me, quite bland. My son did enjoy it, so not a total loss. I will likely just go back to Saigon bistro or Viet bites for my north side Vietnamese fix.

Hope you guys can improve, it would be nice to have better Vietnamese food in that area.

Nice place to eat on the patio in the Phoenix Sun ☀️. Tea light cafe special was a pretty good deal since it includes a medium sized pho bowl and egg rolls/spring rolls. You’re allowed to sub egg rolls for spring rolls and vice versa. You go in and pay first and essentially have to serve yourself. That’s nice for the business but seems a bit lazy compared to other Vietnamese restaurants we’ve been to. The Vietnamese coffee is decent. They will give you cold drinks automatically unless you specifically ask for hot.

Pros: I liked that they gave me the lime juice in the plate in addition to limes. I always have to ask for extra limes at other restaurants. Meat is very good. It feels like they simplified the menu which I like.

Cons: Soup is not very hot when it comes out and does not taste as flavorful. Feels like they are doing the bare minimum for the cost. Not much meat is given for each bowl.

Visited this place during lunch. Ordered a chicken banh mi sandwich which was perfectly assembled. Very cute ambience and the service was perfect.

Service was super kind and friendly ☺️ Pretty average food though. Pho was unremarkable… It did the job but I’ve def had better. Vietnamese coffee was a bit weak but tasted fine. Spring roll & egg rolls were ok. Not bad, not great.

I cannot believe this place has such high ratings. The fresh rolls had no herbs in them, despite the menu listing cilantro and mint. Just plain noodles, lettuce, and a piece of shrimp. Tasted like nothing. The peanut sauce was watery and tasted like someone thought about a peanut while making it, but did not actually put any in. The bun bowls were similarly meh. The only real flavor in the meat was salt. My husband had the pho and said it was ok, but just ok.

If you’ve had Vietnamese food in any other city, don’t bother going here. You’ll just be frustrated that you spent your money on lame food.

I want to start by saying I’ve been coming here for 15 years. I love and adore the owners.

Unfortunately their new hires don’t care for this family owned business as they should. Speaking to their latest poor review the staff isn’t accommodating for those that try to call or come in to order anytime between 7:30-8pm.

If in person they seem bitter before close and good luck calling… they let it ring and don’t answer.

I’m leaving 5 stars because I care for the owners and want them to be aware of what’s happening. I encourage others to come back as their latest experience is not the standard.

Ever wanted to become a regular at a spot? I would regularly go here because every single time it’s been a hit!
Get the egg rolls, get the pho (vegetarian pho and beef pho , both were ) and absolutely recommend the grilled pork spring rolls are amazing

Ask for the matcha with orange juice!

So it was my first time in there and just got 2 drinks a coconut boba and a cold Vietnamese coffee. The coffee a bit passible not very sweet and honestly tasted like instant coffee. Now the coconut boba absolutely disappointing had no flavor tasted like water and ice the boba very hard very undercooked and honestly, for the price, it was very disappointing. I hope the food tastes better than the drink drinks.
