“ The bread was so soft and the meat was seasoned to perfection, not to mention plentiful. ... ”
“ I really loved this pho. Ive had pho from the midwest region to here now and this is my second favorite pho spot. My first pick is in Wichita, KS. The crab ragoon is fried perfectly, its so nice to actually taste the crab, it didnt taste like the cheap imitation crab. The cream cheese was not over bearing either. The pho broth is AMAZING!! Before I added my sriracha I could taste the spices and flavor from the onion and bones. I always get too full to finish an entire bowl but I will definitely be coming back to this pho spot quite often. ”

Initially, we were going to get everything to go, but decided to sit inside and enjoy the meal the service was excellent. We were greeted by smiles and thanks throughout our experience. Highly recommend enjoying this top notch restaurant experience. ”
“ I recently visited a pho restaurant and was blown away by the deliciousness of the food and the friendly service. Upon arriving, the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. The decor was traditional and gave off a sense of authenticity. For starters, we ordered the spring rolls and the fried wontons. The spring rolls were filled with fresh vegetables and herbs, and the wontons were crispy and savory. Both were served with a side of sweet and tangy dipping sauce. For the main course, I opted for the pho with beef and my dining companion ordered the chicken vermicelli. The pho was served in a large, steaming bowl filled with rice noodles, thin slices of beef, and a fragrant broth. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the beef was cooked to perfection. The chicken vermicelli was also delicious, with a generous portion of grilled chicken, vermicelli noodles, and fresh vegetables. One of the standout features of this restaurant was the variety of condiments on the table, including fresh bean sprouts, basil, lime wedges, and chili sauce. These added an extra layer of flavor and allowed us to customize our dishes to our liking. The service at this restaurant was impeccable. Our server was attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, and it really added to the overall dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this pho restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I will definitely be returning in the future. ”
“ Great small location, parking is limited by the restaurant but also a structure that looks like you need to pay. Food was great and definitely exceeded expectations. Sat at the bar but also regular seating as well. One of the best Pho places Ive been to, and bowls around 1418 on average, definitely worth it. Will be coming again for Pho, curry and banh mis. The owner Chris was very nice as well and the rest of the staff too. ”
