First one of the three I ever visited and still my favorite. The wonton soup is everything and the basil popcorn chicken is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming. I eat solo and I don't feel rushed even though it's dinner time and the place is busy....honestly when you're eating hot soup it's not like you can rush....😁

This is a great small cozy restaurant with reasonable price. I enjoyed the dine in and take out. Will definitely come back here again when in town. The taste was good, portion of the meal was plenty to fill your stomach, the cook was perfect, food decoration was nice, and the polite service was wonderful. We was coming late due to a long trip, the restaurant was passionate to let us in to order to go, this kindly heart that we will remember. Most of the restaurants were closed during the time we arrived there. Keep up the excellent work.

Good pho, their bbq pork sandwich- so delishhh. The veggie egg rolls were to die for!

Best Vietnamese sandwiches around you'd have to go to the city to find any comparable explanation point the seafood Pho was the worst!! The Monterey restaurant is great as is the caramel location but the Salinas location is BAD‼️ YOU'D NEVER KNOW OR THINK IT WAS RELATED TO THE TWO OTHERS ‼️

I’ve been coming here for years and the food is great, but recently they changed bread for the banh mi (sandwiches), and the bread is not good. I really hope they go back to the other bread or find a different bread. This one is tough and doesn’t taste good. I’ll try it again one more time, but if it’s the same bread I probably won’t be ordering the sandwiches anymore.

Just wow! If you’re into Vietnamese Cuisine and visiting Monterey, definitely give it a shot. Everything we ordered was tasting good and their prices so low. Keep it going. Popcorn Chicken and Egg Rolls were like the usual appetizers. Chicken Noodle Soup was out of the world. So good that it just took all the stars. Grilled Five Spice Chicken, we thought it would be like noodles but instead it’s like a salad. Chicken in it was delicious but when it’s in a salad, it’s a let down. We need a cooked noodle dish with this chicken. Coming to boba, they have a huge menu. Ordered taro and strawberry milk tea. Taro with the standard boba was good. Strawberry milk tea was okay but Lychee coconut jelly was too sweet, avoid this topping. Second visit: We opted for Chicken Noodle Soup, House Fried Rice, Basil Eggplant, and Fried Chicken Wontons during our visit. The Fried Chicken Wontons were delicious and highly recommended. The Chicken Noodle Soup had its usual tasty flavor. The Basil Eggplant from the specialities menu was incredibly yummy, and we couldn't resist finishing it along with the accompanying rice. The House Fried Rice was decent, although it didn't quite match up to the deliciousness of the basil eggplant. For beverages, we ordered Taro Milk Tea and Vanilla Latte Mocha Blast. The Taro Milk Tea was alright, but we particularly enjoyed the Mocha Blast, even though it had a slush-like consistency. After about an hour, it melted and became enjoyable to drink. We have become regular patrons of this restaurant whenever we visit Monterey.

I'm not overly familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, so I can't really comment if this was good or bad. We mainly chose this place because it had an entire menu section dedicated toward vegetarian/vegan food, and it was right next door to our hotel. We ordered noodles + vegetables, and spicy BBQ tofu. They were both fine. Nothing to get excited about, not hot or spicy, pretty middle of the road taste-wise. My favorite is Thai food and I like it pretty spicy, so compared to that, this was bland. But it didn't taste bad, that's for sure. It just wasn't up to my usual level of flavor, which in my opinion Thai food is very flavorful. Any other Asian cuisine besides Thai generally tastes bland to me, so that's my yardstick. I give it four stars because of the extensive section dedicated to vegetarian/vegan items. That's my number one concern when choosing a restaurant. The only weird thing about this place is the booth we were sitting in. See the photo, and check out the pole that is inside the booth, not allowing you to sit close to the table. The pole prevents the seat from being close to the table, so you kind of have to sit on the edge of the seat once you start eating. Plus you can't enter the booth from the left side, the pole blocks you from sitting down on that side. Just a bit strange; I've never encountered a restaurant with that design before.

Food was fresh tasting, didn’t feel like a heavy meal but did fill you up. Spring Rolls were delish, also love there house fried rice. I would definitely recommend. Atmosphere was comfortable. Overall would 100% go back again. :)

Was been on road trip for a week and sick of all burgers and steaks. Found this place on google with good reviews says best pho in town. To he honest, I was pretty disappointed. I am half Vietnamese and eat pho every week. The shop is small but clean, service is attentive and friendly, but the pho is really around average. Medium portion but the soup was bland and only warm not hot. I still give them 3 stars but I wanna leave a review for out of town customers like me: if you have had decent and authentic pho before, you may be disappointed. If you okay with something mediocre, then this might be okay for you

Pho is not so bad. We ordered the 5a combination pho and I was missing a shrimp. Also ordered the calamari as well. Wish the calamari had a crispier batter. Pho was good. Lots of protein but lacked some condiments

Food lacked authentic Vietnamese flavors. The food looked good but could use a lot more richness in flavor. Service is good, atmosphere is good, restroom could use some cleaning, prices were ok. Unfortunately i would not recommend this place.
