Great Vietnamese and Chinese food. I had vegetarian tofu pan fried soft white rice noodle. Be sure to ask them not to put too much salt nor soy sauce. Buddy had pan fried crispy wheat noodles with beef - both are Chinese food. Good low prices . Interesting Mexican music. Pretty and polite Happy waitress.

Food was good, plated well and fresh. The atmosphere didn't really match. Def has a dingy strip mall eatery vibe. If that doesn't bother you it is worth checking out.

Small little gem in a busy area. The broth was pretty good, I enjoyed the well cooked noddles, and the service was splendid. I would consider this my local goto pho restaurant.

Pho is good, but the filet mignon rice dish only has few pieces of filet mignon and it's much more expensive than pho, rice dish tastes ok.

Food was ok, pho was a little on the warmer side. Garnishes where provided. There was no A/C when we where there. They do charge 3% fee for paying with card which I thought was high.

I recommend asking for an itemized bill, the hispanic waiter secretly added a 30% tip on the bill without telling us.....

No umami taste. Not enough fish sauce in the marinade? My dipping fish sauce was sour. Portion of egg rolls and shrimps were very small for my vermicelli bowl. My dubbing has grilled meat. The cut was too thick and overcooked so it was hard to bite into. Not at all tender should they cut thinner and marinade longer. Not really cornmeal cuisine but imitation without proper cut and marinade. We needed to eat so it filled out stomach, but food quality does not meet expectation of Vietnamese food. Service was friendly but food came out slow. We were the only Asian people there. The vegetarian dish was good though. One out of 3 is right.

Mediocre food. Expensive for what is offered. They also charge 3% for card transactions and also a "takeout fee" which they dont disclose anywhere, just shows up on the receipt when signing for it. Scummy fees, mid food, won't be back and I don't recommend coming here.

If I could just say 0 stars, I would. Today my child was craving vietnamese food and I decided to go to the restaurant order to go. While ordering my child was getting straws for our drinks I was going to order, the woman on the register directed herself to my child saying no no don't grab, mine you I had just started to order. Then, I instructed my child to sit down. The woman again directing to my child goes no no don't stand up, making it seem as if my child was going to try and stand on top of the chair. I directed myself to her and said he's going to sit down. He's not going to do that; she proceeded to say the chair could break, mine child isn't heavy or anything. Yet, there wasn't any motive to say such a thing. My child was actually trying to sit. We have gone to that restaurant a couple of times, we love the food and we usually have a good service from the owner. Before anyone says oh your child was grabbing or being disrupted of any way, he only grabbed the straws we were going to need and he was directing himself to sit down as i requested while i was going to continue to order. There wasn't any need for this woman to do that. Hope this finds resourceful to someone with kids. I'm a mother who wanted to please my child with their craving for Vietnamese food. Would have liked the support of the owner, who was at the moment taking my order, but he just had his head down. I proceeded to direct myself to the man and politely told him to cancel my order. It was disappointing how the owner didn't stop his cashier from such behavior and having such audacity of just walking away to the kitchen area. Made it seem as if he didn't care.
