Food is really good! We didn't think we will like it but we do. Everything tastes fresh and good. The broth was so good. And pork belly was so tasty. Customer service is good and they're on hands. Ambience is good but a bit hot but that's fine! Food is good. Kudos to Susan the staff for the great service! read more

From the service to the food, everything was great. The woman that was working at the front was on top of everything! She answered every question that we had and also recommended what she thought was best. She kept the front of the restaurant clean and made sure the customers were satisfied. My girlfriend and I ordered pho, egg rolls, and the red Thai teas. The pho is a good size portion and is very flavorful on its own, for those who don't like too much going on. We most definitely will be coming back read more

Decided to try this new place Friday morning with the kiddos. Place was easy to find with adequate parking area. Place isn't too big inside but enough tables but can easily accommodate up to like party of 6-7 at some of the tables. Ordered milk tea drinks with cat paw jelly (kids love it), kids pho (enough to be shared between 2 small children), and bun thit nuong cha gio. Price is as expected in this economy and reasonable but provided great big portion. Tasty and flavorful. Kids love the pho broth. They also offer food & snacks available to purchase as well at the counter. I would recommend this a try! The owner was friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I had an amazing experience at this pho restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic and perfectly balanced flavors. The pho broth is rich, aromatic, and clearly made with great care -- one of the best I've ever had! The ingredients are fresh, You can really tell they pay attention to every detail. The service is also excellent: the owner she is very friendly, attentive, and quick. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and perfect for enjoying a relaxing meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! read more

Friendly staff! The food was made to order and was pretty good, there was plenty to choose from so I'll have to come back to try the other options! The restaurant is smaller but felt cozy, I think they're still new but I kinda liked that it wasn't packed. I'm happy to know this is a Vietnamese restaurant that's within walking distance to my home! I love supporting my small business owners and Hope they continue to do well! read more

I been wanting to come here since I seen this place. Finally got to try it since I was on that side of town. The artwork on the wall is so beautiful. Very Vietnam with the Vietnamese girl in her traditional dress and head wear. I didn't want anything big to eat cus I wasn't too hungry. Just a small bite so I went with shrimp and pork spring rolls. I wanted the nem nuong pork spring rolls but she told me they don't carry that anymore. So not sure why it wasn't crossed out. She did let me know that they are gonna be doing a whole new menu. $9.75 for three shrimp and pork spring rolls isn't too bad since most places only come with two. They were pretty fat too but mostly filled with veggies and noodles. The shrimp was split in half and the pork was hella fuckin thin. It comes with a generous amount of peanut sauce which IMO, was not the best tasting on its own.. it came with a chili oil as well and that on its own tasted good but I mixed it together and it still wasn't as good together so I had to tweak it when I got home. Wish they would've gave me more chili oil. While waiting I got thirsty so I ordered a mango passion fruit tea. It tasted okay and it was way too much ice.. The service was good. Lady was nice, polite, and informative. They have an extensive menu so I would like to try other stuff on there whenever I go back, but for now that is my rating for what I ordered that day. read more

Really good pho place. Spring rolls tasted fresh and chicken pho (small) was a good size, with plenty of chicken. Broth was delicious. Fast and pleasant service. Highly recommend, though there isn't much around this restaurant. read more

I'm visiting my parents here in Fresno. My mom and I were hungry and we decided to check out this place since we were craving for Asian food. The customer service was excellent. The young lady greeted us as we entered and when we ordered she checked on us if we need anything. They have variety of foods and we were having a hard time. We ordered chicken pho, veggie fried egg roll, chicken teriyaki banh mi sandwich, and popcorn chicken. They also have variety boba drinks which was awesome! My mom got match with honey boba. The ambience of the restaurant felt like I was in the BayArea. The decorations of the restaurant were pretty. Overall 5/5. I would definitely go back here. read more

The restaurant staff who took my order was very friendly and answered any questions I had. The portion size compared to cost is worth it in my opinion; only finished half of the bowl and some of the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken, pork, and egg rolls were seasoned well. The pork was tender and popcorn chicken and egg rolls were fried perfectly. The only downside was the wait time, but there was a sign posted that there was limited kitchen staff and food would take longer to prepare. The restaurant also felt a little stuffy to me due to lack of air flow, but the overall ambiance is lovely. I'm pleased with my experience and hope to visit again soon! read more

Service was good. Server was good at taking care of all the tables as we'll as bussing them. Pho had good broth. Could use more meat in the bowl. They brought me the wrong pho but I still ate it. Charged me for the higher priced one. Spring rolls were huge but kinda boring. I was kinda sad about the peanut sauce because it was a bit too liquid. The pork vermicelli was good. The menu choices were fabulous. The barn mi sandwiches were huge. This place is a couple of tweaks from being top notch. read more

We saw that this place opened and we wanted to give it a try. The service was really good. We were greeted right away and they even helped me pick a drink because I was so indecisive. They have plenty of drinks to choose from I will come again to try definitely. The food was delicious the shrimp spring rolls were so fresh. My chicken sticky rice plate was a good portion and it was still hot when it got to my table. The tropical fruit tea was yummy it tasted like strawberries and roses. By the end of our meal the workers even gave us a drink sample to try. It was delicious it was their new coconut salted caramel drink YUMMMM The vibes of the place are very cool and calm. It was very clean with a restroom for customers. read more

We saw they were having their soft opening on TikTok. We live around the area and decided to give them a try. Drinks are 10/10. Service was 10/10. Food, however, as you can see from the images, needs to be more hygienic and rinsed thoroughly. My sister ordered the spicy beef with veggies plate to go. We enjoyed it until she noticed something blue among the greens then as she picked around more, she noticed another off brown amongst the greens. Upon inspection, it was a piece of SPONGE and a CATERPILLAR. We understand that this is their second week of soft opening so we hope that they can learn from this review to do better. We'll definitely come back for drinks though. read more

I love trying new spots! I happen to be in the area and stumbled across this gem. I needed something warm to soothe me and pho was just what I needed. I love that there is a smaller bowl option so I can enjoy in my lunch and go back to work. I also love that they have fresh fruits with their teas. I ordered the Strawberry black tea and it was delicious. I have always been interested in places, other than Teazers, to enjoy fresh fruit tea and I am glad I found one. Service was great, the server was so welcoming and sweet. Their banner, signs, and artwork inside looks great. I thought their menus were cool because they were like literal menu boards. I don't see them like that too often. read more

Not a fan. This is by far the worst Vietnamese food in town. The pho looks really sad, and it's hellishly salty; not worth it for $17. It's funny how they barely open, and most items aren't even available. The steak is just a round eye cut with a sad sunny-side egg. The bun bo hue is sad, salty as hell. It's okay if you want to try the place for experience, but if you want authentic Vietnamese food, go somewhere else. No chopsticks, by the way. read more

Service was amazing, we dined in 15 minutes before closing (we called ahead and they said they were able to accommodate us , I felt so bad). Server was very kind! The pho WAS SOOO GOOD. The broth is pretty similar to phoholic in SoCal! The soursop tea drink had a beautiful fragrant to it too. I can't wait to come back and also try their vegetarian Vietnamese soups! These are so hard to find in Fresno, I'm excited they finally have a restaurant with these options :) read more

I ordered the #2 beef steak/meatball pho, and the broth had an amazing clarity, but even cleaner and dense broth. Popcorn chicken with holy basil tasted, great too. Nice crunch and pairs well with the pho. I did want to try the deep fried quail eggs, but they weren't available at the time, so I will be retuning for that read more

The Spicy Noodle Soup will forever be my favorite! My boyfriend loved the soup's spice level (Level 3). We then got two boba drinks. The Pink Guava and the Mango one.
