The amount of meat you get really makes the banh mi taste so yummy. Sooo worth the money. I crave this all the time. The pho was okay in my opinion but WOOW their banh mi is the star. Fresh veggies. Pho had a great amount of noodles as well. Service was great, provided recommendations. There's a few real authentic vietnamese dish here. I felt soo happy seeing them on the menu. The entire room was busy, all the tables were in use. Glad they're getting business.

Well, the food is the star here. Since we moved from Philly--where there were many great places for…read morePho--we've been sampling and searching for something comparable. Alas, we had no luck, until now. This place delivered. The Pho is great, with lots of noodles and typical extras on the side such as fresh Thai basil, sprouts and jalapeños. My only criticism: the broth was a bit too salty. But still very flavorful. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls--done right, with 3 nice pieces of shrimp and vermicelli (which was lacking in every other place we tried). In addition, we ordered egg rolls, which were seasoned perfectly and served piping hot. Overall, a great gustatory experience. We will be back to try the Bahn Mi!

Haven't been here in many years and stopped by tonight…read more Everything we ordered were absolutely delicious! Their cold cut ( they call it ham here) was huge and delicious. They pack in the cold cuts here and have not found such a big banh mi nor one that is loaded in filling as here. Their beef pho was flavorful , pipping hot and delicious. Your bowl will have beef steak and slices of beef meatballs here. Absolutely no complaints . I got a wonton soup bowl packed with fresh vegetables, won tons that had chestnut in them so for those who like chestnut and the crunch factor you are all set here. Definitely a delicious meal and I'll be back soon enough. Thank

I ordered way too much food for lunch today. I got the won ton soup, which I thought would be a…read moresmall appetizer portion, and a banh mi, which I thought would be on the small size. They were both very generous and I could not finish either so I now have leftovers for days lol. The soup was DELICIOUS. I wish I had gotten it by itself. The sandwich was fine, but not great. I prefer a baguette that has a soft inside, but this bread borders on stale. I also got the vietnamese coffee. It was disappointing - although it tastes excellent, the cup was like 70% filled with crushed ice. I still have to give it 4 stars for that soup and excellent service.

The service is excellent, especially the waitress, who is always very kind and attentive. You can really tell they care about their customers and maintain a high level of service. One thing we really appreciate is how they handle any issues. For example, one time I ordered a beef pho and forgot to mention that I prefer the meat more well-done. They had no problem fixing it and brought me a new dish without any hassle. That says a lot about their commitment to good service. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant, and it's definitely a place we always enjoy coming back to.

Not only was my order not ready on time, but while I was waiting, someone who seemed to be an owner or employee brought a baby into the kitchen in a stroller. I found this really concerning from a hygiene standpoint. The customer service wasn't friendly either. No greeting, no apology for the delay--just a generally cold and unwelcoming vibe. As for the food, it was subpar considering the price. The flavors were bland, and the portions didn't match the cost. I honestly wish I had gone to Pho Co. Variety instead--it would've been a better experience all around. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this visit was disappointing enough to say something.

The noodles are not the autnethic pho Noodles and they also don't have hoisin sauce which was odd because pho should have those condiments as an option. I would've gave it more stars if the service was better but unfortunately that also was a disappointment as well. Our waters didn't get refilled until we had to ask an hour later and they didn't check up on us until we were done.

My partner ordered the vegetable pho, and I went with the pork wonton soup. We also shared an order of pan-fried dumplings. Everything was comforting and flavorful, and the portions were impressively generous. Even the "small" pho was anything but small, and the wonton soup -- listed as an appetizer -- easily ate like a full bowl on its own. We both ended up with leftovers, especially her. The dumplings were nicely pan-fried with a good balance of crispness and filling, and paired well with the soups. This is the kind of place where you leave full and happy. Service was warm and welcoming -- the owner/server was very sweet, friendly, and helpful, which made the stop feel relaxed and personal rather than rushed. A solid, satisfying spot for a casual meal, especially if you're hungry or planning on leftovers.
