But overall it's a good pho and spring roll. Oh also order the salty lemonade drink so refreshing. Even it's a cold day today :). Service was fast and they were friendly.

There are pork cracklings in the sauce with the fatty catfish chunks. I'm typically not a fan of catfish fat (too fishy for my palate) but here I didn't mind at all. Picture this: pork fat mixed in with almost pure catfish fat all drowned in sauce and coating the rice. What a pleasure for the senses! No one told them none of this is supposed to work together and God bless them for not saying. I'm blown away. I'm a huge fan of the dish but this is the best I've had. Bravo chef!

The dish itself was decent, though the price was a bit higher than what I'm usually used to paying. The Thai Iced Tea was just okay--nothing too special. The staff members were not very friendly, though there was a strange vibe where it felt almost like they didn't really want anyone inside the restaurant. The absolute highlight of the meal was the spring roll that came with the bowl; that was the only part I truly loved. Overall, an average experience.

When you walk in, the atmosphere is spot on theme wise. Intimate small seating options work well for an impromptu lunch/early evening dinner choice. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy. We even gave the wings a try- fried crispy to perfection and drizzled with the right amount of sauce- just the starter to hit the spot. Now, back to the pho- delicious, lots of noodles and protein and the bowl is HUGE! You can also get Togo broth for $5 (Not bad for leftovers). Customer service was extremely good as well, responsive and friendly service. If you have not, I suggest trying this place- even if it's outside of your norm! This will be my new go to spot!

This is a unique and interesting restaurant. As we pulled up. I noticed a lot of cars in the front…read more Which is understandable. It was during lunch time. Plenty of parking. Quite easy to find. We luck out, as lunch time rush was ending. Several tables opened up and we had choices on where to sit. You seat yourself and as soon as you sit down. We opted for a booth instead of a table. Table looks great and padding on bottom and with hard wood backing. Booth has but more cushion. Either both bottom and back padding. Plenty of tables. In the main lobby or in next room. They have a large flat screen TV that is wall mounted in the corner. The lovely waitress will be happy to come by and greet you. She handed us the menu and asked if we have any questions about it. She made a few recommendations and took our drinks order. Start out with a sweet tea and Thai tea. It was lunch time and was not very hungry but wanted to get something to hold us over till later that evening. And suggested that we try some soup/pho. She said it will fill you up and leave satisfied. Just do not do the super side bowl. You will not be able to finish it. Started out with the Pho Dac Biet (Pho dac biet is a Vietnamese translation for all kinds of special beef variations such as raw sliced steak, beef tripe, brisket, tendons, and Vietnamese meatballs) and rounded out with the Pho Tom (Pho tom is a delightful Vietnamese dish that perfectly combines succulent shrimp, tender rice noodles, and a rich, aromatic broth.) she asked if we would love to have fresh chili? And the other condiments are already on the table for your convenience. She quickly came back with fresh chili sauce and the fresh vegetables. She mentioned that soup will be out shortly. She quickly brought the soups. The aroma of the broth was amazing! Came out good. I noticed that my broth could use a little bit more than the usual sauce to enhance the flavor. However, I made the mistake of adding a bit too much chili sauce. It ended up being too spicy. It was still good. Just over did it a bit. It was good. It was just the right amount. Left full but satisfied. When you are done. Feel free to come to the register at the main lobby to pay. She mentioned that if you wish to save few dollars. She suggested that you pay cash instead of card to avoid the hassle of credit card fee to run it. No Wi-Fi I can see and feel free to reach out if they offer military discount.

First, I am satisfied with the actual business and people there. This rating is purely reflective…read moremostly on the food. The Pho noodle soups are OK / Good. But I find that the meat, particularly the brisket, is full of fat. It would be better if they would evaluate the cuts of meat they are using to ensure they are not giving 50% of the slices as just fat strand pieces. About half of the slices in my soup were purely fat. I am not talking about normal brisket fat; the problem is with the fat content in each slice. I should have more brisket to chew than fat. Pieces that are pure fat are not good. And I could argue that it is brisket when the meat part is not there at all. Spring rolls were OK - but there are better ones out there at other Pho restaurants. Portion size: the soup portion and its components are enough for a sitting. Portion size on meat leaves something to be desired though. I recommend having a bit more meat in the portion. Freshness: After having been to many Pho restaurants, I will have to say food freshness seems to be OK, but not outstanding. I will reserve further comment because I have not been here consistently to give a valid opinion. Value: See also- portion size. Value reflects overpriced selections. Comparisons to other Pho restaurants has Pho Grace slightly overpriced. I won't return frequently solely due to value. Staff were fine - no complaints at all. Restaurant is clean with a nice atmosphere, particularly for lunch. Overall: Pho Grace has been good / great over the years. Value deducted 1 star. Fatty meat deducted 1 star. OK soup deducted 1 star. It was good, but not great. For future visits with better experiences, I will update the review, and should be able to add more stars. Pho Grace is a good restaurant and Hammond is better with them. I do recommend trying it.

This time, the crawfish pies were just coming out so I tried one of those. The dough was a bit sweet but flaky. Inside.. was interesting. There was crawfish of course and there was a vegetable, I can't make out which one. The pie was a different flavor than I'm used to. Sweet and Savory and I tasted like there was a bit of Italian dressing or something in it. I'll try a meat one next time.
