Very serviceable, Vietnamese restaurant offering pho, vermicelli, and banh mi…read more My combination vermicelli had thin slices of grilled pork, plump, grilled shrimp, and a less crispy egg roll ($18). I tried my friend's pho broth and found it lacking in depth. The iced coffee ($6.25), however, was excellent. I also appreciate that the covered patio is dog-friendly, making this spot of the rare Asian cuisine establishments to allow pets.

Likely the best Vietnamese restaurant in this area…read more Broth is very well flavored and carries every dish. Given the seal of approval by my Viet parents. Pho comes out quickly, and different dishes have different cuts of meat (I chose 12 with the brisket and round steak). You also get vegetables with your order (bean sprout, basil (eating it definitely changes the flavor of the food), and jalapeño). Would recommend the pho here. Servers were nice and took our orders quickly as well, and interior of restaurant is clean and decorated with plants. There's even a little goldfish pond.

Went here based on Google reviews since I was in the area and craving Vietnamese food. I believe…read morethe owners may be Vietnamese-Chinese, as the menu includes both languages. The pho was a bit off in terms of the broth-to-noodle ratio. I usually like to taste the broth first before getting a bite of everything, but as soon as I dipped my spoon in, I could already tell how many noodles were packed into the bowl. Once the noodles loosened up, there wasn't much soup left. The broth itself was darker, but not in the rich, deeply flavorful way. It tasted more like it had been seasoned heavily at the end with too much bouillon, fish sauce, or something similar, making it too salty without much aroma. The brisket was good, and I did enjoy the traditional toppings like tripe and tendon, but I probably wouldn't come back for the pho. The rice plate with lemongrass pork and shrimp was decent. I just wish there had been more scallion oil, and the salad didn't add much to the plate. Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots would have gone a long way.

Service was great. Questioned the server if they used condensed or regular milk for the Vietnamese Coffee. At first he said condensed milk and then admitted it was topped off with half and half, which was the reason I asked because it was very watered down and not as thick nor had any hints of sweetness from the condensed milk.

We finally had the opportunity to try Tigon. We've read some recent reviews and finally on a Friday…read moreevening, made a point to try! Such a big and beautiful interior. There are TV's and private spaces, and also a kiddo play area. I mean, that enough is all we need at this point of life! Menu is also big! We ordered a Pork Banh Mi and Stir-Fried Green Beans with Chicken to split. Both were super flavorful, fresh, and meat super tender/juicy. They have a special kiddo menu (we ordered a noodle dish with a protein/veggies), and there's a beer/wine menu. Would love to come back and try their draft beer flight board and their wok noodles, hot pot, or any of their pho & noodle soups. I noticed a nice sampling of salads, apps, clay pot dishes, and a traditional Vietnamese Beef Feast which looked cool on their menu too. Parking is tough in front of Tigon (next to the Rialto Theatre), but additional parking can be found behind the building if needed by Bart. Staff were friendly, service was pretty turn-key and quick, and the vibes were fun on a kick-off to the weekend evening.

Came here thinking it was a Viet place (based on the name), so we were a little disappointed/put off a first, but honestly the pho was still good! The portions are decent ($15) and they give you a lot of bean sprouts, lemons, etc. too. The meat was a little fattier than I had liked, but that's personal preference. The staff are friendly and the food comes out decently fast.

Needless to say, I got the large. This was a great bowl of pho. Clean tasting broth. The meat was great. Only thing was the noodles were clumpy, as if it was cooked in advance already and put aside then reintroduced back into the broth, like how it would be when I get take out pho. Otherwise I liked the noodles, it was thin and smooth and not powdery.

My partner and I got a few items to try as we had heard great things about this spot…read more - Fried Pork Eggrolls: It was crispy and comes with 3 pieces. For the price I expected more pork in the filling however it was primarily veggies. - Crispy Pork Belly: I was so excited for this item. But was disappointed since it wasn't even crispy. It was fried but not the crispy/crunchy pork I thought I was going to get. - Steak Pho: Soup broth was ok, it was a bit bland for my liking. They gave a fair amount of noodles but barely any meat. I've had better pho elsewhere. - Shaking Beef: Probably the best item that we got. They gave us a decent portion of beef and were heavy on the bell peppers. The sauce on the side was the star of the dish. This is a decent spot if you're hungry and looking for a place to eat. The rice plates seem to be on point and I'd probably come back just for the rice plates.

I thought that was such a meaningful way for a local business to step up and take care of the community, especially the kids who are often the most vulnerable when families are struggling. Of course, good intentions got me through the door, but the pho is what keeps bringing me back. I ordered my usual pho with tendon and brisket, and the broth was incredible -- deep, aromatic, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. The noodles were also perfectly cooked. They had a great chew and bite to them instead of becoming soft and mushy like they can at some pho restaurants. What started as a visit to support a business doing something good has now turned into a spot I visit about once a week or so. Great food and an even greater heart. Thank you, Monster Pho, for looking out for your community and especially for the kids and families who needed a little extra support. Businesses that show up for their neighbors deserve to have their neighbors show up for them, too.
