The dressing was good but made us a little thirsty after. I've had the pho dac biet before at their Albany location and it's pretty good. The vermicelli with grilled pork and imperial rolls was also good but the pork sauce was too sweet for us.

Got it with egg noodles and bread on the side. My partner doesn't usually like beef stew but he loved this one! Fragrant and loved the lemongrass, not spicy. Would have loved a little bit more broth to egg noodle ratio but it was delicious nonetheless. Beef with Vermicelli Salad: Delicious! They give a great amount, it was fresh. Very happy and impressed with our to go order.

This place has the usual fair like beef or chicken pho with different variations of meat. As well as Bun Bo Hue which I love but did not try here. My wife also loves Bun Rieu (a type of noodle soup with crab/meat balls). We both didn't order our favorite soups so we can share some light dishes instead. Shredded chicken salad in most Vietnamese places consists of thin shredded cabbage with onions and other thinly sliced veggies to complement the salad. Dressing is vinegar based and it was pretty tasty here. Shrimp chips are provided to use as a vessel for the salad for a crunch. I wish they provided more. Only three shrimp chips were provided for the salad. The tofu skin crispy shrimp cakes are really good. It's a light shrimp cake. I was surprised as I was expecting a dense shrimp cake. The spongy shrimp cake contrasted well with the crispy fried tofu skin that wraps the shrimp partty. Tofu skin on dishes like this ends up with two textures, crispy initially then a slight chew once the skin is moist from the juices of the shrimp patty. I enjoyed this very much. The Banh khot is the reason why we wanted to stop here. Banh khot lately has been making its viral fame circuit. But being a street comfort food it has a place in my heart. The shrimp banh hot here is a bit more in the plain side, being just the banh khot shell and a whole shrimp. I think some other places also has a bit of ground pork and onions mixture. The shell was flavorful with a coco nutty essence. If you dislike coconut then this might not be you're favorite but that's usual for this dish. My family makes it without but this version is still very tasty. Id come back if im in the area and wanted some Vietnamese street food snacks.

I had the grilled shrimp and pork rice vermicelli that was huge and enough for two, it was tasty despite the lack of flavor and seasoning on the shrimp. I also received soup (I took it to go), imperial roll and a soda. This was all a part of their daily special for $22 plus tax. One turn off was the clogged sink that was full of water. A sign on the mirror indicated to turn faucet just a little to release the water. Why would a restaurant have a clogged sink and not fix immediately. Despite this the food was good, but I probably won't return.

It had been a while since I'd had pho, and I forgot just how generous the portions are! This is probably the closest pho spot to my house, so I'll definitely be back. I also noticed a lot of people ordering the bún bò Huế, so that's at the top of my list for next time.

We just googled pho near us and took a chance on this restaurant and we've been back 3 times since! The service is quick and simple, they work fast and maintain a clean environment for everyone! The staff is very friendly and will help you with any questions you may have. Everything is provided at the table, napkins, condiments, utensils etc. we've tried the fresh spring rolls, fried chicken wings rice plates and of course their pho. Everything is absolutely delicious! Not overly sweet, not salty or greasy. It's a lot more hearty than other pho restaurants I've tried! I love the consistency and thickness of the broth, very well done! Everything tastes super fresh and their peanut sauce is delicious! The chicken wings are always on point too!! The only thing is, and I've seen this with a lot of restaurants after COVID, they don't have soy sauce. They offer seasoning sauce which taste completely different and is a sauce my family and I arent too fond of so if you ever need actual soy sauce, we normally ask the staff for some Togo soy sauce packets. Other than that this place is great! We will continue to dine here and introduce more of our family and friends to this establishment!

My friend and I were in the Dublin area and wanted some pho and found this place thanks to Yelp…read more We arrived about an hour prior to closing and parking was not an issue. The restaurant itself was quite small with about 7 tables. The menu was quite extensive for such a small place and we decided on a beef variety pho, a fried spring roll vermicelli and an order of the fresh spring rolls. Since there were only a couple of other diners, our order appeared fairly quick. The fresh spring rolls looked smaller but tasted freshly made. The vermicelli dish was very good and my friend enjoyed the pho. That is until my friend found a hair in the soup. We reported the issue with one of the staff and he immediately apologised and offered a brand new pho dish. Excellent service though a hair net might be used in the future. A noteworthy thing to note is that customers started showing up minutes before closing time and the restaurant accommodated all of them. Definitely an interesting restaurant to check out.

Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the hostess was extremely rude, cold, and dismissive. Every question was met with attitude, and the way we were treated made us feel very unwelcome. As a family of a different nationality, I couldn't help but wonder whether that played a role. When I asked to speak with the manager, hoping she would address the situation, she was immediately defensive and completely dismissed my concerns. Sadly, the poor treatment continued with the rest of the staff. I kept giving them chances, thinking the next interaction would be better, but it wasn't. To top it off, the food was nowhere near the quality we remembered--it was mediocre at best. We came in excited to share a restaurant we had previously enjoyed with our family and left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and extremely disappointed. After being repeat customers, this experience has completely changed how we feel about Uncle Yu's.
