Let me start off by saying that I've only had Pho once or twice before and both times were at a broad scale, Asian food restaurant. A buffet. And while you can choose your ingredients for that, the experience was much different than it was here. Not knocking the other place, but this was truly magnificent. The appetizers were crisp and fresh and delicious and the Pho was really unbelievably good. We both chose Rice needles, and we each chose a different protein. I misunderstood or misread the menu and my son got beef tendon, which I personally, and I have to express that it was a personal feeling, found it unappealing ... That being said he seemed to enjoy it and that's all that mattered. I thought it said beef tenderloin because I didn't look at it long enough. He did agree, though that the next time he comes back, he's not getting that cause he wants to try either the chicken or shrimp. The service was amazing. Our waiter was very friendly, very prompt, answer questions to the best of his ability, and the food was brought out very quickly. We never had to wait for a refill on our water or assistance when I asked for additional napkins. It was all great. I can definitely say the soup was filling enough that we did not need the appetizers. While they were tasty, there was so much soup that they were needed. The ambience of the place was off the scale. I loved the look in the feel of everything,, the boots were very comfortable, the look and appeal of the restaurant around us were very nice nice, and I personally enjoyed the music being played. It was all modern contemporary music reimagined in what I believe was a Vietnamese style. It was fun, it was peppy, and just enjoyable to listen to. I will 100% be returning to this location read more

Features pho, of course (Vietnamese noodle soup, but I assume you already know that if you were thinking of going here), but also a nice variety of appetizers, and a lot of bubble tea varieties, including Thai ice tea, my favorite. Big bowls of pho-- they don't stint on portion size. Spacious and well-lit, with beautiful decor and lots of room, including a small patio with two or three tables outside (but next to the parking lot). Right next to the movie theatre, so it's a good place to grab a bite before a show. read more

Super friendly staff and very welcoming for families with babies. High chairs available, clean environment, and fresh, flavorful broth with crisp vegetables. The team is very attentive, they even brought a small plate for our baby without us asking. Everything was thoughtful and well taken care of. Highly recommended for a relaxed, family friendly meal read more

Great pho! Bubble tea was good too. Staff was friendly. Quick service. Good variety of the menu. Can't wait to come back!

A great new addition to Great Northern Mall! The restaurant was newly and beautifully renovated. My friend and I were especially pleased by the lovely greenery on the walls. I got the grilled pork rice dish ($14.95) and the caramelized biscuit coconut latte with cream foam ($6.99) off the extensive drink menu. The grilled pork rice dish came with a Vietnamese-style pork chop cut into strips, a few slices of cucumber & tomato, a large scoop of white rice, and fish sauce. The pork was delicious. It was tender, moist, and fragrant with lemongrass. The veggies were fresh, and the rice was perfectly fluffy. As for the drink, it was delightful. Rich, creamy, and plenty of sweet coconut flavor. You can customize the sugar level of your drink. For me, the 100% sugar level was just right (I have a sweet tooth though). Our server was friendly and came to check on us a couple of times. Overall, glad to have it in North Olmsted. read more

Not sure about this place. I work at Asia town and I have access to some of the best pho the area so I was hesitant to try. Should have trusted my gut. Very unorganized. To start our drink was given to the wrong table. It took about 10 minutes for us to get the right drink. They just took it off someone else's table and brought it to us. Not the most hygienic thing in the world. I don't think the other table touched it, but still. We ordered two appetizers to start with and they came at the middle and end of the meal. They brought my bowl of pho girst then about five minutes later brought my husband's. Then we had to wait longer for the toppings. The flavors were good, and the bah mi was spot on, but the fact that our appetizer - the soup dumplings-came at the time we were already full from the pho was a major downer. If you want great pho just go to superior pho. Hopefully this place gets it together in the coming months but right now pass on this one. read more

This spot just opened recently, and we stopped by during their lunch promo. The staff was super friendly and attentive, even though it was busy with most tables full around noon on Saturday. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious, and the pork rice dish came with a generous portion. I loved the HK tea -- the bear-shaped ice was such a cute touch -- and I went with a regular iced coffee drip. The pho could use improvement; the broth was a bit bland, but the bowl was packed with noodles and meat. The interior design is beautiful, and overall, we had a really enjoyable experience! read more

We decided to try this place conveniently located at the N Olmsted mall after leaving the movie theater there. Ambiance is pretty nice inside and out although for a Friday night there were very few patrons in the restaurant at 7:30pm. We sat quickly, ordered our food - one starter (the steamed buns) and two meals (cold chicken noodle bowl for me and A bahn mi sandwich for my husband). The food was really good although the sandwich came out first and was luke warm but very tasty. After about 10 minutes I called the waiter over and asked where my dinner was. It came out about 10 minutes later - when my husband was almost done with his meal. Then the starter dish (steamed buns) came out toward the end of our meal. Side note: the couple seated awhile after we sat down was served pretty quickly while I was still waiting for my meal. Service is seriously lacking here - our server may have been new but all workers were just standing around chatting and the kitchen wasn't busy so I don't know why our meals weren't better coordinated. Bottom line - the food was really good which should trump everything at a restaurant so I would go back and try again. But dinner service should have all people at the same table eating together and a starter should come out at the start of the meal - not the end! My recommendation - definitely go for the food - not for the dining experience! read more

This second time we came was not the best. The server wasn't the nicest. At the beginning when I was ordering, she seemed annoyed. She didn't tell me the dumplings would take 25 minutes so by the time my partner was almost finished with his food, my food still wasn't out so I had to ask her if she got my order and that's when she told me how long it would take. She went around asking people if they wanted dessert from a tray she had and didn't come to our table but she went to everyone else's. She also never came to refill our waters. At the end when it was time to pay is when she changed her tone and was super nice. The rest of the staff was very nice when they would come to drop off the food and the host in the front was very sweet. I wish we would've gotten one of them instead because the experience was ruined. read more

I love Pho so anytime a new place comes around I have to give it a try! This spot did not disappoint in flavor, I ordered the Steak Pho which was delicious and shared chicken dumplings which were also yummy! Tired for the first time a boba drink, and loved it. I went with the dragon fruit and was happily surprised I liked it that much! I would definitely recommend this spot and will also be going back to try other things! The staff was very friendly which only added to having a great experience! read more

My son brought me here to try something new. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd never had Vietnamese food so I had no idea what to expect. We both ordered the House Special Pho an order of Basil popcorn chicken and dumplings. All was wonderful. The different sauces were excellent and the dumplings were more of a dessert. Aesthetic and ambiance was very relaxing and comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is a new place and I was excited to try it. The interiors are pretty cool, I loved the incorporation of greenery inside, albeit fake, it did improve the space. Husband and I both ordered pho, his was the house special and I built my own with flat noodles, beef broth and grilled chicken. It took a while for his order to arrive atleast a good 20mins, the Pho looked good but the flavors felt a little watered down. Mine took forever to come because they realized pretty late they missed mine. So I waited a good 45+ mins for my order only to point out that one I had ordered wide noodles and not regular noodles and of course the chicken wasn't ready. And finally when my pho did arrive it was thin noodles still didn't get my wide noodles!Maybe I was one of those who experienced a bad service here, and I will try not to hold this experience against them. So maybe I will come back, give them another chance before I decide, for now though all I can say is the pho is ok but the grilled chicken was trying he saving grace - it was tender, charred and perfect! read more

The spring rolls are the freshest and tastiest I have had anywhere. The green Thai tea is also delicious. The beef broth was full-flavored without being too salty, and the meatballs and pork were tender and seasoned to perfection. Loved the decor, vibe, and friendly service, I wish I lived here so I could come here every week! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on my way back from top golf because I'm always looking for a good pho! Nice menu, good prices and HOLY COW SO FAST! They had my food out in under 10 minutes! Not to mention they had TENDON!! So so good!! The broth is really nice and fragrant. Definitely ranks up there for me flavor wise. Portion size is massive! The rare beef was perfectly sized and cooked in the hot broth nicely and the tendon just MELTED! I haven't found tendon and tripe served this far west of Cleveland but I was absolutely pleased. The rare beef salad was also absolutely delicious with the dressing, herbs, pickled daikon, veggies, and crispy shallots. Definitely will be returning! Only thing I'm dinging is I was brought the wrong drink and it was hard to flag down a server at the bar. Otherwise amazing experience read more

We were so impressed with this place! I haven't had really good Pho in quite some time. We ordered the House Special Pho and it was AMAZING! The broth was so flavorful. This is a new restaurant and so it is extremely clean. It has a bright and inviting ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

The rice plate here is delicious. The staff is friendly. The Pho was average and not as flavorful as I'd expected. I'd say the menu is hit or miss. I'd go back for the rice plate but not the Pho. read more

The food is decent, the pho is pretty flavorful but the meat portions are small. Service is interesting. They don't check on you or anything, but do refill the waters and are nice. However when we were there they made a couple (who were actively eating their food) get up from their table so they could seat someone else at that table instead. Really really weird. Not sure if I would recommend this place, but not too bad either. read more

As a Vietnamese person trying out this place today - just a heads up for anyone wanting to try authentic Vietnamese foods. This place is not it lol I actually laugh eating the pho here. Not only does the broth tasted sour for some reason but there was absolutely no pho flavor, nor the aroma at all. I wasn't sure what I was eating tbh. A lot of people mentioned huge pho portion yes it just full of noodle in a bland soup base. Couldn't even finished my bowl. We also got a varieties of appetizers to tried and I would said I like the popcorn chicken the most. Drinks wise they got pretty good different kind of drinks and I would come back just for it but definitely not for the food. read more

This is pho for white ppl...bland mid at best that is over priced...8 bucks for 1/2 a bahn mi...are u for real? Rare beef salad was actually a salad...if u know what i mean u know what i mean..definitely not for someone who's had pho outside of Cleveland before read more

Poor service. Food was disgusting and over priced. Do not waste your money or your time.

Coming from a vietnamese person, if you're looking for authentic, flavorful pho this is not the place. I can't even finish my bowl. I order rare beef and didn't get it till 10 minutes later when my brother was cold and the beef wouldn't cook, and not only that the broth taste like water. No matter how much saracha, lime or anything you add in it ain't gonna save it. So save yourself the trouble and go to downtown instead there honestly much better pho restaurant. Some of the staff weren't really friendly, it almost like they was yelling at me when I asked for the chicken my boyfriend ordered. Simply don't recommend read more

Im a regular customer i have been going there since they opened in great northern mall but the never have the steam buns which is on there menu they don't tell you what they have and what they don't have i ask for that and soup dumplings and both item they don't have i am gonna stop going there food good but bad customer service read more
