Since my last review, this place has expanded into a restaurant with a formal dining area,…read moretransforming it from an already great takeout extravaganza to a place I'd bring my friends/family for a proper sit down meal. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

Parking 5/5 Shared strip mall parking with some dedicated parking in front. Never an issue finding a spot here. Atmosphere 5/5 The new owner refreshes the dining room every few years and certainly is an improvement from the previous owners. Small dining room with Vietnamese decor is clean and comfortable. Service 5/5 Very polite servers and owner. Our server took our drink orders of two Vietnamese Coffees and a stater of rice paper spring rolls. Entrees were the brisket Pho, Bun Duc Biet rice noodles bowl which includes carrot and cucumber slivers, mint leaves, small lettuce leaves, sprouts sliced fried spring rolls, shrimp and beef. Sprinkled with peanuts. Food 5/5+ I've enjoyed coming here weekly for decades when I worked across the street at Motorola then General Dynamics when they bought our Government Division. Food here is freshly prepared, traditional Vietnamese food. Both the Pho and (B4) Bun Dak Biet Rice Vermicelli bowl were excellent. The starters were on the small side. I bought a (B4) Bun Duc Viet to take home for lunch tomorrow. $72.86 plus $20 cash tip for excellent service. When looking for Vietnamese in Scottsdale, Saigon Bowl my friends-SYOY!

Hands down, this was the best ramen I've ever had. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and…read moreclearly made with care. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The menu offers everything from classic favorites to more unique, creative options -- so there's something for everyone. My daughter has celiac disease, and I was especially impressed that our server immediately understood what that meant. She confidently walked us through all the gluten-free options and made us feel completely comfortable ordering. That level of knowledge and care goes a long way. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much thought has gone into the decor and atmosphere. It's inviting, detailed, and adds to the overall experience. We'll absolutely be recommending this place -- and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

It was a fun "grand" display when it arrived but it was tasty rolling them into spring rolls and dipping them into the sauce.

The service was quick and friendly and lots of Vietnamese people dine here which tells me it's legit. Parking is plentiful so that's always a plus!

The menu is huge and it has a ton of variety which is great. Restaurant has a lot of seating and it was quick to get seated, eat, and then pay at the front. My bánh canh cua was pretty good, not a super thick soup like I've had before, but it was hot and satisfying. I wish it had more toppings and fish balls. Our pork vermicelli bowl was okay, the fish sauce was plain and a little too salty, and was missing the minced garlic. But the meat was well seasoned and the portion was great. I'll come back for the bánh canh cua since not many places in Arizona have it, but I'm not sure about the rest of the food!
