Luckily, we quickly got seated, and our orders got taken. I asked for extra cilantro, and they perfectly accomplished that. I ordered the Pho Tai, medium-sized, which was about $16, sort of average pricing for pho. The meat quality was just good, but the broth was flavorful. Pho paired with Thai tea is one of the best combos, and their Thai tea was up to par! I would definitely come back if I were in the area!

The missus and I snagged the second last open table when we arrived on a late Friday evening (no…read morereservations! Walk in only!). The staff were friendly and polite - and they graciously accommodated my peanut allergy, and quickly accommodated small requests like for bowls or extra napkins. We ordered four items: the missus got the bun bo hue, and I got the special beef pho. We shared the pancake and the spring roll. The noodle dishes were decent, but the standout was the Vietnamese pancake. Definitely order this if you're on the fence! The restaurant got a lot busier after we got our food - at least two or three parties who arrived (two each) had to wait between 5-10 min for a table to clear. The staff are super efficient at clearing tables so you won't need to wait long, but the downside of this place is that their popularity easily exceeds their capacity - so be patient! I don't have any notes for ambiance. Parking is available in the same plaza, but there isn't much - a lot are reserved for specific businesses between specific hours, so be careful not to park in an open business if you intend to eat here!

The staff are Vietnamese so you can order in Vietnamese or English. Menu has a selection of appetizer, vermicelli bowls and pho, along with some non-Vietnamese dishes. Got a large bowl of oxtail pho. Large is $2 more than regular size and the difference in size seems worth it. Tasted like standard pho. Noodles and soup are decent. A few pieces of oxtail with soft, tasty meat. Not a lot meat, but beef is expensive these days, and for ~$18, it was okay. Overall, food was decent. Tasted as expected, not expensive. 3.5 stars round up to 4.

The broth is delicious and the noodles had a little bit of a stale taste, unsure if because it was in a giant wad at the bottom, but even after a good stir there was a weird aftertaste. The portion size is GREAT! Adding jalapenos and basil on top is a must. Sauces and extras are all on the table for you. It's a pretty solid, down-to-earth casual pho place.

This place was briefly blowing up my IG feeds in small intervals, so I had it on my list sometime…read moreearly last year. Fast forward a year later to a Sunday at 12:30pm and I finally made the long drive here without going through Aurora Ave since my GPS randomly decided to give my road rage some grace. This place has plenty parking around the perimeter, so it was easy settling in. Only confusion was finding the entrance to this place, but when I did I was actually surprised where I was stepping into. Inside is laid back and cool with plenty of seating for groups of various sizes. There's tables and booths, and I got booth seating for myself when I walked in. There's a TV playing sports nearby where I was, and Vietnamese pop music was playing in the background too. Menu consists of regular foods in most Vietnamese restaurants, though their provincial noodle soups and banh mi sandwiches caught my eye. They even have bún măng vịt (duck and bamboo shoot noodle soup), my favorite that I gotta try next time I come here! From my IG feeds and as a starting point, I got their bánh mì thịt heo nướng (grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich), which comes with all the works of a regular banh mi sandwich, though I was kinda surprised how brightly orange the grilled pork was. Regardless, it was tasty and the meat was juicy. The pork pate added a nice savory touch to the sandwich, and no other condiment was in excess that it took away taste from the flavorful grilled pork. Staff was very kind throughout, and refilled my water every now and then. It was also nice chatting with one of them about our day and other recommendations from the menu. There's so much to have on their menu so I need to make the drive here again to have more of their stuff!

We had the following: Apps: - Cha Nem Ran / Fried Spring Rolls: Earth shatteringly crisp to absolute perfection. This was a textural wonder. A++ - Goi Cuon / Fresh Rolls: One of my favorite dishes, and a generous portion too! Entree: - Bun Bo Hue - Bun Thit Heo Nuong / Grilled Slice Pork Bun Dessert: - Banh Chuoi Nep Nuong / Grilled Banana Sticky Rice The Appetizers really hit it out of the park. I'm not familiar enough with Bun Bo Hue to comment on it, but I liked it, although I preferred the bun. Vegetables were fresh, and there was attention to detail in all of the dishes. We really liked the dessert as well, which was unique and earned the ultimate Asian compliment--not too sweet!

The second time I came I got to try strawberry, the smoked salmon one, and the fried shrimp one. I love the taste of white bread and cream! It reminds me of my childhood, when I use to make ice cream sandwiches with white bread. The sweet flavors are so delicious and nostalgic, whereas the savory flavors are so delicious and makes a perfect morning snack. The smoked salmon reminds me of a lox bagel but in a sandwich form. The fried shrimp one was recommended by the worker and it was tasty! This place is definitely on my list the next time I am in town! Come early for more options!

The place is cute and tiny, you can eat inside but it's pretty small…read more They have a ton of interesting flavors, from sweet to savory. My family ordered about 6 different flavors. The one that I like the most was the pork cutlets, even if it was cold it was good. The savory options were not too sweet which I liked. Not a huge fan on the salmon tho. The only issue I had was definitely the portion, it was small. It seems big in the photo and display but the one you get it small. When u open the sandwich the filling and bread ratio is kinda small, which was disappointing because it's kinda pricey. A nice place to try a lot of flavors, definitely recommend.

This was on a Friday at 6pm and we came to a very empty parking lot until you try parking closer to the many businesses located along the Bella Bottega Shopping Center where this gem is located. Inside is very casual with a ton of tables that can seat various group sizes, and my friend and I got a seat closest to the register. Menu has typical items for a Vietnamese restaurant like pho, banh mi sandwiches, bun, rice dishes and vegetarian options. There was actually a lot of stuff so I was slightly overwhelmed. I got their large phở tái bò viên, which is pho with medium rare beef and meatballs. Note that there is only a $1 difference before tax between the medium- and large-size pho, and I saw the medium bowls being much smaller than the large one I got, so it's worth getting the larger one! Broth is warm, aromatic and comforting with the right amount of everything, and the meats inside gave it more depth. The noodles kept together easily in my bowl and did not break apart easily when picking them up with my chopsticks. I also asked for extra beef, which is $4 more; this was put inside my pho instead of being served raw on a separate plate like i've seen in other Vietnamese restaurants. My friend got their Yummy Noodles house special bun with chicken, and he loved it a lot! It was served in the same bowl size as the large pho I got, hence he couldn't finish what was in front of him entirely. Awesome food here, annd an awesome place that had a ton of people throughout our one-hour time here!
