Rolling with it... When a craving hit finding it not as easy depending on your location and of course the time of the day as well. As it was just before the dinner hour it was Summer Roll...chicken to be specific and you'd think that's an easy find...nah! If you know you know in Kaimuki Shopping Center on the upper level is Fairwood which shares its spot with Pho 27 Cafe as well and what an insane menu they have including Summer Roll as well...tadahhhhh! Happy joy joy and it was $12 a great deal. Inside is very spacious with lots of tables all kept very nice and clean the staff there is very friendly and helpful when I asked about their summer rolls which is filled with all the usual of noodles, mint, sprouts and a generous amount of BBQ Chicken accompanied of course with peanut sauce it was a very hearty bite. Thoroughly enjoyed and now am curious of their pho which you know that I will definitely will be back "pho". Thank you! read more

Located in Kaimuki near to CVS (Long's Kaimuki) They sell local and Vietnamese food. Fairmont sells local food and Pho 27 Cafe sells Vietnamese food. I had the won ton min and it was ok the soup could use more flavor, but the won ton was different and tasty and the noodles was good and the portion was good. The Double cheese burger was very good and tasty like the old style burgers from the old days and the crinkle French fries was made nice and crispy which my wife requested. Parking can be a little tight due too the many other business in the same shopping center. They are located on the 2nd level of the shopping center. Restroom are general use for all tenants on upstairs, they had a restroom there, but asked customers to use the outside restroom instead. read more

Boyfriend was craving for pho and this was close to home so we came here. When we arrived the one employee didn't greet us. She just turned around and asked, "taking out or eating in?" we told her, "we're eating here" she seemed irritated and grabbed menus and put the menus on the table. It was not busy at all... there was 2 other people in the restaurant. It was an hour before closing too. On the menu they have different pho's, steak, pork chop, beverages. We only had a few seconds to look at the menu and she came by and asked "okay are you ready to order now?" As she was looking at her watch. I wanted to order the caramel latte smoothie, but she immediately said, "we're sold out of that" okay... so we ordered 2 iced Vietnamese coffees and boyfriend got their combination pho with the meat outside. While we were ordering she just kept showing a more irritated expression as if she didn't even want us here. It made us feel unwelcome and rushed. The broth tonight wasn't that great, my grandma makes better pho than this. Boyfriend was in the middle of eating his pho, and our server comes up with our check and asked if we could pay now. There's still half an hour left before closing though.. she came back with our check after the transaction. Boyfriend was trying to finish up his food and she came by again and asked him to sign the check.. Ambiance; lots of tables, interesting decor and two big TVs for customers to watch. They also sell some jewelry by the register. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden restaurant. Very clean and modern looking pho cafe. The broth wasn't too complex but it was clean and yummy. The service was prompt and the server was nice. The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night. What I liked best about my combination pho was the unexpectedly generous portions of tendon and tripe. Normally five minutes after I start in on my pho - I'll keep digging through the noodles and sprouts hoping to find just one more delicious morsel of tendon. After all, that's the main reason anyone orders the combination pho, right? Well, there was not just one, or two, or even five large thick chunks of tendon. There were six! Bite after big bite of yummy tender tendon just kept appearing....I was a happy camper. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Pho 27 Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The other day, we drove up to the Kaimuki Shopping Center to take care of some business at our credit union when I noticed Fairwood Drive-Inn/Pho 27 right next door. While my husband entered the credit union, I walked up Pho 27 to peruse the menu that was posted outside and my eyes widened when I saw their menu item, oxtail pho. Within a few minutes (thankfully, this credit union was quick) my husband exited the credit union and I excitedly told him about the oxtail pho. Hey, good thing he's easy going since he agreed upon dining at Pho 27 right away. When you enter the restaurant, it shares the space with Fairwood Drive-Inn in front. If you want pho, all you need to do is walk straight past the Fairwood order counter and then you'll find yourself in Pho27. The Pho27 space is nicely air-conditioned, has contemporary lighting fixtures and seats. There are pictures of several of the menu items that adorn the walls above their seating booths. A friendly and demure waitress greeted us and seated us immediately. The other dining booths were filled with other customers so we figured this would be a good experience. Our demure and soft-spoken server kindly made some recommendations as this was our first dine here. However, we had pretty much made up our minds and ordered the Tofu Salad, Oxtail Pho and Pigs' Feet Pho. We had made our selections based upon the pictures that were posted outside of the restaurant. TOFU SALAD: The tofu salad was light, refreshing and cleared our palates for the upcoming pho. It was a good change as we can get the green papaya or shrimp salads at other Vietnamese restaurants. The dressing was served on the side so the customer can "control" the spiciness and sharpness of this "vinaigrette". It was large enough of a serving to be considered an entrée salad. $7.95 OXTAIL PHO: Whoa..this was a behemoth-sized serving! There were 4 large and tender oxtails and the rest of the bowl was filled with noodles, shiitake mushrooms, fresh ginger root slices, carrots, Napa cabbage, green onions and peanuts. The broth was beefy and was more similar to Chinese-style oxtail soup. I really liked this pho and its generous serving was too much for me to even finish before I started feeling like I was seeing pho from behind my eyes. Haha. $14.50 PIG'S FEET PHO: The pho broth of this huge bowl was unlike the broth in my oxtail pho. It was more like what we're used to from other Vietnamese restaurants (Hale Vietnam, PHO'hana or Rice Paper). It was clear and clean tasting without any greasiness. There were the usual fresh vegetable condiments (culantro, bean sprouts, spearmint, Thai basil, jalapeño peppers, lemon wedges) that cooked in the steaming hot broth when my husband sprinkled them in. The two pigs' feet were the leg part so no worries about being skiddish by seeing the knuckles or trotter. These leg pieces were thick-cut, tender and well-seasoned and SERVED ON THE SIDE. The sauce was like a Chinese barbecue-like sauce (hoisin) and in our opinion, would've made for a better pairing with steamed rice. My husband confirmed that it was tasty and very filling. $10.95 We asked our server if they served pigs' feet IN pho like the oxtails because we felt the sauce made it more messy to eat and would taste better with rice. She confirmed that slow-cooked pigs' feet were available in soup noodles and the item is listed under a different menu name. Aha! That's what we'll order the next time. Pho27 did not disappoint as it hit us with great flavors and very generous portions. There was good value for the portion sizes and we certainly wouldn't mind returning to try more of their other dishes when we're in the Kaimuki area again. read more

If I'm in the Kaimuki Shopping area (usually to see my dentist), I will venture here for phõ. Is it the best? No. But it's ok. The phõ part of the restaurant is in the back. The front portion of the restaurant is local style foods. I came when lunch just started and was the 1st one to arrive. Tables are clean and has a modern feel to it. I ordered the veggie phõ, medium and was just the right amount. There is nothing outstanding about their phõ other than I appreciate the veggies. Some places put only a few pcs of vegetables. They had a fair amount of broccoli in it that I separated out so i could dunk into my special sauce I created. The broth is a little on the sweeter side. Service was ok and prompt especially with me being the only one. I've been here during peak hours and have had decent service which I can't complain. If you're looking for fast phõ with a clean broth, come here. I'd prefer a more rich broth, but this is phõ and vegetarian so I don't expect much. read more

Lyla and I have started our diet, to cut back and be good for 2 weeks... no competition. Motivate each other! We had banan and did well.. Healthy right??? Then we have Lyla's Husband Ed, who stated he was hungry and we ended up here!! After Banan, I started getting cold and with Hurricane Lester on its way. Pho sounds good! They have been here, was my first time. This place is odd, 2 restaurants in one??? What? Front is Fairwood.. walk to the back there's another entrance to Pho.. hmmm looks more dine in while the front looked like a self seated Chinese food take out. The 3 of us were set on pho.. looking through the menu and we all ended up getting Won ton Pho! Yum! Their broth is very flavorful, not too salty, not sweet, not oily, not clear like water. Pho noodles are good, doesn't fall apart. Comes with 6 won ton, my first piece didn't have shrimp, but then I found them in the pieces after. Taste of the wonton was odd, can't describe it, by the last one I got sick of it. I got extra won ton pii (wrapper) from the top... missing a 7th piece? haha. We also got salt and pepper wings to share. Wings came with the parts I like wingette! Yay for me and Ed. Sorry Lyla, no drums. I had 2 pieces, it was soft, tender, moist, juicy and sweet! I liked the flavor. Although it had lots of jalepeno on top, wasn't spicy. If I'm on this side, another option! The workers are Chinese. We'll we continue/start our diet tomorrow! I'll be good.. I promise! read more

Sometimes you just need a quick in-and-out type of eatery that has plenty of parking, lots of seating and decent food. It separates itself from other Pho joints because you don't have to look for street parking or look for parking in some overcrowded pay lot like their nearby neighbor down the street in Kaimuki. The Kaimuki plaza always has ample parking on the upper deck. I walk right in and get my Pho fix in less than 20 minutes. Sometimes if I hit this place solo, it's okay. They have a big screen TV streaming the Food Network to keep me entertained. I always go with the Pho Tai and sometimes with company, we share some spring rolls. It's really hard to screw up Pho and I don't think they do a bad job here. I like that you don't get the msg high after eating like a lot of other places. It's a bit of a cleaner taste. Some people may not like that, but if you're a health nut or don't care for too much msg, then you're in luck. What's even better is that a few doors down for dessert there's the cookie corner. Get your cookie on and get your shopping done at Long's next door or Times Supermarket downstairs. read more

Kudos to my dad for choosing this place for lunch one day (he always chooses Panda Express or Zippy's). I would normally get pho at Vietnamese restaurants but for some reason I got the tofu lemongrass sandwich and I do not regret it! Restaurant is located upstairs from Times on Waialae and 4th ave. Super convenient for me since I live nearby. The lights hanging in their are pretty artsy and gives off a fancy feel but this place is pretty casual. All the times I've been here it's never been super crowded which is a good thing because I soaking crowds anyway. I have tried their pho but after tasting the lemongrass tofu, omg - it's my new fave. What I like to do is share an order of veggie pho and half a tofu sandwich with my dad and dip my sandwich in the pho soup -voila! I made my own veggie French dip! I like how the lemongrass tofu has so much flavor and their not stingy with filling the sandwich. Other places I've tried give more bread than anything. But Pho 27 is generous plus the bread is crispy on the outside and oh so soft on the inside. I'll be having my pho lemongrass tofu French dip here regularly. read more

Pho 27 Cafe - Lemon grass tofu sandwich. Sooo tasty! Packed with veggies, tofu, & flavor! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went here with hubby and friends as our friends love the pho here. So hubby and I shared a pho with beef balls and a lemon grass chicken sandwich. The pho broth was good. The beef balls, eh. The sandwich was below par. I guess I have had my share of really good banh mi sandwiches and this one was not even close to matching up with my favorite. It lacked taste, and the bread wasn't toasted so it was softer than it should've been. Service was okay. I wasn't ready to order when she first came around so we asked for a few minutes. Place wasn't busy. We had put our menus down but she just stood about six feet away, doing nothing, and just standing there facing us. After a while, I had to tell her to come over. The plus...she was very sweet and pleasant. Always had a smile. read more

Pho 27 Cafe - Large pieces of chicken in pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Solid place I go for takeout. Can call ahead or order there and then go to longs or times to run errands til it's time to pickup. You can also order from the Fairwood counter if you're gonna mix the cuisines. I've wanted cold ginger chicken and some bun and asked to just order and pay altogether at Fairwood. My go to is the BBQ pork bun but today had the BBQ pork bahn mi also which comes with a side of broth. Sandwich was pretty excellent. Soup was salty but still nice to have. They give plenty of pork for both. read more

I come here quite often because it is close to my house but my family loves the pho here! We usually get the combination pho. My brother likes to get their grilled meat plates. The area is really clean and the workers are sweet! Sometimes I also get the bbq pork sandwiches(they are like bahn mi). Ordering takeout the pho can only be large size. Make sure you stop by to try the pho or the sandwich. read more

Very clean place and also very friendly. I got a to-go order of the large chicken pho. The soup was just "ok"... It was far more greasy than other broths I've had. Usually when I get pho, the broth is clear and less fatty... So that was a tad disappointing. Also the chicken in the pho wasn't shredded, it was actually 4 big chunks of bone in dark meat. But, if you're looking for a decent bowl of pho at an ok price, I'd go there. But, if you're looking for a delicious traditional pho place, I may look at other places. read more

I ordered the two meat iption pho. The both on this place was really tasty and the brisket was super tender and flavorful. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was that my food wasn't very hot... not fun eating cold pho. Also, you can't order the small size pho to go so I had to get the large size. read more

Went there with some friends for the first time, cool very nice interior and a pull down screen TV. Well I got my Standard which is the Combo Pho Large. The Pho was a decent size and decent amount of ingredients only thing I wished more for was there wasn't a lot of Basil that they gave for the three of us compared to some other places I tend to like a lot of Basil in my Pho as well as Chili Peppers. The Soup was a bit different from some other Pho places but at least tasted good I of course added chili sauce as I like it Spicy! What I did find cool and a great idea was they have a drawer under the table that had the Chopsticks and Napkins in great use of space. It was a great experience there and quick service so I wouldn't mind going there again. read more

Pho 27 Cafe - Vermicelli with barbecue pork and spring rolls. - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Not impressed. Not Satisfied. The highlight wasn't even the food, it was the smelly table w/drawer. When we sat down, the table had a stink sweaty and sour smell caused from a used and dirty rag. I had to ask for the table to be re-wiped or it was gonna ruin my appetite. #nojoke I believe I am sensitive to taste and smell which is maybe why I LOVE FOOD so much but it's also a curse at times like this. The most enjoyable part about lunch was opening the drawer/table which held our utensils and napkins. Very cool concept and space saver. I wouldn't mind having that in my house. What I would NOT like in my house is the food we ordered. I'm not trying to trash this place but I'm just giving my 2 cents about my experience. The food was quite plain tasting compared to other pho places I've been to like my #1 Aloha PHO!!! Maybe it's a different cooking method or part of Vietnam but I personally didn't care for the taste. My dad ordered some chicken dish which came with a so so dipping sauce. Again, not impressed and some what dissatisfied. I would NOT RECOMMEND this pho place....but my parents like it. So on that note...dont bother lol my parents aren't FOODIES. read more

3.5 overall stars Pho 27 Cafe, located in the Kaimuki Shopping Center, has reopened after a brief stint as the former Vietnamese eatery named Pho 27. After Pho 27 closed, the place turned into a ramen restaurant and again, it closed quickly. Then it was followed by the opening of another restaurant serving Chinese food. I do hope Pho 27 Cafe can make it because it is such a cute place to eat, talk story and hang out. The entry to the restaurant can be accessed through the same doorway shared with Fairwood Drive Inn & Diner. A quick glance from the cashier's counter shows Pho 27 Cafe has about 12 to 13 tables-booths spread comfortably and evenly in the long I-shape restaurant. I entered Pho 27 Cafe to find its decor and furnishings appeared exactly the same as the prior pho restaurant. Well the menu looks different and upon closer inspection, the new menu revealed a new page incorporating some Hong Kong style fare: i.e. sizzling platter meals and baked spaghetti/fried rice dishes to include soup and salad. Explains why the caption below the restaurant's name included Chinese letterings. Since this is their second month back, Pho 27 Cafe is offering a 10% re-opening discount. Cool jellybeans! IDK how long this special is good til though. Also, I'm glad to find the interior didn't changed much because I was always partial to it when I used to eat there before they closed the restaurant. The entire place is almost completely white and the tall ceiling made the long space looked "opened and airy" but still modern. It's kinda cool they hang those architectural lantern-like white ball drops from the black ceiling. Loved the vanilla leather seats at each booth because they're so comfortable. Lighting is soft and relaxing, making it not too hard to slouch there if one is not careful. They served decent pho and the broth was pretty good from my past dining experiences there. However, I decided to order the #34 vermicelli noodles with BBQ pork and spring rolls. This bun bowl came out beautifully arranged and it looked really appetizing. Serving size was right on, the julienned veggies (lettuce, cucumbers, carrots and basil) tasted fresh and refreshing. Unfortunately the pork was a tad too salty for me and the spring rolls could have used longer frying time. These were the only 2 sticking points I wasn't too keen on. Next time, I will probably order the pho to see if it is still the same pho. It's unclear if Pho 27 Cafe is the same owner as the previous Pho 27. Under the beverage section, they got a variety smoothies but there was one that stood out: the caramel latte smoothies. Sounded interesting and unusual; perhaps it will complement the pho nicely when I return. read more

I'll have to pass on this place.. The pho isn't bad but the flavor of the broth isn't my thing. There's something about it that doesn't taste like any pho I've ever had, almost like a Chinese soup that's trying to be pho. Again, it wasn't bad but it didn't seem right to me. I'm not going to judge them for their broth, but they should call it "faux" or "phaux." On my most recent visit.. I waited about 5 minutes to be seated. The place was empty and there was no one around. I walked in further, found a server, and got her attention. After confirming they were not closed I asked to be seated. The server was friendly bit could be a little more attentive. I ordered a large combination pho with the meat outside. The soup wasn't hot at all.. It was very warm but not hot enough for the meat; it remained pink the entire time. The garnish seemed fresh but they really don't give you much basil. It's about half as much as other places. I personally prefer more basil. To be fair I've been here a few times. read more

I've returned four times to eat here I get the won ton pho every time. The first time I got it I had picked out pieces of cow tongue. It was cooked, it's just not my thing. However, I loved the refreshing broth and wontons filled with pork and shrimp. my love got the lemon grass chicken and was underwhelmed. The spring rolls and summer rolls are very well done. Either one will be a great appetizer choice. The atmosphere is casual and the restaurant is clean. Additional napkins and utensils are readily available in a drawer on the side of each table(cool quirky fact). There's usually only one person working the front register and dining area, sometimes there is a little wait. Parking is pretty good considering the lot is shared with Longs oh yeah and it's free Side note-special pho like the unusual wonton pho only come in large no medium available but they don't stuff you with fillers. The dishes are equally balanced. One of my daughters tried the char siu pho & that was good . The other daughter tried the short ribs in pepper sauce, total loss. Shouldn't even be on their menu . It's rare to like every single thing you try at a restaurant with so much unique variety. For the most part I think they got something good going on here.... it's worth exploring. read more

The location for Pho 27 is where Times and Longs are off Waialae Avenue near Palolo McDonalds. I like the decor it's modern and nice, and the food is ok. Parking is easy. We had a party of 14 and averaged $10-15 pp It's a fun place to come for families. Also it has a spacious feel. Yay for groups however, must add that although the ambiance is nice the food is ok for budget minded crowd. read more

Awesome place for pho and other Vietnamese specialties, as well as some American food items. Food is great, generous portions. The atmosphere is modern and clean. I've never not been able to find a table. Staff is polite and attentive. Also, YOU CAN ORDER STUFF FROM FAIRWOOD DRIVE IN (NEXT DOOR) for a dollar extra I think. Super convenient. And I love that there is a specially designed pull-out drawer on most of the tables where you can HELP YOURSELF to napkins and utensils instead of hailing a waitress. They're super fast with take out too. Highly recommend! read more

Was set on going somewhere else for lunch but I was at Longs and I was hungry! When I stepped in I thought it was so different how Fairwood is in the front of the restaurant and Pho 24/7. Never seen a restaurant in a restaurant before. I did take out and the service was really fast. However the food was just mediocre to me. I got the cold noodle with spring roll. It came with only two spring rolls but it was very filling. I've tasted better spring rolls than here so I probably wouldn't get that again. This place is just really convenient if I want pho so probably would come back if I'm really craving. read more

My bf had actually suggested we eat here after church on Sunday. It was my first time here so I was curious as he had dubbed this place the "Longs Pho." As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by pictures of yummy looking food. And of course my string light weakness. Soo cute the lighting and set up of the restaurant. Also, they have pig feet pho?! The staff were super friendly and since we were the only ones in the restaurant, our food came out quickly. I ordered their French bread BBQ pork sandwich. Oh my.. I have to say, that thing didn't look very big but it was soo filling! I couldn't finish my sandwich! It was delicious! The pork meat itself was very tender and juicy. With just enough crunch in each bite from the carrots, daikon, and toasted French bread. Yummyyy! I think it's the best Vietnamese style sandwich I've ever had! Also of course, can't go to the Pho restaurant and NOT order the Iced french coffee with condensed milk. They put a lot more condensed milk so their coffee is a little more on the sweeter side than most places. Fulfilled my sweet tooth craving! Prices aren't too bad either for their portion sizes. Definitely check this place out and try the food! Yuumm!! read more

Pho 27 Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The service with one service is great and with the other is terrible. My daughter and I go there and we ask for no veggies in or on the side of my daughters pho. We ask for an extra plate on the side for my daughter to pull her noodles out. I order the chicken with no rice or fries. The good server (whom we see less of) sees us and already knows what's up. The server that's mostly there recognizes us and constantly messes up our order. 100% of the time. The one that wears glasses. She's terrible. Whenever we are there, she only has 1-2 tables. The other woman has half the restaurant full. Probably because people leave when they see the lady in the glasses. It's at a point where I tip 20% if the glasses woman can get 1 thing right to motivate her and I tip nothing if she makes us sit there for 2 hours just to get out of there. My daughter and I are done with this place unless the good server is working. The food is ok. Kapahulu pho is far superior in taste and price. Good-bye, Pho 27. It has been a memory I hope to erase from my past. I changed it up once. Steak. Rare. I got this picture. And I had a side plate to take it off the skillet to stop cooking but it came well done. And I ordered no fries. read more

Pho 27 Cafe - vermicelli with spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pros & Cons about your restaurant. Pro: 1) Large dining area. Exceptionally clean. Plus, some of the dining tables you get to view the streets (since we're on the 2nd or 3rd floor). So, have a nice view. 2) Conveniently located in the Shopping Center. After grocery shopping, good time to stop by for lunch at this restaurant. 3) Acceptable price. Con & please follow for fixing & improving: 1) Service time. A bit too slow. Especially from the ordering to the servicing of foods. Please focus on your service timing to have things done on-time. I believe the issue is this restaurant doesn't have a large enough crew. My recommendation is to make your crew bigger so they can help do everything in a timely manner. 2) Food. Most of them is so-so. The rice plate (aka. Com Tam) is missing a lot of things for it to be count as a nice rice plate. Should contain (besides grilled meats & veggies) some egg patty (known as Cha Chung in Viet), & shredded pork, & optional: 1 fried egg sunny side up on top of the rice. For the pho, broth needs some work & the noodles should not be clumped together in a ball. Overall, this restaurant is so-so. Thus, 3/5 stars from me. Good luck with your business. Please follow my suggestions above to improve your restaurant. read more

Pho was very delicious ,service very professional, and very fast delivering my order.

Service:4/5 Server greeted and sat us down right away. Frequently checked with us. Friendly, efficient, and informed. Food came out within 10min of ordering. Packed our leftovers for us. Accidentally gave us a different bill at the end but apologized quickly. Taking away a star because tables were dirty even after wiping down. You could still see scum. Maybe the tables are stained due to continued use. Itd be nice if they did a hard scrub. Also, menus were sticky. Please wipe them down.. Quality:5/5 Reasonable prices and food amount. Papaya salad Large portion. Good to share with someone as appetizer. Vegetable pho Fresh and broth is different.. they add a little bit of anise for a sweeter broth. Choke veggies and tofu! Lemongrass chicken rice noodle bowl So much food! Chicken had good flavor but couldve used more salt and was a little bit dry. Thai iced tea Too sweet! Time and Convenience: 5/5 Free parking in parking lot. Total time spent was 1hr. Ended up talking story with a coupkr aunties which extended my stay. Overall Experience: 4/5 Great place to get fast and reasonably priced food. Lots of large group seating. We have gone other times when service is slow, but tonight was great for food and service. read more

Viet menu - Rice noodle with BBQ pork and spring roll was great. Hong Kong menu - Baked seafood over spaghetti and baked pork chop over fried rice was ok, but the minestrone soup was fantastic. Therefore I suspect the Viet menu is better than the Hong Kong menu, in general. However next time I go I think I will try the steak, French fries, broccoli/tomato. Service was very good, young lady that served us was very attentive. Utensils and extra napkins in a drawer under your table. Dining room and leather seats in the booths are comfortable. Parking is good but air conditioning could be turned up a bit. read more

YUM! Some of the best pho broth on Oahu. Good service and lots of parking but a weird layout - you have to walk through a take-out BBQ place to get to the pho restaurant. (side note- miss the old Columbia Inn that used to be here) The service was good but it was slow on a weekday evening. Not sure what it would be like when the place gets busy. Spring rolls were only OK - nothing special so come here for the pho. Tasty broth but not just because of salt and fat. It is too bad this place isn't convenient for me. read more
