    crab rangoons
    Madison B.

    Mom and pop restaurant. Food is always good and comes out quick. Always a staple when i'm craving pho. Love the cream cheese wontons and brisket pho!

    The pho.

    With an understanding that inflation is hurting everyone; I still recommend this place. A large does not mean you will get more ingredients, just a larger bowl with more rice noodle. Meat portions the same as small (IMO). With that out the way....the flavor spot-on!!! Delicious!

    Yummy garlic chicken!!

    Food was prepared very fast, and flavor was excellent the beef in the noodles melted apart it was NOT tough it was perfect would honestly recommend to anyone.

    3.5 stars considering the area and available options. Noodle soup portions are pretty large. Large size was too much to finish and had a lot of meat. Pho broth could be a bit more flavorful/spiced, but that's a personal preference. Hu tieu dac biet (special combo) had a mix of shrimp, squid, imitation crab, fish balls or fried tofu (I forget), chicken, pork. They can even make it with the wide rice noodles (aka chow fun / ho fun noodles) instead of the regular pho noodles. Fyi they don't take Amex.

    My favorite pho place in Modesto. The broth is very authentic and everything is fresh. The staff is all very nice too, you can also get your car washed and detailed while you eat. Highly recommended

    I'm updating my review. Sadly enough this place satisfies by pho craving. And even sadder is this place is the best place to go for Vietnamese restaurant. It's obvious this place changed owner. I can tell from the quality of the pho. It's more of the quantity. I ordered small #2 and I definitely got small. The old owners weren't that stingy. Also, the laminated menu for the drink (see photo) shows a photo of the drinks with numbers shown but NOTHING shows what the drinks are. Will we return, unfortunately cause they are the "best" in town, unless you drive to Pleasanton, CA, the nearest place to good pho. And even though they have a sign that shows American Express, they said I couldn't pay our meal with it. The Amex sign was for the car wash but they had NO SIGN stating that Amex was for carwash. Service: B Quality: C Price: $ and starting to go $$

    Dogshit service. Didn't give us time to order and tapped the table saying in an angry manner that we need to order soon. Genuinely don't go.

    This place has nice cozy vibes. The service was great. It's not a very large place, but the servers…read morewere very attentive and quick. Food came out quickly, especially for considering that every table was full in that place. I ordered the vermicelli bowl #20 with shrimp pork and chicken. I enjoyed the pork the most, there wasn't much chicken, but there was a lot of lettuce. I added all of the sauce given for my noodles, but even after that they still tasted dry. I really wish it was better, but it was just ok food.

    I heard about this place for a long time and we happened to be in Modesto just down the road, so…read morewe stopped by for dinner. This place is really tiny. The bottom level had some tables that were put together to make a large table and maybe 3 other tables. They asked if we wanted to sit upstairs and I said it was fine and up there there was about four tables. I was ready to give this place 5 stars, but I did take a star off first service. When we were sat and asked what we wanted to drink and I started with my drink first and then I ordered for my daughters, the waitress asked me again what I wanted and I was confused. I told her again and then she went on her way. When it came to ordering, I asked for the chicken wing appetizer, pork chow fun and a large #1 pho with two small bowls, so that we could share. After I ordered, she asked me what size pho I wanted. Our drinks arrived, but my 10-year-olds drink was a lot larger than the other drinks we had ordered, which we weren't expecting. The chicken wings came first. We ordered them mild and I will tell you, those were some of the best chicken wings I've ever had...the sauce is sweet, the wings are crisp, but still moist. Definitely will go back and try this in a medium level. The pork chow fun looked a little bit different than what I was used to, but it tasted pretty good. It came with cabbage, broccoli, cilantro and a few other vegetables. The pho came out and the broth smelled really good and I started adding my sauces, but then realize that we did not receive a plate with any of the vegetables. Being seated upstairs, it's really hard to get the attention of your server who is downstairs. When she finally came upstairs, I told her we did not receive any of the vegetables and she went down and brought us a plate that had 3 slices of jalapeno, a pile of bean sprouts and one lime for the 3 of us. No basil whatsoever. At that point I didn't want to ask for anything else, so I let it go. A different server came upstairs and told us to take our time and had placed the bill on the table and I asked for some to go containers, she brought it promptly and then the other server had come and asked if we needed boxes when the boxes and the bag were already sitting on the corner of the table. We will definitely go back in give it another go and hopefully the service is a little bit better because I would love to give this place a 5 star review.
