    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.

    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

    Hu tieu dac biet

    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.

    They were hella nice here and the food tasted exactly like Saigon Bay in Stockton. I'm pretty sure the menus were the same. Probably the same owners. Anyway, everything was good but service was a little slow and the food took a while to come out. The outside is like a car wash so the whole building/area is kinda weird. Bathrooms are also located outside and you need a key which is connected to some old cans lol like you'd find at some rinky dink gas station.

    Notice of price increase.

    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.

    NOT SATISFIED!!! When I open the box of Beef Broccoli which is a very small food I have seen.read more

    We were mtg w/a friend who lives in Tracy. There was nothing open on a Sunday in Atwater (the 1/2…read moreway point for all of us), so we decided on Modesto. This place had good reviews so I was excited since I haven't had great Vietnamese food in Fresno. Was hoping this would be a treat. But it wasn't. Service wasn't great. No one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything. It wasn't crazy busy in there either since we there at off hours. Ambiance is standard for this kinda place. Whatever. Pretty big menu tho. Decided to do appetizers for dinner. ORDER: Crispy Crab Cakes: There was no discernible crab in them. Not even fake crab. No real flavor inside. It just tasted of overly greasy crust. But it was crispy I'll say. Choked down 1 & gave up. Fried Rolls: Normally the thing I love most at Vietnamese restaurants. This was mushy inside & bland. Pork & Shrimp Spring Roll: Wasn't filled very much. Like barely there noodles. One section I ate had none but had white radish strips, so I thought it was just lettuce, pork, shrimp & radish. I don't like a ton ton of noodles but it needed triple the amt to be an avg amt of noodle. The best thing about this was the peanut sauce. I give them high marks for their peanut sauce. Fried got pork vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls. Her high praise was "they gave a lot of meat." But otherwise her reaction was "it's ok." Other friend got garlic butter chicken wings. I had one. There was no garlic flavor on the wings but there was a bit of garlic & onion on the plate w/them. Otherwise, they tasted like naked wings. I like naked wings & admit they were cooked well. She also got brisket & flank pho w/out noodles. She said meat was tender & delicious. I really really wanted to like them more than I did. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever reviewed something where I gave less than 4 stars. Not my cup of tea, but glad they seem to have found their audience since they don't have poor reviews overall. Happy for them. Still on the quest for good Central Valley Vietnamese!
