    Such friendly staff, extremely helpful while ordering over the phone for pickup. We ordered 113. Dollars of food and when I arrived for pickup she helped me carry it to my car. Everyone enjoyed lunch and it was nice that everything was made correctly. Can't wait to try it again.

    I'm glad I tried this place and disregarded the 3.3 rating. This was some delicious pho! Service is quick, servers are attentive and polite, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The broth was very aromatic, clean, and full of flavor. The peanut sauce was hoisin sauce heavy (which I like) and the chili oil had good flavor. The only thing I can say wasn't perfect was the noodles being slightly over cooked. That being said, this did not take away from my great experience here. I absolutely recommend you trying it for yourself before passing due to the current (3.3 rating).

    Came for lunch on a Friday. The service was fast and friendly. They have a large menu of food, the quality isn't bad for the price, not to mention the portions were generous. I love how large the space is, it doesn't feel cramped and offers lots of natural light.

    We where on this side of town and my gf and I decided to check this place out , we found a MAGGOT in our food , we also noticed that the meat in my pho was green ! We showed the owner and said they could only remove the charge of one plate . This is absolutely disgusting!

    I have been coming here for a while a regular place for my family , and it's sad today was the worst unprofessional experience I've ever encountered. My husband and I ordered the vermicelli rolls with lettuce and my husband noticed gnats in his lettuce so he sent it back and it was remade and new lettuce . But as I was bout to take a bite into my pho I notice a cockroach on my chicken . And the manger couldn't even come have a conversation with us she just waved her hand in annoyance. This is disappointing and nasty . Hopefully yall don't come back here !

    If you're looking for the best pho in the area, then Pho Garden is the place to go! This cozy and friendly restaurant has been serving up delicious pho for over 4 years now, and it's the only pho spot on the Southside. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel welcome by the excellent customer service. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that you have a wonderful dining experience. Now, let's talk about the pho. It's truly perfect, with a rich and flavorful broth that's the star of the show. The broth is cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of spices and herbs. Whether you're a fan of traditional beef pho or you prefer a vegetarian option, Pho Garden has got you covered. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try the spicy pho? It's got a bit of a kick, but it's still incredibly delicious. But that's not all - the spring rolls are simply delectable. They're filled with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked shrimp, and they're served with a delicious peanut sauce that's just the right amount of sweet and savory. In fact, the peanut sauce is so good that I switched it out for the fish sauce - there's just something about it that's so addictive.

    LOVED my lunch! Portion was amazing, and very delicious. You get to choose a soup and a rangoon or egg roll. I got a hot and sour soup, which was really good. If I had to rate my overall experience, it would be a 9/10

    Perfect spot for a get in get out kinda meal that won't break the bank. Pho Garden has variety of Vietnamese and American Chinese foods for a decent price point, it's no frill but is good for what it is, restaurants clean, service is fast and food is pretty decent. I will say their ambiance and and food could use a little attention if they wanted to be up to a 4-5 star place, don't get me wrong the food is good but I'm just wanting some more authentic Vietnamese dishes, at least a handful not the whole menu, I know you have to cater a bit to the majority of your customer base hence the American versions. But the menus is so big ditch some of the items and put some more authentic items in, that would make it not a place to go to get a bite, but a place you go out of the way to eat!

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

Walked in and waited for a few minutes before someone handed us menus and told us to sit wherever. Just handed us menus...in a kind of "just go sit down kinda way". Not real friendly. The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable. More chicken and beef in that chicken and beef pot, too, please ... The person waiting on us, if you could call it that, was not personable and could not have cared less about interacting. His drive by meal drop-offs were the epitome of antisocial. Probably won't return.

It gives a positive sign about the restaurant itself The portions are huge! I ordered the whole chicken? Sichuan style. I asked if it is the whole chicken I don't know if language barrier lol she did the sign of no no with her hand. It is actually maybe equal to 2 chickens! Not complaining! I was very happy with it!
