    Grilled Lemongrass Honey pork

    Friday night at 7p the place is empty. Post-covid booths with large plexiglass sheets for dividers and a slightly '70s strip-club decor. But you wanted to know about the food! The menu gives new meaning to "pan-Asian"; I think they covered every Asian ethnicity possible. We stuck with Vietnamese (because it's supposed to be a pho restaurant?) and were pleased with the choice. The kitchen shouldn't try to do too much.

    Pho Tai Soup
    Melissa T.

    I work in Allegheny County and needed to do some groceries before heading back down to Washington. Decided to pick up some Vietnamese which I have never had before. I got their photai noodle soup, spring rolls and crispy cheese wontons. Their portion for their photai noodle soup is huuuge, I mean just look at it. The photai noodle soup has Slice rare beef, onion, cilantro. Then all their soups include siding FRESH bean sprout, basil, pepper, lime, plum-sauce and Sriracha Pho Beef broth. I don't even think I put a dent in it! I absolutely enjoyed all their fresh ingredients that they provided me for it. And am excited to have it for a couple lunches. Their spring rolls were delicious absolutely loved their house fish sauce. The crispy wontons definitely lived up to their name, perfect amount of crispiness. I did have an issue with finding their website. So I ended up asking for a paper menu and then they told me their website is .net which causes some confusion. Which is nice to know because they have such a bigger selection than what I saw on the @yelp menu. The lady at the front was suuuuper helpful with that information and just all around really nice!

    I've been here twice for lunch with coworkers, and it is always a good experience with tasty food. The first time I ordered chicken pho, which was great. This time I ordered a salmon sushi roll. It was simple, but fresh and tasty. The staff here are friendly and attentive. Our table had our food served within 15 minutes of ordering. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the portions were all generous. We'll definitely be back here again for lunch next time we're in the area.

    I'm having a hard time writing a review for this one. If I told you I loved the food and we were there a total of 50 minutes on a Saturday night, would you give it 5 stars? Well that's what happened. If I started off with the fact we waited 5 minutes to be seated as first in line and then we didn't see a wait staff in the table area for another 20 minutes, would you give it 1 star? Well, that's what happened. We had no drinks and others were just waiting around with empty plates. It took us 25 solid minutes to order and only after I went up to the kitchen area and asked someone to help us. I took less than 5 minutes for them to take our order and deliver our 2 bowls of phoga (chicken). We ate and paid in about 20 minutes. That's incredibly fast. Workers in the service industry are hard to find these days. Having the entire restaurant not see waitstaff for 20 minutes is really unacceptable. They were working on take out orders I presume. The food and pricing were great. My compassion wins out this time, but I really hope this level of service is not the new normal.

    Seafood lover! Soup selection on this rainy day was most excellent choice. I like it spicy so I went with the Spicy kimchi seafood soup, definitely recommended.

    Amazing food & great service! Their Pho beef soup super delicious and portion is huge. Thank you so much now it's my favourite place 10 out of 10

    Meatball PHO
    Jennifer P.

    The positive the place is clean and the service is OK I love PHO get it every where I go! My favorite meal by far! I got the meatball Pho I gave it a honest try! The meat was chewy and had a flavor I had never tasted in any meatball pho EVER! I ended up wasting most of them. The broth was bland at best (definitely not a slow cooked bone broth for 12-16 hours! The best part of PHO is placing the bowl upto your lips and slurping the broth! I skipped this and let it leave the table mostly full! The hot oil I get everywhere had a weird taste to it and definitely wasn't hot! My wife got the chicken rice vegetable. She said it was ok but dry not much sauce no regular soy Sauce In conclusion if you want friendly service and a nice abundance it checks both of those boxes But the food is below subpar!

    Very casual place with very fast service, the food was very good and the portions are huge , definitely worth a trip here

    First time trying!   Looking forward to another local!

The filling has more spice forward than am used to-- more of an allspice or anise type flavor? Not bad. Just more prominent. very good soup overall. Lots of green onion. Nice broth. We had the "egg rolls". They are in actuality Cha Gio. Not Chinese restaurant type egg rolls. In other restaurants they are called "spring rolls" (deep fried) . Here apparently the spring rolls are the fresh uncooked rolls. The Cha Gio were good! Note--CASH ONLY. We didn't realize this until we sat down. Fortunately we had enough green paper. And there is an ATM near by per the staff. Also note the prices on the menu are not what they are charging for some things. And things look to have gotten more expensive. As example. The wonton soup is $13 on the physical in restaurant menu but $15 on our bill. And I saw an online picture of the menu of $1.95 for the egg rolls and spring rolls. They are now $6 on the current menu. This is an old school Vietnamese hole in the wall pho place. Paper napkins, plastic chop sticks and vinyl table cloths. 5/5 for what it is. Would definitely return for the Cha Gio. Kid gives thumbs up for the Pho and would Return for that also.

They have a wide variety of different noodle soups, rices, and vermicillis. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Pho Minh Soup), which came with rare beef, beef balls, flank steak, and chicken. The broth was decent -- not the most flavorful I've had, but still satisfying. My partner got the Bun Thang, a vermicelli soup with chicken, egg, pork, and shrimp. Unfortunately, the broth on that one was a bit bland, and the toppings weren't finely shredded. Solid portion size though, since I left very full. The ambiance reminds me of hole-in-the-wall type restaurants - simple, no-frills, and a spot of the locals. Fyi: this place only accepts cash, so come prepared.

It is pretty small inside and there are a few tables outside. You order at the counter or can order by phone or online. Usually I order online and every time I have walked in to find it bagged and ready to go. They did change ordering systems a few months ago which had a few kinks to work out. The food is mostly sandwiches and rice or vermicelli bowls. There also is soup, summer rolls and a cucumber salad. In addition they have coffee and tea, lemonade and bubble tea. I have not tried any drinks but I would like to. My go to is the Feelin' Tofu Banh Mi which has the tofu, veggies and yummy sauce and I like to add some jalapeños for some kick. The bread is flavorful with a little crunch that holds up pretty well. The veggies give such a light tasty crunch. I do feel that the sandwich could do with a little more on it portion wise both for value but also to be more balanced with the amount of bread. It is a tasty sandwich though. We also like to get the tofu summer rolls. The balance here can be a bit off with too much lettuce. However, the sauce is absolutely delicious and could make just about anything taste good. This is a great place to stop by for lunch or dinner (but beware they close at 6) or just to grab a drink during the day. We like to pick up the food to take to a brewery to eat. It is usually pretty easy to find street parking close by. Friendly service and tasty food.

It had a lot of ice, so would ask for less next time. The chicken pho had a delicious broth, and the mix-ins were already all added in when I got it. Definitely one of the cheaper places to get it so I'm not complaining and it was perfect on a cold day. Service was great, pretty quick and very accommodating. They also had a small seating area tucked in the back that was nice and quiet to get work done or chat, as well as outside too, but most people get it to go. Their bahn mi is also delicious, and definitely worth a try too!
