I wasn't feeling well and was craving something warm, comforting, and flavorful, so I decided to…read moretry the pho here. I'm so glad I did!
I originally chose this restaurant because of the prices I saw online, which were about $3 less than the current prices. When I called, they explained that they haven't been able to update the online pricing yet. While I was initially surprised by the difference, I still found the current prices very reasonable. I paid $13 for the Chicken Pho and $14 for the Brisket Pho.
The broth was very flavorful, rich, and comforting. The food tasted incredibly fresh, and even by the time I got home, everything was still nice and hot.
I also ordered chicken pho for my kids, and both of them ate theirs! That says a lot because kids can definitely be picky. One of them even wanted more pho, so I'd say they enjoyed it just as much as I did.
I really appreciated how thoughtfully everything was packaged for takeout. The broth comes in its own container, while the noodles, bean sprouts, lime, jalapeños, and other fresh ingredients are packaged separately. They also provide additional sauce packets and a utensils packet with spoons and forks. I saw chopsticks but forgot to grab them. This keeps everything fresh and allows you to put your pho together exactly how you like it once you get home.
And a warning from someone who learned the hard way : DON'T dump all the chili oil into your pho unless you REALLY love spice! I made that mistake, and it was extremely spicy! It was actually still delicious, and since I wasn't feeling well, the heat felt great on my throat. They also provide jalapeños and additional sauce on the side, so you can customize the flavor and spice level.
The portion was a good size and definitely satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared.
Customer services was friendly, and helpful. I ordered ahead, and as soon as I arrived, my food was ready. No long wait, which I really appreciated.
There is also a dining area, so next time I'd love to dine in and enjoy the full restaurant experience. But if I'm having one of those days where I just want to stay home in the comfort of my own house, I'd have no problem ordering takeout again.
I love discovering restaurants that have an authentic feel, and this definitely felt like a place where I could explore more of the menu and try something new. I'm already thinking about what I want to order next!
Would I come back? Absolutely.
Kid-approved? Definitely.
Fresh, flavorful, hot, and good portions? Yes!
I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially to someone trying pho for the first time. The staff was wonderful, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the overall experience was great. I'm looking forward to coming back for another bowl of pho and trying more from the menu!
