    Perfect for a quick lunch. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were fresh. Will definitely return

    I don't remember what I ordered, but I know it was some kind of chicken with rice and vegetables and it was good! Not only that, but they give you a good portion. Well, they give you a good portion for a Vietnamese meal, but the prices are a little high if you're seeking value. Nevertheless, I recommend it. Very tasty. Staff is also friendly.

    We have actually ate here quite a bit but only carryout due to the pandemic. We decided to dine in and the experience was even better. It seems to be a family ran business and they take pride in their food! It's a small humble business - clean and all the staff if welcoming and helpful with any questions. We both ordered the veggie Pho and added shrimp - it's a generous portion with the medium bowl and oh so good! Lots of flavor lots of veggies and on the table are Hoison sauce and hot sauce! We always get an order of spring rolls - filled with fresh crispy veggies and a couple of shrimp and that yummy peanut sauce! Next time we plan to try their Bahn Mi sandwich as it looked good as well. Ample parking - clean bathrooms and it's right next to Waterbean coffee!

    We called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes! There could be more meat in the pho but the takeaway included all the fixings (including the sauce). The egg rolls were skinny but very tasty & crispy. The bahn mi was good but again could have more meat filling. The chicken and rice was disappointing, we thought it would be a piece of chicken breast/thigh but it was stir fried chicken pieces. Flavor was OK. Parking available in the plaza. Indoor dining available.

    Chicken pho

    We were in the area and decided to check this place out for some pho. We thought about ordering ahead of time, and really wished we had. When my family walked in, the gentleman up front looked a little shocked and slightly uncomfortable that I had small children with me. He stared and said nothing until finally asking if we were dining in or out, and then gestured toward a table to sit. Many of the items we read in store were not included in the menu online, which was a relief because I really wanted a chicken pho and pork banh mi, and those weren't listed online. They didn't offer a side of fried rice but he said he could make one for us without meat, and in the end he brought out a full chicken fried rice plate. Oh well. While we waited for our food, a few people came by for pick up orders and the staff seemed pretty overwhelmed. Meanwhile, I wandered around the small restaurant to find some high chairs for my children, and finally found some stored in the back by the back door. The man up front watched as I carried the high chairs and struggled to move chairs around to make them fit at our table. Our dishes were brought out one by one and everything looked good. We had to ask for more utensils and other items, including small bowls for our children, since everything was one size. Overall, everything was good. Just good. All of the food had nice blends of flavors, but the flavors were very mild. The banh mi baguette, however, was very nicely toasted. I think I was most impressed with that, haha! It gave a delicate crunch when bitten into without scraping your palette. Crunch and then soft. It was lovely. The service was nice, and after a few minutes of asking for things for our table, it looked as though the man was beginning to understand he may have been a little lax on our needs previously. I think that after opening (or reopening as some other yelpers say), they have to readjust to the hustle and bustle of the food industry. We ordered boba smoothies before we left (always a plus when a restaurant offers boba!), and I appreciated that throughout our entire ordering process we were asked many times what our order was , I liked that they preferred to make sure they got the order right. At the end, the bill was double the price of our usual spot, which was kind of a surprise. Nice little spot, but I can't say it's become a favorite.

    Roach in glass

    Cockroach in my glass. Thankfully saw it before I put my lips to it. You may need to zoom into the photo but its little legs were wriggling as I took this photo. The pho broth was good if maybe a little basic. My waiter didn't seem to speak English well or just wasn't listening. Asked for pho rare beef and add brisket but just got extra rare beef. I won't be returning on account of a roach being served to me.

    Grilled lemongrass pork and cold cut Banh Mi's + egg roll app. All yummy.

    Feels nuts that this place has been around for a while and I'm just now figuring it out given my love of Banh Mi sandwiches, Bun and other foods from this part of Asia. Haven't tried the Pho yet but here's the run down of the Banh Mi's. Tried both the cold cut and lemongrass grilled pork versions and enjoyed both. A couple pieces of the pork were a little gristly but the majority was just fine. The bread was good and I loved the large about of fresh jalapeno they included. It's easy to remove if you don't want that much but hard to add if it ain't there. I like heat so was a happy guy. All the toppings were tasty and fresh. We also tried the egg rolls that have taro, carrots, pork. They were deep fried deliciousness with a good dipping sauce. Online ordering was easy, food was ready on time and I appreciated their dedication to following COVID-19 protocols on masking and social distancing.

    16. Veggie pho size medium

    The pho here is excellent. I got the veggie pho and it was packed full of various veggies and noodles in a delicious broth. The portions are big and the medium size was plenty for me. I still had so many noodles left that I couldn't finish. They are seating every other table currently to take covid precautions.

    1000/100 This is my go-to pho spot in lake norman , nothing compares. The bun bo hue is my favorite , it's spicy and flavorful. The service was amazing and fast. I highly recommend this for your next night out !!

    Jetton Road Side

    I don't normally give a new restaurant 5 stars for an initial visit but one visit was all it took to win me over as a customer. I was introduced to Pho by my youngest son Brian because he and his wife Jill are fans the cuisine and have several close friends in Marietta GA who are Vietnamese. Several years ago I got a call from him and asked where he was and he said that he and his wife Jill were in Da Nang. Prior to the arrival of the Grandkids, they traveled extensively and you had no idea where the calls would be from. In any case, he introduced me to Pho and I loved the rich bone broth and the marriage of all of the ingredients. Unfortunately my wife does not have my like for different cuisines so if it's not found in Western PA, I'm pretty much on my own. This place opened about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it's really off the beaten path even though the back of the building is visible off of Jetton Road. Best description would be it's across the parking lot from CVS. I went up after Church today solo. I misread the opening times for Sunday and thought it said 11am when it is actually Noon till 7pm. Since I got there about 11:40, I went ahead and left and filled up my car with gas and got back right at noon. Opened door and walked in just after noon and was greeted warmly by one of the servers who immediately seated me and gave me a menu. She kind of reminds me or the prototype Jewish Mother and I mean that is a complimentary fashion. She fussed all over me and the others who came in after I did and she is the reason for the 5 stars I started with a cup of Hot Jasmine Tea and was asked if I wanted that with Lemon or Honey. Asked for just a bit of Lemon. Even though the menu if confined to he front and back of a single page, the menu is quite extensive and it's going to take a number of visits to work my way through it. I ordered the Pho Special which is the #10. Apparently you order by number because we murder the pronunciation of these menu items so badly. No problem with that because it leads to correct orders and no confusion. There have been some humorous diners where I tried to order the French, Spanish or Italian and ended up with something a bit different from what I thought I was ordering. The Pho Special is a Hot Steaming Bowl of Bone Broth with Rice Noodles, Meatballs, tendon and thinly sliced Beef. Before it is served, the bring out a plate of Bean Sprouts, Thai Basil, Lemon and Jalapeno Peppers although they looked more like Serrano Peppers. No problem I like both. These are for garnish and customizing your Pho by adding herbs, additional protein, a bit of Citrus note or more heat to the dish. It was a full rich meal with great taste and texture. A picture is posted showing the more than ample serving size with was more than I could eat in one sitting. The Manager and I guess the owner came by several time to check on me as well as my original server. I complimented him on the Pho and he said his secret was that Bone Broth was cooked overnight every night and is fresh every day and not made from Food Service Stock. From the rich taste, you could tell that a lot of love and pride went into the dishes offered to the public. Wil definitely be back in the near future. It's a bit hidden but this Gem is well worth the hunt to find real Vietnamese Cuisine.

    Chicken pad thai - very gross

    This place served up my least favorite pad thai dish i have ever had in my life. Its essentially peanut butter pasted throughout poorly cooked thai noodles. Its dry, chalky, and non editable. We also ordered chicken fried rice that looked nothing like their google photos and is also not good. I called to ask if they in fact just smear peanut butter through the pad thai bc I thought something was wrong with my order but the employee said thats what they do. I have thrown out the pad thai and am suffering through the rice -

    Special pho
    Suzanne S.

    What a great spot that appears to be a hole in the wall in a strip mall but actually features some really delicious food! They practice social distancing and follow all protocols to keep us safe. They also do a bang-up take out business! On our visit, we had great service. Our food was good too. The pho had such a rich broth, and the noodles and beef were yummy too. My daughter had the pad thai and she liked it, but it was very peanut-sesame forward, so not my favorite flavors. The spring rolls were fine, but I didn't care for the amount of mint in them, or the peanut sauce served with them. I honestly ordered the fried rolls, but didn't feel like correcting them. I would not get those again. All in all, a solid pho place and one I've missed since Ramen Soul closed in Mooresville. Give them a try.
