Service was fast and order taken by a nice lady who I'm sure hides a very nice smile somewhere under her frustrated perma-frown. Ordered the Pho Combo and Thai Tea. The drink arrived almost instantly, and the Pho was less than a minute behind. My usual Pho routine is to sample the broth as is, then start adding the basil, lime, sriracha et al. But this broth was sooo damn good! I lovingly slurped down at least 10 spoonfuls before pausing to consider adding some basil and lime. It is so good right out of the pot that it was hard to fathom changing anything. I could continue on and on about this Pho. But the summary is: It's Great!! Make a special trip to this place. You won't be disappointed.

Guarantee you will leave fat and happy! . I got the same stuff I get at most Pho houses. Fresh / Sprint Rolls, Beef Combo Pho, and Thai Tea. Rolls were good, they came with a sweet n sour dipping sauce. The Pho was excellent! It's the first time I can remember when there was just as much meat as there were noodles! Being lunch time, I ordered the small bowl. It was packed so full of brisket and flank and tripe and meatballs and tendon that I couldn't finish it all - I was stuffed. One nice touch is they the noodle are cut in half, so if you haven't quite mastered eating noodles with chopsticks, these are easy to scoop onto the spoon. A welcome touch for most Americans. :). Oh yea ... along with beef and chicken Pho, they also have Duck Pho - if you're feeling adventurous.

You must understand, since I don't drive, this is a decision I give great thought to before I take into action. Because once my husband shuts the door on a place and says we aren't going back, that's it. He doesn't give them an ounce of grace. Their heads are on the chopping block and they're blacklisted for life. He approved of the interior. It was casual enough to be comfortable, but had some nice touches to make you forget you're in Anchorage's most "dangerous" neighborhood. We walked in and were greeted by.... Noone. We had to walk all the way to the back of the restaurant to get someone's attention and were instructed to seat ourselves. A few minutes later the same gal , swings by slaps some menus and water on the table and says not a word and disappears. Mmmm.... OK then. The same individual returns later to take our orders for drinks, apps and entrees. A short time later she returns later with drinks. Then.... nothing. No app. Then our entrees appear. No app. Then our rice. Then finally our overcooked, inedible app. Wtf. I should have refused to pay for it. Whatever. My entree was a 3.5, my husband's was a 2. The app was -1. My husband called me a liar for hyping up this place. He was pissed. Dammit. I have to take this one off my fave list, my husband will never drive me there again. Sigh.

There are about twenty tables that can seat 2-6 people. A small restaurant with a Vietnamese decoration that makes you feel inviting and comfortable. Server: 4 Stars Family owned and operated, our server made recommendations and were ready to order with her recommendations. She remembered our table's order and brought us our drinks within two minutes. She was pleasant, friendly, and professional. Food: 3.5 - 4 Stars Menu items are numbered so you don't have to pronounced the words when ordering. We had the following: Number 75: Noodle Dish: Hù TiẾU Nước - 3.5 Stars $21.99 (dish is a broth base) A Rice noodle with shrimp, char-siu pork, fried green onions, fried shallots, beans sprouts with fried wontons in a savory broth. It is like a Pho. The broth is light, savory and little bit sweet. I believe the sweetness is from the fried green onions and shallots. The char-siu pork is thinly sliced with two or three boiled shrimp. It was good but lacking in depth of flavor. 77: Noodle Dish Hù Tiểu Mi Nước $21.99 - 3.25 Stars It has the same ingredients as a number 75 but it includes egg noodles with the rice noodles. The broth is light and savory and is more filling due to the amount of noodles. Number 86: GRILLED PORK - 4 Stars Creamy egg mayo, grilled pork, pickled daikon, carrots, cucumber, cilantro and green onion. $16.99 The Banh Mi (bread was light, airy, and flakey) it is about a 12" loaf. The marinated grill pork was sweet and salty. A good balance and portion of meat for the sandwich. Also, you get a side of fresh veggies (leafy greens and cucumbers) Numbered 70: PHO TAI - 3.5 stars $23.99 Beef broth, rice noodle, thinly sliced Wagyu steak, sliced yellow and green onions, and bean sprouts. The beefy broth was light and flavorful. However you couldn't tell if the beef was Wagyu steak. It was tender but too thin to tell the texture from a different beef loin. The rice noodle bowl was one size, Large. So if you can't it all, you can take it as leftovers. So, would we come again? Yes, but to try other dishes that are not "soup based". Enjoy

They were able to sit the people coming in and filled to go orders constantly. It was not a moment that went by, that no one walked through the door. How could I miss this spot for 3 years? There was one server, but she served everyone with a smile on her face. My daughter and I enjoyed the ambiance, presentation, and the food was delicious! I don't know what type of dipping sauce came with the fresh rolls, but never had at any other Thai restaurants. It was nice and light, tasted like basil with a hint of spice. There was not one thing I can think of complaining about. By the way, the water tasted crisp and the waitress came around and refilled our cups. Great experience!

And the gra pow fried rice with chicken, I could eat that all by myself. I mean, if you don't like basil, are you even Asian? My mouth was burning but burning happy.

We got the Combination Fried Rice, and it was the best freaking fried rice I've ever had. Not only was it flavorful, but it was also generous on the portions - both in the overall quantity and in the amount meat that they had. They didn't skimp on the amount or the flavor here. The Banh Xeo, even though it was supposed to be the main attraction, became kind of the side course. That's not to say it wasn't tasty, it was also delicious. But I think the main star of the show is their fried rice. Additionally had some Thai Iced Tea. And again, one of the best Thai Iced Teas I've ever had. Strong but tasty. It definitely kept me wired and wide awake for my wilderness drives. Didn't expect to find such a random gem when traveling to the Last Frontier.

Second, the service is always impeccable (even when busy). Thirdly, this is a family run restaurant who you can tell pour their heart and soul into this place. Above all though, I respect the fact that the owner/ manager Clyde not only runs a fine establishment but also mentors his employees and encourages them. But to reiterate- food is amazing, service is excellent and you are supporting a local business. They have earned my $ every single time I will be in Anchorage without a doubt. Keep up the good work! Can't wait until my next visit.
