    Super super fast service. I put in my order and my order came out a second later. I order chicken pho and got beef broth with chicken strips. Vietnamese iced coffee was good and served in a boba cup to go. Price for portion is pricey. I'm a very small person with a small stomach but I still left hungry. At least there's parking :) Thank you!

    There food is so good and delicious and they have good drinks too and the engross are so delicious

    Haven't been here in a while, but the food is just as good as I remembered! Great flavorful broth, good texture on the noodles. Piña colada smoothie is good if you like sweet like me. Service was great they always came to our table to make sure our waters were full and they were really friendly. Restaurant is clean and updated with all the needed sauces on the table. Great selection on the menu. Prices on the higher side for a pho place but its okay its all worth it

    Shrimp fried rice looks better than it taste

    The pho was good only reason I'm giving 3 stars but this is my second time and the chicken wing are so dry and the batter is so thick you don't get to enjoy definitely serving old chicken or need to change up the recipe and rice looks good but no flavor what so ever

    Excellent service! They were slightly busy but we were still seated right away, ordered fast, and our food came out fast as well. We were seated and done eating within 30 minutes. The prices were very reasonable as well. It's located on a semi-busy street but there is parking near. I highly recommend coming by!

    17. Chicken Rice Noodle in Beef Broth

    There's a small parking lot so you can park there! People leave quick whether they're getting takeout or eating indoors so there's usually plenty of parking. There's only one waiter working who basically does everything but clean, since another older employee does that. Be patient! If you order a drink, it'll take a while because he was the only one making them. However, I got an avocado smoothie and it was definitely worth it! It is not too sweet! The pho came out within 5-8 minutes after I ordered. The chicken rice noodle in beef broth was the perfect temperature because I love my broth HOT! There was not a lot of chicken pieces but that's ok. There was a good amount of rice noodle and I was pretty full! You walk back up to the register and pay. They accept credit card. There's a restroom in case you need to know. Will definitely come again if I'm in the area!

    Pho Tai has always been consistent. I remember when they first opened a while back. When my family is in town, we usually go here. I ended up getting a number 6. The broth is good and the noodle portion is decent! The meat portion is a little small, but it doesnt matter because it's overall decent. Inside is small, but the windows make it feel hella bigger than it is. The place gets pretty hot, but they usually open the doors for the breeze to come through. All the servers there are pretty nice and I think they're cool. Parking is a bit rough, but you should be able to secure a spot.

    We got here and we were hungry, but everything we ordered was not good. Noodles are so hard, even the shrimp eggrolls are hard, meat are hard w the Pho soup, the lobster were so hard too! Like what is going on w this place?, the first time we came here was last year and it was decent so that's why we came back. But tonight, will be the last time we will be here. And strongly don't recommend for any of u guys to come here, it's a totally and completely Ripped off and waste of ur hard earned money! Smh, very disappointed.

    I don't have much to say about the place, the food was good and service was quick. The portions were alright, the place is clean.

    Combination pho
    Crystal H.

    Pretty good for a Vietnamese restaurant near my house. We ordered pickup and doordash. We had the combination beef pho, bun rieu, beef stew, chicken fried rice, and bun Bo hue. The bun Bo hue does not taste like legit bbh so don't get it. The broths are just a bit salty but just add a bit of water and it'll be good. The condiments seem fresh. They also have fresh wide flat pho noodles, but are pricey and they don't give much noodles. Will try other items from their extensive menu.

    Fast and easy pho fix. Got the pho tai. It's decent when you're in a rush. Staff is nice and friendly.

    Barely anything and old lime

    Wow this what you get for a large three meat balls and barely any meat and noodles. Barely any bean sprouts. The lime was old. I even called but she she said yeah thats what you get. For total 18.82 im never coming back. You cant even share it.

The space is peppered with some two or three person tables as well, with a small display shelf helping to delineate where the line to the cashier starts. Regarding the viet coffee, this one was particularly strong, with a definite higher proportion of coffee to condensed milk that doesn't offend but also risks being a bit TOO strong (wild to say that when all viet coffee at its core is strong). Overall, it's conveniently located, but I think I might prefer to go further south for something with a more balanced taste profile.

The broth is flavorful and seasoned to perfection. The soup is packed with meat and noodles. The spring rolls are fresh, the ingredients they use really make a difference in quality of the food. The fried potstickers are crunchy and delicious and the sauce they paired it with was sweet and balanced the flavor of the potstickers. Even though it was busy, the kitchen was quick and we had our food within minutes of ordering. This place has so much more than pho, I'll be back to try more from their extensive menu!

They never went to Le Paradis and we wanted to go somewhere our baby would enjoy - hence - noodle soup and Vietnamese food came to mind. Alas we got here and the parking lot in the back was empty... we walked in and it was empty and this lovely lady greeted us and told us to sit wherever we wanted and moved flowers aside to give us the bigger table. They had high chairs which was great! Divey vibes with display cases of baked goods and some potted flowers and plants - cozy! My hubs looked at the menu and made eye contact with our friends and said "uhoh - all english menu has me nervous. Pretty Empty. Nervous." Then the lady who greeted us - she joyfully came out with a bowl of chicken pho and noodles for our baby and said "I take your order but baby can eat first!" - she was so thoughtful and sweet and the bowl was perfect! Bits of chicken and noodles and clear broth... my baby loved it! She took our orders and the food came! I got the BanhXeo and it was big and full of chicken and some shrimps some sprouts and onions and the crepe had such great coconut flavor and texture. My hubs liked his Bun Bo Hue and our friends enjoyed the vermicelli noodle dish as well. As we sat and enjoyed the goodness of our meal that was when the traffic steadily moved through - saw about 7 to 8 different folks walking in and making orders and waiting for their meal and leaving - and some pick ups. It turned out to be a very busy restaurant. The kind lady - she then came back to our table after the dinner rush of to go orders were through - she chatted our table up some and she was telling us that she was the baker and gave us a small bag of macaroons. Her name is Alice and she is so kind. She mentioned that lunch can be very very busy because of the workforce coming through - but I'm glad we were there for dinner and got a nice laugh and conversation with her... the outside was filled with pots of flowers and plants lined along the parking lot and she had some outdoor cats just nestled in the plants. A lovely experience. Her macaroons were so yummy too! We will definitely keep in mind coming here when we're in the area!

Now it has climbed to $8 due to the increase in price of ingredients. However, the taste, service, and quality did not suffer as a result. I love Banh Cuon. I open the fish sauce container and drown it. It soaks up the flavor and I avoid having to dip each slippery piece in the container. Overall, best quality for the price. Sandwiches are made by the same people that were there a decade ago, maybe even further.

Unfortunately, on our way home we realized we forgot the to-go bag with all the leftover food at the restaurant. I immediately called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I was told they had already thrown the bag away because they waited for a while and were preparing to close. I returned to the restaurant around 8:45 PM to ask about it in person. I spoke with one waitress who said there was no manager available. Another waitress came over and I explained the situation again. She said there was nothing they could do, and the conversation became unpleasant. When I expressed my frustration, she told me to go ahead and contact a lawyer and then told me to leave the store. I understand mistakes happen and that food may sometimes be thrown away for safety reasons, but the way the situation was handled was disappointing and unprofessional. A little understanding or better customer service would have gone a long way. We used to enjoy coming here, but this experience left a bad impression.
