    The restaurant is clean and well organized. The staff are nice and fast with orders. My favorite is pho tái bò vien. The meat is very tender and the soup is flavorful. Sometimes we ordered egg rolls as well which was also very good and crispy :)

    The soup, spring rolls, and egg rolls were decent overall. Pho broth we received was very salty and bland, and you could barely taste the meat in it. Service was where things fell short. Our server seemed to have trouble keeping track of orders, not just at our table, but others around us too. One of my friend's orders was forgotten, and they ended up waiting while the rest of us already had our food. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially with service and consistency.

    WOW. This place is an absolute gem! We discovered it while attending the Indian Wells tournament and ended up coming back the very next day because the food was just that good! The pho is hands down the best pho I have ever had. And I say that as someone who absolutely loves pho and orders it everywhere. The broth is incredibly flavorful but still tastes clean and authentic. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all, just rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. The chicken is real chicken breast and honestly some of the best I've ever had in pho! The spring rolls were also fantastic. Super fresh and generously packed with shrimp and pork. The staff here are unbelievably kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can really feel the warmth and authenticity of the place! One detail I really appreciated is how incredibly clean everything is. The utensils were spotless! I've been to places where the spoons can feel a little greasy or have stains, but here everything was perfectly clean. You can tell they really care. If you're anywhere near Indian Wells or Palm Desert, do not miss this spot! Truly one of those places you're so happy you discovered!

    3.5/5 After a quick gym session at PF before heading home, I decided to grab a chicken and rice plate. Vietnamese meat and rice dishes always come through, and this was my first time here. While the portion size was decent, I've had better elsewhere. The chicken itself was good, but the rice portion was hella small, which I can eat a lot of! The place seemed very busy, and I'm sure they get a lot of patrons during the colder winter months to enjoy a nice comforting bowl of pho!

    Pulled up with a party of 11 people. We had to wait for about 10-15 mins so it wasn't too bad. They made a long table for us outside. We ordered our food and they brought it out pretty fast. I thought service was pretty decent. They constantly refilled our waters. We did had to go inside to pay the bill and they were willing to split the bill per item, which was nice. The food was good for attending to a large party. I think they did really well.

    So glad I stopped in today while running errands. Top tier service: From being sat, to the check in's, & the bill coming within 30 seconds of them seeing me putting my chop sticks down. Everyone was so kind and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions are generous and the food is authentic. Definitely gained a new customer as I'm new to the area. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.

    It was the day after my cousin's wedding and we were in desperate need of some soup to bring us back to life! Pho Vu fit the bill. Luckily, it wasn't too far from the hotel we checked out from. The place was pretty busy with varying ethnicities but also a lot of Asians, so that was a good sign lol. We both ordered pho (dac biet and chin, nam). Ratios were perfect and the broth and meat were made well. Also ordered banh xeo and a Vietnamese iced coffee. I'm not usually a coffee person, but really enjoyed this one. Coming from the Bay Area, we weren't expecting much but everything hit the spot. Service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Would totally come here again if in the area.

    Are you guys still open? Called a few days in a row and no answer?

    We were just there last night and they were super busy. They did have someone answering the phone, though, I noticed.

    Can you order their Pho to go?

    Yes

    Does their Bon Bu Hue contain congealed pig's blood? I ordered one today and was not sure what some pieces in my soup were. Then I looked up online and notices some recipes do include them.

    I never had that, so I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry!

MENU: This is not totally my thing, so don't know how to explain it but everything looks so sweet and sugary. FOOD PREP: Excellent, looks like artworks in a cub. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent, but waaaaay too sweet for me. I found out later you can ask for 50% or 25% sweetness... the looks of the drinks themselves are very artful.

But after my experience, I think it was best that I stayed away for a while. I came here with a friend and we had a popcorn chicken to share while we had our own poke bowls. I'm going to be completely honest and transparent, but we were disappointed at the portion size. The popcorn chicken was good, they brought it out and it tasted crispy and flavorful. And how much was it? $10. Imagine ten dollars for about 7 small pieces. Never in my years of dining out have I ever felt so robbed. I would pay $6 for this portion size. It was good but $10 quality good? Highway robbery. I've never felt so betrayed by my hometown like this before, everywhere else I liked and had no problem. We got our bowls and we both looked at our tiny pieces of fish in it. We could count them on our fingers. I had about ten small pieces of fish per 3 fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail). It's funny because I was thinking as I was ordering "3 proteins in a bowl?? What a steal". Little did I know, it wasn't a steal but the exact opposite. A robbery. Actually a steal for them probably, but not me as the paying customer. I was contemplating about giving them four stars because everything tasted good for all our dishes, but four stars mean I'd come back again. I would absolutely not come back because I'd rather go to the Poke chains in the desert because they're priced reasonable and they give more. Also at first I was interested in their Chicken Katsu but there's another Chicken Katsu plate lunch in the valley that has an amazing portion size and tastes delicious. I have no reason to come back here. This is my first time feeling disappointed for the experience and for what I paid. 3 stars because food tasted good, but I have nothing else to say. I've tried the other poke chains in the desert, and this place is ranked last for best portion to price ratio. I can't speak for anything else on the menu but I just don't understand having "Poke" in the restaurant name and sprinkling the protein like a garnish rather than for what it is. It boggles my mind.
