    You know it's legit when you can barely read the sign outside but as soon as you walk in, the aroma makes you even hungrier. This place is legit! I've been to different pho places here in Bakersfield and this is the only place that seems to have that rich, flavorful broth. Their pho is absolutely pho-nomenal! The service is great as well. The aunties are super nice and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your bowl of pho or whatever food you ordered. Highly recommed this place!

    A casual pay before you eat type of place that is both sit down but looks like they cater to a lot of take out! We ordered a large combination pho, pork and shrimp spring rolls and a grilled pork banh mi, just to try a little bit of everything! The large combination pho comes with meatballs, rare steak, brisket, flank + and gigantic bundle of noodles! I liked that the noodles were still springy & not overcooked, but felt like the broth was just alright, it honestly feels like it's missing a bit of depth and is a little salty. I also wish that they would give extra cilantro & basil as garnish! The spring rolls were pretty good! I've never had spring rolls that had crispy stuff (not entirely sure what it is) on the inside but it was a nice texture to go along with it. I honestly thought that the banh mi was the best part of the meal. The grilled pork on the inside was SO GOOD and the bread was so soft and nice to bite into... (you know how much it hurts to bite into a baguette and have it cut up your mouth!!!) but it was a little dry so I would have loved to have had extra mayonnaise on the bread. Overall, pretty decent! I would definitely love to come back to get another banh mi!

    We came in for lunch today because the weather was perfect for pho. Food is great, never any issues there, but when it came to the service this time around, it wasn't up to par. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time- a number 2 and 14 small with one water and a sprite. The lady brought us out two waters. We didn't mention it since it was pretty busy and it wasn't a major issue. Once we were done with our meal, I asked the server for a container to go and the check and waited about ten minutes before realizing she had forgotten about us. So I had to stop her again. Once we got the container, my husband went to pay and we asked the lady to please remove the sprite from our ticket since we never got it. She then proceeded to (what seemed to me) scold us for not asking for the soda. I didn't like this at all. It is not our responsibility to remind servers of what they write down, busy or not.

    Hole in the wall restaurant but a hidden gem for sure!! Hands down the best pho I've ever had. Knocks all the other places out of the park. Everyone working is always super sweet and service is very fast. Love this place!! The owners are very kind

    Shrimp spring roll, Vietnamese special bahn mí

    Decent, but I've had better. I wish the bahn mí was spicy and softer bread. Service was ok.

    Pad Thai (vegetarian, no tofu)  Does include peanuts.

    I didn't know if they had the same menu as Pho Vy#2 on White Lane, because some of their options were not the same. I'm glad they still make Pad Thai.

In comes my relationship with the Wonton soup. Quite frankly the relationship was inappropriate, toxic even. It really wasn't that good but I kept ordering it ???? With a touch of MSG and some probably costco bought wontons, I slowly returned to my original form. Now flip the narrative. One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5. This ain't the country side of BeiJing but it'll do.

Too much hoisin, not enough peanut flavor. Pho was good, broth had a nice flavor. Nothing to really blow me away, but good enough that I would have it again. I was bummed about the toppings plate though because it came with cilantro and lemons instead of basil and limes. Never seen that before. I really enjoy the flavor of the basil, so that was disappointing. People working there today were very nice, but it felt like they were understaffed and it was kind of chaotic trying to get a table for just myself and my young child. We stood among people waiting for pick up orders for a long time without being addressed. There was no clear queue, just several people waiting around the entrance. When I finally got someone's attention she was friendly and quickly got me a table and high chair.
