Every table was full but no staff was at the front of the restaurant. People were coming in and getting in line to order food without a place to sit. They would get to the front of the line and be told to go back and wait for a table. Other people would stake out tables and swoop in to grab them. There was a server talking to customers but she was running food, resulting in chaos. We found our own seats and ordered food. By the time we began eating, the server had restored order and organized a line outside for tables. Hopefully the chaos was just a one off! I could tell why the restaurant was so busy though! The food was truly incredible. I've had a lot of pho and this was top notch. The broth was delicious and complex, the noodles plentiful, and the beef was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend! But maybe consider take out.

Most of the tables were taken but we were seated right away. We ordered the Edamame and House Smashed Cucumber. The Cucumber had the right amount of tanginess. The Cheng Du Spicy Wonton stood out.

We were tourists but it seemed a lot of locals were eating there too. We would definitely come again.

This allowed her to freely wander a bit and entertain herself leaning on the bench and playing. We tried several things and all were very good and fresh and fast out of the kitchen. Our server was efficient and friendly and running around like crazy - she probably had more than 10 tables from what we could see! We tried the cold Sake, Chicken Gyoza, Shrimp and Veggie Tempura, Chicken fried rice, and chicken noodles. Portions weren't huge, but were fair and enough to share with all the other items we got. Enjoyed our meal and would def. come back. Great location - close to everything downtown and easily walkable from Dupont and the Capital area.
