I believe we were the only table dining in, honestly. The woman who took our order came across as cold and unwelcoming. The whole time was super awkward and cringey. The lack of friendliness or hospitality made us feel uncomfortable the entire time. We felt rushed when ordering and half the time she was blunt in answering any questions we had. As for the food, the bun bo hue really hit the spot. Nice savory broth and perfect amount of spice. My only issue was the meat, there were a few pieces that were chewy and difficult to eat. They also charge extra for literally anything (even the bean sprouts that are often FREE) it felt like she was making up prices on the spot. 25 cents each for to-go containers and straws??? really? The food was good, but I did not expect to feel uncomfortable during dinner. The service overshadowed my time here at Pho Cafe and I don't see myself returning.

We were in pacific for the dog surfing contest. We originally planned to eat somewhere else but…read morethought it would be too crazy. We came here instead. Small restaurant located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking. Inside the fresh and clean. Their menu is very extensive even with a kid's menu. They gave us a pair of scissors - loved it! Imperial Rolls - this was just okay. Our daughter who is picky did eat a couple pieces. Soup with egg noodles - Our daughter loved it. Eat half the noodles and drank half the soup. Seafood pho - I have been craving this. This was pretty good and there was so much toppings. I am not a big eater and finished my large size. My husband got the bun with grilled beef and imperial rolls - He loved his. One unisex restroom. We had a great experience and were very happy. Price point was good too.

3.5 stars Totally different from last time. Prices are…read morereasonable, and portion sizes are generous, but the taste was a bit hit or miss. We ordered the combo pho, ground pork rice rolls, grilled pork spring rolls, and shrimp papaya salad. The fish sauce was slightly salty, and the grilled pork was extremely salty, we actually preferred eating some of the dishes without the fish sauce. Otherwise, the remaining dishes were good. Customer service was great, but the table was quite sticky, which affected the overall dining experience. The ambience was casual and busy, but felt a bit unkempt during our visit.

I was so surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet, because hands down, this is my favorite hot…read morepot place. An AYCE Hot Pot / Grill spot. I personally like to come here more for the hot pot option. FOOD: 9/10 An ample amount of options to choose from, including appetizers, drinks, meats, vegetables, seafood, noodles, and more. My go-to orders are always the tomato-based soup, brisket, Chinese donut, and homemade biang biang noodles, which, in my opinion, are a MUST! For dessert, no matter how full I am, I always gotta go for the fried buns with condensed milk. Their Thai Tea is also creamy and good! I love how they don't skimp on the milk. The sauce bar is great and has a lot of toppings and sauces to create your own hot pot dipping sauce concoction. My go-to is ponzu, sesame paste, hella garlic, chili oil, hella cilantro, and green onions. You already know. They serve a complimentary scoop of ice cream! They normally have 2-3 flavors to choose from. I always go for the green tea for the most part. SERVICE: 8/10 Staff is always quick, efficient, attentive, and nice! AMBIANCE: 9/10 Indoor and outdoor seating are available. I love how they have good-sized tables inside whether you're dining solo, with a small group, or with a big party. I also love that they still have their COVID shields. Why? I don't know. A little extra sanitary measure wouldn't hurt anyone, so why not? If you sit outside, they also have outdoor heaters, which is always a plus.

We went to Top Pot on a whim for dinner, and since we didn't have a reservation, we arrived a bit…read moreearlier to try to avoid the crowds. It was about 6pm on a Saturday and we luckily got seated, but larger parties started coming in within the hour. - PARKING - Lots of spots around the plaza area! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - You can sit outside or inside, but since it was a little windy that night, we opted to sit inside. They put us in the middle between two parties but we didn't mind. The tables have screens that help with the airflow of the stoves. You mark down everything you want on the menu paper, and then give it to the staff. Once they get your order in, they'll wipe off the menu paper and you can continue to order that way. - FOOD - We all got the half BBQ, half hot pot option. It's definitely a unique experience that you can't find everywhere, so I'm glad we got to try it! I got the mild spicy of the signature soup, but I think if I were to ever come back I'd probably get something without spice as it got to be a bit much with the veggies! The meat quality is pretty decent here as well, and I liked the variety of sides you can get here. - OVERALL - A solid spot with a unique dining experience if you get the half and half option!

I visited Grand Hot Pot with my family on a Friday evening around 6 PM and was pleasantly surprised…read moreto be seated right away--though within minutes, a line began to form, and the restaurant quickly filled to capacity. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. The quality of the meats stood out, especially the ribeye, which was flavorful and well-marbled. One of my favorite touches was the self-serve drink fridge in the back, offering a wide, unlimited selection that adds to the overall experience. The broth was rich and satisfying, complementing the ingredients nicely. The atmosphere strikes a great balance--casual and welcoming, with the feel of a classic Chinese hot pot restaurant. It's an easygoing spot that still delivers on quality, making it perfect for a laid-back dinner with family or friends.

Definitely worth the price, especially when you're with a good group of people. The meat quality wasn't the best, but there were plenty of options and I really liked the sauce bar. I also appreciated how many appetizers you could order. The honey walnut prawns were easily a 10/10. The self-serve drink fridge was a nice touch too, with sodas, juices, milk teas, and other options. The private karaoke room made it such a fun spot for a birthday. Parking was easy since it's located in a plaza. It gets pretty packed, especially later in the evening since they're open until midnight. Overall, I'd come back more for the fun group experience than the food itself.

I've dined in here twice, and this time I ordered takeout. I usually come here on weekdays, and…read moreit's pretty easy to find parking. This time I came on the weekend, and wow, parking was a completely different story! They do have shared parking in front of the restaurant, but it's shared with the laundromat, so the lot was fully packed. A few cars were even parked along the red line and outside the bus stop, which honestly looked pretty scary. I couldn't find any street parking either. I ended up calling the restaurant to let them know I was there for pickup. The staff kindly asked me to park along the side of their driveway, so I could go inside and pick up my food. Thank you so much for that--I really appreciate it! As for the food, it's definitely tasty, and the portions are a pretty good size. Parking can be challenging on weekends, but the food and friendly service keep me coming back! :)

$22.75 w.tax AYCE Sunday Buffet. If you're coming here for the food, you're in the right place. If…read moreyou're looking for polished decor, fancy furnishings, or a place to dress to impress... this probably isn't that place. The space has a very lived-in, old-school feel, with furnishings that are more functional than fashionable. And the loo? There's only one, and it's akin to the restaurant. My rating is about the food and flavors, and there were some seriously delicious things coming out of that kitchen! The Hits Pork Tocino -- Sweet cured pork slices marinated with sugar and garlic. Bright red, tender, flavorful, and fantastic. I went back for several rounds of this. Pork Belly Lechon -- Mouthwatering. For anyone unfamiliar, this is pork belly rolled into a log and roasted until the skin becomes shatteringly crisp and bubbly while the meat stays incredibly tender and juicy. The is seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and aromatic herbs. The crackling skin was the real prize. It was at its best right when a fresh plate came out of the kitchen. But you had to be fast because, people swarmed the platter and grabbed every crispy piece they could. But SOOO good. I had to be physically restrained from going back for more. Beef Tapa -- Thinly sliced, marinated beef that's savory, slightly sweet, and tangy. Fantastic. Another dish I went back for multiple times. Ginataang Sitaw Kalabasa-- Creamy, savory, and slightly sweet from the squash. The coconut milk-based sauce was velvety and coated the tender chunks of pumpkin squash and green beans beautifully. The squash was bright orange, soft and almost melting in texture. There were also tiny shrimp in the dish, mostly there to add flavor rather than substance. Very good. Garlic & Steamed Rice -- Delicious. Exactly what you want alongside all the above. Mixed Fruit -- Pineapple, grapes, cantaloupe, and watermelon. Everything was ripe, juicy, and sweet. Maximum fruit flavor achieved. The Middle Ground Lumpia Shanghai -- The filling was fine, but the lumpia was more doughy and wasn't particularly crunchy. I tried it once and moved on. Pancit -- Filipino stir-fried noodles with vegetables and shrimp. The batch I had tasted strangely fishy, so I didn't go back for another serving. That said, my dining partner really enjoyed it, so this may have been a batch-specific thing. Not For Me Scrambled Eggs -- I passed on these altogether. These just didn't have an appetizing appearance. Parmesan Cheese Baked Fish -- Not something I wanted to finish. Buttered Garlic Shrimp -- The heads and shells are still on, so you're peeling your own shrimp. I'm perfectly fine with that, but the meat had a softer texture that struck me as more farm-raised, and it just didn't jive with me. One and done. Bottom Line Would I come here expecting an upscale dining experience? Absolutely not. Would I come back for pork tocino, lechon, beef tapa, ginataang sitaw kalabasa, rice, and those ridiculously sweet fruits? Absolutely. For $20 AYCE, there was enough genuinely delicious food here to make the experience worthwhile. And what a great value!!! We arrived at 9 and it was half full. No problem getting our table or food. As for the appearance, don't judge a book by it's cover. If you're a person who cares more about flavor than furnishings, there's plenty here to get excited about.

And when they brought it to me, no apology and they didn't garnish which, maybe to some people isn't important, but it does make you feel like they care. I'm sad, what happened to them. They used to be so good. I wish they cared a little more about their customers. While there, 3 people had placed a catering order (like plenty of notice to get it ready) and they all had to wait an extra 15-30 min. because they "messed up and have to make it again". Again, no apologies to them. So frustrating
