Their digital menu via QR code is convenient and I like that you can open separate tabs if you're here with friends. Basically an easier way to pay separately. Ordering was easy too! Portion: 5 The portions are huge. Even though the bowls aren't as big as typical Vietnamese restaurants, but it is plenty of food. The summer rolls are the typical size but not over stuffed with noodles which I really appreciate. Their spring roll order came with 4 spring rolls but only one piece of lettuce, 2 pieces of cucumbers, and very little mint. It's definitely not enough to wrap all 4 spring rolls. My pho, with added bok choy, had an abundance of bok choy and the beef and brisket slices were hidden under the noodles. Flavors: 5 The soup is more delicate than typical pho broth, but I appreciate that it's not as sweet and some other restaurants make it. The last time I ate here, the broth was hotter than today, but their chili pepper sure made up for the lack of heat. It was so spicy! So good! The Pho Spot has been my go to pho place but now that it's taken over, I'm glad to see that the menu has expanded and the pho is still good. I do really miss the tripe though. They don't have that on the menu anymore.

I want to start off talking about a past experience and then talk about a recent experience…read more I have come to The Pho House before. They had made a name for themselves in my kind of feed by being a halal pho place. The issue in the past was that the menu wasn't fully halal so you had to think a bit harder about what is halal and what is not. Service was slower and I didn't really want to come back again. Food was fine but I did need to spice it up with sauces Now on to my recent experience. I was meeting some people that wanted to come here and I just wanted to be out so I said why not? Little did I know, that they actually changed management in the past year. I did notice that they have gone toward a full halal menu which is actually really nice to see. I ordered a spiced pho bowl and I did not need to add anything. It was the right amount of spice that I like which I havent seen from other pho shops. Service was very speedy. I can not remember how they did ordering before but you get a QR code on the table to scan. The code has a menu and you add items to a cart for the table and it comes on your bill together at the end. But ordering in the site has it come out minutes later or something else surprisingly fast. It has improved and I look forward to bringing others here

Drinks are not included in the buffet, but you can order them separately. I'm vegetarian, so I'm only sharing my thoughts on the vegetarian dishes I actually tried. I was happy to see unlimited pani puri! I enjoyed it, but I really wish they had spicy pani too. I love my pani puri with a good spicy kick, so that was definitely missing for me. For appetizers, I really liked the pav bhaji. It was flavorful and one of my favorites. I also tried the ragda pattice. The pattice was a little spicy and slightly dry for my taste, so I enjoyed the pav bhaji more. They had a pretty big salad and condiment section with pasta salad, cold mac and cheese, cucumber, onion, carrots, lettuce, and quite a few other options. There were actually a lot of sides and condiments to choose from. For the main course, I noticed they had more non-veg dishes than vegetarian ones. I didn't try any of the non-veg food, so I can't comment on the taste, but there were definitely more options on that side. From the vegetarian mains, the Gobi Manchurian was good, although I wish it had a little gravy. The Chinese fried rice was good and went well with it. Paneer makhni was decent, mushroom matar was okay for me, and I also liked the Greek-style green moong. Coming to dessert, the moong dal halwa was easily my favorite. It was rich, subtly sweet, and just perfect for my taste. I really loved it! The kheer was good too, just a little sweeter than I personally prefer. The fruit custard had a green color to it, but it was pretty mild and didn't have much flavor for me. They also had cantaloupe. The place itself has a nice, comfortable vibe. We were a big group and still felt comfortable sitting, eating, chatting, and enjoying our time together. Service was good too. The staff was attentive and kept clearing our used plates as soon as we were done, which I really appreciated at a buffet. Overall, we had a good experience and I'd give it 4 stars. For around $25 per person, there's a good amount to try. I would just love to see a few more vegetarian main-course options. For me, the pav bhaji and moong dal halwa were the highlights -- and unlimited pani puri is always a plus!

The ma la dry hotpot was just so-so - had better flavor, this was just spicy. The shredded potato was so-so, not much favor compared to the Hot Fish version and not really sour or spicy of note. The 1/4 salt baked chicken was quite good, though. Sizzling Jelly in stone pot was not bad, either, a good balance. I also liked the peppery chicken wings. Mix of good and ok, and the crowd was waiting for seating, so it does get busy. Service was basically absent but I'm not surprised with how busy it was.

We (mostly) lived all the food so I would definitely recommend coming here. We ordered - Drums of Hell - very nice, we were expecting Chicken Lollipops but these come in a thick gravy - not what we expected but tasted great. Lotus Root in Honey Garlic - a bit too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't order this dish again Gobhi Manchurian - this is a classic Indian-Chinese dish and they do it to perfection! Chili Chicken Hakka Style - our waiter recommended this to us out of the various chicken dishes they have on the menu and it was a winner! Shredded Lamb in Ginger with Spring Onions - an amazing flavor profile - spicy, gingery and garlicky perfection! Loved this! Chicken Fried Rice - a must have accompaniment to the food. Hakka Noodles - I'm not a big fan of noodles but this was really good! The manager Heldrin was very helpful and the waiters were super attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a good appetizer to start off the meal. While it does not have anything unique about it, it is exactly what you would expect from a gobi manchurian. - burnt garlic fried rice (6/10): vegetable fried rice with hints of garlic. I was not a huge fan of this one because I could not taste enough flavor to distinguish it from the other type of rice. When paired with an entree it provides a nice base. - Szechuan fried rice (8/10): vegetable fried rice with garlic and schezuan peppercorns. I liked this one better because the schezuan peppercorns added a floral heat. It also works well with most of the entrees, though if you are sensitive to spice then be careful. - vegetable manchurian (6/10): deep fried vegetable coins in a sweet and sour gravy. This one was just okay. The vegetable coins were still crispy which I liked. I wanted more flavor in the gravy. - mapo tofu (8/10): silken tofu in a spicy sauce with peas and carrots. This is the first time I have seen vegetables in a mapo tofu and I appreciated it. It was not overly spicy or salty and paired well with the fried rice. WOULD I GO BACK? Perhaps. It is a very family friendly place and good for larger groups but none of the food really stood out to me.

The banana pudding matcha latte was very good, the banana aspect didn't taste like artificial banana syrup. We've been to places where it literally tasted like a Banana Runtz Candy. I would recommend this place.

Depending on how big your party is, you can order a combo for 2,3,4+ people, and the portion is generous! You can then pick how many toppings you want in your broth, and what sides you want. There are 3 broths to choose from, with 2 spicy, and 1 tomato (non spicy). The toppings can include vegetables like bok choy or enoki, all the way to glass noodles and spam. My favorite sides are the fried pork belly, and fried chicken wings. They do their fried foods well, and the 5 spice dipping powder is sooo good with it. Their cucumber salad, and the black noodles are cold dishes that are light and refreshing. The noodles are a bit on the sour side, so it's great to pair if you get a spicier or oilier soup. You can also pick from fish, beef or a combo. I'm from a seafood family, but surprisingly we pick beef most times. It's soo tender and it soaks up the flavors very well. It's worth a visit! You should definitely come try :)

We decided on the small pot with beef and 2 sides special. For a combo that fed 2 people with leftovers to spare it was a good deal. The small pot is quite large. We got to choose some premium ingredients such as king oyster mushrooms and wide starch noodles. The deal came with a choice of 2 sides so we got fried pork belly and takoyaki. Both arrived pretty fresh and piping hot, not stale. The main course of the small pot we chose with mild spicy flavor. It had a good numbing spicy kick though it a hint of the greasy taste that turns me off a little bit with these types of dishes. It wasn't overwhelmingly greasy, thankfully. There was a generous amount of beef and mushrooms as well as noodles. Overall a great meal at a good price.
