Small restaurants by the outlet in Auburn- definitely a mom and pops type restaurant…read more We came in and it was pretty busy with a few tables waiting to get orders taken. They only had 2 people working and tried to be as quick as they could. Food was delicious. Pho came out in a piping hot stone pot (more expensive than the regular pho) $23.99. Broth was flavorful and the short ribs was so tender it just fell off the bones. The combo rice dish had egg roll, egg, chicken, short rib and pork chop.

I thought I had written an original review which clearly I did not- originally this place was a 5…read morestar for me. Moving down south from Seattle, I wanted to find a pho spot that could be my go to and this was the spot for me. The food was great, service was top tier, very mom and pop shop but more modern and I loved it. I probably go here multiple times in a month, sometimes a couple of times in a week especially when it's cold and rainy. However, I went there a few times recently and I was sad at how the service has been lately. I'm not sure if there's new hires as I haven't seen the same girls that usually work there in a long time...the more recent waiters seemed to not know what was available on their drinks menu and did not offer to go and check, our table was met with dumbfounded looks and no follow up. On one of the days, I had ordered my usual order, and was left waiting while all the other tables who entered and ordered after me were served immediately. I had put in my order around 7:15p and did not receive my food until 7:52p. I was not checked on until I had to get up from my table and go check on my order, then it was like I was getting checked on too many times. When I had asked what happened, the waiter told me they forgot, I'm not sure who dropped the ball there. I had asked if I was going to get a discount or get comped, something, and all I was told was, "it's not my decision." The staff seemed more interested in catering to a table with a family, it seemed like they may have known them personally as a member from the table continuously got up to talk to the staff and even walked back into the kitchen multiple times, and grabbing his own to go boxes. As much as I love this place, I will not be returning.

I am from California and order this in usually from the Auburn area. Since i had more free time i…read moredecided to come in. Upon arrival on the rainy day i was offered water or warm tea and opted for both. Nothing better than that combo for me. Ordered my usual... Pho with rare steak, tripe, tendon and added meatballs. Broth is flavorful, as with anything you make it how you want after the initial taste and i only add limes and chili oil with the added basil. Nothing else. Fun fact: sriracha and hoisin are meant to be on the side to dip in, not poor into the broth. Also what makes me come back here is the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. The added crispy crunch on the inside makes these next level with the dark Romaine and just enough noodles to not overwhelm them like other places. A little added tunes whether traditional or not would be great. Or maybe the sound from the TVs playing food videos from around Vietnam would be cool. The silence was actually a could change up with the air conditioning and sound from the kitchen cooking. Great experience and glad i finally got to come in here!

There were a few people picking up at the time we entered, but nobody else dining in. When one of the servers came with our cold waters, we placed our food order right away with her. We got two orders of the Pork Patty Spring Rolls, a Kids Meatball Pho, a Combination Pho, a Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl and a Vietnamese Pancake. After about 5 minutes, we got the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. Every single time we order them, they taste so good!!! Hits the spot whenever we visit this restaurant. Probably our favorite dish, actually. After we devoured the Spring Rolls, our entrees came out - Combination Pho and the Kids Meatball Pho. Then a few minutes later, the Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl came out. I normally like to pour some Sriracha and Hoisin Sauce into my Noodle Bowl along with the sauce it originally comes with. Mixing everything in all of that makes it that much more flavorful for me! Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, the food and the service. The Pho broth seemed a little bland and not seasoned as well as before. Other than that, all of the other food items were tasty and to our liking. The restaurant itself has ample amount of space to sit at since there are plenty of seating and tables available. Parking outside is good, there are plenty of spaces to park at as well. There used to be a Big 5 Sporting Goods store, but since that's gone, parking hasn't been an issue at all. They have pretty decent Vietnamese food for reasonable prices and adequate portions.

The service is always good here they greet you and typically you can choose where to sit and they'll get your order as soon as possible. I love that they're very attentive as well they will check up on you after you get your food just in case if you need anything to be refilled or something else. Didn't see the regular servers but regardless such a great place to eat, especially by yourself too.

I've confirmed with the staff that they don't use msg because the soup tastes so good! I also didn't feel tired or super thirsty a few hours later so that's also a really good sign they didn't put msg or a lot of salt. Combination pho (5/5) Unbelievable taste, lots of flavor, soup came out piping hot and lots of fresh ingredients and meat. The noodle itself is also cooked perfectly. Vermicelli with pork and egg rolls (5/5) The pork is very tender and tastes delicious, the sauce that comes with it is not overly salty and you don't need to pour so much since the noodles and ingredients taste very flavorful already. The service here matches the amazing flavors. They are very attentive and always make sure we are happy the entire meal. The place looks very clean and well decorated. I would definitely want to come back and try everything on the menu!

The bun bo hue here is sooo good. I discovered this place last year since it was near our hotel,…read moreand I came back again during my recent trip over the weekend. My order here will forever be the bun bo hue. It's the best one I've had, and I've had a lot. The broth has so much depth to it, and the flavor is SO GOOD. I love that their bun bo hue has a lot of sate in it, and doesn't taste just like a clear broth that some restaurants serve. It even comes with the standard pork hock and pork blood, I know a lot of restaurants may omit that. I can't recommend it enough, it's a must try!! It is a little on the spicy side though if you're sensitive to it, but it was perfect for me. The service here is quick, although the restaurant itself is a bit small. I never had to wait for long though. I'll definitely be back during my annual Seattle trip!

I also really love their Black Milk Tea w/ Boba and their Shrimp Spring Rolls w/ spicey peanut sauce.

I stopped by to grab a drink in downtown Auburn…read more Its a very small shop. There is some street parking or you can parking in the lot across the street. The lady who worked there was very nice. I asked if any of the milk teas had any milk substitutes or lactose free. She said they did not have any substitutes. So I elected to try their fresh teas instead. I asked for a recommendation. She mentioned a few options and I decided to try their passion fruit tea with passion fruit topping. When I got the drink. I took a sip of it and the sweetness from the sugar was so overpowering i wanted to spit it out. I wish they had the option for 50% sweetness. I also shook the cup prior to mix it and it was still, that sweet... Also, it had a strange medicine like after taste. Im not sure if its from the passion fruit tea, or the topping, but it was not appealing and ive had many passion fruit teas at other places that did not taste like this. I can only speak for the fresh, passion fruit tea, but it was pretty awful, overlt sweet with a strange aftertaste. They do not have any milk substitutes, so if you want a milk tea drink, and youre lactose intolerant, you're out of luck.

Really disappointing experience overall…read more Tables were dirty. The interior and exterior of the place represent the food and customer experience... lacking, needs improvement, needs more depth. The pho was very disappointing. The broth was bland, watered down, and slightly sweet with no depth of flavor. Service from the man with the micro ponytail was poor and very impatient. When we asked about the rice combo dish, we were told that several items shown on the menu and in the photos are no longer available because "white customers don't like it," which was surprising for a Vietnamese restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go next door to Lang Viet by Fred Meyer. It is less than a one minute drive.

It's a mother daughter shop so you will see only 2-3 people's helping. The only weird thing for me is you will have to order and pay first, definitely different than other restaurants. But they probably have their reasons for doing that. The daughter who I assume is the owner is really sweet. The place is always clean. I do recommend everyone to come and try.

After about 10 mins, our server came with the Spring Rolls and Bubble Tea. Then a few mins later, the Pho Soup was brought out. We were looking forward to a good meal to satisfy our craving after such a disappointing experience at a Dim Sum place in Auburn earlier. Enjoyed the Spring Rolls and the Combination Pho very much! Devoured them to feel satisfied after such a letdown at the previous spot we tried eating at since the quality of food was bad, we couldn't even finish.... Anyway, enjoyed our food here!

We went last night for dinner at 9 pm and had to wait but were seated quickly. Our wait for water and to give our order took a bit longer than expected. When we sat down at our table both of our empty water goblets were visibly dirty and streaked, as were the plates kept on the table. We cleaned them ourselves and didn't ask for replacements. Our server was curt and rude but only to us, as we could often see her smiling and joking with her other tables around us. We couldn't help but notice that we were a different race than everyone else. After our food was dropped we realized we didn't have silverware. I sat waiting to be checked on but it didn't happen, so I had to take a set from a nearby reset table. Our water carafe was never refilled when it became empty. We were never offered drinks or refills of those drinks. We were checked on once very late in the meal, but just "is it ok" without actually stopping to listen or make eye contact. When I was just over halfway done with my food, our server came to the table and set our check booklet down with much more force than necessary. I had never seen this woman before in my life, why would she be so short with us? When looking at the menu earlier we had seen a dessert we wanted to try, so I had to ask our server not to give us our check without the option of dessert. She was not apologetic about it. She said "So you want a menu?" and I said no, we wanted the Ube 3 Ways. Her treatment to us was so unnecessary that it made me sad for the rest of the night, when I should have had a great time at the casino resort.
