    Sit down anywhere that's open. Menus everywhere, just grab one. Service is fast one you decide want you want. They have an area with ready to go boba and sodas. Food was really good. Hidden gem for sure. Plenty of tables and they're spaced out enough that you can enjoy conversation and not have to hear other tables.

    Grateful for my friends telling me about this place. It's a True hole in the wall that was worth the drive! I've been craving for my mom's cooking, specifically ca kho and canh chua. OMG they had it at this restaurant, and it was so good. They have many traditional dishes that my mom made for us in the past, so we'll have to come back. Service was great! The only thing that we wouldn't get here again are the desserts which were incredibly sweet.

    I got a to go order! The place is nice and casual inside. The cashier was friendly and the service was fast! I really like that they had vegan options! I ordered a banh mi and spring rolls and they were both delicious!

    I've eaten at What The Pho many times and the food is always delicious. This Vietnamese eatery, though it boasts a quite wide-ranging menu, is a favorite because of its fresh and flavorful food, in addition to its fresh fruit juices. The food's freshness and outstanding deliciousness are consistent. There's something for everyone to enjoy, whether it's a hearty bowl of pho, a classic banh mi (BOGO deals, anyone?), or a comforting plate of rice or noodles. The extraordinarily generous portions offer exquisitely balanced flavors. The quick as well as efficient service makes it a great spot for a casual meal. For an outstanding dining experience, try What The Pho, you won't be disappointed!

    I love "What the Pho" off Parker road. They always take care of me and get my order correct. The young ladies and man up front are very sweet and a joy to talk too. They're so nice and know me by name. They take good care of us in making our orders phenomenal and delicious. I was feeling under the weather plus it's getting cold here in north Texas so, I decided to pick up my health and feel better with some heart warming pho. Go get this on a cold day-you will not regret and you will feel much better after this hit of delicious comfort food. I got the chicken pho ga and it was yummy to my tummy. I am feeling better now. Don't delay and go warm up your soul and enjoy some hot, delicious pho on a cold day. Oh yeah-I miss the Christmas decorations-so I posted them too.

    The decoration is very nice and the whole restaurant is clean and organized. The food is very but very good and the flavors are top notch! Definitely recommend this place for family, couples or any single person that would like to enjoy great Vietnamese food. Polite service

    I never knew this establishment existed and I see why, bc it's located in the very back of the strip mall next to CVS and Jack In The Box. It's so easy to overlook for sure. First of all, I have to say that this Vietnamese restaurant is nothing like I've been to before. The menu is extensive(see pictures)and some dishes are very unique and very appealing. I've decided on spicy shrimp cakes(delicious), curry rice noodles soup with shrimp(very tasty)and Vietnamese ice coffee with ice cream and whip cream(so good). PB ordered summer rolls with shrimp(grilled shrimp), beef pho and he really liked the spicy shrimp cakes, he finished them for me. He also ordered lemonade(refreshing)and chocolate chip cookie. Our server was great. He didn't even write down our order and he got them right! Inside the restaurant was very spacious and airy. They sell Vietnamese rice puddings in different flavors(I've had them before in Hawaii. They're delicious). They also sell their own fish sauce which I had to purchase one. They have all sorts of cookies and shrimp chips(I love them)for sale. This restaurant will be our new "go to" Vietnamese restaurant from now on as we've been looking for one since one by our place has changed hands. I highly recommend it. We felt like we were eating home cooked meals at someone's house.

    Great food! The best pho in Plano. Great service and prices too. Always clean and staff is very friendly.

    Pho menu.. just a page. They've actually got a large, incredibly delicious sounding menu.

    Clean, modern look and feel. Staff was welcoming although they did t check on me once I was served which I found a little odd. Maybe it was because I was here kinda late, around 8. They were nice enough though. The menu is extensive and they have several vegan options. I got the pho and it had interesting vegetables which made for a pretty presentation and a good soup. I did have to let it cool down before I could really eat it cause it was nuclear hot. I'd definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

    Holy wow! This place is so good! I had the veggie tofu pho (No.39) and the Vietnamese coffee (No.106) and hubby had the BOGO bahn mi ( fried egg and beef) both were PERFECT! The bread is hot and crispy. Definitely homemade. We will be telling our friends and family...also we loved the decor and lighting. Great grab n go area too

    The restaurant set up is nice and open, and you can seat yourself when you walk in. They are short staff so service is kind of slow, but the staff does try to keep up. Their pho is pretty good, but my actual favorite dish from this restaurant is the banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake). The batter is really good and crunchy. They offer different combos of dishes and drinks for a decent price, around $16-18. Worth checking out if you're in the east Plano area!

    I really enjoyed the American cuisine here--great food and a nice atmosphere overall…read more I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben eggrolls. The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.

    So many employees lots people. All walking by us but took a while for a waiter . And they had just…read moreopened, not very many people. I had the steak frites. The steak was cooked perfectly has potential to be amazing just needs spices desperately needs some spices . The French fries they covered with paprika but the steak nothing Husband had the French dip , he loved it . He loved the bread said he was able to eat it without having to tear it with his teeth , some hoagies are tough , this wasn't just nice and soft . The meat was tender, not fatty and but held together such as you could dip it without having a giant mass of meat inside the sauce, it was actually in the sandwich you could dip it, eat it, but it was soft enough that you could eat it. Was loud inside and cold. Our waiter was so nice , up until he walked up my husband wanted to leave . Cause people that came in after us were being offered water and no one had said anything to us . I am gluten free, there wasn't much attention given to my food allergy. But I can manage and know how to protect myself. The waiter wrote down my food allergy but didn't seem to pay it any mind
