Great name! Especially if you pronounce Pho correctly
Lisa W.

I've heard a lot about this place and was happy to finally check it out after a long walk with a friend. We started with the fresh spring rolls, which were absolutely delicious. I loved how thin and tender the wrap was--not tough at all--and it was generously filled with vegetables, complemented by a very satisfying peanut sauce. We also shared the tofu curry with vegetables, which was quite tasty. I added some of the house-made chili oil, and it really kicked the flavors up a notch. The ambiance is lovely, with gorgeous photos lining the walls, and the manager/owner is very personable and welcoming. We didn't try the pho this time, but since it's said to be the star of the restaurant, I'll definitely be back to try it.

Vermicelli bowl

We picked this place to try because we were preparing ourselves for giving birth at Sutter hospital and wanted to see how the food in the area was in case we needed it. The day we first stopped in here was around one of the hospitals childbirth or baby prep classes and we were so glad we did. The location is easy to get to, and has lots of accessible parking that it shares with the shopping mall. We were one of two tables filled when we arrived, and the person helping us was friendly and speedy. I ordered the vermicelli bowl and he ordered the steak and brisket pho, and our food was out super fast. At the time, I was extremely pregnant and never sure how much I could eat or how I'd do with smells, but this was so good, I ate the entire bowl. Hubs enjoyed his phone as well, so we were both very happy with our meals. Prices seemed really on point for the quality, the flavors were bold, and the food was made really well. The only downside to our visit was getting out of the parking lot. It is always so frustrating trying to turn left out of this entire lot! Other than that, a really great experience that I would go to again if in the area.

Drove from Santa Rosa to try this place as a pho lover and half viet gal. We got the pork spring rolls, came with peanut sauce & nuoc mam dipping sauces. The pork was red roasted bbq, sweet and savory. For entrees, I got the beef pho with rare steak and brisket, my boyfriend got the garlic noodles with chicken. Both dishes had solid portions and were yummy at a decent price point.

Showed up as a party of three with a toddler at 5pm on a Sunday. Plenty of seating available. Waiter was friendly and just the right level of attentive. The food was good, standard Viet fare. The broth was rich and one of the better ones I have had in Sonoma. I also ordered the crispy tofu vermicelli and would not recommend the tofu. It was good but lacking in flavor. Could have used a bit more white pepper. Overall I would revisit. Food was as expected and not heavy on the salt.

Food and service is top tier. They have expanded since the last time we were here, so glad to see that they are keeping busy. Food is great, large portions like always & the vibe is nice and chill inside. A must try!

Beef Pho
Erin S.

Dang! Wow, what a gem! My partner ate absolutely every single drop of his beef combination Pho. The whole time he was eating it he kept looking up at me and saying this is very good. I'm not kidding. He did that like five times. We also got the egg rolls and they were very good. The owner was so nice and friendly. We can't wait to come back.

Rice Combo Plate
Marisa R.

Amazing service, delicious food and clean ambiance. Kong was a wonderful sever, our food was fresh and came out so quick! This was my first time trying this restaurant and it will now be a go to restaurant for me and my family. I can't express how fresh my food tasted. The chicken spring rolls were so fresh with pickled vegetables, cucumbers, rice noodles and lettuce. Lastly our limeades were delicious and refreshing. Can't wait to go back soon!

My pho had 3 pieces of meat, had an extremely thick layer of oil on the top and the broth had no flavor. Customer service also lacked.

Do they have any unethical "junk fees" on their bill?

No fees. Just add a tip for the service people.

This review is five stars…read more I would put it as 1,000 million gazillion stars if I could It's not about the food. I never ate there It's about the character. They preserved and returned a lost wallet and took no money out of it and kept it safely for days. That's character. That's what you do when no one's watching. I can only imagine their food is at least as good as their character. My wife took a phone call in front of their store after they were closed, and unbeknownst to her, her wallet fell out right there in front of the door. We had no idea. A few days later our dog has an emergency and she has to go to the vet to save its life, can't find her wallet. Tells me to look in her school bag she's a teacher. Not in there. For Christmas I bought everybody peace of mind by using my engineer minf to find the best deal on Android system compatible location devices. I bought a bunch of Pebble bee And one of those was in my wife's wallet. And it told us, once we realized her wallet was lost, using Google find me, it showed it sitting over where we went to the movies just days before. Yep, my wife was so clueless, she didn't realize her wallet was missing for days. That's what you get with pay with Google pay on phone these days. You never take your wallet out She went up there the next morning, after being up so so late with our almost dying dog, who thankfully pulled through after 3 days in the excellent emergency room at the vet by Costco in Santa Rosa And they gave it back. She bought a soda just to give them something. Even though they had just opened. And she wasn't hungry. They saved her ass.

I now understand what all the hype is about! I've heard about this place for years and I've never…read morehad the chance to go because I'm usually not in the area. Well today I was, so I had to check it out!!! I went around 11 so it wasn't super busy yet but they have a nice amount of indoor seating and outdoor tables too! I was greeted immediately by a very nice woman who took my order. I got the flamethrower sandwich exactly how it'd made. With chicken and on the Dutch crunch bread. Also got chips and a fountain drink. I think with everything it was about $18 with tip, which is a pretty good deal and compares to, or is cheaper than, other sandwich spots abound! I think i waited maybe 3 mins for my order it was quick! They also do DoorDash! My sandwich was absolutely amazing! No complaints! The bread was so good, nice big chunks of chicken and a good amount of lettuce and tomato. The sauce was good, not too spicy and it also had jalapeños!!! I do like spicy stuff but kind of a wimp if it's too spicy and the sandwich was just perfect! It had heat for sure, but wasn't too spicy. It's also a big sandwich, I couldn't even eat the whole thing! Overall I loved everything about this place and the food. I'll definitely be back. Such a hidden gem!! They have some cool, unique stuff on their menu as well so I can't wait to try it!!!!

The Vibe Walking in here is a trip. It's got that glorious,…read morequirky architectural DNA of a former fast-food joint, but instead of a sad burger, you're greeted with the kind of service that actually makes you feel like a human being. It's "drive-thru cool" meets "neighborhood gem." It's unpretentious, it's efficient, and it works. The Goods * The Pho: This isn't just soup; it's a spiritual experience. The broth is cleaner than a fresh audit and hits harder than a Monday morning deadline. * Banh Mi: The bread actually has that "shatter" factor. One bite and you're covered in crumbs like a happy disaster. It's the perfect ratio of crust, fluff, and savory kick. * Lemongrass Soup: If you need to wake up your senses, this is the lightning bolt. It's bright, herbaceous, and makes standard chicken noodle look like a nap. * Spring Rolls: Tight, fresh, and paired with a peanut sauce so good you'll want to take a pint of it home for later. The Bottom Line Forget the white tablecloths. If you want the real deal in Santa Rosa, you go to the place with the quirky layout and the elite kitchen. It's fast, it's fantastic, and it's got more character than a Russian novel.

I've been here before and the food is decent, though overpriced for what you get. This visit,…read morehowever, was a different experience entirely and one I feel other customers need to know about. We started with the BBQ pork spring rolls. The BBQ pork was shredded, which felt like a cost-cutting move on protein. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting for the price point. I was seated outside with my dog on a busy, loud street. I ordered a bánh mì sandwich by number. Our server came back mid-order to ask about rice or noodles, which I assumed was a clarifying question about my mom's vegetarian soup, as both dishes contained tofu. When the food arrived, I received lemongrass tofu and not what I ordered. I flagged it immediately. The server acknowledged the confusion but then returned to inform me that the owner, who was off-site and being reached by phone, was requiring me to pay for the wrong dish regardless. This is apparently their policy: if an order is made in error, the customer is still responsible for the cost. I asked to speak with the owner or an on-site manager. Both requests were denied. What I was told next genuinely shocked me: the server mentioned that the cost of the wrong dish would be split between the kitchen and serving staff. These employees were willing to cover a mistake out of their own pockets rather than push back on the owner. The server was visibly uncomfortable throughout the entire interaction. To be clear: the staff were kind and doing their best under what appeared to be a stressful and unfair working environment. This is a management issue, not a staff issue. If you dine here, confirm your order carefully, especially if seated outside where it's loud. And know that if the restaurant gets your order wrong, their policy may hold you responsible for it.
