I have eaten a LOT of Vietnamese food and this is hands-down one of the BEST. I was visiting Tyler…read moreand we wanted something lighter than fast food so my daughter says she would like phô, so I did search and this was close. Despite having a lower rating than the other results, we tried this one and it blew us away. The egg rolls were light and crispy and hot - I wanted 10 more. My grilled pork vermicelli bowl was exquisite with a perfect grill on the pork and nice balance of vermicelli, salad, and pickled carrots/cucumber. My wife had the egg roll vermicelli and she was not disappointed. My daughter ordered the no meat phô but the waitress misunderstood me and brought the all meat one instead, but I was not complaining because I ate what my daughter couldn't finish (which I knew would happen ) and I was one happy papa! The restaurant was clean and the service was on point. I knew when I walked in that it was going to be great because Vietnamese were dining in - always a great indicator. If you love Vietnamese cuisine, check this place out! And if I'm in town, you'll probably see me there.

Super cute indoor decor!

Not bad Chicken pancit was very good and my wife gets it without the veggies and I think it would be even better with it. Lumpia meal was very good got the chicken and beef and I was a big fan of both but we got some beef for the road so that tells you whatcha need to know. Will come back again when we are hungry for some pancit and lumpia.

We got a bbq chicken skewer, lumpia meal and chicken pancit. All was good. Garlic rice is good. Nothing to writer home about but complemented the food well. Nothing wrong with the bbq chicken skewer. Pancit was really good but my wife gets it with no veggies. Lumpia was great. Liked the dynamite but loved the beef ones more. Getting some lumpia to go home with. Will eat again.

It felt elegant but still welcoming and comfortable. The food was amazing across the board. There was a small mix-up with one of the dishes, but with a large party those things happen, and the staff handled it well. Our waitress was sweet, attentive, quick, and made the experience even better. Would definitely return next time we're in town.

They have a few dining options to choose from including the bar/lounge area, in-door dining and outdoor patio areas. We started in the bar/lounge area while waiting for a seat outdoors so we could enjoy the weather and live music. Our server was very nice and honest- even when he hadn't tried a dish he told us how others rated it. We shared the SEARED AHI TUNA appetizer and added an additional side of bread 8/10 (it honestly should come with more!) Each ordered the THAI GINGER COCONUT SALMON which I am still thinking about! 10/10 The portions were generous and I saved 1/2 to make room for dessert. I was glad to enjoy leftovers the next day. We finished with the DULCE DE LECHE CHURROS which were highly recommended by our server and did not disappoint in presentation nor taste. 10/10

However, when I received my drink it seemed that I got a half scoop of toppings for boba and lychee jelly rather than one scoop of both. I tried to let the staff know about my concerns, but the Vietnamese owner (older woman) is so stingy and cheap. She told me that I did receive a whole scoop of each which is BS. I saw other orders that got more toppings than me, but she told me that I had to pay for more toppings if I wanted more. Honestly disgusting behavior. I cannot believe how frivolous and ungenerous this place is.

The owner…read morewas really nice and spoke when I first walked which I was glad of as he was eating lunch in the front. The younger guy who was at the cash register with the iPod in his ear also had a big bowl of pho. I just don't underhand if you on duty why have the kid in your ear first of all then have you lunch right in front of customers? And wonder why customer's orders are always wrong. The selection is minimal and many products have pork in them which I do not eat. So I had to just go with the brisket and steak pho which I was hoping I would see fatty brisket as an option. But there was no option for it. The pho was not flavorful at all and I didn't even have the side of Sriracha that usually comes with the pho to go. When I'm back in town I will have to find another pho place to visit as this one missed the mark for me.

My daughter had mentioned she heard this place had great pho so we looked it up and they happen to be open. It was good timing as the owner was about to go on a six week vacation to Vietnam. It's located inside the mini mall and you can't see any signage from the street but just walk into the area that says Rose's and you will find a store that reminds me aldi touch between a dollar store Ollie's. Just to the right inside the door you will find T's Sandwiches. No frills place here that is very clean but simple. This is certainly not the place for fast food, indeed many people called in and came by about 15 minutes later, only to still wait a few minutes. But nobody complained and it seemed like a normal part of the process. And everyone we saw come through we could tell were repeat customers who wished him well on his trip. Aptly named, the place really does some great American style sandwiches. My wife got the club and it was just fantastic, fries that came with it were amazing according to my college teenager who waited for my wife to finish and then devoured the rest of them. I asked the guy what the best order was and he said the soup (pho). My two girls and between us got the meatball, beef, and chicken soups. I thought the flavor was fantastic. This particular style has the grill flavor in it as he is cooking the meats on the grill and then infusing that into he soup for a wonderful, soulful flavor that I haven't had anywhere else and would also recommend for others. We also got the fried egg rolls and shrimp spring rolls, both of which were good. Slight word of warning as when he's cooking you can see smoke coming through the air and out to the open mall area so just be aware if you have allergies. The trick is certainly to put an order in and pick it up as he makes each order as it comes in and at times people waited for ten minutes just before he was able to get around and assist them...but again not one complaint! If you are in town and want a pleasant surprise just a few blocks off campus, meet up here. All that food, with bottled drinks added, came out to $60 which I thought was a great deal! This place would be worth a diversionary trip if you are in the area.

My wife and I liked the beef pho, and my daughter prefers the chicken pho. She says the chicken is tender & tasty with no fat. She also likes the spicy chicken fried rice, which is not actually spicy at all, but has a good flavor.
