"I ordered the Pho with rare beef & tendon. It was perfectly proportioned. The tendon was the highlight. The broth was delicious, light & flavorful. The owner was friendly, gracious & interested in my dining experience this evening. The place was clean, new comfy booths, lots of windows , good vibes all around I am so glad I don't need to drive a long distance to satisfy my cravings They also offer a lot of party trays for parties & gatherings"

"New owners have essentially kept the menu and concept of the prior operation intact - big portions, quality ingredients made with a skilled hand and fair prices - only now with a more welcoming and service-oriented approach. Choice of either wood or plastic chopsticks, both sealed in paper for your protection. Or plastic disposal utensils for the fork and spoon inclined. Recommend the off-menu pork chow mein paired with the tangy sweetened yogurt dessert. The pair for $16 for a limited time."

"We ordered pick up and it was ready in 10 mins. Super fast service. The special banh mi is delicious! Just make sure to take out the green peppers if you’re sensitive."
