I have never walked out NOT enjoying my meal here. It can be packed and busy at times, and at times relaxed and chill. I like the decor overall and the prices. This is a place I'll often bring the entire my and the bill it's always reasonable. The food is delicious.

Good price. Good food. Decent service. Clean environment & bathroom. Parking is always a pain, but if they weren't good, they wouldn't be busy. Get it to go & it won't be an issue. Call in orders are processed in a timely manner. Make sure you get that extra peanut sauce for the spring rolls!

The food was solid. I wish places like this would have menus with pictures. The menu has a lot of items with very little description. As an ignorant american, I feel like I'm rolling the dice when I order. I did try the egg coffee and it was great.

The food is amazing, I’m such a fan of Pho and this is the perfect place to enjoy it! Waitresses were kind and knowledgeable the only few things is that the mango shake/smoothie tasted more like Papaya instead of Mango and the Egg rolls we felt them way too small. But besides that, we loved the decoration and the great food along with the great service!

The food is great! However, the service made me feel uncomfortable. I asked for a sauce on the side and the waitress never came back. So I asked another waiter and he made me feel like I was an inconvenience for asking. He said it was going to be an additional $1 for it (which was fine). But on the receipt, they had charged me more. I wish they would’ve told me about the change in price.

This place is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is so beautiful, like you're stepping into a 5 star place! It really took me back with how lovely it was inside despite its location. The service was so fast from when we order to when the food got to us. It was just two of us with pho so I don't know about the other times for the other food. I think the food portions are great for the prices!

I don't have much to say about this restaurant, the food in general is good but it's not really Vietnamese food, maybe it's a style of the restaurant, I don't know, I would like to comment something more about the restaurant but it was something quite fast, I think if you really want to eat Vietnamese food I would try somewhere else first, I do not comment about the price because in general Vietnamese food is cheap everywhere
