The pho broth is great. Fresh and taste like the best homemade stuff. Ingredient freshness is on point. Got the regular size Pho Tai (brisket). Perfect size! Friendly, relaxed and welcoming service. Def coming back to try other dishes.

Just placed an order for pickup and was provided some of the worst service I have ever received. I walked into the restaurant and it was not crowded at all and mentioned to the guy at the front that I was there for a pickup. He looked at me and just laughed and said in a stern voice, "go over there." As I proceeded, I was met by a lady who asked to look at my phone order. As I was showing her the order, she started to ask if I placed the order via GrubHub and as I showed her, she was hesitant to give me the order. I asked her why she was making it difficult for me and she yelled at me. Not the best experience and the food was just average in my opinion.

The cuisine and flavor is wholesome and the location fits perfectly for the aesthetic of this place. The pho is a great portion for their regular size. Definitely will come back here again. Thank you!

Food was delicious, though a bit overpriced. The atmosphere can benefit from a renovation for sure!

This place is great. I got take out on a Sunday morning. The wait was minimal. I got to order at the kiosk and it was super easy to order and customize the pho. The price is great for the portions and the quality of food. The veggies were fresh. The broth was delicious! I will definitely come back. Plenty of parking available. Sitting is available inside and outside.

Pho from PhoTasia on a rainy day completely hit the spot. The beef tenderloin with the garlic butter rice, the shumai and the crispy eggrolls were equally delicious. I want to say the food was the best experience at PhoTasia. The restaurant and the customer service were both fair. Nothing special, nothing above and beyond. There was definitely no service as we had to try and get the servers' attention multiple times during our visit here. I also think there might be language barriers but not a deal breaker. I would come back, specifically for the food.

We eat here weekly. Pho is always tasty, service is good and prices are fair. My personal favorite is the fried tofu which always includes plenty of bokchoy and broccoli. My husband really enjoys the rare steak.

I ordered a chicken pho. The broth was decent, my biggest complaint would be the texture of the chicken. It was chewy. It was pricey for the amount of food that was served. Service was great!

This place is a semi-frequent place for me and my family, and I feel like the noodles, while delicious, are lacking in terms of quantity. Sometimes I feel like I have to order an extra bowl just to get enough. The beef tends to vary, being either too chewy or too hard, rarely just right. It doesn't help that I have to ask the waiters for more herbs multiple times, even when I specify in my order to put less beef and more herbs. I have tried the shumai dumplings on occasion, but they are consistently so salty you don't need any soy sauce for them.

We would go back because we liked the vermicelli noodle dish. We got it with shrimp and pork with egg roll. The egg rolls were delicious...they didn't taste like old greasy oil. The shrimp was a little too salty, but other than that the dish was great and the food was great... Lots of fresh veggies. Decoration / setup was kinda cheesy with the menus underneath the glass, but at the same time that was convenient. It was busy when we got there, we weren't sure if we were supposed to order off of the QR code website or wait for the waitress because it took a while for them to see our table. Once we ordered, the food came quickly... I take this
