I was skeptical to try to this place because it looks too modern. Sounds silly, but I usually like hole-in-the-wall places for "foreign" food because I have found that those places tend to have more authentic dishes. However, I have been to so many pho places around here and I can say that this one has a very tasty pho. The broth was very flavorful (the last place I tried had ok/good pho but I mentioned in my review that the broth there was lacking some in flavor). Also, I like tripe as a meat topping (which isn't as popular around here) and I don't always find the right meat combos that I like on other pho restaurant menus and the combo with all meats has some meats that I don't prefer. I like that here they have a two-item meat option and I can pick the two meats I really want. There is also a meatless and a vegan option with vegetable broth.Would definitely go back to try other menu items!

We decided to eat here while we were waiting for our car to charge. We ordered the sea food pho and the 2 topping pho (rare steak and brisket).Service was friendly. Atmosphere was casual. They cater to both dine in and to go orders.The table and chairs we were sat at were a bit dirty. The sriracha bottle was sticky outside and the lid was full of hard crusties. It grossed me out. I don’t know how often they wipe them down between customers.Parking: Tesla superchargers

Had a little glitch with our food, but once corrected, the flavor was very good and the ingredients are fresh. The service and friendliness were very good as well. They were prompt and took care of the glitch we had.Vegetarian options: There are many options for vegetarians in addition to just leaving near our if other dishes.Parking: Open parking lot, free.

Pretty good pho Great Vietnamese wings. The service is horrible. The girl on worked constantly. The guy spent more vaping and talking. He walked by dirty tables. Never cleared my bowl or plates. When I asked him for sugar he handed me one Truvia. The girl had to come up and get me sugar out of a cannister marked sugar. He was such a slob. He walked back to kitchen several times, made eye contact with me and never cleared my plate, asked if I needed anything. I have been sitting here since 1:05 and he never checked with me. I continue to wait. It has been 15 minutes and he stayed in the back talking to the girl about an older customary who lost something. There were two other diners and I sit.

This spot replaced a previous Vietnamese restaurant with improved flavor. Came on a Thursday night around 7 and almost every table was full inside! We opted to sit outside. Even though we sat outside, the servers were extremely attentive and came to check on us several times. We got the combo pho, vermicelli bowls, and the shaken beef with red rice. I tried a bit of everything and was pleasantly surprised. Pho had great flavor and had lots of meat. The charbroiled pork on the vermicelli bowl has lots of flavor. The shaken beef was extremely tender. Food was piping hot. The accompanying fish sauce for the vermicelli bowls did taste a little watered down for some reason. Overall, still really good though. Hoping to come back during the day so I can try out the Bitter Days drink or the viet coffee.

Decent food, pretty good service but calling-in... isn't fun. They have some issues with their landline. Lots of static when they do pickup, hard to hear them and vice-versa so needless to say: they get orders wrong.

A very mid viet restaurant. The food wasn't very authentic and flavorful. The beef pho broth lacked the beef/bone flavor & had very strong cinnamon taste. The noodles were also kinda hard. Their egg rolls were alright, but were very small & there wasn't enough lettuce for each egg roll. The vermicelli was bland & the chicken with is was also bland and dry. Ok but if this is meant to be more fusion/americanized, it's really not that bad!! tldr; my friend was craving viet food and did not leave with his cravings satisfied

Let's start with the positives. The service here was truly outstanding. The staff members were attentive, courteous, and eager to assist. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and taken care of, which greatly contributed to the overall dining experience.However, I must admit that the chicken pho I ordered did not meet my expectations. The broth lacked the depth of flavor and richness that I associate with a good bowl of pho. The chicken itself was a bit dry, which further affected the overall enjoyment of the dish.. To accompany my meal, I opted for the Rose Thai tea. Unfortunately, this choice turned out to be a disappointment as well. The Thai tea had an unusual aftertaste.
