The brisket pho was one of the best bowls I’ve had in Iowa. I haven’t found a place I’ve enjoyed this much since I was in vietnam. The Korean short ribs were meaty and tender. Got a pretty good bahn mi togo. Can’t wait to go back!
The food is insanely delish! Nice clean new restaurant. We’ve been here twice so far and will be back again!

Cute new restaurant. Good pho. I always have enough for leftovers.Dietary restrictions: They are not the most knowledgeable about gluten-free but they were able to confirm their pho is gluten free.I've gotten the chicken pho there twice with no issues.

As other reviews can attest, this place has great pho. But do give other options a try and you might find yourself getting sucked into more that this cuisine can offer you. (Picture: Trung Va Lap Xuong-Grilled Pork Chop Egg Sausage)

This place is not good. There are other Pho places in Iowa city that are much better and more worth your time/money. The service here was really lacking, and the manager even put something from a dirty table on my table so he could clean that table. Super disrespectful in my opinion. The service was slow. I ordered a Thai tea and egg rolls as an appetizer. The egg rolls were EXTREMELY COLD and they came out super fast. They came out faster than my Thai tea so I know the egg rolls had just been sitting there for a while. My pho came out and was cold. It is not worth the $20 and there are not a lot of options. The vibe in the restaurant is not cozy or a good vibe. I'm super disappointed in this new establishment in Iowa City. I will never be back again.
Not even one star! Horrible cold egg rolls the food taste like it's been sitting for days and got microwaved ... I don't believe I should have paid 70$ for such. I normally don't leave reviews but it was so bad I even politely had to tell the waiter an he just said oh. Sorry. Feel as if I've been robbed of my hard earned money... I mean 3 eggs rolls? No bigger than a baby carrot?? ? what a joke.

Honest opinion: Pho was great, I ordered the pho speciality. They had all of the toppings, basil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, hoisin, sriracha, and chili oil. Everything that I think you need for a solid pho. We ordered a couple drinks the butterfly milk tea and the purple lemonade and they were delicious. Overall great food, restaurant, and service. Only negative would be it’s a little on the pricier side for pho but the portions are really nice so I didn’t mind.
