It was our first time here. We came because of the many great reviews from a Facebook group. To our demise, we already had that "fleeting feeling" to not go inside when we walked towards the door, yet we pushed those feelings aside. The pho had good meat portions but the broth was bland - nothing notable or special, no depth, no beefy broth. We love eggrolls but the three of us could barely finish two eggrolls. It literally became a game of pushing the eggrolls across the table, back and forth. They were greasy, lacked flavor, tasted like a mash-up of American/Thai/Chinese freezer eggrolls than traditional Vietnamese eggrolls. The eggrolls were accompanied with a sauce that tasted like bottle concoctions tossed together vs the traditional nuoc cham made from scratch. The sauce didn't have a balance nor tempted us to eat more eggrolls. Aside from taking our order and awkwardly bringing our pho out with silicone mitts - that pretty much summened up the "service" - no checking on us, no filling our water, and we self paid at the counter. The restaurant was very loud and you literally walk through the dishwashing/sink/work area (only separated by a tattered privacy screen) to go to the bathroom. Can't imagine how the kitchen looks like. I've been to whole in the wall places and want to support local/ small businesses but this was our first and last time here. Our hopes of a new favorite spot left us regretting this decision as it was very disappointing!

I absolutely adore this place. The staff are amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have some of the best spring rolls and pho I've ever had.

All the food was really good. The phở broth is amazing, though the chicken was a little dry. They really give you a lot of meat, which can be a little much for some people. Call me crazy, but I would've like more noodles and less meat.The rice and apps were fantastic, though the pan-fried dumplings seemed equivalent to store bought. All others were really good...especially the egg rolls, amazing.

Pho was 4 out of 10 since it taste every water down for $14 regular size and if you wanted to make it a large than that’s an extra $2. 2 Spring rolls had no flavor for $8. The service was horrible. The girl waitress gave me an attitude the whole time me and family was there. The seating was horrible as well. I would not come back ever again.

Proper good authentic food!I would recommend any of the Bahn Mi and any of the Pho soups without tendon or tripe!The staff are friendly and accommodating. My only wish is that there would be more attention to each section from the staff throughout the meal experience.There are no free refills, which is ok, any soda comes in a can. In terms of clearing the table of plates or miscellaneous trash, I think they could improve. I do recognize they are very busy, and I am thankful for them regardless!
Ooooooohhhh yesssss honey! It’s the vegan tofu spring rolls for me! I can’t find these anywhere else, and the service has always been good to me

WOW, their pho was bad, broth was weak, water down, no taste, tripe, tendons, meatballs was edibles, rare beef slices was the best thing in the bowl, broken pho noodles was the final straw. Hate to leave bad reviews but never had an experience like this before. Walking in the place was packed full, but I also noticed that no one really finished their pho, now I know why. My little girl n I walked out after a couple bites. Maybe others have a different opinion, sadley will not be returning, sorry Pho 99

Excellent Beef and Chicken Pho!!! Have to go try it. Will be back again soon!
Heard a lot of good things about this place so I came to check it out to see if it really was the best Pho restaurant in MN. I’d agree with the last guy who reviewed this. The pho broth was average to above average. On a scale from 1-10 it’s a 7.5. I was disappointed since so many people hyped up this place. I also ordered numerous items on the menu as well and they were all mediocre to below average for the most part (eggrolls, spring rolls, fried rice, Bahn Mi and the bbq pork with vermicelli noodles). Probably the best thing on this menu was the wontons and the Thai Tea. But come on now, you really can’t mess up Wontons tbh. Overall, the service was good. It’s a tiny spot so it felt a bit cluttered. Will I return, most likely not.

Do not order the seafood Pho, I was so excited to eat some authentic tasting pho and came 20 miles out of town to try it from here, it tastes like nothing and dirty dish water, NO taste at all and the lobster and meat also weren't spiced and tastes like dirt. Don't have high standards for the Pho. :(
