This is by far the closest to authentic Vietnamese cuisine that I've tried in the city.

The worst place ever! I couldn't even imagine it could happen. I ordered the food there online and they delivered raw meat and ingredients instead of prepared pho soup! And when I called them, the man said I can cook everything myself and as I continued to be unhappy about the situation, he sent me to the online service where I made the order!

The restaurant is big, always clean and gives the vibe that it is a family restaurant.They take your order very quickly, and they also serve you the food quickly, the portion is good, and honestly the taste is good.The pho has good flavor, the broth is very fragrant and they serve you a good proportion of noodles . ❤️It is a quiet and family atmosphere, it is a good place to dine.

Uber order: Their prices are very competitive and reasonable. They are always on the affordable end with generous portions!! The food is flavourful and delicious. Well packaged, restaurant follows instructions and really went over the top with my order! Thanks for the spring rolls! Absolutely delicious - I dare say it’s one of the best Vietnamese spring rolls!

Older gentleman was nice at first but it became a weird experience as his service wasn't the best.

Liked: deer head inside restaurant. The two TV's. The over share I heard from the first date nearby.Disliked: undercooked chicken ?, over peppered food, plates and bowls dirty, and automatically adding tip.We ordered the chicken vermicelli, the caramelized pork ribs, and the spring rolls. Will not be back.Vegetarian options: A full page of veggie options.Kid-friendliness: They had 1 high chair and 1 booster seat.

I typically order the beef pho, usually does not disappoint. Staff is friendly. I have had their chicken with rice several times. Always on point. The pho on a rare occasion has a little too much oil

The food was delicious. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the Auto-gratuity applied to the cost, and to top it off, applied to the AFTER tax amount. Not cool.We were only 2 people eating.I would have likely tipped a similar amount, but that would have been my choice.

The food here is excellent.My only issue is their shady business practices.These people automatically add a tip to your bill even if you're a table for one they will add a tip to your bill without you even knowingAnd then will not say anythingYou'll have 15 percent added to your bill as a tip but they don't say anything and many customers including myself have been scammed into this and even add another tip on top of this bec we don't even realize they have just stolen or helped themselves to a tipThis happened to me yesterday and when I confronted her about this I was told it was her point of sale machine that does this automaticallyThis is absolutely unacceptableIt's actually theft. They do this to everyone. I understand it's a stand for large tables of 8 or more. But for a table of one.This place has been ripping off individual customers/tablesBeware they are thieves and while I'm all for tipping and would have definitely left her the 15 percent because the food was great...That's up to me. We decide how much and even if we want to tip or not. Not the server.

Solid option if you are looking for Vietnamese. Fresh and delicious with large portions.Fresh rolls stuffed with lots of shrimps. Big crispy spring rolls.Stir fried eggplant with garlic sauce is highly recommended. Tender pieces of eggplant in a delicious garlicky sauce, served with fried tofu.Bò Tái Chanh, rare beef in lime, is well balanced, sweet and sour notes, with a bit of fish sauce funk.Service was friendly and attentive. Would recommend for sure.Vegetarian options: Stir fried eggplant with garlic sauce is a must try. Tender pieces of eggplant in a garlicky sauce, served with perfectly crisped tofu.

The food was okay, but the bill had an automatic 20% service charge that we were not informed about (we were only 2 people). The owner simply charged us an extra 20% - we were not told about this charge in the beginning nor was it shown on the menu. Please beware!

Had been eyeing this place for a long time, and was very disappointed. I had a beef pho and my partner a beef stew. The pho was tastless dish water with tastless noodles, and the beef stew was extremely fatty and greasy. Do not recommend whatever.

Owner did not take our order. Gave us a piece of paper to write our own order, we did. He did not confirm with us what we ordered and delivered BOTH of our orders wrong. He then blamed and scolded us for bad penmanship and went as far as rolling his eyes on us.EXTREMELY RUDE and unprofessional. Also he did not let us see the bill and added his own tip. We later found out he overcharged us.Flavor was pretty good but will NEVER come back due to this sketchy behavior.

Ordered vermicelli with 4 extra servings of meat/protein and a banh xeo with no shrimp (allergic). They packaged the banh xeo with the extra meat/protein in one container, so my banh xeo was partially sitting on top of the Chao tom - partially separated by foil. Didn't get to eat the banh xeo due ro cross contamination. The banh xeo didn't look great as the inside was filled heavily with mung bean and the sprouts was cooked, in a separate bag. The vermicelli didn't include lettuce or peanuts. And they only gave us 1 container of nuoc man. Cucumbers were cut up for elephants.
