Excellent service! Try the pho ga (chicken) or the chicken bun (noodle salad). Kiwi smoothies also great. And leave water glass at edge of table to avoid refilling hassle.Upvote3Downvote

Danika WheelerNovember 20, 2016As a vegetarian I wasn't too impressed, however my carnivorous hubs loved the rare beef pho.The veggie pho was plain and dull. The tofu spring rolls however were killer!UpvoteDownvote
Get the steak rare. If you get it well done, it cooks in the broth and makes the meat very chewy. Get the meat rare and it's medium by the time you get to eating it.UpvoteDownvote
#18 large , diet tai (raw meat on the side) and egg rolls. Best lunch for the money. Great service too!UpvoteDownvote
Courtney MooreAugust 1, 2010I always get the noodle soup without meat. Add all the fixin's and spices and your hangover will be cured. Oh, and you will always half a full glass of water.Upvote1Downvote

Joanne ANovember 12, 2010Fresh spring rolls, bowl of combo meat pho and the grilled pork chops rice plate came out to $18.00...great deal!UpvoteDownvote

- Can't go wrong with egg rolls or spring rolls to go along with your order.UpvoteDownvote
Pho is the specialty here, but their rice dishes are excellent. Try Com Tam with marinated pork, beef or even their fried tofu and shrimp paste!UpvoteDownvote
The K5 & S2 are my favs!!! Also the Pho is excellent here!!!!Upvote1Downvote
