"The pho dac biet is one of the best I've tasted. Fresh, full of flavor, very robust. Ample meat, tendons, tripe, and meatballs. Will definitely go out of the way to stop by again."

"After a long drive from Chicago, my family and I enjoyed a delicious dinner! It was a peaceful atmosphere! We were greeted with great customer service. We ordered pho and they offered it in kid-friendly portions. It was hot, fresh, and flavorful! We recommend the P1, P2, Bonhue (spicy), spring rolls & jasmine tea. We came for dinner near closing time but they didn't rush us. We were told safe travels and given smiles out the door. Thank you to the friendly staff."
