The bun was delicious. I like the pickled vegetables in the bun. It was like a bahn mi on noodles. The grilled pork was the right thickness. Pho was tasty. Vegetarian options: They have them. Parking: A little funky. There are two spots in front. All other parking is in the side.
SUPER fast service, got my food within like 3 minutes of ordering haha. Pho was nice on a cooler day, good flavor in the broth. Nothing to complain about, solid local pho spot! Parking logistics could be better, bit of an odd setup as they're located along the side of the building, but not really in the restaurant's control. I'll be back!
Better than I expected! The soup is clear and flavorful. It's a little on the sweet side meaning they used natural ingredients and not msg since it's not too salty. The food came out really fast! The normal price is fair for the area and size of the pho bowl. Small size was just enough for me, more than enough for my girlfriend. The seafood noodle soup was a little bland according to my girlfriend but I liked it that way. They have banh xeo (the Vietnamese egg omelette) and it's made very well, except for the mung beans inside. The tea is really good, served in a cup without the teapot, though. I think it's oolong tea. We asked for extra basil and they didn't charge extra. A few times, there was lipstick on the cups and the tables weren't wiped well, so they could be just a little more thorough on cleaning. There's very little space in front of the restaurant to park so we parked behind the Safeway next to it. The set up and atmosphere inside is nice.
