Not a bad food. However, the owner speaks loudly and on the phone. The bowl was not clean. The food is fine but I don't like the atmosphere. Food : 4/5 | Service : 2/5 | Atmosphere : 3/5 … More

Amazing food absolutely astounding customer service. Very polite very kind. Couldn’t ask for a better pho place and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere

Order 59. Bún Tôm Chả Gio and got 4 shrimp. Literally. Good quality though, the beef pho was okay! Not worth 50$ for a meal for two though. Avg. 25$ a person
