no person who values treating people with respect should order from here. Teach your employees to treat their customers well. We came to pick up a meal like just like everyone else. It's cold, i had a tooth extraction so we wanted Pho. The host gave us our meal. We asked for 5 sauce packets specifically. He got an attitude, then came back with 2 sauce packets. My wife said "hey I asked for 5 sauces." He replied defiantly "I gave you enough, what more do you want!" Extra garnish is already $1 extra and the Pho is $14 (which is wildly overpriced for a Pho place). Now you're making a big deal out of sauce packets? We will never eat here again. This is how you treat customers?
The worst chicken vermicelli I have ever had. The noodles were so oily and slimy. Not enough carrots and lettuce. No egg rolls on top of the dish. The presentation was very unpleasant and looked very un appetizing. The only thing good I can say about the visit was the portion size was very large and the waitress/hostess was very nice and pleasant. I will not return because of very low quality food for the high prices. THE OFFER TO SAVE A VALUABLE CUSTOMER IS NOT IN THIS BUSINESS'S DNA.
Wow! I lived near here for years and never saw this place until today. Best Pho place I have been to for a long time. Owners great! His name is "Little". Best Bahn Mi sandwich because they make their bread there fresh. Its big too! Also the Pho soups and broth delicious. I havent tried everything but the menu has unique dishes added on than other places. Prices great, ambiance casual and nice. Definitely try it out. Next time I want to try the salmon plate, oxtail soup, and fried shrimp.
