The staff was really friendly and the food was really tasty I found some vegetarian vegan option add the spring rolls and they were good and tofu stir fry with vegetables
So good! Hot coffee was delightful, soup was nice even when it’s hot out, and the veggies and variety were pleasant. #32 and number #5
This place is a gem. The grilled chicken spring rolls were the best I've had. The seasoning on the chicken complimented the freshness of the veggies and the wrapper had a just the right amount of chewing. The peanut sauce was perfect. I had the brisket and beef ball pho and I wouldn't change a thing.
My kid had food poisoning, to get liquids in her after the hospital discharged her i got her pho broth. The woman that helped me gave me noodles on the side and said it will help her! So nice, REALLY did get her through the ordeal.
Very clean. Food is great. Ingredients are fresh. The volume of meat is a little bit low. Great service. $1 surcharge for credit card.
Food is good! Service by one of the servers was FABULOUS. Lady server (she had braces). The guy server was horrible! The type of server that just shouldn't be serving. Asked for veggies, then when he came with that, I realized they forgot to give us water, so I asked whenever he had a chance, to bring the water. He replied, "you should have told me that before, when I was getting your vegetables." Ummmmm. Ok. I asked when I ordered. But, I guess the gal who took our order didn't relay the message to him, so our water was not delivered until half way into the meal. And, I heard the guy server tell the lady server to get it, and so she did, in between dropping food off to other tables. Not impressed by the male server. So, if you go here with the intention that you might get subpar service, but yummy food, you'll like it here. Pho soup base was great, but the cuts of meat was mostly cartilage. I had a chicken, vegetable, noodle bowl. It's like a cold noodle salad. The flavor was great. Good portion for the price. We still paid about $30 with tip which isn't horrible, we had 1 pho, 1 chicken/noodle bowl, gyoza appetizer, 1 Vietnamese iced coffee, and boba Thai iced tea. Again the food was good, service is good if you get the nice server.
Wanted to try some local Pho , we usually go to iPho in Modesto . The quality of meat wasn’t too great . The broth and noodles were excellent though, I’d eat here again . I had a coconut smoothie as well and could tell they used fresh coconut, wasn’t disappointed at all.
