My husband and I went here before our movie at Galaxy theatre for dinner. Wonderful service from staff, seated quickly, and food was out within 10 minutes. I had the #11 Pho and my husband had the beef fried rice. Both were amazing! Highly recommend this place if you are craving Vietnamese food.

My fiance and I absolutely love this place! The ingredients are super fresh and delicious, and we love to share the beef hot pot every time. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant well cared for. I highly recommend coming here!

Got diced filet mignon for $18 and shrimp bowl for $14. Ambience was very nice. Service was good. Food was spiced well and balanced. Will come back. One plate was a fillet mignon; I doubt it was really mignon since texture and taste were different, though it tasted good, hence the 4 star rating.

This is a very clean restaurant with outstanding service, the Pho Ga was excellent along with their chili oil. This is our second time here and I am sure that we will be back many more times.

We have come to really enjoy this restaurant. The food is always fresh. We have eaten here several times and haven't had the same dish twice. Phoʻ, noodle dishes and rolls are excellent

Food was pretty good. Portions are small which I like but most customers don't. It all needed a bit of soy sauce to bring the flavors out. Without it was pretty bland. The seating was fast. Getting water on the other hand took forever. Good menu, and good variety. Just like others in their reviews pointed out, flat noodles are stuck together. Also, the noodles in number 1 Pho were undercooked....for some reason too hard. So noodles are not their thing. The sandwich was really good. Fresh crispy bun...could have used a little more meat but other than that it was delicious. Service lacks attention, spontaneousness, and friendliness....but that's kinda usual in Vietnamese restaurants. I guess it's just their personality. Overall not a bad experience...we will go back and check it out again and then give it a full straightforward review.
