Wow!!! This food was perfect!! I've had Vietnamese food before and I swore to not eat it again!! Well this place changed my mind!!! Food is fantastic, service is so great they gave us wam tea while waiting for our to-go order. The restaurant is nice, older but nice like grandmas house!! Give them a try!!!
I don't usually give 5 stars unless service and food were both superb and it truly was a great experience tonight. I had the p8 pho, and the tofu spring rolls. Pho broth was spot on in flavor, could taste the spices without being overwhelming, none of that numbing mouth feeling from too much clove. I enjoyed it so much I wish the bowl had been twice as large. The tofu spring rolls were delicious they fry the tofu and form the spring rolls fresh not like some places that give you pre-made rolls that have become hard. Will definitely return! Oh and the ladies running the place were extremely nice and attentive.
Love the food! We discovered this hidden gem a month ago and have been going once a week! We usually get it to go, we love the bbq sandwiches and we always get the bbq pork fried rice. The rice is my favorite part and they're pretty quick to bring out our food since we usually go to during lunch time.
This was a 5/5 experience! My boyfriend and I were amazed that this place has both excellent service AND excellent food. We ordered the spring roll appetizer which proved to be different from other Vietnamese restaurants - they went the extra length to add a fried rolled crisp in the middle! It added a lot of flavor and texture. We both ordered a well done steak + brisket pho each. The broth was super clean and flavorful on its own. The noodles were al dente - perfect texture. And the ratio of meat was appreciated! The owners are genuinely nice and attentive :) We just moved to this area and felt super welcomed! They definitely have years of experience in the restaurant business. Definitely will come back and highly recommend to all!
Amazing food and great people. I'll anyways come here now. The spring rolls and pho were phenomenal Thank you!
