Amazing service and food!! One of my favorite restaurants in Michigan :) I celebrated my birthday here and they were so kind and accommodating for such a large group too read more

Just WOW. I went for lunch on a tuesday, with two friends visiting from Vietnam. The place was packed and I was the only non-Asian in the place. We ordered several items to share and all agreed they were excellent. One of my friend -- who had been with me to a different Vietnamese restaurant in Madison heights last month -- agreed that it was much better. Also the ambiance was much more pleasant than the other place. More open and bright. read more

Saw this place highly reviewed on Google so decided to try it. It was packed at noon on a Sunday. We ordered takeout with a chicken pho, a vermicelli dish, and a third noodle dish that had a side of soup. All three dishes were flavorful, had a good amount of meat, noodle, and sauce as needed. It is a distinctly Vietnamese taste without being too heavy on the salt or sugar. The spring rolls were the favorite part of my dish as it was crunchy and paired well with the meat, noodles and vegetables. Service was friendly despite being quite busy and ambience was well lit and clean inside. Everyone in my group enjoy their dishes. read more

First visit here at Gao, and I loved it. Aesthetic, clean, and casual vibes indoors. I have been searching for a pho dish that leaves me happy, and Gao did exactly that. Broth was wonderful, rich, and had a generous serving of meats. Pickled onions came as a side dish which I appreciated as a palate cleanser in a way. Fresh spring rolls were also fantastic with the peanut sauce the way I like it! Service was great and extremely accommodating. I know I've only been saying very positive comments within this review but in all honesty, I was very happy with my visit here. It will be my go-to Vietnamese restaurant. Of note, it does seem to get fairly busy during dinner hours fyi. read more

Tried out this new place after someone recommended it to us. This is a new restaurant with new ownership. The decor is fun and lively. The space is very open and inviting, perfect for large groups too. The staff were all very nice and offered great service. We were really happy with the food quality and freshness of the ingredients. They used good sized shrimp in the fresh rolls and the pho broth was delicious and flavorful. You can tell all of the vegetables and toppings are fresh and thoroughly picked through. I hate getting bad bean sprouts and basil when I eat pho. I also tried the Vietnamese egg coffee and that was delicious! Will definitely come back to try more items on the menu! read more

Fairly new Vietnamese spot in Madison Heights. They are open ever since day except Wednesdays. We were able to get seated pretty fast along with our food. The pho was very good. The broth was light and the portions were huge. The egg rolls were delicious. read more

Did a take out order and the staff is friendly. Paid $17 for a build your own vermicelli bowl with 2 portions of chicken and one portion of shrimp. Unfortunately the bowl is 85% vermicelli and 15% protein. Super disappointed in the protein portion sizing. It is good but not at all worth the value for what they give you. Would pass on this place. read more

10 out of 10....no notes (ok one note later in the review) On my first visit, the restaurant was packed at 11 am on a weekday and i knew it was going to be good. Service is prompt, gracious, welcoming. The vietnamese ube latte was the best coffee drink I have ever had. I love that the default for all of their various vietnamese coffee beverages is iced. They were nice enough to sub tofu in the fresh rolls appetizer (usually comes with shrimp) and the peanut dipping sauce was so flavorful. The vermicelli bowl had lots of fresh cilantro and basil. They serve it with scissors for noodle cutting! I felt it could have used more veggies and less noodles, but I can't even be mad about it. I cannot wait to return. read more

The wall of faces looks very much like the Korean character faces to me on the side wall. Eerily similar. Lots of Lunar New Year decor inside. It's nice inside. It's newer and looks clean. We shall see how this place compares to some of my preferred Vietnamese spots between John R and Dequindre road. My table was a bit dirty. Good thing there is hot tea to clean my side of the table. The fresh rolls are made with either pork or shrimp, I don't eat either. No apps for me. Other veggie or chicken options would be good, since they have chicken. I got pot of Jasmine green tea, a build my own vermicelli bowl with double chicken vermicelli bowl with an egg roll. $16.96 The tea is a bit weak, but there's only one tea bag for the pot. It's ok. Very light flavor of green tea. It's a decent sized dining area. The chicken is tender and slightly seasoned and grilled nicely. The egg rolls are thin, but super crunchy. They are decent. The vermicelli noodles are what you would expect. It's filler food. Do try the chili sauce, it's got some heat that burns at the back of your mouth and the heat, it builds up too. Added some sriracha and some chili to the chicken vermicelli to give it more flavor than the fish sauce. Service is very good. read more

The food here is really good. You can tell they add the extra to make the food more complex and delicious. The garlic lobster noodle was so good! However, the service is a little slow. read more

This place is so good!!! The food was amazing and the aesthetic of the place is so cute. The service was really good too. The nem cuon (pork spring rolls) and cánh gà chiên nuoc man (chicken wings) were delicious . The wings were so crispy and the sauce was an amazing combination. I got the bún cha hànoi dish which I really enjoyed. I also got the Vietnamese egg coffee which had a nice balance of coffee and sweetness to it. My only complaint was that the drinks come in plastic to go containers so it's not as aesthetic as the picture, but you do get more of the drink in a way because the cup is larger than the ones pictured. I definitely recommend this place and trying something new! read more

Overall, a really nice place. The interior is very modern with thoughtful cultural decor that gives it a warm, authentic feel. The food tastes great and everything we ordered was flavorful and well presented. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was a calm, relaxed dining experience. Prices are a little higher, but the quality and atmosphere make up for it. read more

Had dinner with wife and friend and we got there just in time to be seated around 6:30 tonight (Sat.). Had fish wings which were really chicken wings in a fish sauce and a rice with three types of protein they pork meatloaf, fried tofu topped with a fried egg on rice. Others had spring rolls with a chicken vermicelli dish. Food was outstanding and service was excellent as usual. Prices are reasonable since 3 of us had dinner for less than $70. Place is very popular with families. Great Asian bakery nearby with interesting desert selection. read more

Gao took over the Pho Hang Restaurant location. It opened on January 12, 2026. The owners of GAO remodeled the outside and inside. It's more spacious. I travel outside of Michigan to find Vietnamese beverages so I was happy to see the beverage options of Vietnamese coffees. I tried the Vietnamese Ube Coffee. It was so good. I am looking forward to trying out the Vietnamese food soon! read more

The food was delicious, and the service is amongst the best I've experienced in metro Detroit. I highly recommend the Tiger Tea--such a lovely surprise. The decor is clever and makes me want to implement some of the ideas in my own business. If you haven't tried this yet, give it a shot. You won't regret it! read more

The staff are very friendly and attentive. That goes a long way for me. The decor was clean and interesting. Had the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken, shrimp, and spring roll. All were great and the veggies freshened the dish. I like heat so I added the chili paste. Be careful with this. It's serious heat. Glad I ordered the coconut matcha. It's not too sweet and did a great job to temper the fire. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was good, but our experience was uncomfortable. When my husband and I visited, the server initially avoided speaking directly to him and only addressed me. My husband is Black, and it felt like he was being ignored at first. I'm Asian myself, and we were one of the only interracial couples there. Several other diners kept staring at him during our visit, which made us feel unwelcome. It's unfortunate because the food was great, but the overall experience left a bad impression. We won't be returning, and would recommend. read more
