Ok...... so where do I start?!?! Real quick.... as I'm about to write this review. I'm telling my VIETNAMESE wife, "I told you so!" By having a Vietnamese wife, I have food credit on what's good viet food. I came here a few times when it was "Saigon harbor." I was hoping but it never lived up to the hype. I live in 5 mins away. Even though, i have a few "go to" pho spots in the city. I always wanted a good pho spot within arms reach. I always wanted some kind of convenience. Finally, I have it! What's that phrase?!? "Another person's trash is someone else's gold!" Let's give a round of applause for the new owners! Let's start off with the staff, 5 stars! Extremely friendly, personable, approachable, and respectful. Yes! I'm sounding like an A** kisser but these new owners/staff is great compared to the one-word answer staff you get at any other viet Restaurant. Last Sunday, I was craving pho. I told my wife "Saigon harbor" is under a new management. Let's give it a try! Let's get take out n watch game of thrones. One of the best decisions Ive made since marrying my wife. I walked in dressed like a dirty laborer. They greeted me with respect. They didn't pass judgement on what I looked like or how I dressed. This is personally important to me. Btw, place was more than 3/4 packed on a Sunday night. Impressive! While I was waiting on my food, one of the staff members and I were talking about what's going on with the new Restaurant and the past. Long story short, he said, "i promise you! You'll be back!" Guess what!?!? We were back today for more take out. Also, I was very impressed by what my wife told me when she came home with our order. My wife asked for "pineapple sauce" last week, they forgot to put it in. It wasn't life or death. Forgive and forget. When my wife went in, she asked for the sauce again. Staff member had an amazing memory. He said to her. You must be the lady from last week. Idk. Maybe he recognized her voice. Idk but I was impressed. He Apologized right away for forgetting. Now that's customer service right there. Let's get to the food! Majority of the time, I get pho deluxe and spring rolls. Springs rolls were excellent! Instead of getting your normal quantity of 2, you get 3 here! Shocker! It's hard to explain but They're just perfect in flavoring, meat, size, density, texture, cripsy, n etc. Deluxe was absolutely great. Remember, it's all about the broth then meats. Personally, the broth was perfect. I wasn't drinking a bowl of salt water or pure fat! Portions were perfect. It wasn't over bearing with extra amount of meats or opposite; a mountain of noodles and not enough meats. I'm not your typical customer. I just want good food. This is what I got; a great meal! I don't care about "deals." Im not a person who wants to pay $6 for a bowl of pho and expect to eat or make two meals out of it. My standards are simple. Give me good food and simple service. I don't ask for much. Sometimes, the smallest gestures to me are the biggest. Btw.... my wife enjoyed everything she ate. Also, I noticed how Hanoi's has a few authentic viet dishes on their menus which other places do not. I can't wait to come back n tried something new. If you been here before, like or dislike, please go back! Give this new team a try! Like he said to me before "you'll be back!" He was right! I'm back and I'm staying. Thankyou! Good luck! read more
