    overpriced with bad portions & bad service, wouldn't recommend. The place is dirty & the cashier/owner on his phone, big up charge on card fee.

    Nayima H.

    came to eat here for lunch with friends was disappointed in service, i've been here quite a few times and normally it's never to bad, but today food quality wasn't the best, There wasn't enough pho noodles in my soup, And was told if i wanted chicken pho it would be a 45 min wait. As well as having to pay more with debt/credit card. They offer a 4% off discount paying cash but charge more when paying card. My friend also was asking questions and i'm guessing the owner raised his voice tables were sticky as well as floor and baby chair

    I got chicken katsu for $15.99(plus tax & tip), I asked for siriacha and he said it would be 50 cents extra for each tiny pack. no utensils or napkins were given. The katsu had little to no chicken. Mainly the breaded part. The service wasn't good. The old man was rude.

    This is a COVID-era review. Reason why we chose this place: they have vegetarian broth! (we had some vegetarians in the group) I though the pho was good. Devoured the large easily. Broth was good and same with noodles. Didn't really order anything else. The beef was good too (though I wish there was more since I ordered a large) If you want water, the staff will fill up your cup for you (or you can order from the fridge). There is a restroom so that's good. For parking, the establishment is in a plaza so it shares a parking lot with the other businesses like Safeway. Super easy to park. The owner seems super nice and he's all about getting your order and making sure you are able to fill up your belly. Great place!

    Beef Teriyaki

    Not a good spot for Teriyaki... but might be for Pho. The beef teriyaki tasted and looked like it was just warmed up the day before & the salad was starting to brown. I probably wouldn't go here again but the service was good.

    Brisket pho

    Mom and pop restaurant. I ordered brisket pho and fried gyoza To go. Now, I did re fry the gyoza at home because I like mine extra crispy. But the flavors were amazing. Tasted fresh. Just wish that there was mint included in the pho toppings.

    2 of 6 tables that have not been cleaned up yet and have been here since we arrived nearly 40 minutes ago.

    Came in to joy pho to dine in. Seemed to be only 1 person in the front and 1 person in the back. We ordered our food 35 minutes ago. Still hasn't come. Wish the guy in the front would have said it would be a while before we got our food- we would have gone somewhere else to eat. Ridiculous amount of waiting and on top of that, 5 tables are full of plates and cups, from customers that have left that the workers have not yet cleaned up; Hardly anywhere to sit because of this. poor customer service, expect to wait for your food, lack of communication, and im about ready to ask for my money back and go somewhere else at this point.

    Wife was craving some pho and we searched auburn for a place to eat pho. Disappointing, worse pho ive had and i love pho. The prices are absurd. I ordered a spring roll. It was like 4 inches, i wanted more peanut sauce and it was $1 for more... Stay away.

    To go pho with everything.

    Joy Pho & Teriyaki: Came here on a whim was picking up a pizza at Round Table next door. Ordered to go, a large pho with everything. Like other reviews the place is a little pricey for the portions that you get. The pho was okay nothing special. I left for about 10 min and came back and my order was ready. That is a plus for quickness. The person working maybe the owner handed me my food while talking on the phone. As he handed me my food proceeded to keep talking on the phone. I sat there and kept looking at him since I wanted a chili oil for my pho. He kept talking on the phone and doesn't even bother to acknowledge me after giving me my food. I just sat there for almost 5 min while he keeps talking on the phone. He can't even acknowledge me. I probably won't be back cause they don't really care about service or even an acknowledgement. It's not that hard to say, can I help you with anything else...lol apparently it is there...I hope everything has a better experience that I did...

    Iced coffee was good!
    Monica S.

    I brought my husband here, since it was open later and my usual spot wasn't. Half of the tables were dirty and not cleaned up, but the guy working the tables and counter was really nice and proper. The broth was okay -- nothing to write home about. My husband liked his fried rice and we are happy that the rolls are traditional Vietnamese rolls, and not Chinese food type of rolls. The potstickers were good, but again, nothing crazy. It's a good place to go to if you're in the middle of a craving.

    Sigh. This pho was so underwhelming. The broth was like water, completely bland. I asked for extra green onion, and you'll see what I got in the pic. I asked if I could have more and he told me the woman in the kitchen said no. They also were out of fresh basil but didn't mention it when I ordered. The grilled chicken spring rolls I ordered were just thrown together. Even the peanut sauce tasted watered down. Definitely should have gone somewhere else.

    This is good place if you want pho and teriyaki together. It was awesome choice for me and my bf because he wanted teriyaki and i wanted some Vietnamese food. I got bun cha ( vermicelli noodle bowl with pork and egg roll). Overall price for food was very affordable thus portion is just good enough to fill your belly. Butter chicken was actually coated with butter which I liked but I could tell it is frozen chicken wings. Their spring roll was okay too. Server is very nice. They open til 10pm and even open on Sunday so you can get either pho or teriyaki anytime you are craving for.

    Is the pho vegetarian no meat broth?

    I've heard him say there is an option for that. It is a special request.

    Picked up a Regular Spring Roll and a Grilled Pork Banh Mi to go. The Spring Rolls were fresh with…read morelettuce, shrimp, pork and vermicelli noodles. It was served with a peanut sauce. They tasted fresh and delicious as a great way to start the meal. I also ordered a grilled pork banh mi. The sandwich tasted great and had a nice balance of sweet and heat with the jalapeños. It had generous amounts of pork, pickled carrots, cucumbers, cilantro and jalapeños. Together, the flavors came together nicely. It is one of the best ones I've had. The ambiance was modern, nice and clean. They had nice background music playing. The employees that waited on me were nice and friendly. Their service was also good. Looking at the menu, they offer several noodle and rice dishes as well as pho. I like the number options available and look forward to trying other menu items in the future.

    Solid 3.5/5. Food…read more(2.5-4/5). We had 4 grilled pork vermicelli with egg rolls, 1 pho tai with beef meatballs, and 1 spring rolls. Vermicelli was a 3.5 as it was fresh and a good serving (4) but the grilled pork was on the cooler side and didn't taste as crisp and fresh off the grill as you'd expect (3). Best part of the pho was the broth as it wasn't too salty like it can be sometimes elsewhere (4). Veggies were super fresh. Sliced beef was previously sliced and the whole chunk was placed in so you had to tease apart the slices from each other which was a little different than my experiences elsewhere. SKIP THE SPRING ROLLS. Picture had three shrimps/roll. Ours had 1/roll on one side with a slice of pork (I think) on the other. Seemed pretty skimpy if you ask me (2.5 at best). Service was good (4). Location was in a small strip mall with a Mexican and Indian place next door. The bars over nearly the entire front storefront were definitely interesting. For an out-of-towner, this part of Kent seems like a Santa Ana/Westminister/Garden Grove of OC, CA kind of an area with different ethnic offerings up and down the street.

    I've tried so many different pho places but this is by far the most impressive in terms of taste…read moreand flavor. I've confirmed with the staff that they don't use msg because the soup tastes so good! I also didn't feel tired or super thirsty a few hours later so that's also a really good sign they didn't put msg or a lot of salt. Combination pho (5/5) Unbelievable taste, lots of flavor, soup came out piping hot and lots of fresh ingredients and meat. The noodle itself is also cooked perfectly. Vermicelli with pork and egg rolls (5/5) The pork is very tender and tastes delicious, the sauce that comes with it is not overly salty and you don't need to pour so much since the noodles and ingredients taste very flavorful already. The service here matches the amazing flavors. They are very attentive and always make sure we are happy the entire meal. The place looks very clean and well decorated. I would definitely want to come back and try everything on the menu!

Broth was rich, flavorful with a nice kick/spice to it. Big size portion and generous on the meat. After one bite,I couldn't stop eating. My husband ended up getting the veggie banh mi sandwich. And you get the option of adding an egg with it which he ended up choosing. He said the veggie sandwich was super flavorful and would recommend to anyone that's vegetarian/vegan. Service: The lady greeted us with warmth, kindness and even sent us a prayer before our meal. I can't explain the feeling of outstanding service but if you want to feel welcomed, this is the place! Ambiance: This place has the cutest decor inside and when we walked in, jazz music was playing. Also very IG worthy for ambiance. I will be for sure coming back if I'm ever in the area!!
