It's not filled with bells and whistles and the most modern decor. They don't need that. What attracts a lot of people to this place is the delicious food and the great service. I cannot stress that enough. The soups are phenomenal here and they are filled with stuff inside. You're not going to get that watery type soup. You're getting that chunky chunky chunky soup that makes you wonder why you're so full all of a sudden. The people work hard here and they are running around. They make sure you're doing alright. This is a true "mom and pop" type of shop that is worth it - multiple visits. I can see this place getting more popular than the space can handle. Perhaps they will expand elsewhere, but they deserve that success.

They have a rotating menu. I shared a MUFFALETA SANDWICH with my sister, and we each ordered a soup, CAULIFLOWER ROSEMARY BISQUE and SAUSAGE & 3 CHEESE MINESTRONE. Omg, sandwich and soups were AMAZING! So much flavors. We even order two more soups to go, WHITE CHICKEN CHILI and HAM AND DILL POTATO. Overall, a wonderful experience. Looking forward to returning and their ever changing menu.

After seeing that Pho Duong was getting good reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were here on a Sunday around 4:30. That was a good time to go as there were only two occupied tables at the time. When we entered, an employee was eating his meal. He told us to pick any table we wanted. After doing so, he gave us menus plus a carafe of iced tap water, which we appreciated. I ordered a small bowl of pho ga with white meat chicken, and my husband ordered a large bowl of pho with seafood. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. It was piping hot and accompanied by aromatics consisting of bean sprouts, fresh mint, lime wedges, and sliced fresh jalapeños. As for the food, we both liked the beef broth. My bowl had some large shredded pieces as well as smaller pieces of chicken. The larger ones were on the dry side, but the broth helped by adding moisture. My husband's large bowl had a good number of shrimps as well as seafood, which he couldn't identify. He showed me one piece that looked like a scallop to him, but he said it didn't taste like one. I also thought, from what he showed me, there was some squid in the bowl. Service was excellent from start to finish. When it's time to pay, you go to the counter, and an employee will ring you up. The place was kept very clean. While the decor is spare, it gives off the vibe of a good spot to enjoy a meal. And, yes, next time we want pho, this is where we'll go.

There are seven sandwiches and they have some that are vegetarian friendly. The sandwiches are available in 1/2, 1/8 and 1/4 inch sizes. You can also take home a whole round size sandwich. If sandwiches are not your thing, you can try one of their 7 salad options. Again they have vegetarian options. During my visit I tried the Marky sandwich and the Gabba Gabba salad. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful. I was not able to finish the salad but it was delicious as well! The dressing is already mixed in the salad. I will definitely be back to try out other sandwich options. I also saw on the menu that they have two soup options. The shop has a small seating area if you prefer to eat there.
