    Spring rolls
    Tricia C.

    I loved my meal! I got the number 44 Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio. Grill pork & spring rolls vermicelli. I asked for cilantro. Everything on it was tasty. I wish there were more cucumbers. I also bought the Combination fried rice. There were about 20 shrimp in there! The seasoning was better than any fried rice Ive had and the serving size was immense. Also got an extra order of spring rolls. Very flavorful.

    The service was very nice and kind. And they came right away out with our food. The place is small so it really describes an express restaurant. We had to wait for a family to leave in order to get seated. But that was expected. The portions they give you for the rice dishes were such a good amount! And they were able to accommodate my request of egg noodles to be substituted for the rice noodles in my pho, which I was so pleased! The menu was only a small variety, but again it's self explanatory with it being an express restaurant! I would come here again to order the rice dishes because they were delicious and good sized portions as well!

    Came here on a Saturday night for a quick dinner for 3 people around 7:30pm. It was empty at first but quickly filled up within the hour when 3 more parties showed up. The place is small-- 4 small tables inside and one 2-seater outside. The inside tables can be combined for larger seating around 4 people at a table. It seems primarily like a takeout place, however. The pho came in a ceramic bowl but the dry foods came in takeout containers. Drinks are also in to-go cups. The menu is small and simple. As the basic Vietnamese fare (see pic). Thai iced tea could use a SMIDGE more condensed milk but some people prefer it not too sweet. I still appreciated it. Drank the whole thing! 3.8 out of 5 stars. For appetizer we got 2 orders of summer rolls and for the main, house special pho and house special vermicelli. Flavor-wise it was slightly blander than what I'm used to with viet food (compared to SoCal). For example, the vinegar based sauce for the vermicelli was not tangy or vinegar-y enough. And the pho soup base was only 3 out of 4 stars. The summer rolls I was happy with because they are so big!! I think it might've been missing more basil leaves but overall I'm satisfied. The peanut sauce was AMAZING and portion was large too. Peanut sauce was actually the star of the entire meal experience. I also like the portion size of the mains as well. Food: 3 (flavor), 4 (portions) Service: 5 Ambience: 4 (it clearly says Express. As expected for what it advertises as a takeout place, but wish there more seating. Don't need those game vending machines. Need more seats!). Clean, bright. I like the cushioned bench seating. If I were the owner, I would remove the gumball machine (do children use these anymore?) and remove the stuffed animal vending machines. And replace that entire wall with seating. Also there must be a better place to put the soda fridge like behind the counter so that they can put more seats. That's how you make money!!! One party almost left bc no seating and they didn't want to wait. I hope this will establishment flourishes and expands its menu. Not enough good viet places since covid caused the good ones to close down. Would come back!

    MY FIRST TIME TRYING PHO... IM SATISFIED !!! Everything is so fresh, they are so professional and fast. I love everything about this place

    The beef pho is the most heavenly and incredible bowl i've ever been graced with in my life. I've been hitting lots of pho spots lately and this is the BEST by miles. Their thai tea is also very good, just sweet enough. we also had some of their appetizers and those were awesome too. The food came out pretty quick, the employees/ server were so kind and attentive and friendly. We've been here three times in two weeks already and it's almost an hour away from us! We love this spot forever. The restaurant itself looks like they lean more to a carry out restaurant but there are cozy corners to sit and eat at, which is wha we do!

    Fast casual…read more Ordered the bowl with Vermicelli: shredded chicken, fried tofu, fish balls, added one fried egg, mini shredded chicken bahn mi. $26.46 The bahn mi ingredients stay in place after the bun is hollowed out. There is some home sauce in the sandwich. It's ok. The vermicelli is quite different. Not loving the rolls, the Vietnamese pickles and the tofu so much, the skin of the rolls are rather soggy. The pickles are an odd texture and flavor to me. The tofu sometimes has an Indian curry seasoning to it. Overall it's not what I expected at all. It's a different riff on the vermicelli bowl, but it didn't do it for me. Ate my egg and meat and left the rest behind, mostly.

    I was taking food to my son's house. It is about 25 minutes away from this restaurant. Now this…read moreneeds to be said because of something I'm going to say in a little bit. I had gotten any orders from everybody in the house and I placed the order at the register. I was very surprised at how quickly I got the order. Wow amazing! Now this was the first time I had gotten food from this place. As I grabbed the bags that were tied shut, my brain said you should check the order. But then I thought, I am the only person in the restaurant, I'm sure they got it right. Well, I was missing two of my items. I decided that the next day I had to go about a block from where the restaurant is, I'll pop in and tell them what happened. When I told the person at the counter, the question out of their mouth was, well, why didn't you come back. I told them I was not nearby and that by the time I was coming back home, they were closed. They did give me the refund on the two items, but I thought it was an odd question to ask me before never saying that they were sorry they messed up my order. Now, the food we received was delicious. The bread, the fillings, were amazing. My wife's bowl, she loved it. The egg roll rolls were perfect. My only complaint about the egg rolls, was that they don't have a sauce for them. They do have a hot sauce that is very nice. But I was looking more for a plum sauce type of thing. I would definitely go back there again, but I will check my order before I leave the building. They have a small seating area that is very well appointed. I think that most of their business is carry out.

    Pho and seafood boil in one place is a win win! When you can choose one, get both!…read more The clams cooked with lemon grass and jalapeños was one of our favorites! The clams tasted super fresh. You must try the salt and pepper squid! On the menu it says there's only certain days for certain dishes so be on the look out for that. The staff were super friendly. If you've ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant in Cali or FL the vibes are vibin' IYKYK.

    Been wanting to try this place for many years and had time to go finally…read more I didn't hate no love it. It was more mid for me. I did enjoy the smoothie with boba. I miss have smoothies/boba drinks made this way. I did like the huge menu because there are so many choices of options. I did like the scallion lobster although it was messy to eat. The flavor reminded me that that canned chop suey I ate as a child. I felt their prices were kind of high for the area. Just my personal option. I wasn't a huge fan of the pho broth, but I didn't hate it either. I'm indifferent bout it. But my noodles were very clumped together and hard to break apart to eat them in the soup. I would have preferred more white onion and not more green in the soup. The meat choice (brisket sliced beef) was ok. The price for the bowl was reasonable. The crab pho was not worth the price. This was over priced I feel. Maybe I would give them another try and try their traditional plates. The chicken quarters looked good and so did the seafood boils. Service was kinda slow. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table and greet us. We got water and then we wait a little more time for a waiter. Overall the service was not bad. Our waiter was pretty cool. Restaurant wasn't dirty but there were some flies buzzing.
