    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!

    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!

    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!

    The pho here is nothing other than incredible, the service is amazing!…read moreI have tried quite a few Vietnamese restaurants in metro Detroit. This has been the best I've had so far. The pho broth is incredible, the cuts of rare beef are tender and amazing. It's hands down just incredible. 10/10 would recommend trying it!

    Friday 05/01 around 845PM…read more $13 reg size pho 1 combo (pho dat biet) . It's small. Meatballs were THIN, and was the most meat I received.. 5-6. FLAT pieces. Beef about 3 pieces, brisket 5 , very thin pieces. NO TRIPE- they forgot it. Little onions. 3 tiny pieces of tendon $6 fresh rolls. COLD AF. I understand you eat them "cold" but it was like they pre-rolled them & they sat all day in the fridge until it was ordered. I came in around 845PM. Felt the same temp as my ice cold water they brought out. Pork & shrimp very thin. Peanut sauce was very little, def not enough for 2 rolls. Took one small bite & took it home. As a Vietnamese, Very disappointed. Gave this place another shot & I wish I would've spent my $20 elsewhere. I rlly wanted to like them since they open an hour later than other local joints & it's close to where I stay. Sucks, just got back from airport needed some liquid gold in my life. Came in & ordered in Vietnamese, & she didn't understand me. I should've just walked out idk if it was because I came late, or what. I walked in someone was already there, they had a couple of carry outs, but another table of 2 came in. I took my time sifting thru the noodles to make sure I wasn't tripping. Just go the extra 5-7 mins & stick to Madison heights area or go home & make some eggs & rice til the next day. TO ME, It's rlly not worth it as a Vietnamese person, but you may have a different experience & I hope that you do! I hope this review helps them improve because they knew they was skimpy & that shit was cold af let's be real. Street /parallel parking in Ferndale
