We were seated quickly on a Monday afternoon. It was moderately busy. I got the pho tai and my…read morefriend got the pork chop pho. The broth was rich and flavorful. My bowl was HUGE. I was able to finish off my noodles and meat and then had a ton of that yummy broth left. The pho tai was bomb, but next time I gotta get the pork chop. I tried a bit of my friends and it was so crispy and flavorful! They have all the fixings at each table--sriracha, hoisin, seasoning, fish sauce, etc. which is super important so you can customize the spice and flavor to your liking. The service was good and they were quick. There is truly nothing like a perfectly seasoned, hot bowl of pho on a chilly day! They also serve boba, Vietnamese iced coffee, etc. Plenty of parking as well.

Service was quick but they were 3 very young girls so they were very quiet. Only talked to them to order and pay check. I ordered a grilled steak sandwich which was good. Streak was tender and seasoned well. It didn't have enough toppings. One small slice of cucumber, half had shredded carrot, cilantro . Wouldn't have been so bad it there was more meat. Still, a good sandwich for the price. We ordered Eggrolls because they didn't have any spring rolls. Egg rolls can out hot and fresh fried. After letting them cool for a moment, they were filled with chicken which made them a little dry. My husband ordered seafood soup which had 5 pieces of shrimp, pork and a quail egg. It was tasty. All and all, the food was good but not spicy like other vietnamese restaurants.

The food & drink was yummy! :) A suggestion I have would be to not use size for poke bowls. There is only one size...the small, medium, & large is apparently based on the number of extra proteins you basically want to add (i.e: salmon, spicy salmon, etc.).

I got the Tonkatsu Ramen with Black Garlic Oil, and my partner got the Salmon Ponzu Poke Bowl.

The portion sizes were good. Neither I nor my partner could finish all of our food.

No menu; go to the counter and ask what they can cook for you and they will say anything you want. We settled on a noodle salad ($5) which came with a nice side of mung beans fried in batter, and some egg roll-like pastries (2 for $1). Both were fresh tasting and delicious. They also indicated they could make a noodle soup and fried rice but there are a lot of people milling around in the kitchen and I bet you could put together a pretty varied meal with some experimentation.
