Very small. The Tso sauce tasted more like a sweet and sour teriyaki. This is the first Chinese food I have bought that hasn't provided several meals. The price for what you get is high, as these 2 items cost around $20. That didn't include good ol'fortune cookies, either. I ordered online, so unsure about the ambiance or the service. I will not order from here, again, and wish I never had in the first place. Sad.

The food was delicious, and everyone in my group really enjoyed their meal. We're already planning to come back next week, and I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try great pho.

They directed us to the new dine-in location, and we were seated immediately at whichever table we wanted. The service was friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly. The only small issue was that our drinks arrived after our appetizer, but everything else was excellent. I can't stop thinking about the watermelon smoothie with tapioca boba--it was so good! I'm definitely going to be craving it. The passion fruit drink was also delicious. I ordered the small P2 pho, and it came with plenty of meat and noodles. Honestly, the small was filling, and the large looked huge! My husband ordered the C8 (steak and shrimp), and it was amazing. The steak was tender, flavorful, and had a delicious charbroiled taste. The new location is very spacious and has a lot of seating! Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

This Vietnamese restaurant is in a small shopping center with several other Asian restaurants as well, and has plenty of parking in the lot. First off, the folks who work here are very kind and attentive. I was quickly seated, and given a rundown of the menu before the waitress left to get water and utensils. When they returned in 3 minutes they were ready to take my order, and were receptive to my requested modifications to the dish. My steaming hot pho arrived about five minutes after I ordered it. The broth has a great flavor, and didn't seem too salty or oily. The aromatics were fresh, clean and plentiful. My only critique is that the noodles were about 15% overcooked. The restaurant uses noodles that seem a little more substantive than what I'm normally served, which I really liked. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and I'd consider returning to try their other dishes.

The pot stickers and shrimp in a blanket were good, but they tasted pretty much the same as what you'd find at most other places. I ordered the Thai basil entrée, and honestly, it wasn't anything special. It also seemed to have fewer vegetables than what was shown in the photos, which was a little disappointing. It came with rice automatically even though I didn't request it. It also didn't have a broccoli or green beans like the photo showed. It also had cashews in it which makes me just now realize they probably gave me the wrong entree... My husband ordered the fried chicken with fried rice, and that was the standout dish. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and paired really well with the fried rice. We'd definitely order that again! It was pretty small inside, about 8 tables but it was clean.
