LolThis is my favorite pho spot in Arizona and trust me I've been to plenty. The dining room is rather quiet, no music just light talking amongst tables. It's usually busy everyday. Sadly they are closed on Tuesdays and Fridays so make sure you don't try those days. Cheap, delicious, and a must have in Phoenix. As long as I live here I will always be a loyal customer

The spring rolls were delicious, fresh, and the peanut sauce on the side gave it a good touch. The egg rolls were hot and crispy. The pork fried rice was flavorful and more then enough for us three to share. The pho's were both really good.

Other than that, the flavors were good and even better with hoisin and sriracha sauce. This is a family run business. The place is clean and orderly.

We came around 12:30 PM on Saturday and our orders came out pretty quickly. We got the pho tai (rare steak), goi ga (Vietnamese chicken salad), and the fried pork egg rolls. The pho was just okay. The broth was pretty bland and lacked a depth of flavor but the noodles were a good texture and the portion was good for the price. The egg rolls were crispy and good but nothing super special. The goi ga was my favorite!! Refreshing, light, flavorful, and the portion was HUGE. I got a medium and couldn't even finish it all and for only $10 it was such a steal. I would 100% come back for the goi ga and would love to try some of their other dishes since it's so affordable but I wouldn't get the pho again.

I'm awesome! Thank you! Wish I had room to order! For dinner we did: - Filet Spring Roll - Chuck Norris Spring Roll - grandma Trans firecracker wings - Crispy Rice on sizzling plate with Filet My words cannot describe how amazingly delicious it all was. The spring rolls were equally filling, flavorful, refreshing, and savory! Flavor explosion! The firecracker wings drenched in the spicy sauce was so good, we kept dipping some of our kids fries in the sauce! Lastly the Crispy Rice dish with filet, WOW! A bite of that, with some broth on the side. I couldn't easily swear it's one of the most savory dishes I've had in AZ. What a hidden gem! On top of this, as a parent, it's always stressful eating outside of your own home with your kiddos, but the staff/owners were so accommodating, I felt comfortable and grateful! They were so nice and my 3Yo is wild, but they didn't make us feel bad and they continued to smile and even give him a high five as we left. The location is clean and vibey, and we were all comfortable the whole time. So glad this fam came FOB in 1981 and hope they continue to rock it because they deserve it! What a great location and so glad we went. Can't wait to go back.

The place is very clean inside, nicely decorated, and had background music playing (I hate places that are dead silent). A nice spot for me and my girlfriend to enjoy our lunch and talk over a bowl of pho. I was intrigued by the veggie pho because they used baby corn, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and asparagus. I don't really like vegetable broth so I asked if the broth could be their beef broth which they said was ok. My girlfriend had the chicken pho like she usually does and we shared a spring roll. I have to say that I was blown away with how delicious my pho was. It had such a nice clean beef flavor that you love when enjoying pho. The vegetables worked incredibly, but I' sure any of their beef options are stellar (I just wanted veggies). No doubt one of the more memorable broths that's I've had in a long time! My girlfriend's pho was also super flavorful and had a nice aroma as well. She ended up eating all the broth and had a bunch of leftover noodles and chicken. I would really recommend not serving the chicken diced in cubes because you can't get those nice chopsticks full of noodles and chicken. The roll we ordered was good, but probably not something I'd get again. They use filet mignon for it, but I think I would prefer to have them use a less expensive cut and give me 2X the meat. Finally our server Enrique was cool and very attentive and let us know about their Sunday pho special which was great. This place might not be as traditional as the other places where you see the entire family working and have the beat up menus, but it's they definitely make pho worth checking out for yourself.

We were a table for two on a Thursday night and did not have a reservation so we were not sure how long the wait would be, but we ended up waiting only about 10 minutes! From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted, given a place to wait and two cups of water to drink. Upon arriving at our table, the waiter asked if we would like drinks and if we would like the outdoor fan on since it was still a hotter night in Arizona. We each started off with Thai teas and they were delicious. I thought that there was a hint of marshmallow-y flavor at the end of every drink (I'm not sure if that is a common descriptor) but I enjoyed it. My only critique here was that there could have been more ice, but I love my drinks ice cold so that's just personal preference. We ordered the Yum het tod and Nua num tok as our appetizers and my goodness, they were phenomenal. In both dishes the sauces absolutely stole the show. I tried to get as much sauce on every mushroom and piece of steak that I could. The steak dish was one of the best and most uniquely complex dishes I've ever had in my life. Each bite is dripping with flavor and every ingredient on your plate adds a new feeling and taste in your mouth. It felt like an explosion in my mouth. Upon finishing the dish, I asked that we could keep the plate so that I could keep dipping the mushrooms, and potentially my entrees, in the leftover sauce. As for the mushrooms, for any mushroom haters, please put your feelings aside and try these with an open mind. The mushrooms were not chewy or overtly meaty and they were completely transformed by the thin battered that they were coated in. As for our entrees we ordered the Panang curry and the Pad kee mao. Both were good, but after having the flavor explosion that was the Nua num tok, I was almost underwhelmed by the simple flavor profile of the Pad kee mao (even though I did still enjoy it). The curry was also tremendous as the braised beef pulled apart with ease and the sweet curry was a nice change of pace. I truly could not recommend this restaurant enough. Anyone coming from out of state (or anyone trying to impress a date) should come here immediately. I will be back.
