Ok, their grand opening sign was on when I went house hunting in the nearby neighborhood back in June 2018 time to remove that sign and show that you're doing good since you're still open y'all! That sign is as tacky as having Christmas lights still on in the mid of July ‍ That being said they got an improvised sign said they got Hue stuffs so I wanna give the place a try. Nice big, opened space restaurant AND even better, a smiling server greeting me yes!!! Now the deduction: when asked the server told me they got nothing Hue except for spicy noodle so spicy noodle (Bun Bo Hue) it is. The broth was alright, the noodle over cooked, the vegetables... Another deduction: I ordered Avocado shake and it was overly sweet. I would've give this place a two for nice server and be like, let's not be here again but I like to be a bit fair and order a couple dishes to go. This place is a 4 stars for me for their fried rice!!!! All that flavor --bbq pork, Chinese/Vietnamese sausage, onion, shrimp, carrot, green peas ...yes! On a drier rice too yay! I will come back for this. Other dish pending on review since I haven't even open the Togo bag: Bo Kho w Rice noodle, will revise if I remember

I ate lunch (12 pm) here with my family. Upon arrival, there was no staff or customers in the restaurant. We waited a good 5 minutes, so we seated ourselves and waited till someone came out. About 5 minutes later the waiter came and gave us our menu. We ordered the banh beo, hu tieu, and pho bo. The banh beo was overcooked. The rice cake is supposed to be soft and moist, but the banh beo we recieved was very dry and difficult to eat. The fish sauce that they gave us was very poor quality. You can see in my picture that the banh beo was very very dry. The hu tieu was very salty. It was almost unbearable to eat. We had to "doctor" it in order for it to be edible. The pho was pretty good! I ordered a size large and it was LARGE. They had a good portion of meat and the broth was very flavorful! Overall, my experience was okay. The pho was pretty good, so if i do come back, it would be for the pho

I love Pho... I mean it is a craving I have probably one a week. I have searched and tried many places but I think i'm going to have to stop soon, because my disappointment only grows. The look of the place is 4, our service was a 5 but the food was a 2 at best. Egg rolls were perfectly cooked but left something to be desired in the flavor category. Spring rolls are chewy and lacked flavor but the peanut dipping sauce was some of the best I've ever had. The Pho was the real disappointment. Every component lacked depth and seasoning. But I will say this, there is a younger girl working there (I forget her name) but she had glasses, braces, and a big smile and she made the experience worth it. She alone had saved this review from being a 2. She was friendly, polite, prompt, and never stopped moving or working the entire time we were there. Her attitude was great and she really is an asset. I won't go back unless I decide to try to recruit her to come work for me.

New pho joint in Arlington. Food portion is huge and it came out pretty quickly. My niece ordered the chicken fried rice. She really enjoyed it. There was so much chicken and rice she ended up taking more than half of it home. I got the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I am pretty picky when it comes to the fish sauce that comes with this dish because most places water it down but here the sauce was flavorful and good. Chicken was nice and juicy. Will be back to try the pho!

The food was okay,,,until I noticed THIS in my soup yes,,,those are flies. Yes I am disgusted and revolted. My fathers food was good (so he said) and so was mine, until I noticed the dead gnats. The service was also pretty mediocre and there was a LACK of vegetarian/vegan options.

If you wanna try this place out, go for it but don't expect anything. My experience was beyond bad. Service: very rude middled-aged man, looked like the owner, never greeted us (expected for a Vietnamese restaurant). Yelled when talk on the phone as WHEN serve us food. Watched videos on phone with MAX VOLUME THE ENTIRE TIME, only stopped when we walked up to pay. Plus never care to check on us. WHAT? I don't know who the owner is or who trained him to work as a server, or he is the owner, but man, this business will go down the drain because of people like him. Food: bun bo hue, the worst among the other bun bo hue in the area. I dont expect good bun bo at a pho place but honestly, you just need to put more bun bo hue seasoning (sold at Ben Thanh market, next to you) and it will be so much better. Portion: the bun is less than the baby bun bo at Duc Chuong for your reference, 1 cha lua, 2-3 pork blood, 2-3 pork fat slices, didnt see any beef. Overall: Service: negative Food: 0 Place: 1 star for new. Why we didn't complain there? Because obviously the "server" didn't seem to care so why should we. I don't tolerate that kind of service. This review is for people who want to know what you might get when you go here. This place needs to hire some good cooks & servers to last. It's ok if the food is bad, but with portions and services like that, good luck keeping the business! Thank you for the bad experience!

You will feel the atmosphere is comfortable and intimate when entering this restaurant. The staff is very cute. The boss is a very nice and gentle person. Try Hue food here, delicious! (Thank you very much for the sweety and passionate Avocado smoothie!)

Stop by pho 18 because a friend recommended the place. The staff was friendly and very attentive! My favorite if all time is the Dat Biet (combination pho).

This is a new restaurant in the Ben Thanh plaza. Used to be many years back pho Hung. Walked in was greeted nicely, they ask for our drink order, and then was left looking through the menu. We decide to order goi Vit, pho tai gan, bun with grilled pork, and rode with grill pork. Love the goi Vit was super yummy right amount of onion to cabbage combination and the ginger sauce was yummy, found my new spot for goi Vit they have two size a small and a large we order the small one. Their grilled meat was flavorful and hot. Pho was good too. We will definitely be back.

I saw this new place open when I was next door eating at another place and I thought I'd try it, looks like a mom and pop shop which I respect a lot! The pho broth was very well seasoned! The meat in the pho was sliced so thin that it melted in my mouth! Very impressed with the pho here, will be coming back for more in the future!
