The egg rolls were the highlight of our visit but everything else was just blah. We didn't even get the plate all pho establishments give you with the thai basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges, jalapeno or thai chili peppers, cilantro, green onions, sawtooth herb, etc. Nothing guys - Not sure if you just forgot or if its charged as a separate item on the menu. The taste was pretty solid but there were not nearly enough noodles at all. My honest opinion after all of that is your prices are way too high especially for the area. Will not make a 2nd trip!

We went in particular to try the pho and that was a fantastic choice! The flavors were right on the mark, and the option to purchase a small portion was much appreciated (you know how gigantic those bowls of pho can get). The soups come with the typical accoutrements and were equally flavorful and filling. The service is nothing to write home about, just enough to be fine but not noteworthy. We ordered an appetizer of Vietnamese egg rolls which never came, but they ended up removing them from the bill so no harm done just wish we could have tried them. The vibe inside is typical of the surrounding area, a restaurant in a chain of boxes who have decorated their inside to match their own style. There was somewhat of a calming aura about this one. Overall, the food is worth the stop in!

(The place isn't packed) not sure the reasoning. They said it's policy and they give you a number...I came inside to order to go...I have no number. The ambience is cute but the place is small. Keep in mind for large groups. Overall not a bad place, but the weird rules they have are a turn off and make me not really want to come back. Pho Houston, East Ocean, and LE Pho House have better service, and better Pho personally. This one is just close to my house.

I appreciate that you can choose how sweet your tea will be. I got 50%, which was good. I'll probably go down to 25% next time, but that's personal preference. I really loved that the tea was made with fresh fruit. No powders, sweeteners or artificial concentrate. That's usually what I find at most tea places. The teas here are brewed fresh daily and made to order. No bottled teas and you can see exactly what's in your tea. They offer a wild variety of teas, including milk tea. It's about $6-7/drink. A tad steeper than average, but do appreciate the freshness. Will definitely return to try more of their selections.

I ended up waiting over 40 minutes for my food. Several people who arrived after me received their orders first, and two customers who came in after me were actually allowed to dine in, which was confusing since I was told that wasn't an option. When I asked about my order, I was told it would be a few more minutes,but by that point the wait and the inconsistency were really frustrating. I don't mind waiting when it's busy, but the lack of communication and the different rules for different customers made the experience very disappointing.
