    Pho
    Shirl C.

    Overall, this place is a legit Vietnamese restaurant! My hubs loves the regular pho with tai- rare eye round steak. We've only been here twice and I was really impressed by the broth and amount of meat that comes in each bowl. I don't typically get pho...if I can find it, I love getting the quarter chicken leg that is broiled. This time, I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and ordered the Bun Cha. It reminded me of a deconstructed pho/vermicelli bowl. It's similar to soba, where you take some noodles and dip it in the sauce. The meat (meatballs and pork belly), while the picture shows is separate from the sauce, was in the bowl, which was fine and tasted great. The noodles were on the side and sticky, so instead of taking little servings of the noodles at a time, I decided to dump them into the bowl of sauce. The dish also comes with lettuce, basil leaves and cilantro. The meatballs were full of flavor and seemed made in house (different from the standard meatballs that typically go in the pho). Service was quick and friendly. The only thing I noticed could be a bit better is the cleanliness of the restaurant. There were quite a few spots (maybe from the broth) or some other liquids on the wall, that looks like it had been there for awhile. Other than that, the decor is cute.

    Pho Lucky has the pho challenge where you get a giant bowl of pho and try to eat it all in an hour. Their goi cuon (spring rolls) are so good that I'd come back just for this appetizer. The pork in their bun noodles was also very good.

    Spring rolls with shrimp, pork, and veggies in a thin wrapper, served with a complementary sauce.

    I've had pho only a few times and was eager to try this place. Later in the evening, most guests were finishing up their meals when I dropped by. I had pho on my mind and thought ordering would be easy. Who knew there would be so many versions available - all involving combinations of beef? I went with the noodle soup with rare beef eye round steak. It was served with Thai Basil, sprouts, and jalapenos on the side so that guests could adjust how much flavoring and crunch they would like with their pho. I loved the freshness of the basil, the tender noodles, and the crunchy sprouts. The bowl was huge but wasn't too filling. However, I did not like that the noodles were clumpy. In addition to the pho, I had the spring rolls, a shrimp, pork, and veggie mixture wrapped and rolled like a cigar, and fried. It was so crisp and filling. And of course, I had to have the Thai ice tea, which was such a treat. Service was okay. It took a while before someone took my order or brought me my bill. The restaurant might be understaffed given how packed the restaurant was.

    Met my friend for lunch at Pho Lucky. She'd been there the day before and enjoyed the food so much, she wanted me to try it. What a treat! The Beef Pho was excellent with a rich broth and plenty of beef and vegetables. We also ordered the springs rolls, which were crunchy and flavorful. My friend had sampled the peach iced tea on her first visit and liked it so that's what I ordered. I'm glad I did. It was so refreshing and delicious. This restaurant is a very popular place. We arrived shortly after it opened, but it quickly filled up closer to noon. The service was good so the turnaround was reasonable. No one had to wait for a table. There was also a sizable carryout business going on. I'll definitely return.

    Met up with friends for dinner. We got lot of different items, but I did get P2, their regular pho with meat, along with summer rolls and autumn rolls to share. The autumn roll was good, enjoyed the crunchiness of the roll, definitely would recommend you give this a try. Was disappointed with their summer roll - made mostly with noodles (95%+) with a slice of pork and leaf lettuce. Their Pho broth was excellent, the best I had thus far amongst all the Pho places that I've visited. Service was quick and fast, food came out quickly. The dining room is divided into two areas, small area by the main entrance and larger dining area to the left of the entrance. Another disappointment - we couldn't order Bahn mi, as they did not have it on the day we visited.

    We ordered the P6 (pho with cooked meat) and it was very flavorful and delicious. This place has been very consistent with delicious Pho and fast service. However I did notice they need to tidy up the place.

    delicious stop for pho every time. love this pho joint! however, the bowls did get smaller. but the soup is super tasty nonetheless! service with a smile. and always very helpful. the day we went was super busy which is good to see since new ownership is underway! appetizers were brought after pho was served though.

    This location is always clean and service is prompt and attentive. I enjoy the metal cups and bowls. The serving size is big and delicious. A great stop for a yummy meal. Don't miss the summer rolls with a to die for peanut sauce as dip!

    One of our favorite places to eat.. We were disappointed again that they were short of help, resulting in delayed and poor service. We went at about 1 pm and it was very crowded with only 2 servers. We had to request water, napkins, the usually included side dishes/ condiments, and the check. They didn't refill our water or come to check on us. Otherwise, the food was good. We ordered the P1, P14,& Spring rolls. Hopefully service will be better next time.

    Update... had the regular P10 last night and it was soooo much more flavorful and full. My daughter had a small P6 and normally can't finish but this round she slurped it all down.

    Pho with rare beef
    Greg G.

    This has been my go to spot for pho with my daughter for the past few years. The food is always good and the service is just the same. We used to go more often, but I have been trying not to spend as much on dining out. I guess we have gotten to the point where the staff knows our order. We always order a P2 and a P7, Pho with rare beef for me and Pho with Meatballs for my daughter. They give you a plate with fresh herbs, jalapeño, lime, and sprouts to top the Pho. This may not be the top rated or fanciest pho in the world, but it has been very consistent and comforting. The rare beef is so nice and tender, the meatballs are bouncy and soft. The broth is always fragrant, especially with a bit of Siracha and hoisin. If I had any criticism it would be that the decor could be updated. But overall this has been the place to go for pho, if you have a craving.

    I enjoy the pho here on my every visit, it's very flavorful. Also this visit I had their jackfruit smoothie ... I was expecting it to be more on the sweeter side like a more ripped jackfruit ... Service s quick and fast... ambiance s since and simple .. a good place for a quick lunch or dinner ..

The menu is strong but limited, which I kind of like- limits decision fatigue, especially after a long day. I ordered the nigiri combo, for the cause. Nigiri is something I've only really gotten into this year, so I'm not an expert, but I know what I like and what I don't. Soft, sticky rice that feels fresh and adhesive but not clumpy, fresh smelling and looking fish. The California roll was a California roll. The nigiri was great however. The shrimp in particular was light and almost creamy tasting? I know that sounds odd but I mean it in a good way. The rest of the fish was good. I even tried eel (this is big for me) for the cause! It was rich and fatty, but not in an unpleasant way as I feared. It was pleasantly sauced, so I was able to try it sans soy sauce and was pleased! I *really* liked the soy sauce here, although they don't give you very much. They also are a bit stingy with the ginger. This was my first time trying tamago, which is a delicately sweetened egg roll stuffed with rice. If you're not used to it, you have to get over the look and just go for it! It's yummy! The restroom was clean but smelled faintly of cigarettes. To be honest... I didn't mind that. It kind of fit with the vibe and gave the restaurant a "real" "edgy" feel, although some people may not appreciate it. The interior is kind of messy and unkempt, but if you keep your eyes on the prize- the food- you'll leave happy!

It's very close to the former suburban showplace and located in a strip mall. There was availability in the shared parking lot. When we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the decor and layout of the restaurant. It was busy but only had to wait for a few minutes for them to get a table ready. There were seats at the bar which seemed like a good atmosphere if you chose to sit there. We sat by the window in a 4 top for just the 2 of us. My seat was comfy on a bench. There were many items on the menu that we wanted to try but asked our server for recommendations. My husband ordered wonton soup for appetizer and then Mongolian beef. I ordered the Thai basil chicken. We ate it all! Everything was flavorful and hot in temperature and served just at the right amount of pace. I also ordered the white flower cocktail, it was good and can't quite determine what part of it had a little kick to it! We ordered hot tea for our dessert, they certainly know how to make jasmine tea just right! Restrooms were clean and it's a cozy yet a little upscale vibe but not dressy. I was worried as I had my Star Wars t-shirt on but I layered with a sweater! We will definitely return as I'd like to splurge and try the Hong Kong short ribs!

I love the straw hats suspended from the restaurant ceiling and mural towards the front. I've been to the Novi location, so I was familiar with the menu and quickly ordered the spring roll and the house special pho, with extra meat, before finding an open seat. Large families already filled tables, all enjoying their bowls. In short order, the crispy spring rolls were delivered. I liked the savoury filling and crunchy texture, as well as the sweet sauce. Also delivered were bean sprouts, basil leaves, jalapeno disks, and a lime wedge, which accompanied the pho so you could dress your pho to your liking. The broth was a bit bland, even with all the extras. Next time, I would like to try both the papaya salad and banh mi. Service was okay.
