    #17. Steak, Brisket, Flank, Tendon, and Tripe Large size

    Just moved to white center and am on the lookout for a go-to pho spot. Decided to try this spot first and boy was I disappointed. There is no "all meat cuts" combo. The restaurant was not busy but my pho took longer to come out than expected. I was not given a single napkin and there were none on the table. Additionally, I had to grab the condiments myself from another table as mine did not have any. The lady at the register was not the nicest or attentive. The pho broth itself just tasted salty and lacked the aroma of spices. I will say, the steak/brisket/flank meat was fresh and soft. That was the only highlight of this meal. The tendon had a very weird fatty aftertaste to it and I usually love tendon. Don't think I will be returning.

    Haven't been here in years but the pho broth was so good when I went. Quick service. Probably wouldn't ordered the Vietnamese coffee if I knew it was the bagged one but really good pho. The lady working was very nice. I thought she was Vietnamese so I was ordering in Vietnamese. She is not lmaoo. I usually just get steak and tripe but I ordered #15 which came with steak, tripe, flank and tendon. Ugh so good.

    in-dining bowl of pho totally hit the spot on a 41 degree day. Stopped by with 2 other friends. The store is totally respectful of COVID protocols. Order first at the cashier and then find a table. I order the #5 - Steak and Flank Noodle Soup. The broth was deep and had a subtle sweetness. Noodle were just right and loose (not all bunched up). Siracha was available at the table. Unexpected for a random shop on the corner, but I could tell that repeat customers drive for miles to come here.

    If I were to show you my Uber Eats past orders, we would embarrassingly be on here... a lot. Like we order from them twice a month, easily. We've loved almost everything on the menu, but really enjoyed the rice, pot stickers, and BBQ pork sandwich. The rice is so filling it usually takes me 2 days to eat, which is awesome for leftovers. Worth the price!

The staff gave us the perfect amount of time to look over the menu and decide what we wanted. We ordered the Spicy Beef Soup with mild spice, and it was delicious. The portions were perfect, although I was definitely shocked when it first came out in what looked like a huge bowl! We also tried the Special Prime Rib Dry Noodles, and the meat was incredibly tender--it practically fell off the bone. Everything was reasonably priced, especially compared to another noodle restaurant we had considered. The passion fruit tea was also delicious and was the perfect complement to the spicy noodles. It quenched our thirst and helped cool down the heat. We also ordered the scallion pancakes, which were good, although I wish there had been a little more scallion. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. Overall, a great spot for noodles with generous portions, friendly service, and reasonable prices.

Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.

This seems to be an ongoing theme of Japanese food places in the U.S. - the portion sizes of this place is insane. It felt like a basin of soup and the outside table we sat at could barely hold our two bowls plus the salad we ordered. At the counter I ordered the "Tomato Niku-Tama" and poured some water from the self-serve station. The soup base was good and the udon was ok. I wish the noodles had a bit more chew and bounce to it, it felt like my noodles were slightly well done. Appreciated that if you dine in, the udon was served with a complimentary chawan-mushi, pickled cabbage, ginger, & Azuki jelly. The udon bowl was enough food but the sides were a great addition. Staff seem to hear exclamation of the size often and pleasantly giggled at our reactions and of the other patrons. Udon depending on the bowl ranges from $21-$25 each. Eventually will come back to try the other dishes on the menu, very reminiscent of the childhood meals my Dad would make.

We came back another time on a weekday, still a big line, but a bit shorter. We waited about 45 mins before our turn came. Ordered: 1) Classic Ramen (Regular, Mild, Thick noodles): I wanted to share with my 5 year old. I felt the broth could have been thicker. It was a bit light and not very filling for me, compared to other ramen places I have been to back in California. The flavor was definitely good though. Apparently there was some mix-up, because I felt they gave us medium spicy, my husband's ramen (medium spicy) and ours tasted exactly the same. It ended up being too spicy for my kid. She hardly ate any noodles, complaining it was spicy even after I separated them from the broth. I didn't complain to the restaurant since they were super busy that day, and honestly it was almost 10PM and we were starving and out of patience. 2) Classic Ramen (Regular, Medium Spicy, Thick noodles) 3) Vegan Gyoza: This was good. My 5 year old finished it all. 4) Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream: We loved it. We got 2 pieces in one order and savored every bite. The restaurant had limited seating and had typical ramen place vibes. The servers weren't very attentive; we kept trying to find someone who could help us at multiple instances. They seemed super busy and short-staffed. So not a great experience in terms of service, but for the food I would give a solid 4/5.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.

The clay pot rice was okay - the pricing is fair but the execution could be a bit better. I felt like the rice was a bit lacking in flavor, and they only have the standard soy sauce, not the ones in a sauce tray that is usually a bit sweeter. The salt and pepper fried fish filet was good - definitely recommend that for the taste and value. The noodle soup was also good - the wontons were okay but I loved the beef brisket. Noodles seem to be handmade as the texture is a bit uneven, but I appreciate these types of noodles more. Service is standard for a Chinese restaurant - you just need to flag them down and requests are fulfilled in a timely manner
