We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. There's a little bench to sit on while waiting. The doorway becomes crowded with people either waiting or coming in to pick up orders. The servers were great- very friendly and on top of things. We had the chicken pho- which was good sized and tasty. The Spicy Thai Basil was also good. Although there might be some spiciness in the sauce, it really wasn't noticeable. I'd recommend keeping some jalapeños in the mix or on the side for a little more spiciness.

As a person who was spoiled by Vietnamese cuisine in Little Saigon and actual Saigon, I've had a…read morehard time in Rockford. I saw pho 815 and was immediately hopeful. Had to give it a shot. Staff and service are great. Restaurant is nice, loved the Vietnamese easy listening music. Made me feel at home. That's where the positives ended. I have never seen Vietnamese food cost so much and I've eaten in bougie Vietnamese Fusion places in Irvine and DTLA. This in itself isn't enough to take away stars, but the rest is. I ignored the prices and ordered a ton of food for takeout. Spring rolls, shrimp rolls, all 3 sandwiches on the menu, and the Bun Tom Thit Nuong. When I got there, I found out that they were running out of bread...actually, running out of everything. More on that later. To be fair, they did try to call me back but I'm the only person in Rockford that doesn't use their phone while driving and I intend to keep it that way. It's unacceptable that the person who took my order didn't know what they had. It's even more unacceptable that they ran out of bread. It's like running out of rice. I feel like par levels are crucial to a restaurant. Anyway, fine. Instead of three sandwiches, I'll have just the Banh Mi Dac Biet and replace the other two with specialty Pho. Just a pro tip, everything I ordered are good indicators as to whether a Vietnamese restaurant is legit or not. They are staples. Now, on to the actual food. The Spring Rolls and shrimp rolls are perfectly fine. Not the freshest, but perfectly acceptable. Approved. The sandwich was a travesty. First of all, never slice the bread all the way through. We don't do that. It keeps the sandwich from falling apart (i mean there's shredded pickled veggies). Too much soy sauce, not enough butter and I could barely see the cold cuts. paying $8 for this felt like robbery. Eating this sandwich made me want to fly to Westminster, CA for Banh Mi Cali. The Bun Tom Thit Nuong had me conflicted. The grilled shrimp and the egg rolls were delicious. The grilled meat tasted more Korean than Vietnamese. I love Korean food, but not when I want Vietnamese. The veggies were not fresh and the noodles actually didn't make it through the night in the fridge. The dish tasted spoiled the next day, which again raises concern about freshness. Finally, on to the Pho. This dish is the namesake of the restaurant and is the poster child of Vietnamese cuisine. It was a sin against my ancestors. It was super fragrant and aromatic. Had me drooling on the way home. However, the broth was bland and tasteless. I added the hoisin sauce and Sriracha and that's all I could taste. I have suspicions of how the broth was prepared but I won't speculate without proof. I just wish I had a bag of MSG to empty into the broth. The tripe in Vietnamese food is usually delicately sliced and cooked longer until soft. This might be a matter of preference though. I did find the meatballs delicious. The beef good as well. Overall, I cannot justify coming back. There are non-vietnamese asian restaurants that serve better Vietnamese food. That makes me sad.

I ordered a bowl of their vegan broth with additional veggies, added alongside the rice noodles and tofu. It was packed with broccoli, carrots, sprouts and basil. My sister ordered the chicken pho and was equally pleased. I loved seeing how they had their kids helping with the business and everyone was so friendly.

The gal at the counter repeated our order: Vermicelli bowl with shrimp skewer, no noodles and my partners order. We sat down, food came and we finished. My partner looks at receipt and asks me what is the extra charge after my item for 3.00? We asked the owner and she said it was because we gave you extra veggies. We told her we only asked for no noodle. She said that there used to be a sign that said they charge extra and we said there is no sign and we didn't ask for it anyhow. We only didn't want Noodles. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "oh well". I said politely that you really should refund the 3.00. Anyhow, she shook her head. I responded that we won't be back. Very poor business.

I ordered the following: 1) basil fried rice ($15) 2) hot and sour soup ($5) 3) broken rice with bbq pork ($19) ** Bonus, free egg rolls The price is ok, but the portion is small. 1) basil fried rice barely had any basil flavor, the broccoli took away any flavor left. The rice is soggy and the bamboo shoot seem like it comes out of a can. 2) hot and sour soup lack has some flavor. Still missing the sour part. Im addition, it is very thick, I think it has too much starch added to it. 3) the broken rice is not made with broken rice. It's made with the same rice as everything else. The bbq pork is drive, again lack seasoning. The fish sauce is so sweet. It's missing the salty part and flavorfulness. I think 3 stars is fair.
