    Server wasn't speaking in English, so we communicated using the ancient art of "pointing at photos". Ordered the Spring Rolls and Grilled Pork Chops. Got the Korean Ribs instead. Didn't mind really. Tried and Tested? Yes. I wasn't in the discovering new cuisine mood that Sunday, but was really hungry. These brought home dishes satiated that and more. The convenient location, generous serving and the reasonable pricing would probably make me return for more.

    This place was SO flavorful! They specialize in beef rib pho, but I ordered the rare steak pho, and the broth was incredibly rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor. A lot of pho places serve broth that tastes watered down, but this was the complete opposite..you could taste the depth in every spoonful. I also ordered the macaroni shaken beef, which was equally delicious. It came with a slightly vinegary dipping sauce that complemented the beef perfectly and honestly took the whole dish to another level They even have banana-flavored soju, which I had never seen before! I love anything banana-flavored, so that was such a fun and interesting find. Overall, I left extremely satisfied and would absolutely come back!

    Spicy Garlic Butter Chicken Wings

    The service was friendly and organized. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Nice decor, high ceilings and even outdoor seating. The food came out quick. Started off with a Heineken, coconut drink, and watermelon drink that they actually blended down real watermelon. Nice touch. Got the Cha Gio Re and the Spicy Garlic Butter Chicken Wings for app. The cha gio re was different. The use some type of netting to roll the eggrolls then fried. The filling was really good. Chicken Wings was ok, it was fried a bit much and the sauce was so so. The Pho Dac Biet was good, not the best I've had, but not bad. The broth was pretty aromatic and had lots of meat. The Mango Seafood salad was refreshing. But didnt have alot of seafood on it at all. I give this place 8/10.

    Decided to switch up our Vietnamese restaurant rotation. The netted egg rolls were what motivated this dine in. Very crispy egg rolls, but little filling. Felt as if I were eating just the shell. If they added more meat it would've been perfect. Got the beef rib pho. 3 ribs, generous with a clean and smooth broth. The bowl was huge and the broth stayed piping hot the whole stay. Shaken beef was tasty and so were the fish sauce wings. Nice quick service.

    Pork chop broken rice

    Love me some pho that have outside, dog friendly patio access. The menu is quite vast with many different pho, rice, bun options including fresh noodles. Service was very friendly and they have a happy hour 20% off discount (3-5:30pm weekdays) for all pho, bun and rice dishes. Restaurant is nicely decorated and there is a large dog friendly patio. Free parking as part of strip mall. We order both pho and rice dishes - the portions were very generous, the dishes came beautifully laid out and flavors were pretty good. I still prefer OG Pho Hanoi on soup and meat quality but this is a good option for good value also.

    A solid 3.5 star but bumping to 4 because of their attentive service and a clean vibrant environment. I was pleasantly surprised that they serve broken white rice as many restaurants pulled away from their menus. The beef rib pho was 3/5. The broth could use a little bit more work (perhaps less diluted and more time simmering). The grilled pork chop rice plate looked great from a presentation standpoint but the chops were toooo thinnly sliced, making them a bit dried and tough to chew. Otherwise, the flavors were spot on. If they have to cut cost, I personally would prefer a thicker cut, more juicy chop with one less slice.

    We had a wonderful experience! The place was easy to find, and although the indoor seating looked a little small, we decided to sit outside--and it was perfect, with a nice, light breeze. The food was reasonably priced for the portions, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Our waiter was also very nice, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

    I ordered a Pho with rare and flank. I arrived around 1pm, there was no line to get a table and more than enough seats outside. The pho broth was good but the meat quality wasn't good :( The meat was dry, overcooked and crumbly. They did play really good kpop music and was quiet enough to have a conversation. Lots of green onion in the broth and just enough noodles. There is a 4% discount if you pay in cash!

    I saw this place because I saw some food bloggers on social media recommend this place in addition to living near the area. I didn't know what to get so I got two items and assume I'd come back next time to try the other items. I loved the food and service by the way.

    Lobster with xo sauce
    Ray T.

    The netted spring rolls was on point! Absolutely delicious flavor and texture, sauce was flavorful and paired very well. Lobster with xo sauce was savory and the com tam pork was great too. Pho was decent, but didn't stand out compared to the other foods.

    Late night at Pho This Way and it was still packed -- good sign. The pho had really good flavor in the broth, and the noodles were fresh flat rice noodles, not the mushy pre-packaged kind. Also got the broken rice dish and the portion was huge, really well done. Great late night spot. 5 stars, will be back.

    Pho on top and shaking beef with garlic noodles on bottom
    Dianna P.

    VERY happy! I know there are so many options around here that we've had before, but on this day we decided to try Pho This Way where we were able to be seated immediately for a Saturday lunch. It smells delicious as soon as you walk in and even better tasting. I originally wanted pho but I decided to get the shaking beef with garlic noodles and it was a huge portion size and very flavorful. I'm also glad they used good quality beef. I also tried my husband's pho and their broth is exactly how I like my pho broth to be. Personally, I'm no pho connoisseur but I think this one might be the better pho options around here lol.

    Great tasting food. Pretty much what you would get in most Vietnamese places. Lots of choices from traditional pho to seafood choices. Very nice service. The place is nice and clean and has lots of tables for small or big parties. Great place. Serving is very big.

I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER. The noodles are thick, chewy, and springy, and they pair really well with the jajang (black bean) sauce. There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby. Would definitely recommend if you like or want to try jajangmyeon!

The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.
