    Added chili oil and all the fixings
    Andy V.

    The food here was good. The service was fast, and the ambiance was simple but inviting. It was busy when we got there, looks like a great hangout for all the local students. I had the QQ Wonton Pho special with the Coconut Bliss drink and my son had the Pho Tai and the Watermelon Breeze. We also ordered the Combination Eggrolls to start. Everything was tasty and the chili oil was amazing! Too bad this location is closing at the end of May. Hopefully they find a new location.

    You can't come here and not grab a drink. Their beverage menu is massive, ranging from classic milk teas to more adventurous fruit slushes. They are pretty generous with the sugar, so if you aren't a sweet-tooth, you might want to ask if they can adjust the sweetness level. It's a "casual yet classy" atmosphere. It's clean, the staff is notoriously friendly and the service is usually quick enough for a lunch break. I recommend this spot for food and Boba

Noodles were cooked perfectly, and the steak was tender with no complaints at all, just a really solid bowl of pho. The spring rolls were fresh and well-made, paired nicely with the peanut sauce. Simple but done right. Tried bun bo hue for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The spicy lemongrass broth had great depth without being too heavy or overly citrusy. Loved the mix of beef and pork, it made the dish feel hearty but still balanced. Only minor downside was the noodles, I personally prefer thinner ones, but that's just preference. Overall, everything was great. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and this meal definitely helped, light, comforting, and satisfying. Service was fast, the restaurant was clean, and it had a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

The service also feels unwelcoming at times, particularly from the owner lady, which seems reflected in the frequent changes in wait staff. I'd love to keep supporting the business for the food, but the overall experience has become too hit-or-miss to return.

The addition of extra steak on the side made it even more satisfying the meat was tender, plentiful, and really boosted the overall heartiness of the bowl. Super comforting and filling without weighing me down. The shrimp spring rolls were another highlight rolled tightly with fresh herbs, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of shrimp. They tasted refreshing and balanced, perfect with the dipping sauce. You could tell everything was made fresh. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Our food came out quickly even as the restaurant started to get busy. Ambiance was bright and welcoming, with nice modern lighting features at the entrance that gave the place a lively, yet relaxed feel. It's clearly a popular spot, since it filled up quickly after we arrived.

    Called in last minute to make reservation, was so nice to get the table ready for me within 40…read moreminutes for 7 people. Ordered pho, shaking beef, banh xeo, and others that I could not remember. Their pho was good, big portion and full of meat. Unfortunately the sirloin was overcooked and the other parts of the meat have too much fats in them, so it was down on the score. Their shaking beef was also meh, very thin and overly sweet, probably not their strongest dish. Banh xeo was full of meat and fillings, but not particularly crispy. All in all, it was tasty but only lacking a bit here and there. Their service was pretty good though. Their restaurants are also huge, which is a plus.

    I was a big fan of this place when it first opened and used to rave about their pho. Unfortunately,…read moremy visit on 5/2 was a huge letdown. From the moment I walked in, the service began with a bad start. The staff were chatting and joking behind the counter and too distracted to notice me. I had to grab a menu myself and ask in a loud tone if I could sit anywhere just to get their attention. Once seated, it took nearly 10 minutes for a server to come by. I ordered a boba drink and pho with brisket. The server returned after another 8 minutes to say they were out of both the boba flavor I wanted and the brisket. After I reordered, the replacement boba arrived extremely sweet -- basically tasted like watered-down sugar syrup with almost no tea flavor. The pho was even more disappointing.. the broth was watery and bland, there was very little beef, and the bowl was light on noodles and toppings. It felt like a shadow of what they used to serve. It's sad to see a spot that was once one of the best pho places in Salinas (in my opinion) decline this sharply. The restaurant was unusually empty, and the few other customers looked just as unimpressed. I understand rising food and restaurant operating costs, but cutting quality this much will only drive more people away. I rarely leave negative reviews and I don't consider myself to be such a picky eater, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. I'm not sure I'll be back.
