    Loved the food ,amazing service too. Plus the environment was very welcoming the staff was so help here's a picture of me trying the food

    Ok! I am sooooo excited about this place! Came here on a whim and I'm so glad we did. If you're looking for something healthy, warm and satisfying...this is the place. My friend and I both ordered the same soup, the wonton noodle soup. Delish!!! Omg it was like so good for my soul! We both were in heaven. And guess what? You get a cute little robot that delivers the small dishes to your table. I'm attaching photos - give them a try!

    The food was delicious and the service was great!! The atmosphere was relaxed and music selection was awesome. Definitely coming back here again.

    Charbroiled pork
    Lanze A.

    Solid pho place I thoroughly enjoy. Peak order for me is the Jurassic Pho as well as the charbroiled pork bento. The pho will give you life especially during cold weather. The beef rib was expertly done and you'll regret not having it with your bowl of rich broth. They also have boba with interesting flavors, all worth trying. They have the bit of having a robot bring you your food so there's also a cute gimmick for the kids! They also have Virtual Teakup which has some interesting boba flavors!

    Food was great. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue were very tasty. Their Pho was on the "sweeter" side and the bun Bo hue is on the "saltier" side of the spectrum if you've had them before. My overall pick would be their Pho. The beef rib was delicious and was seasoned very well. I'm glad Bakersfield now has a nice Pho spot! Service was also very efficient which I personally like. The Ambiance is very open and there's a lot of room. I'll definite be back!

    The ambience is really nice and the pictures on the walls are amazing. If you're into art, this is really really nice. They have a lot of photo op backdrops as well. I gave them a four because I came at 5:17 PM and they had fans running instead of having the air-conditioning on. It was warm already. It wasn't too hot, but it was a little bit warm. My Thai tea tasted just right and the beef short ribs were not too chewy kind of the way I like them so it was nice. MOST IMPORTANTLY, an Adorable cat robot delivers your food and drinks to your table. It made me smile so much. I came by myself and I wish I had someone here to take pictures of me in front of this awesomeness.

    Garlic Noodle and veggie spring roll
    Sara B.

    Hm, I really wanted to like this place. Friends and I went out to have pho and then they decided on this place. I think the place is clean and well-kept. They have some cool drink options. The guy at the counter was nice. It's like definitely a casual restaurant which is totally great. Downsides though... 1) Not very many vegetarian or vegan options. So if you or your friends happen to be vegan/vegetarian...options are limited. My vegan friend got the veggie spring rolls, which mind you, are the same price as the shrimp spring rolls. Which brings me to point 2. 2) Value for money. We got 4 veggie spring rolls that were pretty large but uhhhh they were literally filled with lettuce, a cucumber, and some vermicelli. It needs more veggie in there. Like where is the carrot? Some better greens? There is not anything spring about this roll. 3) Taste. I got the garlic noodle and I was so disappointed. Taste-wise, it just falls short of every garlic noodle I have ever tried. 4) The kitty robot serves you. I don't have a problem with the cat robot but I personally think it affects how much I want to tip at the register so FYI. 5) The actual pho itself looks probably the best of all the menu items but it's nothing to write home about. Wouldn't necessarily come back to this place.

    PHO : Pho was good. It's flavorful and aromatic. But a bit salty due to boiling/sitting too long. The broth was a little bit thicker, which it doesn't taste rich/clean/smooth. The regular noodle was mushy and choppy. The portion for the price is very pricy for this bowl. RATE : 3/5 PORK FRIED RICE : taste pretty good with the pork. All the flavor is there. It's lightly seasoned to where you can taste the seasoning. The pork is sweet. It reminds me of sweet chinese sausage. The rice was plump, moist, and firm. But the portion for this price is pretty pricy. RATE : 4/5 AMBIANCE : The shop is really spacious once you walk in. There's a little hangout area/photo booth by the door. They did great on interrior and exterior design. But why is it so hot, humid and stuffy inside? The tables are sticky. The bathroom floor are sticky. There's not much customers, no music, and it's quiet in there. The only music is from the robo cat. SERVICE : Their customer service were horrible. The older gentle men was really ignorant and gives attitude. He doesn't seem to be happy or in a great mood. Besides him, with the heat and self serve water/robo cat is poor too. The water cup was really small so I have to get up a couple time to grab water. OVERALL : Their food is ok/good. With this price, I'm expecting a high class 4 star shop! But with the portion, ambiance, self serve, and poor customer service, I rather go somewhere else. If it was a bit more affordable, I don't mind going back for their basic/mediocre food.

    We were craving pho tonight, and the weather was perfect for it! This place was so clean, the people were so friendly and helpful. Very well priced. Very clean store. And a friendly robot who brings your goodies!

    Kreng K.

    Place looks clean and organized. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Also love the robot server. Portion size is good for the price. However, I did not like a lot of the ones we ordered. Their pho could be better and their noods were meh and other dishes were mediocre to say the least. I don't know if I'll give this place another try nor do I recommend it at all.

    Susana C.

    I'm still on the fence about this place. The food we ordered was pretty basic. The menu is super limited. Ordering is done on the kiosks and a robot brings it out to your table. I think that's probably what I didn't like about this place, was the very limited interaction we had with staff. We weren't greeted, nor asked if we needed any help or checked on after receiving our food. I could see how this would be appealing to some, but I enjoy interacting and getting to know my servers. The restaurant had a modern feel to it, but again it was really just quiet. It was not my favorite experience.

    Vietnamese Sea Salt Coffee

    My husband and I wanted to try something new for our Sunday coffee this morning and stopped by to try the Sea salt Vietnamese coffee. Not only was it great service, the coffee is actually coffee and the flavor is amazing! It is definitely stronger than expected but exactly what I was looking for! 10/10

    Ordered the Jurassic pho today,i always order the same order when i go for pick up. Got home the beef rib was super light than other times as far as meat and the meat wasn't edible like chewing gum as well as the rest of the rare steak,plus the meatballs was cold and and raw and the noodles were super hard to break thinking they had heated the meal enough to eat but was very dissatisfied,So i went back for a refund the the female employee Wynn looked at my bowl dismissed me said i have eaten most of the food and then the hispanic man who only speaks spanish told me i was right when he looked at my bowl and that i have not eaten not even half way but a less than a quarter of the expensive $21.60 bowl,well I proceeded to ask for my refund she said it will arrive in 3-4 business days i asked for proof that i was getting a refund with a receipt .Wynn was getting my refund without a receipt,she told me she cant but if i didn't receive it to come back,i said as a matter of fact let me get my refund back in cash like other food restaurants do,but no she said i got too aggressive for asking it that way..i spoke to her with a firm tone and then i couldn't believe my ears she said she was calling the cops on me???! For what?! For a refund? If this the type of people who would try to throw people in jail for a refund this business needs go reevaluate who they're hiring,im very offended and very disappointed and upset.i lost my appetite and feel embarrassed she put me through this horrible situation.
