    pleasantly surprised by this place because i feel like asian food in indy has not been hitting that hard. there's a little parking lot available, so no need to stress about parking. upon walking in, we were greeted and seated right away. the server was very nice and attentive. our food came out shortly after. first sip of the broth and i was like WOW... it has such a strong flavor. the meat could've been more tender but that's okay. will be back to try more dishes!

    We've came to eat here a few times before and every time Alan and Kenny are always so welcoming and kind when we come to dine in or even to order take out. They have the best Combination Vermicelli Bowls, Well Done Beef Pho, Banh Mi sandwiches, fresh Crab Rangoons, and hot Jasmine tea. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed. They have free parking and there is plenty of parking on both sides of the building.

    This Vietnamese restaurant was probably the first pho restaurant in Indiana. It's a bit of a local hole in the wall, family owned. I love their pho. I went for lunch today. The menu is a blend of Pho, Chinese and a bit of Thai. There are noodle and rice dishes with any meat or veggie options. A few specialty plates were also available. The servers are very friendly and know the regulars by name. The restaurant is almost upscale inside with subdued lighting and music. Alan, our server, checked on us multiple times. Our food came out quickly. I ordered the Veggie Pho with Tofu. The generous bowl of broth was delicate and hot! The tofu was baked and light. The vegetables were super fresh. I topped off the bowl with bean sprouts and cilantro. There was so much pho that I took half home. (Alan packed my soup up nicely to go.). My husband had the Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich off the appetizer menu. The beef was tender with fresh bread and vegetable. He loved it. There's parking beside the building. Getting out of the lot can be a challenge with the traffic. I recommend. I'll return.

    Overall the food and service was decent. Chili oil could have some spice - it didn't have any zing whatsoever. The place I typically go to sets my mouth on fire with the smallest amt so that was a tad disappointing, but they do offer other spicy condiments. Spring roll was a bit dry in rice paper and a little airy. Pho was hot and good and didn't mess with my stomach too much. I also like that they offer parsley as a topping unlike the places I've gone to before. Bowl makes it hard to pour into the to go container so I made a slight mess. Service was quick and place was clean. Finally got a chance to try it out, and wasn't disappointed, just expect a tad more flavor with the price range.

    Wonderful lunch at this unassuming restaurant! Ordered vegetarian spring rolls, Vietnamese grilled chicken and chicken pho. Wonderful, fresh and great quality. Spring rolls had fresh vegetables that had a lot of crunch to them, grilled chicken was excellent but the pho was the star (surprise). Fresh tray of cilantro, Thai basil, lime and bean sprouts was provided. You can see in the photo how vibrant the vegetables were. Service was prompt, our order was altered based on their recommendations, glad we followed his suggestions!!

    Oh my goodness this is the best pho my son and I have had ANYWHERE. Service was excellent. The ambient music creates a very relaxed environment. Come here! You won't be disappointed. Also the Thai tea is amazing!

    The nicest people you'll ever meet! The server told us "ask for anything anytime I'm happy to have you!" Then the cook came out and asked us how the food was and thank you for our business. The food was very very flavorful. An explosion of ingredients in your mouth. It's comfort food, sweet and spicy. The bathrooms are clean and smell pleasant.

    I'd been waiting to try this spot for some time; finally made it in today to grab a carry out order. The gentleman at the counter warmly welcomed me and help me decide between the veggie beef or tofu pho. I I paid and sat down at a table to wait. There were a couple of tables dining in, but what was most remarkable was how clean the restaurant is. It's evident that this is a priority. Another gentleman brought me my order in just a few minutes and thanked me again. When I arrived at my destination, I tried the spring rolls first. They were delicious, with fresh vegetables and rice noodles. The peanut sauce was delightful as well. Later, I reheated the broth and enjoyed my pho. The amount of food I received was enough to make two meals! For just over $20, it's an excellent value. The vegetables and noodles again were all very fresh, and the broth was amazingly flavorful for a veggie base. I'm not sure "what the pho" took me so long to try this little spot, but I'll certainly be back again soon!

    It's the newest neighborhood place for casual Chinese food. It is a popular takeout spot. New China…read moredoes a busy delivery business with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and probably others. Today, I decided to have an eat-in experience. They have 6 four-top tables along with 1 table that sits 8 guests. There's a TV that usually plays ABC News Live. Tonight is no exception. The cashier stops at the table to check on me and ensure my meal is satisfactory. It's good food at a reasonable price and their restaurant is clean. (I did not visit the restroom.) if you're interested in basic Chinese food--they do have Egg Foo Yung with all the different meats. (EFY is not an option for a Combo meal.) This restaurant is a good option.

    I'd give it a solid 3.5. I didn't take a picture of the sad…read morelittle baby spring rolls... bless it, but they were tasteless. The orange chicken was really good - like, I'd order that again without hesitation. They give you plenty! I don't even know how I'm going to eat all the leftovers. I was expecting the small to be... well, small. Anyway. The pepper steak was just okay. It lacked flavor for me. And of course, lots of giant peppers instead of slicing them down...and a crap ton of veggies without much steak. But that's typical. The shrimp fried rice... Tasteless. I don't usually like to add more soy sauce to my food (and I didn't), but you're gonna need to drizzle the sauce from one of the other meals onto it or SOMETHING because homegirl was tasteless. Disappointing. The shrimp and broccoli was fine - exactly what you'd expect. Everything was packaged well, so I'd say attentive service for takeout. Not sure what it looks like on the inside/bathrooms/cleanliness, etc. since we did takeout, but I would go back for the orange chicken unless I find a place with better + solid shrimp fried rice. P.S. Remember when they used to automatically put eggs in the fried rice without you having to pay extra? I miss those days.
