    Grateful for my friends telling me about this place. It's a True hole in the wall that was worth the drive! I've been craving for my mom's cooking, specifically ca kho and canh chua. OMG they had it at this restaurant, and it was so good. They have many traditional dishes that my mom made for us in the past, so we'll have to come back. Service was great! The only thing that we wouldn't get here again are the desserts which were incredibly sweet.

    I got a to go order! The place is nice and casual inside. The cashier was friendly and the service was fast! I really like that they had vegan options! I ordered a banh mi and spring rolls and they were both delicious!

    I've eaten at What The Pho many times and the food is always delicious. This Vietnamese eatery, though it boasts a quite wide-ranging menu, is a favorite because of its fresh and flavorful food, in addition to its fresh fruit juices. The food's freshness and outstanding deliciousness are consistent. There's something for everyone to enjoy, whether it's a hearty bowl of pho, a classic banh mi (BOGO deals, anyone?), or a comforting plate of rice or noodles. The extraordinarily generous portions offer exquisitely balanced flavors. The quick as well as efficient service makes it a great spot for a casual meal. For an outstanding dining experience, try What The Pho, you won't be disappointed!

    I love "What the Pho" off Parker road. They always take care of me and get my order correct. The young ladies and man up front are very sweet and a joy to talk too. They're so nice and know me by name. They take good care of us in making our orders phenomenal and delicious. I was feeling under the weather plus it's getting cold here in north Texas so, I decided to pick up my health and feel better with some heart warming pho. Go get this on a cold day-you will not regret and you will feel much better after this hit of delicious comfort food. I got the chicken pho ga and it was yummy to my tummy. I am feeling better now. Don't delay and go warm up your soul and enjoy some hot, delicious pho on a cold day. Oh yeah-I miss the Christmas decorations-so I posted them too.

    The decoration is very nice and the whole restaurant is clean and organized. The food is very but very good and the flavors are top notch! Definitely recommend this place for family, couples or any single person that would like to enjoy great Vietnamese food. Polite service

    I never knew this establishment existed and I see why, bc it's located in the very back of the strip mall next to CVS and Jack In The Box. It's so easy to overlook for sure. First of all, I have to say that this Vietnamese restaurant is nothing like I've been to before. The menu is extensive(see pictures)and some dishes are very unique and very appealing. I've decided on spicy shrimp cakes(delicious), curry rice noodles soup with shrimp(very tasty)and Vietnamese ice coffee with ice cream and whip cream(so good). PB ordered summer rolls with shrimp(grilled shrimp), beef pho and he really liked the spicy shrimp cakes, he finished them for me. He also ordered lemonade(refreshing)and chocolate chip cookie. Our server was great. He didn't even write down our order and he got them right! Inside the restaurant was very spacious and airy. They sell Vietnamese rice puddings in different flavors(I've had them before in Hawaii. They're delicious). They also sell their own fish sauce which I had to purchase one. They have all sorts of cookies and shrimp chips(I love them)for sale. This restaurant will be our new "go to" Vietnamese restaurant from now on as we've been looking for one since one by our place has changed hands. I highly recommend it. We felt like we were eating home cooked meals at someone's house.

    Pho menu.. just a page. They've actually got a large, incredibly delicious sounding menu.

    Clean, modern look and feel. Staff was welcoming although they did t check on me once I was served which I found a little odd. Maybe it was because I was here kinda late, around 8. They were nice enough though. The menu is extensive and they have several vegan options. I got the pho and it had interesting vegetables which made for a pretty presentation and a good soup. I did have to let it cool down before I could really eat it cause it was nuclear hot. I'd definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

    Great food! The best pho in Plano. Great service and prices too. Always clean and staff is very friendly.

It was a Tuesday night, yet the restaurant was completely packed all the way through closing at 11 pm. We instantly knew that we picked the right place if it was this busy on a random weekday. Everything we ordered was incredible. The entire menu is halal. The beef kebab was tender and full of flavor, the chicken kebab was perfectly cooked, and the steak was just as good. But the real standout for us was the baklava. It's made in-house and served fresh and warm with ice cream, and honestly, I still crave it to this day. We ended up coming back several times during our two-month stay in Texas, and every visit was just as good as the first. I can't wait to try this again the next time I'm in Dallas!

The food is fresh and delicious -- the meat was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. Portions are very generous, especially for the price. The Uzbek tea was amazing, very aromatic and authentic.

Overall, a great place with great food, good prices, and a comfortable, well-kept space. Definitely worth coming back.

It is an absolute triumph of interior design.

However, the past two times we shared this place with another couple who loves sushi just as much as my husband and I do. One reason we kept coming back, aside from all the delicious food, was how they labeled their menu with the top food allergens. As a food allergy mom, I appreciated this so much! Especially when I was still breastfeeding, I had to eliminate all of my daughter's allergies to breastfeed safely. The main ones I had to look out for was gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and sesame seeds. The safe was aware of my limitations and shared empathy, not annoyance like other places. T Thankfully I'm out of that stage so I can eat anything on the menu now. We would like to take our daughter here some day, she loves sushi a lot! But being only 5 years old, we'll need to save it for a special occasion. We get carried away when we come here. The food here is top notch and worth every penny, so we'll have to save up. Cooked dishes we always order: Brussel sprouts, steamed mushrooms, hamachi collar and miso cod. All the nigiri/sushi is fresh and you can't ignore the specials or seasonal menu!

Having lived in Hawaii, we ate sushi, sashimi, and poke on a regular basis. Finding spots like this allows us to create new memories while also feeling a bit nostalgic for the flavors we love. We might have gone a little overboard, but everything was incredible! We ordered the Crunchy Eel Roll, Hamachi Nigiri, and Tuna Nigiri, along with two of the EBESU Course menus. My husband had the Chirashi Don and I went with the Toro Tekka Don. Love, love, love. As you can see, it was a lot of food, but every single piece was cooked and cut to perfection. The dishes are very easy to share, and I think next time we'll lean into that more so we can sample even more of the menu. If you are looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese food, this is the place to go!

    DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!!…read more My husband and I found this place by chance and thought we'd give it a shot. I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Spicy Rice Cakes (Tteok-bokki) which was soo good! If you like mochi you will like this! It's slightly firmer in texture but it's deliciously bouncy and the sauce is mildly spicy and full of flavor. We also ordered the Stir-fried Glass Noodles and Vegetables w/Beef (Japchae) these are savory noodles with no spice with various sautéed veggies. They claim both of these are appetizers but they are huge portions! We also ordered the Grilled Pork Belly. They said this is their specialty and OH BOY IS IT!! They bring a grill/hot plate thing to your table and cook the pork belly right there next to you! They also bring out all sorts of sides such as kimchi, fresh lettuce, picked cucumber, cooked mushrooms, fish cakes, garlic, bean sprouts, lettuce with what I believe was gochujang sauce on top, flakey sea salt and possibly more if I'm remembering incorrectly. They even give you suggestions on how to eat it and it was the MOST DELICIOUS DISH! I am not a fan of fatty meat (and I ordered pork belly, I know!) but they crisp it up so nicely in the pan that I did not notice the fat. The plain meat by itself with a little sea salt on top was Divine but when you add it with some sautéd onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and kimchi on fresh lettuce..... there are no words for how delicious that is! And that is just the food! The customer service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was chill and cozy. Moral of my story is, EAT HERE! Give this place a try and I'm sure they won't disappoint you. 20/10 would recommend! I will be back because this place is GOLD!

The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.
