My wife and I were in town for her sister's wedding a couple of months ago and the food here was so good that I still think about how good their broth is, it was fatty and rich, but delicate and light at the same time. We're big pho people and we eat it a lot, so the fact that I'm still thinking about it must be a good sign! We also tried the crab fresh rolls to go with our pho and they were sooooo good! Don't miss out on this gem!
Number one compliant. They’re not flexible. And the price is high. My wife is a vegetarian and wanted vegetable fried rice they said no. Only egg fried rice. 20.00!!!! 30% more than my steak pho. Which was fine. And cost 15.95 about average price and slightly above average quality. I wanted to get a pork eggroll instead of tofu deep-fried with the rice paper and they could not do that. Made me wonder if everything is frozen and then they prepare it not sure. The staff was polite the restaurants clean. If you’re coming for steak pho that’s it, you’ll probably not be disappointed. I was hoping this would be a great spot being in east mark it’s one of the closest pho 🍜 spots.
The food is tasty! But it would be better if they had Lahksa on the menu! An Asian restaurant should have more Asian varieties than just Pho. If you’re not careful a bowl of noodles here can end up costing $30-40 to feed one with all the extras. It’s really clean and worth a visit, but after asking for extras on the side I realized my nutrition budget needs a modification. Tasty and the restaurant service is extra friendly overall.
Amendment to my review below. I called and spoke with Yan, the owner, she explained that she caught that the driver missed a bag and that they were to turn around to pick it up. This didn't happen which was not the fault of the restaurant. Yan even contacted DoorDash and had another ticket made so they would deliver our desserts. Things happen, we all know that, but it is the way they are handled that can make or break a consumers relationship with an establishment. I thank Yan for doing what she could to ensure that we received our missing components, even if the second driver didn't deliver them either. We will return for sure, but may be in person and not through 3rd party delivery services. Our bag was clearly marked that it was 1 of 2 bags. We had ordered 2 desserts (bag 2) that we never received. Whether this is on the part of the delivery driver not picking up both, or the staff not ensuring both bags were retrieved, is unknown. It is disappointing this location does not have a website that I can reach out to them directly, so I am leaving my review here. It is understood that cold desserts wouldn't be bagged with hot Pho, however a better system is needed so that a customer receives both bags of the food they ordered. This is not an inexpensive restaurant choice ($85.85) for two and not receiving a part of your order is disheartening.
Vegetable egg rolls Filling: 7/10 on the softer side of things. Crunch: 10/10 very fresh light oil Sauce: 5/10 basic chili sauce pairs well Pho steak: 7.5/10 Noodles: 8/10 standard noodles came soft Meat: 7/10 steak was good paired great with all the toppings Broth: 6.5/10 pretty flavorful had better Toppings: 9/10 very fresh and flavorful typical toppings Service: 9/10 service was great friendly staff. The atmosphere is nice. Tried to upcharged for lemons in water. Not a deal-breaker, just something to think about if you like lemon water. Price: $45 standard pricing $53 with tip
