Worse pho I've ever had!!!! I found this place because reviews were great, I was looking forward to try this place.1) Pho - bean sprout, basil, lime, jalapeno, all in one bowl when it came, all were in the bottom. My mom had pho and it looked like the lime was already used. Son has pho as well, he didn't like bean sprouts and jalapeno in his bowl but had to no choice but to eat it. Since you can't really take out the bean sprout. I've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant like this.2) bun Bo hue - didn't taste like it at all and found hair in my soup >.<3) chicken wings marinated but didn't taste good at all and wasn't crispy.4) place was very tiny but if the food was good, I wouldn't mind. Tables were very sticky.5) I wasn't provided with plates for chicken wings to share or sauce dish for pho, very disappointing.Looked like it was only one person working there, the ONLY one good thing about the order was the spring rolls. Overall, food was terrible for a restaurant standard. I don't know how the reviews were so high, but I would give a zero star if I could.

Ambience is ok. Cleanliness is ok. I ordered number 25 Crab and tomato noodle. Rated 2 stars for 2 reasons:- False advertising. This is Chinese food, not Vietnamese food. If this is Vietnamese bún riêu, chef got the recipe wrong. Key Ingredients were missing: herbs were missing, crab paste were missing (and replaced with crab sticks?), taste was off. The only ingredient they got right was the tomato, tofu, and the noodles.- Lack of fresh ingredients. As shown in the bowl below, only tomato and beansprouts were considered fresh. The rest of the ingredients were either processed or previously frozen (fish balls, frozen shrimp, fish fried in batter, squid balls, crab sticks, ham).

I ordered a house special beef noodle soup.Flavorful broth with great portion of food. However, I noticed that they don't check vaccine cards and since this place is crowded and tight this might be something you want to consider.They also didn't do a great job cleaning those utensils (Spoon) as I can still see some food pieces on one them. Overall,I would definitely visit this place for the food.

Lowkey setup with not too much seating. Don’t expect to be dazzled but it is a certain charm to it. Not super apparent that it’s CASH ONLY, but there’s an ATM around the corner if you miss it like I did.I got the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli and a spring roll. Portions are large for the price. And listen…This may have been the best spring roll I’ve had in my life so far. Insane amount of crunch and bursting with flavour.Don’t sleep on it

Don't know how I've never been to this place before! Locally owned, freshly cooked, authetic and absolutely delicious! So much food for $15! I had enough for 2 meals.

Ordered the house special and a number 12. Big portion (almost overflowing!) and very tasty. They added the bean sprout to the soup and gave us limes on the side. I was surprised at how much meat they gave me! I would definitely go back and order some spring rolls and chicken wings as those looked really good too. Hopefully more people try this place because it's definitely worth it.

We wanted some vermicelli bowls and enjoyed them. Because of Covid, we had to eat in the car. ?

Wow. Hands down the best beef noodle soup I've ever had. The jalapeno pepper in the rare noodle broth adds a very fresh, mild spice and compliments the flavourful base. Also, the deepfried spring rolls are fantastic flavour bombs. Sweet atmosphere and lovely service to boot.

Ah I wish I can give 5 stars but the soup was too salty! But the broth was amazing and the meat quality was pretty good.I ordered rare beef, meat balls, and tendon pho. I ordered small size but trust me, it’s not small at all! The portion is pretty big and I love it!It just was too salty and I wish the chef mitigate the saltiness of the soup ??
