First time here and loved it. I had the veggie egg rolls appetizer to start...crunchy and delicious. For my main course I had the veggie Banh Mi sandwich, which was loaded with veggies and tofu. Tasty as well... especially with the hot sauce! Plenty of seating inside but no outdoor seating. Great location in the Walmart shopping center too.

The broth is excellent and the rice plates and egg rolls are other good options to try.

I had their Bun Bo Hue with oxtail. The broth was spicy but other than that, wasn’t very flavorful. The oxtail was very rubbery, and the raw thinly sliced meat were included in the bowl and were completely cooked. The iced VN coffee was diluted and had more milk than coffee. My husband had the vermicelli with pork and egg roll, and although he loved his dish, the portions were very tiny. We both had to get more food after we left.

First time coming here the food is so delicious I highly recommend coming here

I would have love to try the food but I ended up walking out because customer service seemed pretty crummy! I went into this place to make an order for takeout, I was sitting at a little table in front of the register looking at the menu when one of the waitresses walked by and I asked her what was good, while my head was turned looking at her the Buser who looks like a child was pushing a busing cart through the restaurant and rammed it right into my leg which caused a plastic cup to go tumbling on the floor the kid didn’t apologize the waitress who I am assuming is his mother didn’t apologize, she seemed more concerned with the plastic cup that fell on the floor so she went and picked that up and then completely walked away from me not even answering the question that I had asked her. That was when I left because The whole situation seemed pretty rude.

The food here is good ?

Service was very fast but everything lacked flavor. Pretty disappointed. Meat in the pho was so tough. Broth tasted bland. Boba in the milk tea was hard, not chewy. Bahn mi had very little in it and practically no mayo.

Delicious! I love the crispy tofu in their spring rolls!

Ordered and recieved some of the best pho I have had in awhile

The food was ok but the decor is nice
