1st time at this place. Tried placing an order on line, but wasn't able to. Called twice and called was eventually picked up. Placed a take out order. Order 2 Ox tail w/ beef meatball pho n 1 extra large pho w/ thai chili spicy pork belly.Definitely not going back. Broth was way to sour and salty. Instead of separating the noodles into 3 different container, it's put into one container that's all sticking together after it was soak. Those who eat pho knows that once u soak the noodles, it becomes sticky until you put in your broth. To me, that's just laziness. Leaves a soaked sticky mess for the customer to divide up. If you are going to do that, don't even bother to soak the noodles.The broth...No point in order an extra large. Cannot even tell which one was an extra large due to the fact that all the broth came in the same size container.On to the meat for each pho...Ox tail w/ beef meatball...you get 1 ox tail, but instead of beef meatball...you get pork meatloaf. If you are going to advertise beef meatball in your pho, I expect to get beef meatball. The least they could have done was mentioned that the beef meatball had been substituted to pork meatloaf when the food was picked up.Same thing goes for the Thai spicy pork belly. Again, instead of pork belly, it was substituted to a pork chop. The pork chop had no taste what so ever. Had to add salt and other seasoning.I don't know how dining-in is like, but I would not waste my time n money ordering take out or dining-in.

door dashed a few dish samples, first off the steak, crab, shrimp and lobster dish. I felt it wasnt worth the price of the $80 dollar for what you pd for. The dish was good but the portion for the price isnt worth it. I also ordered a spicy chicken dish while i ate it, i noticed the chicken was very very mushy so for me it seems like it was just frozen chicken that was heated in the microwave and sauce thrown over. The only thing that i thought was good and well worth the money was the burger i ordered, good portion for the price.

Had some take out here. Portions were good. Quality was sloppy. Mac and cheese, mashed potato, and rice all mixed and top on one another. It did not reflect the all the photos they had posted up.

Portion size is good but needs to be better seasoned with spice n salt if it’s gonna be called “Cajun”. DoorDash delivery

We were just there. Got a Steak, lobster, shrimp, crab leg combo. The shrimp was pretty good. Flavorful, cooked right and seasoned well. The lobster was over cooked & super small. The snow crab was ok. Little flavorless though. The steak was small, super thin and over cooked. Not a piece of meat i would have ever put with a $70 a head dinner. Honestly the bread that was served with the soup was the best thing on the table. I absolutely love seafood. If it was good I would have been back three times in the next week. Well I won't be back at all.

This place was alright. Crab legs and lobster was pretty good but the corn and potatoes were soggy and mushy. Not alot of corn or potatoes either. The chili came out cold and wasnt hot or even warm. Didn't get a lot of shrimp, mussels, and crayfish. There was a lot of rice that was hard and wasn't too good. The Mac n cheese was pretty basic and they gave alot of noodles that was just pretty plan. Moral of the story, go somewhere else.

Quantity of food is plenty; however it's mainly rice. Rice isn't even edible as it sits all under the meat and oil and sauce, unless you like it that way. Quality of food is below average with some food very low grade.

Following their advertisement on Facebook and we decided to come to the restaurant on the most coldest day . We were very satisfied with their pho. I got oxtail one , one of my friend got the rib one and another one got lobster pho.

First time I went, I got the cabin fried rice with salmon. Based on this, I thought I was gonna become a lifelong regular. Second time, got the cabin spaghetti with shrimp. It was kinda weird (served with a microwaved everything bagel, peas and green beans), but I thought it was quirky and was still on board. The third, and likely final, time I got a roasted pork 'banh mi' and teriyaki salmon. The sandwich was as confusing as it was delicious. It contained at least one bone in Cajun pork chop, maybe slightly overcooked. I'm place of carrots, cilantro, jalapeno etc, it had spring mix and caramelized onions. On place of paté and fish sauce mayo, it had Cajun Mayo. It was a delicious, drippy mess.Just so we're clear, I don't ever write typical 'bad' reviews. I think it's a petty waste of time. But since I reported the good, here's the bad. My salmon teriyaki came in a typical clamshell to go container. This was primarily filled on one side with stir fried, unseasoned green beans and what appeared to be roasted red peppers from a jar. On the other side was a mound of white rice. The rice was of several different vintages. There was the dried out rice from the day before. There was the overcooked, mushy dough like rice, also probably from the previous day. Then there was the freshest: piping hot undercooked rice straight from the cooker. Atop these fraternal twin peaks, were three or four small, lukewarm pieces of salmon. Then the entire container was filled to the broom with watered down Sysco brand teriyaki sauce.I hope this helps someone out, ideally the owners of they see this because I'm a creature of habit and I was all but ready for this to be my spot. Then I ended up feeling pretty insulted.

pho oxtail is back and we were so happy. we use to enjoy their rib and oxtail pho when this restaurant was located in rice st. Good big bowl and always have a lot of meat
