Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Even after paying extra for a double portion of protein, the amount I got would have been disappointing even if I hadn’t specifically requested and paid for extra. Additionally, all the meat came pre-boiled and way overcooked which I’ve never seen at an authentic pho place. It’s possible that this is how they do their carry out to ensure food safety but this was still a first for me. ALL of the vegetables that came with the pho and in the spring rolls were slimy and definitely not fresh. Pho was served with a single slice of jalapeño that was actually just the top of a pepper (with the stem) lopped off and tossed in there- no seeds and no flavor rendered. Also, I only got one half of a single slice of lime. I will say that the broth was surprisingly rich and flavorful; it was under salted but this is easy enough to fix at home. The boba smoothie was also pretty tasty. Overall, a disappointing experience. I felt like I paid a premium for food without any heart at all and that everything was done as cheaply as possible without any regard for customer experience or enjoyment.
We have been four times and this is quickly becoming our go to for Pho on the easetern side of the county. The recipes are traditional and from the owners grandmother. My wife and I stick to the vegan side of the menu and enjoy the veggie pho as well as veggie rice noodle. My sister loves the lemon grass beef rice noodle. The only reason it is not 5 stars is because I do feel they have smaller portions sizes compared to Viet Fortune or Vietnam 75. But overall this is our go to place for Pho.
I was disappointed in the amount of protein served with their pho dishes. My husband had very little beef but I had events with TWO pieces of tofu in my veggie and tofu pho (P14). They were generous in the amount of vegetables but there needed to be a better balance.
P14 had a lot of veggies which was nice (although missing the green beans it was suppoed to include) but it was also supposed to have fried tofu. The picture of the dish is very misleading. I received 2 pieces of tofu, the protein for my pho. My husband ordered P2 and had very little beef in his, but at least it was more than 2 pieces. Highly disappointed.
The Pho was delicious. However, my appetizer, calamari, only had maybe 10 to 12 small calamari rings; it was significantly overpriced at $14 dollars.
It wasn't the best pho place I've ever been to. They forgot to add Boba to my smoothie and the fried tofu lacked flavor but were very crispy. The meatball bahn mi was pretty underwhelming too since it was mostly bread. I did kind of like the pho, though my family didn't...the smoothie was alright too. They also gave us a lot of water cups, it'd be better if they could just let the costumer ask for one next time. To top it off, the meat and the veggies were old. Infact, my mom found a veggie that was apparently rotten! Definitely won't come back until things vastly improve.
This place is HORRIBLE! There were bugs in the broth and the owner said it was me who probably added the bugs to the broth because they didn't want to admit what happened and to try and make it right. Instead they essentially robbed me and hung up on me when I called to complain amd ask for my money back. Don't be fooled. This place sucks! Go to Vietnam 75 or Viet Fortune Instead! This place is a dump and treats their guests even worse.
This was the worst experience ever!!!!!! Awful food. Awful service. Would you eat anything looking like this???? ????
Staff is very nice but food quality and consistency is mixed. I was definitely missing a lot of toppings and veggies the 2nd time I went.
Disgusted. They try to take your money and give you less food (cheap meat)as possible. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet Special for $14.50.... out of all those different parts of meat, I was only given eye round. Since they're the only ones in dale city that sold descent taro & Boba (to my knowledge), I tried them. Thanks to grubhub policy, I got my money back. Dag on con artist scammers. My aunt is of the Lạc Việt origin. She said this' not Vietnamese. How can such people commit such atrocities. Especially with food, that unites all. Sickening. This' not real Vietnamese food, just watered down, flavorless soup. Don't be fooled. Anyone can make this non-complexed version at home. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Sad part, their smoothie isn't made with fruit. Not real Vietnamese smoothies. It's made with sweetners they don't even particularly consume in Vietnam. Along with powders. Where's the actual taro fruit? In taro boba smoothie.
