The pho was good, but could use a bit of improvement in the flavor area but overall is very good. Portion sizes are enough for two.Restaurant has a very nice setting and the owner is very outgoing and friendly. Menu is straight and to the point and has good options. I would recommend no doubt.

We had such a lovely experience here! The pho was very well made (coming from someone who absolutely loves pho) and so comforting. The service was also perfect, our server was the sweetest and was readily available for any questions and requests. Would highly recommend!!

This is a great find. It is a couple of blocks from my in laws and they go all the time. Robert was very friendly and kind to us. The food was delicious and large portions. Robert took the time to explain the sauces that came out with the meals. My MIL had the Pho, FIL had the fried rice and I have the vermicelli noodles with an egg roll. Each dish was around $12-14 each.

My wife and I have wanted to try this place since it opened almost a year ago, and tonight was the night. We were warmly greeted by Robert, who offered to answer any questions we had, but we knew pretty quickly we needed to try the Pho - and we’re glad we did. My Chicken Pho was flavorful especially with the accompanying cilantro and jalapeño slices. My wife’s Pho had massive shrimp pieces. The portions were massive and now we have lunch for tomorrow. Stop in - especially on these cold evenings!

The food tasted like authentic Vietnamese food. Being from Houston, I’ve had a lot of good Asian food. The fresh rolls were so delicious and fresh, the shrimp was firm and fresh as well. The bhan mi sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. Th bread was so well made and fresh. We will for sure go back!
