Beyond pho, the menu unfolds an enticing selection of rice dishes like the Grilled Pork Chops (Cơm Cụt Nướng) marinated in a special sauce that caramelizes delicately over jasmine rice, or the hearty House Rice Special that combines grilled pork, egg, and assorted meats, pleasing every craving. Vegetarian diners will appreciate thoughtfully crafted options such as the crisp Vegetable Egg Rolls (Chả Giò Chay) filled with tofu and vegetables, and the colorful Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Vegetables that are as vibrant as they are nutritious.
The beverage menu is equally well-tuned, featuring the addictive sweetness of their Thai Tea alongside refreshing young coconut and perfectly brewed iced tea, giving guests the ideal cooling complement to bold, spiced dishes.

My first time ever having Pho yesterday and it was SO good. My server was patient with me and helped me pick exactly what I wanted. The food was so good I am trying hard not to go again today
Food is really good and fresh. Nothing looks old. I hate ordering food and I get like vegetable or meats that aren’t fresh, you can tell. This place is beyond that and everything is delicious. Pho is delicious and perfect. The fried rice is amazing as well.
Good Vietnamese restaurant with staple dishes like pho, bun, and spring rolls. Service is always so nice, accommodating and fast.
Went with my cousin for a bite. I’ve never tried Pho before this (shame on me, right ?). First, I would like to say the owner is very nice and checked on us frequently. Second, the food was amazing, I had the #7!!!!! The flavor is there. Beautiful broth! You definitely get a bang for your buck. Lastly, I will be back.
The woman waiting us was named Kim, she did a wonderful job and was extremely kind and welcoming, I had minimal wait time and the prices were superb for the portions, I ordered #7 and it was very large, it had lots of meat and even more noodles, everything was fresh, delicious and visibly appealing. The restaurant was quiet, calm and had lovely lighting and atmosphere. There was another man who brought me my food and he was very sweet. I had a raging headache before I sat down to eat and the food wished it away like magic, truly a gem of a restaurant!
Great food. Quiet and chill atmosphere. I got the #10 Pho. The beef was tender and stood out on its on, broth was on point and the tendon spoke to my soul. And of course I had to make it a Large. Must try!
