My cashier was really nice and helpful in regard to questions with the menu, and my food was great, came out quickly and was exactly what I asked for. I like the idea of it being a fast casual restaurant, like they give you a plate of veggies and such for your dish but if you’re looking for more, then there’s a station where you help yourself. There’s also utensils and everything else at the table itself so it’s efficient in a way where you don’t have to bother others for things you need while being able to enjoy your food. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The flank was too fatty, more like brisket. I would not recommend this place for true pho connoisseurs. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

I ordered the Pho Please (which had all the meats in it) and the broth was bland even after adding the sauces, lime, and herbs, and the tái was tough and took me awhile to swallow. The other meats were good though and dipping them in hoisin and sriracha made it even better. The spring rolls and Thai tea were also good. I didn’t order the egg rolls, but I was disappointed when I saw that they give you sweet and sour sauce with it instead of nuoc cham. They do have a bottle of pure fish sauce at their self service sauce bar, but it just makes it less authentic. It was expensive too and I wasn’t expecting to pay $43 (not including tip). I grew up in Houston so my expectations for Vietnamese restaurants are high. I would skip this place and head to the Vietnamese restaurants in North Austin. The main reasons why I came here was because I’ve been craving pho for a couple of days since the weather started getting cold and it was the most convenient option on the way home from class and it had a rating of 4.5 stars.

The soup was bland and not super rich. I had better bowls of pho and this one didn?t blow my mind. Perhaps,having it in store would have been better. Price was good! Recommended and will come back for the other dishes!
