It's a cozy, family-owned restaurant. The interior felt a bit cramped. The food was decent; we tried the mixed pho and beef vermicelli. I preferred the pho over the vermicelli. The meatballs were just okay as well.
I'm not here to evaluate the food since I've never had the chance to taste it. I've tried ordering from this restaurant four times, but each attempt has been unsuccessful. Today, I placed a delivery order at 5:30 PM, but when the driver arrived, he was told that they were out of food. This is the fourth time I've faced the same issue. How can this happen repeatedly? It seems clear that this restaurant needs to address its inventory management.
We dined here during a bustling lunch hour and quickly noticed how popular this restaurant is. As a huge fan of pho, I must say they served an exceptional bowl. The staff were polite and had a charmingly sarcastic sense of humor (always with a smile), demonstrating impressive patience as we settled in at the end of the lunch rush and waited for our third companion to join us.
This charming little restaurant offers a warm atmosphere perfect for savoring delicious food. We tried the beef pho, chicken pho, Thai tea, and meatball appetizers, and every dish was delightful. The staff was incredibly friendly, which contributed to our enjoyable experience. We can't wait to return!
This restaurant is very popular during lunch, as we observed when we left. I'm a big fan of pho, and they served a wonderful bowl here. The staff was courteous and had a funny, sarcastic attitude (always speaking with a smile). They were also very patient with us while we waited for our third friend to arrive, even though we had already taken a table in the midst of the busy atmosphere.
