Very pleasant experience dining in. Picked up take out. It was delicious. I have had very friendly service every time. Friends and Pho is a Hidden Gem tucked into this mall.

Service is always pretty bad, but I assume that is because the only wait staff is a kid who is always on her phone. Went for the lunch buffet on Monday and was charged $9. Went to the same buffet on Wednesday, they charged the person in front of me $9 but then charged me $10. I looked at the ticket and it said buffet, no drink. I asked about it and they couldn't provide and explanation for the change in price and conspicuously avoided eye contact. I just paid it and left, a dollar isn't work squabbling about. That said: shady.

We had egg rolls and they were just okay. My mom had lo mien and that was terrible too. We ended up throwing our leftovers in the trash after we got home. The waitress did not know what was in the dishes either. Bad experience all the was around. We won't ever go back.

I highly recommend the egg rolls and summer rolls, along with the Bun Thit, which is my absolute favorite dish. My fiancé is also a big fan of their fried rice dishes.
