I love this place! My experience with friends and Pho was too great. My family comes here 5 to 10 times a year. The waitress still learns true American English, so if you have a hard time, foreign accent may not be for you. The food was brilliant the waitress was involved and the price was fair. I recommend friends and Pho to anyone who likes a good Asian variety.

I love this buffet. The staff is friendly and efficient. The choices are fresh, hot and tasty. Be warned, this is not the buffet with endless entrees from a variety of cuisines. There are typically 12 items each day. One of the 12 is white rice, one is a classic Chinese soup. Usually there's a hot and sour item and fried chicken wings. IOn Fridays they have egg food yung. Can't beat the $9 price.

Make sure to check your bill. Been here before and disliked the pho, but the lunch buffet and Chinese food is pretty decent. 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.
