The name says it all PHO! And the staff was amazing. My wife just had emergency dental work yesterday and today was the first time she felt like eating. The staff went out of their way to accommodate her so she could enjoy it too! I highly recommend this place!Dietary restrictions: My wife just had emergency dental work so she couldn't chew. They went out of their way to accommodate her and made her broth by itself so it was very easy for her to enjoy the wonderful flavors!

I had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant, but I wanted to give it a fair chance. Unfortunately, it failed to meet even the lowest of expectations.To begin with, the ambiance was incredibly lackluster. The interior decor was outdated and shabby, giving off a rather unappetizing vibe. The tables were sticky and the chairs seemed like they hadn't been cleaned in ages. It was not the kind of environment that makes you want to stay and enjoy a meal.Moving on to the service, it was nothing short of abysmal. The staff seemed completely disinterested in their customers. They were slow, inattentive, and downright rude. It took forever for someone to take our order, and when they finally did, they got it wrong. The wait time for our food was ridiculously long, and when it arrived, it was cold and unappetizing.Now, let's talk about the food itself. Pho Em claims to specialize in Vietnamese cuisine, but the dishes we ordered were far from authentic. The pho broth lacked flavor and depth, tasting like a cheap instant soup mix rather than a well-crafted broth. The noodles were overcooked and mushy, and the meat was tough and chewy. It was a far cry from the flavorful, aromatic pho I have had elsewhere.To add insult to injury, the portion sizes were incredibly small for the prices they charged. It felt like they were trying to cut corners by skimping on ingredients. The lack of value for money was apparent, and it left a bitter taste in my mouth.Overall, my experience at Pho Em was a complete disaster. The lackluster ambiance, terrible service, and subpar food all combined to create an unpleasant dining experience. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are far better Vietnamese restaurants in town that offer authentic flavors and attentive service. Save your time and money, and steer clear of Pho Em. I honestly felt so bad after that I should have called an ambulance.
