The rich and aromatic broth, simmered to perfection, fills the air with tantalizing scents. The tender slices of beef and fresh herbs create a harmonious symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds with every spoonful. It is a true testament to the authentic Vietnamese flavors that Pho Xe Lua is so renowned for.Secondly, the Chicken Vermicelli is a culinary masterpiece that leaves a lasting impression. The vermicelli noodles are perfectly cooked, providing a light and satisfying base for the dish. The grilled chicken is tender and succulent, complemented by a medley of fresh vegetables and herbs that add a delightful crunch and freshness to every bite. Topped with a delectable dressing that balances sweet, savory, and tangy notes, this dish is a burst of delightful flavors that will leave you craving more.Both of these dishes exemplify the authenticity and attention to detail that Pho Xe Lua brings to every plate. Their commitment to serving traditional Vietnamese cuisine is evident in every aspect of these two dishes, and I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience.

The pho tastes very authentic and I especially like the thin noodles. The chicken was not dry at all and I highly recommend avocado smoothies here. The owner Andy was lovely to talk to!

Despite reminding the staff twice, we never received the water we requested. Half of our meals were brought to our table, while the other half mistakenly went to an empty table. A nearby student noticed and brought it to us. We were not given any napkins. The servers seemed preoccupied with their phones or looking elsewhere when we tried to get their attention for water and napkins. The service here has been deteriorating even before the pandemic, but our recent experience was particularly bad. The food was also not impressive. Overall, not worth a visit.

Hands down the best pho place, hospitality from Andy and the rest of the staff are amazing! read more Hands down the best pho place, hospitality from Andy and the rest of the staff are amazing!
