The broth was really good and the salad rolls had fresh and crisp lettuce! The staff were very friendly, with the added bonus of delicious food! The prices are quite average for a Vietnamese restaurant, with a large bowl of Pho being around $13 or so.
This is just your typical Vietnamese restaurant. My friend and I came here since it was super close to her house. She comes here fairly often and loves the place. I order the grilled pork and spring roll bun (Vermicelli bowl)($10.25). It was good but nothing stuck out about it. The service was good, and they were quick and attentive.
My boyfriend and I go at least once a week for beef satay and it has to be the best that we can find in the northwest. The waiters and owners definitely know who we are and when the owner takes our order he joked with my boyfriend about getting extra noodles. 10/10 hands down, service is great, soup is even better! 🍜🔥
The service is good. The food is okay but the prices are definitely higher than they should be. I don't usually go here but I will if I'm stuck because it's close to home.
Reluctantly returned here with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. I still find their prices to be relatively high compared to other Vietnamese restaurants and their pho is fairly average but their vermicelli and rice dishes are quite good and definitely recommend those.
Great experience!. We were greeted promptly and our order was taken within minutes. Food was served very quickly and tasted delicious! Server even suggested adding a sauce to make the dish even tastier. Overall, very pleased. Highly recommended.
BEST SATAY PHO. IN THE CITY!!!!
Always been pleased with the food here
SATISFIED & HAPPY. I think we might have a winner here with the sate beef noodle pho.
This place didn't have the 'pho-aroma' but it was a great place. It was so neat and clean and nicely decorated. It had a feeling of being welcomed.
We were greeted with a smile and the tables/setting were all so neat & clean.
The menu was nicely decorated with pictures- with their number on it to easily tell what it was. It's TRUE what they say.."You eat with your eyes first." Looking at the pictures, you feel the need to try everything pictured on there. :) Good marketing tactic, I think.
BINGO!! They had the pho I like to order to help me compare other pho restaurants with: rare cooked beef with tripe AND my husband's favorite soup: satay beef noodle soup.
We started with the deep fried wontons and for the first time, opted the shrimp salad rolls out. My husband commented that they have the iced coffee- cheaper than the other places ($3+ change, compared with other places.. up to $5+ change)
The soups come in 2 sizes- small and large. Their large is the average size of pho soups at majority places. Their small, I have been told is the size of a soup bowl; which in MY opinion would be the perfect size if you wanted to try one of their pho's
The fried wontons were good, nothing out of the ordinary, just a simple and tasty wonton that's been deep fried just a second or two longer but not to the point where they were over fried. I don't normally dip them into the sauce provided, but ate them with a leaf of Thai basil...YUM. Try it if you haven't- take a deep fried wonton and eat it along with small leaf of Thai basil!
My husband's satay beef noodle soup LOOKED LIKE how satay beef noodle soup should look like- with that redness from the chili. In the past couple of places- didn't look spicy at all.
My soup looked great, the one thing I need to criticize was not enough tripe (one of the cow's 4 stomachs)- it got all mingled in with the noodles. But it was an overall good balance. There was a choice to make it as a satay- for $1 but I pinched off some of the fresh Thai bird chili and that was spicy enough.
I am assuming, the man who brought us the soups was the owner- told us to squirt some sriracha and hoisin sauce into the little plates to dip the beef into. Of all the times and when I was first introduced to pho- DID NOT KNOW you should do that. My husband was shown by a good friend of his- who had introduced him to 'spicy soup'- just squirted them directly into the soup. I just used it to place my unused chili pepper in and normally- I take out the sliced white onion- but this was the first time I left it in there. I normally add the bean sprouts and Thai basil in and then with the lime. All of which were fresh looking. :D
The broth, which in most places- garnish with green onion and cilantro- did NOT have cilantro. Good news for those who hate cilantro. The broth was so good, I had to resist picking up the bowl and slurping up the broth. Why can't we do that, especially for pho and not be frowned upon by other customers and wait-staff doing so?
Overall. I really liked the atmosphere and food. And reasonably priced ($10) Overall- the bill came to $32
I was in a happy mood when I was there and left satisfied and happy. We would go there again!
Had the satay beef noodle soup. Good size portion. Soup broth is fantastic. 9.5 out of 10. I will come back frequently.
