This place recently got new management, and, as a Vietnamese person who has had plenty of pho, I can not recommend this place more. I am certain it is the best in the area.
I have not been here prior to the reopening with the new management, but prices are more or less the same compared to other Vietnamese cuisine restaurants. However, you get a LOT of food. I got summer rolls with peanut sauce, a Vietnamese coffee, pho, and chả giò (fried spring rolls).
For the pho, the noodles were excellently done and soft. They taste similar to what you would expect, but I can go on and on about how amazing the pho broth is. It was so good and very herbal, which is something that stood out to me.
If anyone gets the fried spring rolls, ask them for a side of lettuce to wrap it with (no extra cost), and dip it in the sauce. It tastes amazing. I also have nothing but compliments for the summer rolls. They are simply made and amazing with the peanut sauce.
The thing I loved the most about my lunch was 100% without a doubt the Vietnamese coffee. They recommend it cold, but a family member got it hot and I tried and loved it just as much. When they deliver the coffee, you can not drink it immediately, because they serve it as it is getting filtered by the Vietnamese coffee filter. You get the experience of mixing it yourself after a bit of waiting, and the coffee is so so rich. You can ask for more milk if you like (it already comes with a bit of milk prepared at the bottom as the coffee is being filtered, and you mix it afterwards). If this sounds confusing, one of the workers will help you. I can not express how rich it is. It is super flavorful.
Because it just reopened, I am looking forward to if they ever serve desserts. I am sure they won't disappoint!
The service is spectacular. The Vietnamese/Hoa people that work there are very nice. It is very clear how much love they put into this restaurant. Though English is not their first language, they are gentle and friendly, and they return kindness and respect tenfold. I can not recommend...

Read moreMy first time since under new management. Everything on the menu looked so attractive. I made a point of ordering several appetizers and specialty dishes, since I wanted to become familiar with as many items as possible. WONDERFUL food and service! Our server, Henry, walked us through each dish, explaining how to most enjoy it - right down to which sauces complimented which plates. The rest of the staff was just as attentive and friendly. The owner made a point of visiting each table a few times throughout the evening to ask how we were doing and if everything was enjoyable (it was MOST enjoyable!) and sometimes to just chat -- the whole atmosphere was so welcoming! The savory pancake, the shaken beef salad, and the dumplings and spring rolls were terrific! My guest kept remarking how tasty each of his dishes was. My rib eye steak (cooked perfectly to my request) broken rice dish was great! The iced coffee was addictive! And the creme brulee was perfect! I am definitely returning with more friends and family to sample more items...
