Just yes.

I’m just going to go right into it.

PRO’s: -APPETIZERS. Normally this is where the “ho-hum” Vietnamese restaurants take it easy and just provide some warmed up version of something they prepared earlier. Not these guys, the appetizers are made sizzling hot and fresh every time! And you’d best be careful cause I mean much emphasis on the hot! -ENTREES. So far I think they do awesome at everything I’ve eaten, but I’m most impressed with their hardy portioned pho bowls. If you get a large be prepared to leave space in your fridge specifically for the foam container that’s gonna be needing a home. Entree portions are quite generous. -PRICE. The prices follow suit and are extremely generous for the portions given. -STAFF. The staff are all great and attentive, too include the owners sitting in the middle table always waiving thank you and good bye.

CON’s: I honestly can’t think of a con. Parking, maybe? But that’s because they are in a strip mall sharing their parking with other businesses.

Terrible experience there, enter at your own risk. Your required navigate through a maze of chairs and tables and use a menu that’s been previously handled by everyone before you. I tried viewing the wall menu but was yelled at by 2 employees and was told I wasn’t allowed to do that. They then told me I was only allowed to stand in one area (there are no warnings of this, like I said it’s a weird maze in there). I then told them no thank you I won’t be ordering anything. They tried to convince me I always come in and order the special so just order the special. This was not true and haven’t been here since last year. I declined. Saw a guy ask for condiments and he was yelled at for not asking for the small packets when he ordered his meal. The guy with slick back hair seemed very upset because he had to walk to the back in order to get them. Unreal experience in...
