The food is great here but lately the service has been lacking. Just yesterday me and 2 other of my friends went and it already started out bad. They didnt notice us until we got all the way to front where they finally saw us and pointed at a table. It was a rainy day so there were a few table occupied with families but they already had their meal and the servers were no where to be seen other than in the kitchen or behind the register. 10 mins had passed and some families had already finished their meals and left and we still hadnt gotten our menu at least. my friend and I raised our hands politely to get the man behind the register attention but all he did was see us and wave back. 5 mins later passed and another family comes, they got attentioned right away and got pointed to sit right behind us. they got menus 2 mins after and then the server girl left to get her noye pad. we were shocked. We had the man behind the register attention twice (one coming in n getting seated and the other when we raised our hands to ask for an menu after 10 mins) and yet he saw the server give menus to the family that arrived 20 MINS AFTER US and did NOTHING. After the server girl gave the family menus n returned with her note pad, she "accidentally" came to our table first but quickly left to the family behind us to take their order. She didnt even say a word to us, no "im sorry wrong table" or "ill give u guys menus in a sec" NOTHING just turn away n take the order of the family who came 20 mins after us!!! Thats when we stood up and started walking away, the sever girl saw us and just stared, my friend then told her "well u didnt even give us menus or say anything to us". No one tried to stop us not even the man behind the register who knew we had been waiting for AT LEAST A MENU FOR 2OMINS. In the end we found a better pho place right across the street, not sure if i will return or reccomend this place again to...
Read moreWas just cruising around and saw this pho spot. I got the #11, it's sort of like the pho dac biet. It was really good. The broth was good, it came out super hot which is very important because by the time you pick all the basil, get your utinsels and all the condiments ready, and all your yelp pictures taken, your pho most likely went warm. For a $8.99 large bowl, the amount of meat I got was good. More basil would have been better. It's a very clean restaurant and the tables were separated for every other to be served at. They all wore masks, had plexiglass cashier border, and hand sanitizer. One thing I noticed about this place was the service. The girl who worked there was exceptional. I overheard her talking to some customers and she talked to the guy, chatting/joking with his little daughter and simply being super friendly. I turned my head for a split second and at that moment, she had asked if there was anything that I needed. I was like...wow, a Vietnamese restaurant that has this kind of service??? Simply awesome, I knew and anyone could tell that she always had a smile on her face even though she was wearing a mask. They're doing a 10% off special right now but I don't think they need to do that. This place has plenty of parking, it's in the shopping center next to dollar tree. Delicious super hot pho with top notch service. Great dine in experience with a super socially inclined cashier/server. Much...
Read moreThis is my second time here. Wanted to give this place a once over before I made my decision. For me this was a hidden gem. I have seen this place many times while shopping in the complex, but I never went in. I was thinking this place was just another typical pho place that is littered across the Garden Grove landscape. Let's get straight to the point. Food- The broken rice was slightly dry, but my wife loved the soup and meat. The pho soup is delicious. In my opinion, the pho soup is delicious and comparable to award winning pho restaurants. The cafe sua da could be a little stronger. Their orange juice was on point. I don't know if it was powder or fresh, but my daughter couldn't get enough of it. Service- Awesome. They greet you when you enter. Every interaction had a smile behind it. Great place. Atmosphere- This was what made it from a 4 to a 5 star rating. The seating was spaced out. It doesn't feel like we were on top of other people. I understand that most pho places are quite small and they have to pack on as many peeps...
