--- NK Score = 8.0/10 ---

8/10 = Furniture/Ambience 8/10 = Food Quality 7/10 = Service 8/10 = Price (Other Ratings Hidden) =( BASIC INFO )=

Medium Size Restaurant Usually Busy, Lunch Time Decent Food ( $7.00 - $11.00 ) Vietnamese Cuisine Usually Inexpensive Accessible Parking = Atmosphere =

Modern interior with pleasant lighting and comfortable seats. The ambience is a little loud as the place can be moderately busy at times, but don't worry, there's plenty of space to move around. Due to the noise levels, I'd say this is more like a casual dining place for a group of friends rather than a date. = Food Quality =

Pho Tai ($7.50): 4/5 The broth was nice and warm when it arrived, it's aromatic herbal-beefy scent quickly enticed my nosy senses. The soft, chewy noodles fit nicely with the flavor of the broth, which had a slightly beefy taste. Overall a pretty satisfactory bowl of Pho, not much herbal flavor, but still tasted pretty good.

Bo Luc Lac ($9.00): 4/5 Very beautiful presentation with many exotic colors all in one plate. The shaking beef was very soft and tender with a surprising amount of flavor, probably due to the bell pepper and onions. Pretty good overall, slightly small portion, but the price is not that bad for what you get. Also, the mini-soup was refreshing. = Price / Service =

Pretty average pricing, nothing too cheap or expensive, so it's around the medium. Portion sizes are pretty good for the price.

Service is somewhat mediocre, they're not very active, but they still do a semi-decent job. Miscellaneous (Other): Crowded During Lunch Low Quality Restroom

This place where do I start I have went here several times with my family they are racist let me explain we are sat at the back at the same table every time this last and final time we were over charged and mistreated. We sat down it took them forever to get our drink orders instead they took the table that came after us which were of Asian decent and took their orders as well before coming back to even get our drink order when we ordered something which I thought was something else so I wanted to change the lady stated oh we already made it you can not send it back never have I ever experienced something like this. Mind you as soon as the guy place the bowl on the table I wanted to exchange it. So she brought the other dish but insisted that we pay for the one that we sent back because it was already made seriously. Also when they did give us water it was the first and last cup because no one came back to offer us water anymore. After we were done eating they charged an extra $18.00 on our bill stating that it’s gratuity. Just because we are African American we pay our bill to eat just like Caucasian, Vietnamese, Indian or any other nationality when will the world wake up and stop this kind of behavior. This is not what we should be teaching our children. We should love everyone doesn’t matter the color...

I've been a regular at this Pho joint for years. It's one of the best & also it has really good Mi Quang. I'm very picky about pho mainly because of the broth. The broth here is super good & also when you order the special or "dac biet" you get what you paid for. Lots of meats & cuts. I only will go here to get my pho fix. Also the service is really good, I never had a bad experience coming here & I've been coming for years.

Update: So 9.5 out of 10 times when I go to Pho Duy I would dine in. I tried take out because I couldn't stay to eat & the packaging was super. I ordered my usual Pho Dac Biet & Mi Quang (for lunch tomorrow) & I loved how they packaged it. All the condiments & plenty of veggies (Mi Quang has special veggies for it & they packed a lot of it), even hoisin & siracha packets were included for the pho. They were not skimpy at all. The pho was just as much as if you were dining in. It's a lot of food.

But I need to give credit where credit is at with the Mi Quang. This noodle dish does not have a lot of broth. They were able to get a container that holds up the broth needed & the noodles. That's genius & well thought out for their Mi Quang customers like me. I only go to Pho Duy to eat Mi Quang, they have the...
