I saw this new restaurant next to Short Stop mini market. It looked very clean, organized with a family owned restaurant environment. That was five years ago.
The reason I'm changing my review from 5 star to 2 star is because there's little to no vegetables in the Chicken Pho.
Also, I felt uncomfortable in the restaurant ordering food to go with a young women peeping around pointing her cellphone lens at me many times above and behind the glass refrigerator. Like why? There are plenty of security cameras inside and outside. Probably there's a lot on creeps in the neighborhood? It's right next to a liquor store.
All of the online pickup from Beyond Menu, Post-mates, Door-dash ... ... are lots pricier than their in store menu. Like $2.50 more each. And they don't have their phone in or dine in menu posted on their web site anymore like other restaurants. Why? On-line ordering with those companies above the prices are high everywhere now. I like the telephone or walk in ordering for pickup or dine-in with the lower prices.
One very nice thing is that they do have pitchers of free water with fruit inside and disposable glasses. That's nice.
I don't like when they put the Hoisin and Sriracha sauce with the bean sprouts and herbs. Food workers get the paws all over those packages.
Their Pho has gone downhill with lower quality and high ordering online prices. They need a regular menu on their website with a offline menu. Maybe they should use Chow Now online site with no mark ups?
Shame...
Read moreDelicious bowl of pho! Everything about this spot is great; the food, service, ambience, and experience makes it all the worthwhile.
The head chef/owner came out from behind the kitchen multiple times to check in on us and explain his remodeling of the interior (which looks great and fun). The best part about the experience was the exceptional bowl of pho that had all components of the dish perfectly executed.
I absolutely recommend this to everyone from experienced pho connoisseur to the adventurous passerby. Will certainly be making this a regular stop of mine.I am so so happy that there is a new pho restaurant in my neighborhood! I couldn't be more happier that a good bowl of pho is now walking distance from my home. Inside the restaurant the decor is interesting and modern. They did very well with the space. I came in with my 4 year old and we ordered the pho beef combo (meatballs and rare steak, minus the tripe and tendon), Steamed Bun with pork belly and pickled veggies and an order of Shoestring fries with rosemary salt. The pho was delicious, the rare steak tasted like good quality meat and the broth was satisfying and tasty. The steamed bun with pork belly hit the spot, I should have ordered more to go! The fries were surprisingly delicious, whatever seasoning they used was a winner with me and my child. We ate the whole thing! All in all a great first impression and I am sure we will be regulars here! So happy this place is in my...
Read moreA wonderful place I would visit again! I was really craving pork belly and saw that this restaurant not only have fried pork belly but also pork belly banh mi (sandwich). My friends and I ordered several appetizers and were impressed by each. The fried pork belly and calamari were crisp and delicious. I especially love the green spicy sauce served with the fried pork belly. For my main, I ordered the pork belly banh mi. My only criticism is that the baguette could have been toasted to make it crunchy, which is what I expect from Vietnamese banh mi. Instead, it was soft (not too off putting), but a little doughy. The thick cuts of pork belly were a bit difficult to bite off, but the flavor was great. I also really liked the creamy dressing of the salad, and the french fries that came with the sandwich were crispy and seasoned just enough. My friend said the Chinese bbq pork didn't have much flavor, though, so beware: the picture in the menu may look like it has been marinated well, but what came in the sandwich kind of paled in comparison. Came at around 4pm and it wasn't very busy. which mean the staff came by several times asking about how our meals were and refilling our water....
