This Vietnamese restaurant is in a strip mall with several other small Asian restaurants. It was very good food and service. The staff was nice. Interesting that there are table grills but I hunted the menu for something to grill and didn’t find it. Maybe they haven’t set that up yet. There are buzzers on the booth to call wait staff, which was pretty handy. It was very clean and well lit. We had egg rolls, spring rolls, rice plate chicken and a noodle plate. There were sauces and accompaniments that were great. I would have liked additional beef options tho again maybe they’re setting up for grill tables to cook beef. I also had the soda lemonade (non-salty version), which was nice tart lemon juice with sugar served with a can of soda water. Better than the usual premixed version. We’ll be back to check out what they’re doing with the grill tables and if it’s what I think, I’ll be parked there regularly when I’m in town.

Loved the food here. Had a staple, pork chops. One of those dishes I use to judge new places. Was pretty good, flavorful for sure, but nothing too special.they did give two chops, so props to them here. My family loved the pho' they ordered. Had the bbq shirt ribs last night, another tasty option. Second time back. Had a dish where you basically build your own spring roll. Fun experience. They did not have what I originally was craving, a beef onion roll. The secondary choice was tasty. Tried the grilled pork, yummy.

A great pho spot in the neighborhood! We had the A2 spring rolls and the P12 pho — both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We also tried the sugarcane juice; it was decent, though I recognized it as the bottled kind I’ve had before, not freshly pressed. Was expecting the fresh sugarcane juice so was a bit disappointed. But overall good dining experience.

Came here for lunch and it was very easy parking. We were seated promptly. Clean bathrooms. Great variety on the menu. I liked the woven noodles which was a fresh dish for a warm day.

Very busy restaurant during lunch hour. It have some unique dishes like Banh Tam bi tom chay which is coconut based sauce. Service was quick and food price is reasonable. The restaurant looks like used to be Korean Bbq place as the table has for grill. Food is yummy but wish the soup is bit hotter.. It is interesting the pork chop with rich and egg which is similar to broken rice plate doesn't have broken rice and it didn't look very appealing so we didn't eat it at all and decided to bring it home as to go. At home we had it as dinner and it was yummy. It is just in the restaurant the porkchop looks pale and it was cold. Good lunch

Ordered Hu Tieu while not the most authentic, it was decent for a quick meal. Service was fast, and overall a solid experience for a casual bite.

There were 3 of us and even though it looked really busy and filled at this lunch hour, we still got seated immediately. This place is more special than most pho/vietnamese places because it has a lot more variety on it's menu and seems to contain a lot of very authentic dishes. We ordered some stuff to share and for ourselves (see the photos). Overall everything was really great and portion sizes were good too. Just keep in mind that you might need to soak the rice paper yourself, if that's what you order. And there might be other really interesting foods you've never eaten before. I definitely want to come back though! Service was good too, thanks!

Very good chicken vermicelli. Ton of protein and cooked well with an extremely large fish sauce. Great Vietnamese. Would come again.
