You have to get your pho fix at least every other week. Anything under 15 bucks these days is amazing firstly. Now the broth is incredible and hot to where the thin steak cooks how it should. Fresh basil and sprouts. Staff is attentive.

Affordable casual $13 bowls vs $20 Bayside. Crispy shrimp cake, fish cake tastes home made. Stew, seafood combos recommended. They have a juicing machine too

Friendly and fast service! I called ahead of time and my food was ready when I went to pick it up. The Fried Spring Rolls were crispy and good, but I’ve had better. These were on the skinnier side and the filling was okay in flavor. The pickled carrots were good. I enjoyed the Grilled Meat Spring Roll a lot more. There’s flavor on its own and tastes even better with the peanut sauce. If you’re craving Vietnamese food, this hits the spot!

The food is flavorful and cheap. $14 dollar for combination pork chop and shrimp cake rice plates. Pretty reasonable. This is the place when you are not sure where to go or what to have.

Good food for a reasonable price with the portions plentiful. I usually get the combination beef pho and combination rice plate. Can't go wrong with either.
