Ordered bun bo hue and spring roll combo.
Spring roll was ok. Nothing too special. Taste was good. Bun bo hue had no pork in it ... Though, noodles and beef had a really good texture.

The service here sucks. Period.
The servers glared at me when I asked for extra bowls and then proceeded to give me plastic children's bowls with cartoon designs. Everyone else got normal bowls except for my table.
I didn't want to ask for new bowls so I was examining the children's bowls and they were ALL awfully dirty as if they hadn't washed it yet.
I then asked for new bowls and they gave me the normal bowls after. The question I have is why they hadn't given us the normal bowls in the first place since there weren't many customers at the time and they obviously had more normal bowls stored.
As for the food, it was quite terrible as well; extremely salty rice dishes, sour pho, and the beansprout in the veggie roll was yellow (old). -

This place is known as one of the few places that serve good food(depending on what you order) and open till late. You can come here and for a full course meal or just a regular snack or even just a drink. From my experience, I would recommend their deep fried tofu and their dried noodle. I mostly just order these everytime i visit. Their deep fried tofu is served with this tangy-salty sauce, which I think is made up of mostly fish sauce and soy sauce. Dip your tofu with this and it's just amazing. Their dried noodle is one of a kind. They do not have a lot of options with dried noodle compared to their pho. But I think its better than their pho and their rice combos. It might even be the hidden gem of this place. 4 stars because i think they can do better at customer service

My boyfriend and I come here often Everytime we get a Vietnamese craving. Also, when I was a kid my parents used to take me here if we were in the area. They go to different pho places all the time so I feel like there opinion is fair when choosing a good place for pho.
The dipping sauce for the fried tofu appetizer is super good. I would order it Everytime if I wasn't watching how much I consume soy. We almost always order the chicken wings. My go to dish is usually the chicken and rice plate with two eggs.
The ladies serving us are always friendly. We never really have to wait too long for our meals. It may take a little longer if there are a lot of people but it is never a horrible wait. You can tell everyone works very hard at this place to make sure customers are happy. Also, the broth for there pho is very good. I enjoy their rate beef.
Obviously they have racked up the price a bit to compensate for the rent increase. I remember ordering a banh mi for $5 some years ago. But now it is $6+. But overall I think the prices are very fair in my opinion. -

Place is open till 4, has neon lights and Vietnamese television playing. Not a bad sell so far.
The prices are affordable and have a spring roll combo.
The spring roll - nice tight roll, not huge...not small either. But pretty good. No complaints.
Pho dac biet - the broth is pretty strong with fish sauce. I so happen to like that. The amount of meat for large is not as much as I'd imagine, but the taste was decent. Consider ordering extra meat.
Place is okay overall.
