Ordered five spice chicken pho. The chicken came on the side and was crispy and delicious. The broth was good too, highly recommended.

Great service and the broth was the best part perfect umami flavor. I wish the veggie pho had less broccoli and some other varieties of vegetables but it was great overall.

I usually come here for the garlic noodles. Many proteins to choose from, I just go with the chicken which is cooked to perfection and add it with the imperial rolls. Service is great and welcoming, food is cooked to order which I prefer, so I dont mind the wait. Family owned business at its finest. Definitely will be back!
