“ I come here just for takeout usually- for the grilled pork chops and the rainbow ice. In my most recent visit, I decided to sit in and enjoy the rainbow ice. The rainbow ice is so yummy! Also had the coconut water with fresh coconut meat, ”

“ Pretty good Vietnamese food. It's hectic. The music lets you know the food is authentic. ”

“ Solid Vietnamese spot! It's been there for over 10 years and I used to come here all the time when I lived close by. They also make smoothies! I love their pho soup, crispy noodles and of course the spring rolls. Their menu is extensive and it's impossible to try it all. Portions are big too so you'll never leave hungry. Service is okay, quick without extra interactions. But they always refill your water/tea. Solid! Not fancy but is good! ”

“ My husband and I have gone for a few times, but this is my first time reviewing. Overall the pho is pretty good and very filling - even the medium size pho can feel massive. We also got a serving of the Chinese water spinach, which was well cooked and has a nice garlicky flavor. In terms of actual service, there are no frills, but staff work very quickly and there's a lot of seating options. Overall, this spot is a great option for a quick, hearty meal! ”

“ I love thai son. So affordable and always hits the spot. The broth is less on the sweet side if you know what I mean and the portion is huge. I got the medium beef pho, sautéed beef, sautéed squid, and the fried butter shrimp. ”

“ Vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of fresh herbs wafted through the air, teasing my senses and building my anticipation. Staff was friendly and hot jasmine tea on table. I was impressed by the vast array of options, from classic pho to more adventurous dishes like bun cha and goi cuon. I couldn't wait to dive in and explore the flavors and delights of Vietnamese cuisine! The food however was not the best. It was ok. We normally go to Nha Trang next door, but it was closed (they close on Mondays.) The appetizers and the pho was merely "ok." The salmon was not great, and the Vietnamese coffee was substandard. All in all, the service and atmosphere was great but the food was not. ”

“ This place can get crowded and boy they give a lot of noodles for their number 1 option on their menu, Xe Lua! It's an extra large bowl of pho! I ordered the pho to go and since it was raining, it was nice that the food was packaged in a brown paper bag along with a plastic bag to go. Double packaging. Once I got back to work, I opened the bag and took out the contents and immediately knew it was a lot of food. The soup broth was to the top and I tried to fill the bowl with all the noodles and it doesn't work. The bowl was not big enough and every time I put more noodles in it, the soup broth wants to spill out. Noodles were very slender and smooth and the seasoning of the broth made the noodles very savory and juicy. Apart from the slices of beef and brisket, there was a piece of mint, bean sprouts, lemon wedge, scallions, chives, and cilantro. So many ingredients to spice up the soup. Luckily the pho was that big for me to have enough for dinner leftovers so it's a plus that they gave a lot of noodles. ”

“ Solid choice for Vietnamese food in Chinatown! I will say that most Vietnamese food in Chinatown is a bit more Chinese-Vietnamese but I heard Vietnamese being spoken by the staff in the restaurant so that is pretty authentic. The restaurant is quite busy and lively but there are many seats and food came very quickly, about 5-10 minutes after we ordered, maybe even less. We got the grilled chicken pho and the grilled pork and spring roll rice vermicelli bun. The pho broth was flavorful and you can taste the different spices and herbs like mint. The spring rolls were very yummy and crispy! The meat portions were very large and we had trouble finishing it all. ”
