We were in the town and wanted to explore some good pho, and found this place on my want to go list. I ordered the small Combination House Special beef rice noodle soup; it came with rare steak, flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, and beef balls. It also came with a good amount of side veggies, which was a big plus. The broth was decent, and the portion was generous. I honestly doubted whether it was really a small bowl. I also tried their Shrimp & Boiled Pork Spring Rolls. This was a letdown; the wrapper was loose, and the pork was quite dry. Even though the rolls were huge, I didn't find anything special about them. I ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk as well, and this was another disappointment. The coffee was not strong enough or sweet enough, and it ended up being quite bitter. This was my first time having a Vietnamese coffee that tasted bitter. I would recommend skipping their Vietnamese coffee.
We came in with no reservation and 16 people and they sat us immediately, checked in on us the whole time and were super polite and sweet even tho we had such a giant group!! The food came out super fast the portions were really big but we ate it all because it was delicious. This place is awesome!! The inside of the restaurant is super nice and peaceful. You pay at the front after you eat. Definitely give this place a try!!!
First time where. Location look sketchy from the outside. Spacious and clean on the inside. Loving the large painting they have. Combination Phở was ok, let hubby. Noodles was too soggy. Broth not very flavorful. Fish sauce fried chicken wings: I LOVE it! Batter shrimp: Tom Rang Moi: it was good but needs a little more flavor. Good services. Will go again to try other food.
A very authentic pho noodle restaurant. The service is really good, and the food comes out pretty fast. The price is very good, and they are generous in their portions. The pho is signature and every size is worth the price. Not only that, their combination plates is surprisingly good. I enjoy their porkchops, and my family likes the pho. It gets busy sometimes but also enough space. I believe this restaurant has been around since the late 2000's, and continues to deliver good quality, affordable, Vietnamese food. Enjoy!
One of the best phos I've had that tasted quite authentic. I highly recommend the ox tail rice noodle soup as it had a deep savory broth that will warm your soul. The broth here is very rich and not watered down at all. It still maintained a clear appearance without being too light. Would love to come back again!
