Avoid! Rob!. I ordered a #1 large Pho and was the worst that I ever had!

No traditional mint or herb leaves, 1 beef ball cut into 1/2, a few tiny slices of rare beef steak, and not enough rice noodle. I was literally digging out the last piece of anything out of the powder-made soup. Big time rip off!!

I can understand the "downsizing" due to the economy; however, it cuts both ways if it doesn't backfire and turns into a vicious "loose-loose" cycle, which means less customers and close-down of a business.

average vietnamese pho. i went there on 11/24, the night after thanksgiving day.

the restaurant was so quiet, and there was ONLY ONE person as a waiter and a cook!

it was a littble ridigicious, but it was true.

the atomesphere was acceptable, but the tableware was a little bit dirty, so remember to clean them before you start to eat.

after a couple more people came in, we waited for our phos for 15 mins

the dishes were slighty cold, not not enough hot for making all things delicious.

i ordered "seafood in tomato broth", it was not a PHO, so it was neither good or traditional.

the rice noodles were too soft while the soup was not hot enough. I dont' like this because i prefer hot noodle soup.

my table ordered a house special pancake (sorry i forgot the name), and the cook didn't heat it hot enough, so it was not pretty delicious. The pancake had litte seafood with lots of veggies, a little pricier.

overall, we spent about $ 29 on four dishes.

Good food but service is ok. I have eaten here a few times, it's in my neighborhood, but each time I think I will try someplace else. The food is good, but it's always empty every time I walk by which makes me wonder. I've passed by for years and it's always empty! By the way, they don't take any plastic, so if you go...bring cash. The service is good, as soon as you walk in the door they're eagerly on their feet with a menu (but then again, you're their only customer probably).

very good food. This restaurant was recommended by my roommate and I agree with him that the food is very tasty. Surprisingly there were very few people in the restaurant when we ate there, I am not sure whether this is because it opened recently or just isn't popular. But the upside of that is the service was extremely fast. I have had both the lemongrass chicken and the lemongrass beef and enjoyed both.
