What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the authentic flavors and generous portions. The pho is a consistent favorite, especially the beef brisket and chicken variations. Many guests highlight the friendly staff and super quick service, as well as the fact that the restaurant is great for both quick bites and longer hangouts. The fresh summer rolls and spicy curries also get frequent shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the space can feel a bit narrow when it’s busy, and seating is somewhat limited during peak hours. Others noted that the music inside can be a touch loud for those looking to chat, but for concert-goers, it’s part of the vibe. If you're after ultra-traditional Vietnamese, this is more modern street food than heritage dining.
