The Best Restaurants in Northeast Philly | Eater Philly

"In the lower area of Lawncrest, bordering Olney, you will find no shortage of Vietnamese restaurants such as Pho 75, Café Saigon, and Pho Viet. Of the numerous eateries to choose from,though, Pho Ha Saigon offers a modern feel while still serving traditional Vietnamese dishes such as one of their “rare steak” pho dishes. There’s also an attached banh mi café for take out dishes." - Sarah Maiellano

I’ve had Vietnamese food from here numorous times already, it’s so good and authentic. their atmosphere is nice with good service. I recommend bahn mi thit nuong and the coffe(ca phe sua da) I don’t say this is the cheapest place but worth paying it

I absolutely enjoyed the food ... but the customer service is not good. and the waiters are very annoying they rush you to order your food. and keep asking you for the food menu every minute like you're going to steal it. I wanted to hold the menu to order food to go.. but I didn't like the service took my food to go because I was rushed to eat my food. Kinda disappointed because the food is good .....

Came @12:30p on Sunday, no line, not so crowded! Parking was fine! Service was great, ordered #19,20, Vietnamese Ice coffee, fresh coconut juice, they were great, except for the ice coffee has too much milk instead of coffee. Food and drink come within 5 minutes of ordering. Would recommend this place!

Service: This was my first time trying Pho and it did not disappoint! The service was very quick and attentive. As a first-timer, I asked the waiter a lot of questions and he explained the options and differences between the dishes I was choosing between. Overall, we got our food very quickly and everything was very fresh! Atmosphere: The restaurant looks like a new construction, with brand-new dining furniture and artwork. It was very spacious, open, and well-lit with natural sunlight. By the time we left, there were 15+ more tables seated than when we arrived - this place is popular! Food: I ordered the Phở Chin Dac Biet Well Done Deluxe Beef Pho. Even though I got a size small, I was still surprised by the generous amount served. The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. I also got the Mu Xao Don Hoac Mem Ga Chicken Pan Fried Noodles, and the Chao Tom Shrimp with Sugarcane. I’d recommend this restaurant for the authentic Pho experience.

Been here various times from 2018 to 2022 and onward. Food is always served warm and properly. I always get my usual Vietnamese pork chops and they never disappoint. There's a parking lot in the front and sometimes it does get crowded. The door is also extremely heavy to push but they're not closed, it just requires extra force. They're always crowded, so that's good business which says a lot about their food. I've never had an issue with the food. Occasionally, the elder woman waitress catches an attitude but it varies on different days, depending on her mood. They also provide take out which takes 15-20 minutes depending on the menu item. Payment can be taken to the front desk after meals. The seats next to the windows are always the coldest. Their bathrooms are also usually very clean. Good place.

We'll definitely return! We were seated immediately and the friendly server got our appetizer within minutes. Summer rolls yum! I got the rotisserie chicken & red rice and my husband got spare ribs with rice. Both delicious! Beautiful place and everyone was so nice.

Absolutely love the food here. I always order pho. The broth alone.. is perfect!!!! They always give fresh ingredients. Every time I order I get fresh ingredients and delicious food. The only complaint I have is about their smoothies. They used to give these unique cups full of delicious smoothies. Now the cups are kind of small for the price. Other than that, the food is always on point. This will always be my favorite place for pho. Unless they change.. I don't see myself without their delicious food ❤️

Soooooo yummy. I got a vermicelli bowl and an iced coffee which I both highly recommend. They have a large menu and good selection. The pho looks huge .. I didn’t order it when I went but it looked yummy. My partner got the pork chop broken rice … also yummy and tender :)

Besides pho, there are also many options like stir-fried noodles, stir-fried rice noodles, and fried vermicelli, as well as grilled meat and seafood set meals. You can also order milk tea.

As always, the food was delicious. I treated a friend of mine to lunch to introduce him to Vietnamese food and they didn't disappoint. Our food came out fresh and hot. The server made sure our water and tea stayed full. Very fun atmosphere in the dining area. Ordered a marinated pork banh mi to go because why not? Love this place.

If I was eating here myself, it would probably have been 5 stars. However, relatives were with me, and it gave me a different vibe. They can be harsh critics, but I feel very fair too. I ordered (dry) beef ho fun and they were on-point. The price point was in-line with inflation and seemed very reasonable with the portion they gave. I enjoyed it too much but at least took about 1/4 of it home rather than 1/2. I really liked how they offered dry or wet options whether I wanted beef, shrimp, or I believe chicken was another option. Not many places let you choose dry or wet and they just give it to you a certain way that they normally prepare it where language and translation can be an issue otherwise. I had the iced Vietnamese coffee which was fine, but it wasn't knocking me out of the park. I don't know what would have. I wouldn't say I'm much of a coffee expert, but I have been open to drinking black once in awhile, cream only more often, or cream and sugar if out and about and if the establishment typically puts in both. If I have to put it in, I tend to avoid sugar now because the low amount of sugar in cream is enough for me. The summer roll and peanut sauce was fine. Nothing really stuck out for me, but it certainly was not a bad meal at all. On their website, they describe themselves as "modern Vietnamese cuisine" and I agree with at this location. The decor and stylized building is definitely modern, and nuances such as offering dry or wet options for Ho Fun (wide rice noodles) would consider as "modern". Part of positive modernness is quality accessibility, and this place seems to have great food accessibility and communication. My relatives had the pho, and they felt the quality of the meat was too cheap. We felt that is it very possible that the quality of food has decreased overall due to climate change potentially. The tea was nice, the ambiance was beautiful, and we even liked how the waiting staff was allowed to push carts around to be not unnecessarily burdensome on carrying trays and entrees with hand for "aesthetic". There is enough parking even though you might have to park farther away if its busy. Their system of having numbered tables and then paying up at the register works well with this system. They have a good system that allows quality preparation, efficient timing, and service. There are 3 of these locations around the Philadelphia region.

We always order the tofu banh mi and today was no exception. Very disappointing. It was a very dry sandwich, veggies were not pickled and there is usually a creamy mayo sauce that was absent. The worst part though was the roll was way too crisp maybe stale not soft and delicious like it usually is. Plenty of other options, we won't be back.

Clean and spacious with delicious food! Servers are attentive and fast. I keep coming back for the H5 Bánh Mì with fresh and crunchy veggies (this one comes with pork but there are plenty of non pork options). Crispy spring rolls are a must! Broth in the fall and winter for me, so when the temperature drops I will definitely come back for the brisket or steak Pho. Payment happens at the front based on your table number. PLENTY of parking!

Decided on Pho for dinner tonight. I Wanted something quick and easy. I was with a group of 4, we were seated immediately. We sat down and were given ice water. I thought we would get hot tea also, but that would have been extra fee. After we placed our order we received our food about 10 mins later. Very fast. The restaurant was not busy at all. Everything was fresh. The waiter came to check on us periodically during our meal. I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Pho.

I love how spacious and open the restaurant is. Everything is fairly priced! Service was quick and we got our food fast. The medium pho was a perfect portion and had a lot of meat. Unfortunately have to take off a star because they don't have real sriracha. :( they have a knock off one that is toooo sweet for me.

I love Pho Ha Saigon! The food is consistent, so I know what to expect every time I go. They've recently started to charge $2 extra for additional sauce if you're taking the food out. This is a new practice for them, but if you want to swap hoisin for sriracha or chili paste, you can likely do that without paying the extra, but be specific when you order. If you want all of the sauces, you're likely to have the extra fee. If you sit inside, you can use the sauces as you please. It gets busy, but they have plenty of seating, so you should be seated shortly after arriving.

Came here on a Sunday night with my family of 8. This is a place I loved going for years. However the last few times, I have been more and more disappointed. My kids ordered two different types of milk teas and both of them were still powdery. The pho broth was bland. The white rice was undercooked with a weird sour taste to it. We ordered meats that were hard and chewy. My husband said his food was good, he ordered a banh mi. This will unfortunately be the last time we come here again. It has been nothing but disappointment the last few times with the food. No thanks.

Special shout out to our server, Gina, for making our visit and eating experience spectacular and we would request for her and refer friends to do the same! She recommended we try their Bahn Hoi selection part of the menu when we asked for something new (non-pho/ the more common Vietnamese known dishes). It came as a platter (see pic) that's large enough to share. It's basically DIY your own summer roll! We ordered 13. Ba Vi. It comes with rice paper (no-refillable for reg customers), ground beef stuffed with grape leaves, shrimp wrapped w/ sugarcane, & grilled ground pork. Sauces cost extra, unfortunately. The ambiance is spacious and relaxing.

Their food is excellent comparably to most of the other Vietnamese restaurants. The ambience of their restaurant is superior and the seats are nice and the service inside, the restaurant is excellent, but their delivery is outrageously. Highly expensive but the staff told me upfront that the service was expensive. They use an outside service, I think GrubHub or something.

Not bad. I had my usual go-to items at a pho resturant; the pho tai, pickled lemonade, and some spring rolls. All were pretty good. The pho broth was light and mildly flavored, which was what I was in the mood for. Only wish they provided the "usual" rooster brand of sriracha since the one they had has a strange sweet flavor (which some people might like). Next time I come here, I'm bringing my own hot sauce.

I've been coming here since they opened, and over the years the number of order errors or quality issues has climbed to the point where I've decided it's just not worth risking lunch or dinner. A few months ago I ordered a vermicelli bowl and the noodles were quite hot, not room temp to a bit warm as they should be, and have been everywhere else for the last 40 years. I inquired with the next staff to walk by who turned out to be a manager. She told me that the kitchen had probably run out of cold noodles so was using a newly cooked batch, as if that by itself was a reason for me to enjoy a hot bowl of bun thit. Foolishly I tried again last night: hot noodles. I also ordered a bowl of pho to go for my wife and it was a unique disappointment: when she prepared it, the broth was nearly water, no exaggeration. There was no flavor of pho spices or beef broth, not even salt. It was a bowl of noodles and beef in hot water. Yummy dinner! I have encountered vegetarian pho broth but this was even more flavorless. The only upside to this restaurant is that they are open later than every other pho place in the area. Open for what is uncertain now.

Not my first choice of pho place in the area but still ok food if you are craving pho late at night and the other pho places are closed. Their prices are definitely higher than the other pho places close by. However, in this case, I won't say higher price means better quality food. The last couple times I've had their pho, the broth tasted diluted. The flavor was still good but not as strong as it was compared to a couple years ago. Their main selling point for me was the tamarind chicken wings (although the most recent time I had it, the chicken wings were kinda bland) and the fried spring rolls. I could just order 50 of the spring rolls and be satisfied. The service is a hit or miss. Sometimes the staff will be super attentive other times you wouldn't see them expect when they take your order. You also have to go up to the cashier with your table number to pay after you are done.

I drove to Philadelphia to a vet next-door to the restaurant. I had time to pick up some lunch so I ordered two different bun mi hoagies and a pork on rice. I was asked if I wanted jalapeños in my sandwiches and I said no when I got home both sandwiches had jalapeño in them which was pretty upsetting as I drove two hours home to enjoy my meal. I'm from New York City and I've had many kinds of Vietnamese food so I definitely know what good food taste like. These sandwiches were dry, had minimal toppings and nothing special on top of being spicy when I asked for no spice.

nothings better than a warm bowl of pho. service is fast and attentive, the place is huge and accommodating and photos is pretty good. it is in our first choice, but we definitely hit this place up every once in a while. prices are average and you can get a good meal for two for about 40 bucks.

I tried so hard to like this place because it looks very clean and well kept inside- it also has a ton of parking available which is obviously a plus. I've tried it twice because I didn't care for it the first time. The pho broth just isn't the best imo- and I can normally deal with it because it's not terrible, BUT the service here is sooooooo slow and you never see your server other than when they take your order. The food also takes long and usually doesn't all come out at once- my bf and I got our food before our daughter- she waited an additional 10-15 minutes for her food (not to worry, she ate all mine by the time her food got to us lol) The other dishes we got here were good (that's why I rated three stars) Last thing- we ordered taro bubble teas- the plastic to go cups they use break when you put the straw in. they fall into the drink and are not safe. Lucky I caught the piece because it was sharp stiff plastic. I ended up trashing my daughters tea because we took off the lid and realized pieces had fell into her drink as well.

The pho here is decent and has def curbed my pho cravings! One of the older ladies that works here is also sooo sweet :') The food is decent, but I didn't rate this place 5 stars because I don't think it's the best spot for pho imo. The prices are very fair and service is fast, which is a plus! I have been here a few times after church on Sunday and even though the place is packed, I have never had to wait that long to be seated. I've also tried their banh mi and vermicelli noodles. I am a big fan of vermicelli noodles and this dish is pretty solid here, but wished they put more meat.

I ordered to-go here because of Covid-19. Of the places I've ordered to-go, this place had the best packaging. The noodles came in a microwave safe box and the broth came in large containers. The vegetables came in a huge bag and the serving size was humongous! I think the bowls were nice because you could heat up the broth and just pour it into the plastic bowl instead of transferring all the contents into another bowl. Though one thing was missing: chopsticks and spoon. It wasn't a problem for me because I have it at home, but someone may have needed it? The flavor is good. I think the broth is lacking something (like a deep beef flavor?) but the noodles are good, and the vegetables were fresh. I wish the jalapeños were spicy though because it was not at all. The jalapeños tasted like bell peppers, which was disappointing because I love spicy foods. Overall, this place is good and affordable, but it isn't amazing either. I'd go here again because it's convenient and tastes good.

I normally order take out from this place so i decided to dine in this time. For those potentially asking about parking this restaurant has a parking lot thats shared by other stores in a plaza so no issues there trying to find parking. For my dine in experience I decided to order Pho Chin Dac Biet which is their Well done deluxe in Large. This rice noodle soup consist of Well done brisket, fat brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe. This choice is my go to if anyone is not feeling the rare beef in their pho. For starters I absolutely love their spring rolls as it comes out nice and crispy with slices of lettuce and pickled carrots. The appetizer also cones with a side of fish sauce to dip the springs rolls in. I also order summer rolls which is one of my favorites to get when Im eating pho. I definitely can taste the difference in quality when you dine in versus dining out. When you dine in they lut more meat into the summer rolls and when you dine out you can tell they are a bit stingy. Nonetheless the summer rolls are amazing dipping it into the peanut sauce. For an even more kick I recommend adding a little chili sauce into it as this puts your taste buds into another level. For the main course the Pho Chin Dac biet was so good!!!! The broth is not too salty which is what I like. When you add in the bean sprout, basil leaf, and jalapeños to it definitely enhances the flavor. I love to do a little squeeze of lime and also added in sriracha and hoisin sauce not too much to cover the flavor but enough to compliment everything together. My only gripe is the service. When I was ordering my food I felt rushed. I've ordered at this restaurant to go literally well over 20 times last year alone and I know what they have and what they did not do. All I asked the waiter was for my summer rolls to not have veggies in it and the waiter gave a nasty attitude because of my request and didn't even get all my order down. The food is good but the service just needs some work.

I love this place. As soon as I walk in I'm greeted and seated. Social distancing is maintained, they provide hand sanitizer and everyone is wearing a mask. Our ordered were immediately taken and it wasn't long before our food arrived. Everything tasted sooo good. Whenever I want something nice and hot to warm me up, this is the place to go. They never disappoint.

Food and service is amazing. Would really like the pho's broth temperature to be much higher, though. Still going to frequent this place because it really is the greatest. Best time to go is during a rush. Trust me.

Might be the cleanest and best pho spot in Olney, but not Philly. Every time I come here they get at least one thing wrong. It's confusing because the waitresses/waiters are friendly and seem competent...they even read back my orders. So I'm not exactly sure where the disconnect comes from. If I come here I need to order what I already tried before to not be disappointed. It's also kind of pricey. All and all, this spot is just okay imo.

I had a wild ride a few weeks ago that led me to Pho Ha Saigon. Starting with fast food, my plan quickly changed to Vietnamese, where I found this spot on GrubHub and called in a huge order for a picnic. I need everyone to understand how delicious this spot is, and how much you get for a take out order. I was skeptical getting soups to-go, but there was plenty to go around here. I got to try two banh mis, one breakfast themed one and one pork classic one, and they were both on a great roll with a good balance of toppings to meat. The mayo on it was so creamy but not salty at all, but it leveled out with the flavors of the sandwich. Now, the soups. While the beef balls were a little small, the soup itself was delicious and not as expensive as other places. And the best part was a beef soup with pork foot in it- I forgot the name, but the meat in it was vietnamese pork roll (great texture) and the beef brisket in it make me beg for more. I ate this over 3 meals or so, and it satisfied my urge to eat out for a long time. There are plenty of options in the area, and they all look great, but I highly recommend that people passing through think about Pho Ha Saigon for their banh mis and soups. They brightened my weekend!

The amount of meat you pay for is amazing! Pho is not as good as pho 75 but it's decent enough for the price. So far my fav place to get bun Bo hue because of the high quality ingredients. I feel like half of my bowl was full of meat. I had their hu tieu kho nam vang which I was not a fan. Different from what I usually get in the west coast.

Uneducated waiter, they never train their staffs and let new recruits wander randomly act like a boss I went with a friend and order Phở Bò viên (phở with beef ball only) The waiter brought phở tái bò viên and persistently accuse me of ordering Phở Tái Bò Viên, evenwhen I come with a friend (he heared the whole thing). In facts for 38 years of my life I only order beef ball phở and never order beef into my phở, and all of the people who knows me enough know about it The waiter somehow thinks that repeating of accusations can hypnothize an unhappy customer, he must have used too much drugs or something

Very very very yummy broth! I love having Pho on cold day, it warms my soul. Service is fast, the staff is nice and the food comes out in less than 15 minutes. Even the take out comes out in a reasonable amount of time. My mom and I always get extra Thai Basil, because we love the fresh bite it gives the broth. I highly recommend a side of the grilled pork (off the bone), it has a nice grilled flavor, a little sweet, garlicky and bomb lol. You get a decent amount for $5.00. Overall good local place for Vietnamese food and consistent quality food all around. Great place to bring the fam or a date night with bae

Adams Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia is a center for the Vietnamese community. The neighborhood is full of pho and com (noodle & rice) houses that are about as authentic as you can find on the East Coast. No, it is not yet as diverse as Garden Grove, CA, with little differentiation between southern and northern style cuisine, but what they do have, they do well by and large. Pho Ha Saigon benefits from being a fairly new structure; well designed and spacious enough (in a post industrial sort of way) to attract and hold your attention, with a respectable and capable kitchen. The service staff is generally bilingual and large enough to stay on top of their work. Their HVAC is strong enough to suck the front doors closed and create a semi-vacuum between them, making prying them open to enter or exit a chore. Hopefully, that also means there is sufficient circulation to be sucking out any Covid suspended in the air. I went with a smaller bowl of Pho Ga (Chicken Noodle Soup), Spring Rolls, and takeout for the family of Grilled Beef w Vermicelli, and Roast Pork/Beef Banh Mi). The bowl was still large enough for a few goldfish to swim comfortably. The chicken broth had very good flavor profile and there were plenty of accessories (Thai basil, sprouts, jalapeno slices, & lime wedge) to adapt to my tastebuds. The sliced breast meat was downright generous, and the under the surface nest of thin rice noodles, more than adequate. While the Spring Rolls were generic, with standard sweet dipping sauce, the pho was a pleasure to slurp with flat spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other. It filled me completely. I suppose the broth could have been somewhat deeper in secondary seasoning and simmer time, because I found myself suffering a mild case of MSG poisoning on the way home. I am allergic to it, and I should have warned them when ordering. Still, MSG really shouldn't even be in their kitchen. Chalk it up to my oversight. I won't remove a star, but reserve the right to let people know in case they are also sensitive to it. That evening my family went after the Banh Mi and Vermicelli dish with gusto. The sandwiches were stuffed and had great taste with strong roll contributions. The Grilled Beef was succulent and in small thin sliced pieces. Delicious. But for my bout with the food additive, I totally enjoyed my meal at Pho Ha Saigon, and will not hesitate to return with memo to self about inquiring about MSG.

Hu Tieu Nam Vang was okay over all, except one key ingredient: The Liver. I couldn't eat the Liver pieces bc it tasted overnight, heavy distasteful in the mouth, chewy texture.

In general, I like to eat here because the place is spacious, the food is acceptable .. What I am more disappointed with is the support of a Cambodian vn guy waiter who uses the language of asking the most rude to customers. A question I can not accept it . welcome I have ever metaccept, he asked after this do you go casino gambling? I'm not a gamer, why ask such a question to a customer or this shop requires the waiter to ask such a question to the customer? I would like the business owner to take care of the honor and reorganize. Waiters talk nonsense, listen to useless stories, respect our time as guests, the most rude welcome I have ever met

Dined here for lunch today with a friend. We were seated very quick. Service was fast but the fried food came out cold. Hmmmmm makes us think they fry their rolls in advance. This is how they must do their rolls because we overheard another customer saying his rolls were cold. Seating area: pretty big and clean.good for large groups. Food: Seafood & vegetable (Hu Tieu Do Bien) the broth before adding the usual toppings of bean sprouts, fresh cilantro (I DO NOT LIKE) and basil, thin slices of hot peppers (if you're brave), and a squeeze of lime, was ok. I've tasted better broth. I was expecting a more robust flavor. Once I added my sauces there was an explosion of taste. The shrimp were a nice size. The Octopus was tender. My friend had oxtails which were tender but bland. Service: The server wasn't helpful in making suggestions. Once the food was brought to us, we didn't see our server again for about 20 minutes. Other Servers had to assist us. We looked around and most of the staff was sitting & eating lunch. The cashier was impatient. She didn't give us a chance to pull out our money before repeating the cost. I had to ask her to give us a chance. Parking: there's a lot so you're good. I will come back to give them another try Enjoy

Pho Ha Saigon..unfortunately both a hit and a miss. I was in a brothy mood and was looking for some good pho. Much to my disappointment I was told that they do not make any vegetarian or seafood pho broth. So that was a miss. I was still hungry so I decided to stay and order a Vegetarian Banh Mi and basically a Shrimp Stirfry. The Stirfry was awesome, fresh and very fulfilling. The Banh Mi on the other hand...another miss. Due to the limited options I will not be returning, but the person who served me was amazingly welcoming and sweet. Always a plus in my book, definitely a hit!

Covid edition - came here recommended by a friend for viet food. I was looking forward to having bun bo hue but I knew it wouldn't taste the same as freshly served as it was takeout only. We got bun bo hue and two summer rolls. I didn't know what to expect but I didn't like the broth. The taste was so strong of lemongrass and fish. The summer rolls were bland and there wasn't much to it. On the bright side, I did like the packaging that it came in as it was sturdy and spacious.

The interior was Purty~ Came here just for the Bahn Mi because I had friends tell me that they were really good. So we came on a quiet Sunday afternoon, and I'm not sure if they were killing the animals fresh for us in the back, but it took over one hour to get our Bahn Mi! And the restaurant was pretty empty! We were one of few tables there. The Bahn Mi was pretty good, but not good enough for the price, and the wait.

I have been to Pho Ha several times. Actually more then that. I would consider myself a regular. I usually get Pho from here once a month for about the last year. The pho here is really good. They always have a study flow of guest so it is never really empty here. The menu is fairly easy to navigate and you can even order by number. Tip: rare steak pho #21. The reason I gave this place 3 stars is because it's service is spotty. Sometimes the gentlemen working there are on and other times, like today - it is horrible. We had to wait quite a bit for a server to come to our table. Also when I inquire about my drinks, the server told me that they are busy and we would get our drinks later. It came off as rude. I'm not sure if the pho and food here is good enough to make the "language barrier" excuse for rude servers.

I eat from here at least once a wk and each time their food is always as I like it, not to mention the older lady is very friendly. I definitely enjoy eating from here.

Been here various times from 2018 to 2022 and onward. Food is always served warm and properly. I always get my usual Vietnamese pork chops and they never disappoint. There's a parking lot in the front and sometimes it does get crowded. The door is also extremely heavy to push but they're not closed, it just requires extra force. They're always crowded, so that's good business which says a lot about their food. I've never had an issue with the food. Occasionally, the elder woman waitress catches an attitude but it varies on different days, depending on her mood. They also provide take out which takes 15-20 minutes depending on the menu item. Payment can be taken to the front desk after meals. The seats next to the windows are always the coldest. Their bathrooms are also usually very clean. Good place.

I have had almost everything on the menu here. I live two minutes away. I've been their customer for the last 6 yrs. They have the best pork chops platter and summer rolls for their pho almost everytime their broth is warm not hot. I don't like it so much. I've had friend and family said the same.

Some of my fave pho !! Ive been an avid pho lover since my childhood and this place definitely hits the spot every time. For the price, quantity, and quality of the pho, it really can't be beat. My go to order is usually #20, the pho chic Dac biet and I LOVE IT. There's always a good amount of noodles and beef. The broth always has great beef flavor and aromatics that just feels perfectly cozy. If we are feeling hungry, we will usually get the pork/shrimp spring rolls also, which taste great and are perfectly crisp. The perfect comfort food! Only knocking a star off b/c the service is never anything special, but straight to the point. The restaurant is spacious and pretty clean. Come here for your pho fixings!

My friends and I came on a weekday for dinner and had no problem getting a seat since this place is pretty big. This would be a good place for a bigger party. The ambiance of this place is clean, modern, and pretty nice. Their menu looked pretty extensive and have a wide variety of Vietnamese foods - from the Banh Mi (sandwiches), to a few types of noodle soups, dry noodles, and rice dishes. However, my biggest gripe with this place is that the attitude of the waiters was kind of rude and that they had absolutely ZERO vegetarian options when I asked; they couldn't even accommodate me or be flexible and offer something like "We can do xyz instead". I asked two separate waiters if they had vegetarian dishes, and they simply said, "No, not tonight." And that's it. That aside, my friends loved their food - the pho and the shrimp dry noodle (bun). I had their chicken pho with vegetables, which tasted great but felt a bit oily. Plenty of parking here.

As I've mentioned on here many times, you can't throw a rock around my job without hitting a Pho restaurant. Of the 3 that I have reviewed so far, this is the Goldie Locks of the bunch. It's better than the worst one, not as good as the best. We've been here twice so far, and I think that twice is where my experiment stops. Both times have been ok, but ok doesn't cut it when there is competition LITERALLY on the other side of your building. Both times we were here there were just things that could've been handled better. Both times we sat for a longer time than we should have, waiting to place our orders and to receive the bill. Both times, the staff was aloof or almost annoyed. Both times, tables that sat after us, that had patrons that spoke Vietnamese, were waited on first and more enthusiastically. The Pho is good, the place is clean, the price is reasonable, but there is just something so antiseptic and blah about this place. Its remarkably unremarkable, and again, there is WAY too much competition in the IMMEDIATE vicinity.

So, I wasn't intending to come here. I was looking for another Pho spot on the same block. But it wasn't open. This place is in a new building and is very noticeable driving down Adams Avenue. The service was quick even during the lunch rush. The 3 of us enjoyed the Pho including my aunt who has never had Pho before. The Pho comes in both small and large sizes. The large is LARGE. Be prepared to take some home if you don't have a grand appetite. They had adequate take home containers. I did try a Thai milk tea with boba and it was NOT good. The boba was grainy in the middle and the tea itself was not recognizable in flavor.
