The atmosphere is great & the decor, beautiful. The food is decent; I would recommend the curry rice but definitely not the fresh spring rolls.

This is my favourite pho in the city. The broth is always full flavoured & aromatic. I love that the grilled chicken pho comes with lots of fresh vegetables & the service is great & fast.

I love authentic Vietnamese food, & this seemed promising from the appearance & high ratings, but it was disappointing. Worst fried rolls we've ever had. Dishes were lacking interest, & ingredient quality was sub par. Maybe use some fresh mint? Napkins were laughable, like toilet paper. Is that how you're trying to save money? I'll never forget that detail. Mayonnaise in the salad dressing is also not authentic (in my experience) & it's not a good choice. No option for leaving out fish sauce from the noodle salad dressing (partner is vegetarian) & soy sauce given as the alternative. This is a joke. Are you not making any sauces in-house? In short, the many issues here are all management decisions that could be fixed.
