Uno de los mejores Pho que he probado. Me considero catador de Pho y lo busco a cada país que voy. Pocos requieren dejar el plato vacío y este es uno de ellos. Sumamente recomendable 👌🏾

The food was amazing! I took my mother during the May 24 long weekend. She loved it too! The food was so fresh & tasty... I forgot to take pictures.😅😋 I had number 18- Grilled Shrimp on vermicelli, it came with coleslaw & a vinaigrette dressing. My mother got number 19- Grilled Chicken on vermicelli also came with coleslaw & a vineigrette dressing. The servings are enough to fill you up. I would definitely be back to try another dish.

A classic that has been around forever. The pho is good, although inconsistent depending on how "young" the broth is (that who know, know ;) ). The noodles & everything else is always fresh. Definitely recommend. If you go early in the week it is a lot less busy. Great quick lunch spot. You can be in & out in 15-20 min of there are open tables.
