The noodle was perfect, the spring rolls was so fresh & flavorful. Just the a little bit lack of service. Even they have a lot of waiter but they dont fill our water. We have to ask everytime when our water is empty.

But the rest was perfect!

We ordered the special beef pho & the dry vermicelli (choose up to 3 proteins). The beef soup pho came with a huge portion of noodles which was amazing, & the flavour was perfect for me (light & simple!). The vermicelli with grilled protein was the best vermicelli I've had, I didn't pour the sauce in because the original flavour was already delicious. The vermicelli was cooked perfectly, with a chewy texture, & it wasn't too oily! The beef & pork were lean but very tender. Flavour was sweet & savoury! The service was excellent & the view was so beautiful. Will visit again!! Highly recommended😋

I went with a group of friends & settled with this place because they could accommodate a group of 12. The atmosphere was very pleasant & they had a cosy decor.

Unfortunately, the pho was very bland. The soup felt like it was diluted & was lukewarm. The noodles were in a clump & were overcooked. The meat was chewy & sparingly given. Overall, it's probably the worst pho I've ever had. Most of my friends also agreed the pho was bland compared to other small pho businesses. At least, the spring rolls were delicious. I really hope they improve their pho recipe...

The broth is extremely bland & is definitely not real ph?. I've been to Pho Ly Quoc Su in Vietnam & expected something similar, but this tasted like a poor imitation.

The noodles were unusually short, making them awkward & frustrating to eat with chopsticks.

Overall, this was a major letdown & not worth the money at all.

The stir-fried soft noodles are absolutely delicious

I was sitting on the terrace around 12:00. The food was amazing-the pho was savoureux & the skewers were delicious. Unfortunately, the server kept forgetting my chopsticks even after I asked several times, & by the time I got them, my noodles were cold. Another server (the one with the scarf) kindly checked in & apologized, even though it wasn't her table. Overall, great food but the service needs a bit of improvement.

The ph? was disappointing, noodles clumped together like paste, & even the meat came in a rubbery lump. Nothing about it felt fresh or properly prepared.

Definitely not authentic Pho & overpriced for the quality. I ordered a grilled chicken Pho soup & was greatly disappointed. The noodles were really overcooked. By the end of my meal they were too soggy to eat. The grilled chicken was fine & the broth lacked flavour. I won't be returning :(
