I was fortunate to live in the dorms and apartments nearby campus. This allowed me to walk to this restaurant 2-3 times per semester for four years.
The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and their little daughter is really adorable. I think this is one of the very few Pho restaurants in the Tempe/Mesa area with a friendly owner.
They have a Mickey Mouse mural on the wall. It's extremely random, but it's a good conversation starter when you are with friends.
The food is good too. People say the Pho on Apache is better, but I can't tell the difference.
