This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in Phoenix. The food is fresh and doesn't have added ingredients like msg. Gluten free options are available, diary free too, like the Thai iced tea. If you are vegan just let her know. There's even a vegan pho available. Unlike other restaurants justina can tell you exactly what's in the dish.
Justina, the owner is a true host. She gets to know all her customers but also give you space if you need it.
The service is impeccable. The water is always filled to the top in your glass. And the plates cleared off the table when you're done. Speaking of water Justina puts fruit in her water and makes it naturally flavored with an essence of watermelon, mint, citrus or pomegranate seeds. it's a true treat just to drink H2O. If you need it plain just ask!
People who eat at Cyclo are very friendly and I've sat there having a general conversation with complete strangers. Fun times.
And if you like beer or wine, bring it! It's Byob!
