| - Came here for dinner wanting to try a new pho place with my parents. Arrived and were seated right away but saw that it picked up immediately.
We ordered a large house pho, fresh rolls, and the meat platter. We asked to hold onto the menu as we weren't sure how big the portion sizes were, but given a hesitant look as the waiter explained they didn't have enough menus and that if we wanted anything else we could get the menu back later.
Food came a little slower than other pho places we've been to. And the time it took between getting our appetizer and mains was a little longer than preferred.
Fresh rolls 4/5
Hard to go wrong with fresh rolls to be honest.. but expected a few more pieces or larger pieces with a $7 price tag.
House Pho 3.5/5
Nice clean broth. Mom really enjoyed the noodles, said they had a nice texture to them. Could have had a little more meat in it though. Ended up ordering another one of these because it's a little smaller than your average pho place.
Bbq meat plate 3.5/5
Pork belly skewers were fantastic! Would have been happy if the whole platter was just that. Flavor on the chicken was good, but a little dry. Same with the beef short ribs.
Overall the food was good but service needed some work. They have good intentions of being friendly, but I think they still have some work to do. After we ordered, a waiter came and asked if we liked spicy. Literally words were "do you like spicy" with no other context. Then, when our pho came, my family is used to family style, so we asked for 3 bowls to share. It took 5 minutes to get 3 bowls, so we just sat there staring at our noodles. Waters were also never refilled. Has potential though as time goes on.
Good place to come with friends if everyone is paying for their own meals, but as a family I would go to another pho place as prices are higher (even with the 10% discount) here and it doesn't seem like the dishes are really family-style friendly.
