Great Main St spot!! Staff was super nice and nearby but not hovering Food was awesome....frrrrrresh! Great Springrolls...just the right amount of mint Got a BBQ Pork Bahn Mi and it was real damn good. The bread is AWESOME....like a cross between a baguette and a hoagie roll....toasted to perfection. Very fresh vegetables and the perfect amount of mayo. I am most definitely going back for this sandwich Excited to explore more of the menu!

I have not been here since before the pandemic. It has always been great. Great, fresh flavors and spices. Welcoming owner. Great place to get a bite and chill. I love the chili sauces and fresh vegetables. Portion size 10/10. Quality and freshness 10/10. Prices 10/10.

Their pho is great! I like their portions and the food came quick. In the past, they've had issues with customer service, but coming again after a few years, I had no problems and the staff was chill. Prices are more expensive than pho in other areas in the South Bay, but it's in line with everything in town.

The service was great. The food though, it was all delicious, filling, and well portioned. I added the chili oil and that was HOTTT. Worth it though.

Reviews are mixed, but my experience was alright and Id give 3.8/5. The pho broth is on the sweeter side and had a lot of flavor, which I liked. The egg rolls were probably precooked or sitting under a heat lamp since it came out literally a minute after ordering. The noodles in the pho were pre-cooked and one big clump, but I was able to give it a few stirs, and it was good to go. Overall atmosphere is dated. It's old style mom and pop. There was a worker in there playing a game or watching a drama on his phone with the speaker at max volume, so it was so distracting and annoying. Very rude to customers trying to dine. Service was good. Orders taken promptly, and the grandma came over to check up and refill waters.

For a last-minute pick, this restaurant did not disappoint! I usually research places beforehand but didn't get to do so for this spot. The parking situation isn't great. If you grab a spot right in front (parallel parking), you're in luck. (Side note: The people in this area don't seem very welcoming but that has nothing to do with this restaurant. I just had to point that out. We were stared at and not in a nice way.) As for food, my friend and I ordered brisket pho while my other friend ordered the chicken wonton soup (not pictured). The pho was delicious, though the portion was smaller than expected in my personal experience. My friend who ordered the chicken wonton soup enjoyed her pick. This was the first time she had eaten this kind of food and she raved about it to me later. My husband ordered a breakfast-type meal and he surprisingly loved it (he's very particular about food and he has never eaten something like this). The presentation is 10/10 and the bread was everyone's favorite. It was super fresh and the crispness was perfect. Everything came out to less than $90. For 4 people, that is affordable (in my opinion). The ladies were very sweet and you could tell they take pride in their business. As I told them before I left, we will dine here again!
