I loved this place. The staff were very helpful, and the food was amazing. They even guided me towards some other places in Chinatown to try.

The restaurant is clean and spacious. The restaurant server quickly ushered me to my table and politely asked if I would like tea, if not water. The welcome drink is then served in a paper cup. I ordered my usual Beef Special Pho which comed with beef steak, tendon, balls and stomach, and also a hot viet coffee. The pho comes in huge serving and lined with hugh generous portion of steak slices and other ingredients. The highlight of the pho would be the steak slices. It was fragrant and is tasty like the steak you would have ordered at a steak house. The Vietnamese cofffee was strong and also have a balanced taste with the amount of condensed milk and hot water combination. Highly recommended as well. Beats blue mountain and star bucks hands down. 😄

This is a fantastic Vietnamese noodle restaurant; I've eaten here many times. The location is easy to find, not far from the Garden Corner parking lot. Their beef noodle soup is incredibly flavorful, with plenty of beef, tripe, and beef balls—you won't need to order any extra meat to feel satisfied. Topped with basil and lemon, it's a truly delightful taste experience！

We were craving for some pho as a hangover cure and found this place! We were seated quickly when we arrived, and the room was already full! I ordered their imperial rolls, and the large #1 House special beef soup noodle, which comes with sliced lean beef, brisket, beef tendon, beef tripe, beef balls, and a side plate of bean sprouts, basil, jalopieno, and lemon. The imperial rolls were just alright; they didn't have enough flavor, lacking the distinct white pepper taste. I would try their shrimp spring rolls next time! The combination pho tasted delicious, the broth was fragrant, the noodles were cooked to the right texture, and it came loaded with meats. The staff was attentive, the food came out quickly, and they served hot tea! On top of that, the prices were really reasonable. Highly recommended!
