Absolutely despise the biodegradable containers, however the flavors don’t miss!
Goi Bun So - Seared Sea Scallop Salad was great. Fresh herbs and flavors. I was so full from the Pho Bo - Hanoi Beef Noodle Soup and a bit of the salad and I felt like I could not stop eating the salad.

Giving 5 stars because their pho is simply the best and I am never disappointed. However, the chicken dish was a huge rip off. Hardly filled half of the container, did not come with rice, and the chicken was very dry/a little tough. Absolutely not worth $32. I will stick with just pho from here on out.

The food was not the same as dining in. I eat there often. The chili paste, which I ask for on the side, is generally fresh made. This was not. The chicken was tender but was not as big of a portion nor cooked the normal way. I wonder if they have a "kitchen" for take out that is not a part of the restaurant. Just ok and not worth the money for takeout.

Best bowl of Pho Ive ever had. Anyone complaining about the size is wrong. For fifteen dollars, you cant beat this. It's exactly enough to leave you full after one serving. And the broth is so aromatic, anything store bought will pale in comparison. I will definit order this again!

I usually love their food but this time the duck was shriveled, dry, not fresh and the texture was as if tenderized with chemicals. The cardboard containers are terrible. They absorb the juices and become soggy. I will continue to dine there but not sure about ordering delivery again soon.
