My favorite pho restaurant! 32. Tái had lots of meat! Picture is immediately after placing rare beef in broth, so it hadn't cooked yet. Very good portion. It came with the usual (separate) sides of bean sprouts, jalapeño, hoisin, Thai basil, lime, onions and cilantro in baggie. The pho comes in its own bowl with the noodles & meat and a separate container for the broth so it's not soggy. It was still piping hot when we picked it up. 41. Pho Ga was also delicious and a good portion of chicken. 1. Gỏi Cuốn - Spring Rolls are also always delicious. There is cilantro inside, so beware the if you don't eat cilantro!

Excellent! This was our first time trying this place, and it was awesome. The Pho was piping hot, even after delivery, and all of the promised accoutrements came with it. Just know the meat was raw as it would be in the restaurant, but it was already thinly sliced, and the broth cooked it nicely. I would have liked to see a little more protein in the dish, but it was still great. The ragoon was crispy and had a generous portion of crab. Of course, we would rather have tried this restaurant in person, but when you are at home recovering from surgery and can't go anywhere, this did just great! 16.

I will say, The Pho Ga was great, and the 8. Gỏi Cuốn Thịt Nướng Sài Gòn Style - Spring Rolls were so flavorful! That being said.. The Strawberry Milk Tea tasted shockingly similar to amoxicillin, and the thai tea was earthier than any I have had before. Maybe personal preference but was not a fan. The 31. Phở Filet Migon was disappointing- nothing like the picture, simply soup rice and meat. Meat was delicious but I was sad about the missing shrimp and egg rolls as pictured. Everything was hot and well packaged!

I wanted to give this place a try. I ordered the Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò. The shrimp was cold and tough. The meat was bland. The lettuce was wilted. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they are a lot smaller than other pho places. They were almost as small as egg rolls. Plus the rice paper was extremely thin. It tore easily. I also ordered the filet mignon pho. It wasn't savory at all. I'll go back to my usual pho places.

This is our new go-to pho place! Delicious and good portion sizes. The spring and egg rolls were so fresh. Would order again!
