“ Was in town for the weekend snowboarding and this local joint has some of the best Pho I’ve ever had. Noel was super sweet and very attentive was single-handedly running six tables, but had the food out in less than six minutes. The atmosphere is classic and it doesn’t feel like a chain. I got there around 4:50 and it was the perfect time by the time I left at 5:30. They were packed door-to-door definitely my local joint when I come back. ”
“ Very quiet. You can hear everyone's conversation. Including the cook yelling in the kitchen. My soup was good. My husband had delicious pho. The spring rolls were made kinda sloppy but still tasted good. The pictures in the menu are not their pictures. When I asked for a soup that I saw a picture of in the menu, I was informed they dont have it. Instead I settled for a seafood egg noodle pho. Still very good food. ”
“ This is a small family restaurant with traditional menu. I suspect some of the poor reviews are due to language barrier, which is unfortunate. Delicious food. Great pho broth. I like the vermicelli bowls, I often order this in Vietnamese restaurants, I feel like theirs was very well balanced in veggies vs vermicelli and meat. Nothing left over at the end for me. Spring rolls and peanut sauce were delicious. Planning to come back for sure. Note: if possible bring cash, as they reasonably have a cash price and a credit card price for all dishes due to credit card fees. ”
“ Been years since I've been here. I used to go here as a regular throughout college and I'm glad I was able to stop by for dinner. The food was incredible, plenty of spice options too. The atmosphere was cozy and warm, and the service was great. I was well taken care of and I can't wait to come back again next time I'm in Flagstaff! ”
“ Vietnamese food is always very easy to eat. Although the pho in the US isn't quite as fragrant, and the rice is a bit oily, I'm still very happy to have a delicious meal with the flavors of home. Wishing the restaurant all the best, làm ăn phát đạt ”
