We were surprised by the ambiance and how well Danny, our server served us. He was the only one with over 5 tables, zipping through and getting our orders out quickly. Also loved the large portion (ended up splitting the bone in pho bowl). Hoping they’ll add more items to the menu

I got the Pho Nom bowl and it was absolutely delicious! I always test the broth before adding any veggies or sauce. The broth was simmered well and they took a lot of the impurities out to keep the focus on the flavor from the bones and seasonings used. The bone-in ribs were very tender and fell off the bone easily. I would definitely eat here again. Great service and helpful staff. Shout-out to James for the awesome service! 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely delicious spot for pho! The bone-in back rib pho is incredibly flavorful with tender, fall-off-the-bone meat – a definite standout. We only sampled the shrimp spring rolls this time, which were super fresh and tasty, but they do have a variety of appetizers to choose from. They also offer a great drink selection, and their happy hour from 2–5 PM features an awesome variety at solid prices. Big shoutout to James for the excellent hospitality and service – friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. We’ll absolutely be back to try more!

This place is great! I have been to almost all the pho places in SD. And there are a lot lol. But this one is fantastic! All beef broth which I’m a fan of vs chicken. Big portions, tons of super soft meats, and the egg rolls are super crunchy. They give cilantro as well as the normal greens and this bomb chili and lemon grass to add to the pho which is awesome! Danny was our server and he was very attentive and when we were waiting a while was super helpful. We will be back

this is my first time eating here, and it was amazing! walking in is beautiful, flowers and foliage adorn the ceiling. the food is delicious, and meat is massive. our server Olivia was very courteous and helpful. she gave her opinion on which drinks to try and I'm glad I took her advice. I ate their signature pho and tried their galaxy tea. would recommend this place to everyone! 10/10

generous portion, the no soup pork noodle was great. free drink for good review. i think taste better than Viet Nom in SD, but from the way they decor and the operation style, are they under same boss? (oh same boss as Steamy piggy)

This place is hella cute inside — total Instagram gold. Perfect for catching up with friends and snapping some aesthetic pics. The food? Delicious! Bowls ARE HUGE. Shoutout to our server Danny who gave us amazing drink recs — I went with the Thai tea (so good!) and my bestie got the yuzu lemonade, which was super refreshing. Also... let’s just say the view at the table wasn’t the only thing worth admiring 10/10 recommend — vibes and food
