    I've driven passed this place probably 1000 times over the years and finally decided to drop in for lunch. Absolutely delicious and I'm upset it took me this long to find out. The staff was very polite and respectful, the service was so fast I couldn't believe it, sat down and placed my order and within 3-5 mins I had everything at my table already. It is small inside but equally nice and cozy. 10/10 for sure!

    AMAZING PHO! Quality was the absolute best I have ever had and I love pho so much I’ve tried so many places. The meat was delicious and the service was great and not overbearing. 100% the only pho place I will be going to.

    Had to write a review because my co-worker took me here and the pho is DELICIOUS. I live in Moreno Valley and we have Pho restaurants there, but now I'm scared it won't be as good as this one. The broth is SOOOOO flavorful and the service is exceptional and fast.

    Relaxed Cafe with excellent food. Easily worth the trip from Apple Valley, if you love Pho and everything else Vietnamese. Also many Chinese combinations on the menu. Finished it all with a nice and strong Vietnamese coffee. Next time I'll add some food photos, was too hungry this time. If you like your tendon soft, they got that covered too.

    Made it just in time before Lunar New Years! Got myself some Phở and Gởi Cuốn. Felt like I was eating at my own việt household with my family. Simple but delicious. The service was also great, the manager spoke fluent việt , so if you know the language don’t be shy. If you’re kind of hesitant because of the beef in the Phở, the soup is traditionally piping hot enough to cook the beef while its being served. I ordered the Đặc Biệt version which has a moneys worth of meat. (Pause) Cant forget the cà phê sữa đá Hit just like Vietnam ????????

    I'm a big-time fan of Pho, and I'm lucky I live in Southern California where Pho restaurants are a dime a dozen. This one might not be in the nicest area. The location might not be the fanciest, but it's authentic, and the family running it provides great, friendly, competent service at a VERY fair price. I love Vietnamese coffee! Go check out Pho 72 in Inland Empire (San Bernardino) if you happen to be in the vicinity, great food, and awesome customer service. The location has an A-rating. Pho shouldn't be an expensive meal, but lately, a ton of locations are raising prices because they can.
