Mi Xao

Tasty food. The stir fry with red curry was particularly good. Small dining room, maybe with 20 seats. They were doing a lot of take out business on a Monday in mid-February.

Gross. Food quality here is not a priority. Just ordered take out tonight and might as well have just burned $50. Not sure how an Asian restaurant can get rice wrong but they sure did. Rice was broken in pieces. Flavor was bland. Nothing impressive here.

Full disclaimer: Chef Toan is a friend — but this review comes from the heart (and stomach)! I haven’t tried the official Mi Xao menu yet, but I’ve had the rare treat of enjoying Chef Toan’s off-menu creations, and every single dish has been outstanding. From a Vietnamese-style steamed fish (yes, the one we caught ourselves!) to seafood pasta, sashimi with his signature dipping sauce, perfectly cooked beef steak — and even Southern-style shrimp & grits — he nailed every flavor. If the dishes on the menu are even half as good as what we’ve had, then trust me: you’re in very good hands.

If you're looking for a no frills but a friendly place, this is it. The pho was outstanding. Exactly what you would want in the broth. Sturdy noodles. The beef was tender. Fried rice and stir fry was great. Dumplings were very good. The spicy fish pho with shrimp was amazing. It was worth the stop

Best pho in town! Though I may be biased because it is the closest pho in town for me. There is always a good amount of meat and noodles in the soup and the broth is delicious! I love their jasmine tea, the first time I went there the man working the register suggested half sweet and half unsweet and I have done that ever since. Compared to most places these days the food gets out extremely quickly, I have only ever seen people have to wait a little while for take out ordered at the restaurant.
