Pho Cao Restaurant and Bar

Average, at best. The fried rice was bland and the shrimp in it was dry. The BBQ pork in the rolls was mostly fat and the dipping sauce looked like a curdled peanut sauce but had decent flavor. The garlic noodles I paid $7 extra to add to my rice were missing. This place didn't make a good first impression and I won't be back. The empty dining room I was greeted by upon pickup may have been an early tip.

Exquisite broth, beautiful atmosphere, and service that couldn’t have been more perfect. Eddie provided amazing service. And Chef—where do I even start? You make one damn good bowl.

It's a bit of a darker atmosphere kind of place, more of a casual vibe not really for business meetings or fancy impressions. That said, the food was really good. A better quantity would have been appreciated but all of our dishes were delicious. They had 5-6 vegetarian options and could do vegan and gluten free on demand. Our waiter was very nice. They were a bit busy but still very aware of us and made sure we were well tended. There were bands playing while we were there and they were very good. They were all good but Blood Feud Family Singers were a nice treat. Overall it was very positive.

I love pho. This place delivers. It took a little bit longer for my vegan broth to be made. The carrots were a little mushy. The broth had a really great taste. I was surprised when they started setting up karaoke. There was a great atmosphere, everyone's friendly. Karaoke was great. Definitely a family setting. The service was friendly.

Clearly one of the most unique Vietnamese restaurants one will ever find anywhere. Set up to be a bar with live music with some booths, it can be visually confusing at first. Not a place for those craving natural lights and windows while dining. And visiting during off peak hours probably does not do justice. That said, the food was solid, and service was quite good. It’s recommended for those seeking unique joints, and those who enjoy dining at dive bar-like atmosphere.
