Customer Reviews
Really good pho!!! I ordered the p.6 small size to go , but I ended up dinning here it was nice and quiet. I asked if I could just dine in the waitress allowed me. The service was nice enough to bring me a bowl very sweet and some water. They also reheated my broth, they didn’t have too but did anyway that’s what really stood out. That’s hospitality. It was delicious! Great portion too, it was just what I needed on a hot summer Miami night 🤭🤭
The restaurant atmosphere was pretty alright! Looks like the previous establishment was a bar so plenty of TVs and dining area. The service was a bit lackluster as the staff were sitting around in booths much farther from where everyone else was dining and on their phones so it was difficult to get their attention a second time for checks. Lastly, the food was alright. I’m not too sure why the rating at this place is as high as it is, but perhaps the quality of the food changes depending on the time. I came in later at night two hours before closing and ordered the beef pho and Thai milk tea with boba, neither of which was stellar. The pho broth lacked the depth of flavor that it should have; the beef was discolored which means it was cooked long ago, oxidized and was reheated in the broth
we sat down, everything just felt right — cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and food that smelled incredible even before it hit the table. We started with the gỏi cuốn (fresh spring rolls), and honestly, they were some of the best I’ve ever had. So fresh, packed with shrimp, lettuce, and herbs, and that peanut sauce? Unreal. I could’ve eaten it by the spoonful. Then came the phở, and it was pure comfort in a bowl. The broth was rich and flavorful — you can tell it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were soft and the beef was perfectly tender. Every bite just hit the spot. You can really taste the love and effort they put into their food. If you’re looking for a place that serves real, soulful Vietnamese cooking, this is it. I can’t wait to come back!
Service was friendly, food was delicious, atmosphere was nice. This spot feels hidden gem due to it's location but definitely worth a try. The banh mi is also better than I've had at other places.
I have tried pho before and I’ve never liked it, but this place is truly something else. It was very good, fast and nice service. Don’t listen to the other reviews because this place is definitely worth checking out.
