Today 1/31 - maybe the normal workers were sick… cause the other reviews look good. 1. Banana Leaf Special Pho Large 1. It just seemed like a normal normal normal Pho. 2. Not a large. 3. Not Banana Leaf Special. 4. Nothing special and the Pho flavor, the flavor of the actual soup - was the most watery that I have ever experienced. 2. #23 Grilled Beef on Sticks - it was really beef strips. The smallest strip you could put on a stick, it was like a ribbon. It looked nothing like the picture. 3. Spring rolls - was there meat or protein? Don’t think so. 1. Peanut sauce, watery, no nuts for garnishing. 2. Poorly wrapped 3. No shrimp, pork, or chicken 4. Boba tea - delicious, but served w meal, maybe 30 minutes or more later. We had to wait for this incredible meal for at least half an hour no waters or anything was brought to us during that time. I actually asked for waters when I made my original order to no avail. 5. Hot coffee w condensed milk. Is it possible to taste worse than instant? Very poor coffee. We had soccer this morning and were starving. I didn’t ruin it for my 8 year old by telling him how sub par this was. We smashed. He loved his Boba. Avoid this place.

The place is so pretty and quaint! I got the Pho with steak, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth is the most flavorful I’ve tried so far, and the portion is perfect. I’ll certainly be back to try their chicken pho and other items! Also, the service is excellent - the woman that served me in the afternoon was very sweet and helpful. Will be taking friends here as well.

Thai food can be such a hit or miss with me, sometimes its too spicy and sometimes its too bland, but this place was perfect for me. Phone ordering was easy, food was warm & ready to eat in 15min, staff was friendly and could tell I was a first time customer. Indoors was decorated nicely, and I would have enjoyed the ambiance of eating onsite if I dined in instead. We ordered pad thai chicken, tom yum soup with rice, mee ka tang with pork and a side of crispy egg rolls. Pad thai had a nice roasted flavor without being overwhelmed by sauce, and the mee ka tang was yummy without that (too often) msg aftertaste. Rolls were crispy as promised, with a simple meat paste center. Everything was reasonably priced and portioned. Would definitely be here again if in the area!
