Interesting place. Fri 1130 am. Place empty except for the long line for lottery tickets. Service was ok. Mom and pops organization. Kinda of funny. She yelling at him in Vietnamese from the kitchen all the way to the front of the restaurant . He doesn’t say anything, he just continues working like he’s not hearing her. A modern day, Vietnamese Archie Bunker. The food was phenomenal. I had a steak and shrimp pho. Good amount of steak, good amount of shrimp in it - very tasty They do serve alcohol domesticated and Asian international beer . Come here for the food. Don’t come here for the service. Their service isn’t rude. It’s just laid-back. ;)

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Portions are huge for the price. Flavor is there. They have really upgraded the inside since we first came 3 years ago. Boba is great, and definitely less sweeter than what you’d get at Pho Square in Loves Park. This is a classic spot that we return to regularly!
