Pho here was flavorful and rich. Make sure you ask about the size first though. Large size is the same size as regular in other places. We also ordered mangolian beef dish, it was good but a little on a sweet side. My kids ordered orange chicken, server brought us sesame chicken. We re like that’s fine probably it won’t be a big difference between those dishes. That sesame chicken was super sweet and dry, it was almost inedible. I would recommend this place specifically for pho not sure about rest of the food though.

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.

I recently visited IPHO#1 The Noodle House and had an overall disappointing experience. While the food was enjoyable, there were several significant issues that overshadowed the positives. Let's start with the positive aspects. The food at IPHO#1 The Noodle House was indeed good. The flavors were delicious, and the dishes were well-prepared. I particularly enjoyed their noodle dishes, which had a great balance of flavors and textures. The menu offered a variety of options to choose from, catering to different preferences. However, the negatives of my dining experience greatly outweighed the positives. The first issue was the excessive waiting times. It took a staggering 51 minutes to get our drinks after placing our order, which is unacceptably long. Furthermore, we had to wait for more than 35 minutes to receive our food. Such extended waiting times can be frustrating and dampen the overall dining experience. Our waiter, a young teenager, was distracted behind the counter and we had to ask about our food and drinks three times. Additionally, other customers waiting long periods got their drink orders confused multiple times. Another major concern was the cleanliness of the establishment. The floors were very dirty, giving a rather unhygienic impression. Additionally, the state of the bathrooms was disappointing as they were dirty and seemed to be poorly maintained. These aspects negatively affected the overall ambiance and comfort of the restaurant. The kitchen area also left much to be desired. The atmosphere inside the kitchen was chaotic, and we could hear arguments and conflicts among the staff. This not only created an unpleasant environment but also raised concerns about the professionalism of the establishment. Adding to this, it was surprising to see that the place was being run by early teens who seemed immature and unprofessional. This lack of experienced management was evident throughout our visit. Considering all these factors, I find it difficult to recommend IPHO#1 The Noodle House. While the food was good, the excessive waiting times, uncleanliness, and chaotic kitchen atmosphere detracted significantly from the overall dining experience. Improvements in these areas, along with the need for more professional and experienced staff, are necessary to enhance the quality and reputation of the establishment. It's important to note that this review reflects my personal experience and may not necessarily reflect the experiences of others. However, based on my visit, I would advise potential customers to exercise caution when considering IPHO#1 The Noodle House as their dining destination.
