Jack's Pho' is an amazing, family owned and ran local treasure. The food is exceptional. Everything is fresh and tastes so good, you can't stop eating. The service is fast and friendly even when they're very busy. The newly remodeled interior is modern yet still cozy.

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 had the chance to try some new flavors here that I hadn’t experienced before, and it was a really interesting meal 😊🍜 The Hot Crispy Sauce dish and the Lao stir fry were both absolutely amazing — full of bold flavor and cooked really well. They were definitely the highlights of the meal 🔥 The shrimp rolls were also very tasty and made a great appetizer. I especially liked the flavor of the pork dumplings, which was rich and delicious. However, the texture felt a little unusual for my personal taste, though that’s just my preference. Overall, it was a great opportunity to try something different, and I enjoyed exploring these unique flavors. I’d definitely come back to try more dishes in the future 👍✨

I cannot recommend the green curry. It was not spicy, very sweet. The carrots, onions and green peppers were raw. The shrimp were tiny. The saddest part was the fact there was very little sauce. After pulling out the raw veggies and tiny shrimp my photo shows how much sauce was in that small shallow bowl it was served in. Very disappointing, especially for the cost.
