I’m down from LA on business in Vallejo and wanted to try this place. Sometimes I’m a little leery because flavors can vary, but this restaurant did not disappoint. The service is great and the food is awesome. The shrimp spring rolls are bomb—I’d suggest adding Thai basil for even more flavor. The pho was excellent, and I ordered the rare steak. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I’ve already been back twice and will definitely keep coming while I’m up here for work. Not sure if it was the manager or owner, but they were very nice as well. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

We ordered the bún bò Huế and the combination phở, and both were very satisfying. The bún bò Huế had a deep, savory broth with a gentle spicy kick, lots of herbs, and a good mix of meats that made each bite interesting. The combination phở was clean and aromatic, with tender beef slices, meatballs, and tripe, and a well-balanced broth that wasn’t too heavy. Everything tasted authentic and comforting. The cucumber salad with prawn was also excellent—fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor with peanuts and generous toppings. Overall a great meal!

Fantastic pho at fantastic prices with fantastic service. The pho noodles here are perfectly cooked and delivered in giant bowls of flavorful broth full of deep umami. While the setting is very basic, the service is wonderfully friendly and attentive. Chef Hero is an incredible cook. Please come support this family business!
