What a delightful Vietnamese neighborhood restaurant! So friendly service and a delicious meal! The bun was different from any I've had before, with a brothy, flavorful sauce and fresh mixed herbs. I asked for a bowl to enjoy mixing all the ingredients before chowing down. The portion was also large enough for dinner later. Really a great find!

Cozy Northern Vietnamese noodle house right by Kaiser, and we were able to get a table for 3 during the lunch rush with no problem since most folks were getting pickup and dashing back to the hospital. We had the beef pho special, chicken pho special (which does come with round steak for some reason?), and the bun cha thit nuong (grilled pork with meatballs, sides of herbs and vermicelli. Food came out speedily, and everything was solid, though the meatballs in the bun cha were a little hard. Nice fresh noodles though!

I love this place, it is a perfect place to treat yourself after your doctors appointment at Kaiser! I always feel healed after eating their pho. I love the noodle shape and texture. Their spring rolls are also tasty. The broth is really magical. They are always friendly and prompt. Treat yourself, your body will thank you!

Cute little cafe/resturant. The pho was pretty good very standard flavors with no bells or whistles. The broth was clear and had a very clean finish. The spring rolls came with a giant bowl of emulsified peanut sauce which was interesting. The coffee was prepared to order and it looks like they keep a clean coffee bar set up. Nice strong traditionally prepared Vietnamese coffee offered both hot and cold. Staff were attentive and quick. Overall a very nice neighborhood spot for a quick bowl of pho or a coffee.

They are conveniently located near Kaiser so I got a chance to try this spot after an appointment. I got their small beef noodle soup special. Their broth isn't as flavorful or oily as other restaurants but it is very clean and comforting. It came with a good amount of beef, and the noodles were a great texture. Service was great and the servers were attentive. The restaurant itself isn't that big but it's very comfortable. I will be back if I'm in the area!

Convenient lunch spot with reasonable price and fast service. They make authentic northern style pho (which I personally enjoy more because it's on the savory side) vs the southern style pho with all the bean sprouts and all the other toppings/sauce to dress it up (I find it too sweet sometimes). After turtle tower restaurant closed down their 2 locations in the city, it's been hard to find a place that specializes in northern pho. Broth is clean and they give you a decent amount of protein in the bowl. The noodles they use with their pho are wide and tender.The chicken broth is better than their beef broth in my opinion.

It wasn't bad. I had the pho ga. It's right across from mt. Zion so super convenient. I wonder if the pho Bo would have been better. Parking is street parking only. Menu is very limited

Went here for lunch and it was busy. But since I was by myself, I got seated right away sharing a table with someone else which I didn't mind. I ordered the #4 which is the Chicken Rice noodle soup special that comes with free range chicken and rare steak. The pho came out fast and I wished I had ordered the large. The regular was a bit small but will definitely order up next time. Since the service was so quick, I was in and out within 15 mins. The pho is decent and I'm glad this is close to work. Only thing I would say is that they did forget my Thai ice tea but it's ok, I understand they were really busy. But solid lunch choice and will be back again.

Love love their pho! Their broth is so delicious and flavorful! I like that they have chicken pho and beef pho but also a combination one with both chicken and beef! You can also customize your pho by asking them to take out whatever it is that you don't want. I think it's a different style pho than what some people are used to. It comes with a side of jalapeños and lime or lemon wedge. Gets pretty busy during lunch hours but once you order the food comes pretty quick. It might take some time to be seated or to order after being seated though.
