Thanks to Yelpers out there for another great find. So many mediocre noodle places have popped up in recent years that it's extra pleasing to discover a place that serves truly authentic dishes. The pho broth was one of the best I've had in a very long time, obviously simmered a long time with just the right balance of flavors. When I mentioned that I liked a higher spice level, instead of giving me sriracha (which changes the flavor), they provided some minced peppers which worked perfectly. Wife had a dry noodle dish with shrimp and was very happy with its flavor as well. Spring rolls were excellent as well. Definitely a place to return to!

Fabulous service from quick seating to a server showing up just when we made up our minds. Hubby chose the beef round eye size large made spicy while I just asked for shrimps with noodles made medium spicy. We shared spring rolls which were stuffed full. Each entree had a different flavor which was so comforting. The ambiance was clean as well. Great place and a family run business too so come visit!

Felt more like a Chinese restaurant. Food was decent. Got the lemongrass pork rice. It arrived looking pretty bland. Had a mixed salad on the side which is pretty new to me especially in Vietnamese restaurant settings.

Small shop slight outside of the main part of town.Seems like like a Chinese restaurant than a Vietnamese restaurant. Workers were speaking Chinese. Took awhile to get our food even though we were the only customers. The food was just ok but not memorable where I would go back

My guess is that this Vietnamese restaurant is not as well known as the other establishments around the area. It should be though! It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall on Virginia Beach Blvd. It is truly a hidden gem in my opinion. The interior is not very big and it only holds a few tables but it still has a welcoming feel.We came right at dinner time and was seated right away. It was nearly empty at first but it began filling up with customers. We ordered the classic pho bowls with Vietnamese pancakes and spring rolls. There was a slight wait as there was a large group getting their food before us but it was no problem at all. The pancakes came out hot and crispy with a savory sauce. The spring rolls were a hit as well. The pho broth was delicious and the large bowl is indeed large! Their prices were lower than other restaurants but does not skimp on flavor and portion. I would definitely come back to try their signature dishes along with other soup options. Solid experience!!

Small, family run business, this has been our go-to Vietnamese restaurant for years. We had family in town and they were in the mood for Vietnamese after a long day at the beach.My niece, who is pescatarian, raved about the seafood pho, and declared it the best she had had in years. Similarly my sister and brother also loved their pho. I had a noodle salad. The greens were very fresh. We had ordered the garden rolls without the pork, and they were very accommodating.As always the service was friendly. On busy nights service can be slow, but it is a family business and that should be taken into account.

The banh Xeo (crispy crepe like pancake with pork and shrimp and bean sprouts) today is so much better than last time I was here, light and crispy and cooked just right (not brownish). Came with lots of fresh lettuce and mint. My friends were with me, they ordered banh Xeo , com tam bi suong Cha (rice with grilled pork, egg sort like frittata with vermicelli and ground pork - it wasn't pork chop just pork Loin) and bun thit heo nuong (vermicelli with grilled pork). Service was fast. Refills of water even when we didn't ask.

Nice decore and atmosphere! The waitress very attentive! The pancake was good, but the BBQ pork over vermicel wasnt that great. The pork didn't really have that much taste to it!

I don't know when this restraunt opened but atleast 30 years. We have had countless wonderful meals here. My dad liked this place so we would go all the time. When my dad passed away about 15 years ago we just stopped going. During the Pandemic we thought they may need the business so we tried them twice. The were not open due to scheduling problems. THey are a small business . Use to be owned by a mom and pop. The vietnamese mom cooked all the food and the family worked the rest. We have finally been back to where they were open. It seemed the same but a little different. I did not feel comfortable asked if the mom and pop where still around. Maybe after a while of being back I will ask. Anyways. The sesame pancakes are my favorite. Start with that. Then what we did in the very beginning just to learn Vietnamese food was we just worked our way through the menu. It is big portions and we end up sharing. And taking a bunch home. But the one thing we finish off are the sesame pancake. YUMMMM I'm telling you they are my favorite.Service is always good and if you need help with deciding what to get they are super helpful.
