D2 Chicken Fried Rice $15.95 - pricey for a fried rice dish (even with meat) - but delicious, fresh ingredients, flavorful

I visited Gao for lunch today - it's located in the Pan Am Shopping Center retail complex. The space it occupies formerly was occupied by Pho Thang Long. Not sure when it closed and transitioned to "Gao."I was promptly seated and ordered the Number 6: Pho Ga, Large, with white meat.Overall, the menu selection is rather small.The Pho came out in just a few minutes, steaming away. It smelled awesome! The plate of aromatics was fresh and in fine fettle! I sampled the broth first - it was rich and delicious! I added all of the aromatics and then dug in!The chicken was very tender, the bowl could have used just a bit more chicken - it felt like they skimped a bit on the chicken quantity. But overall, very tasty bowl of Pho Ga!Service was good, paid with Apple Pay!#Gao

Food is consistently delicious. Service is great. Ambiance is casual. Nice selection on the menu. Somethings you do not at other restaurants.

Lovely food and seemingly lovely staff, but they forgot numerous things in my Uber Eats order and refused to refund it. As far as I'm concerned, that makes them an absolute no-go. If I can't trust them to give me what I paid for, and if they're not even going to apologize for the mistake and instead hide behind the Uber Eats app, I'm not going to patronize their establishment any longer.

Service and food was very good! The other night my husband and I went to eat dinner. I vermicelli with pork, and my husband had pho. The pho broth was good, and better than some of the other pho places in the area. Food came out very fast, and I enjoyed my dinner. Prices were about average for the area.

My family is a true believer that any day is a pho day so we order takeout from Gao a lot.Our go to is pho and egg rolls but we have also dabbled in their banh mi and vermicelli dishes as well. It's a tasty meal and is on par with many other pho restaurants in the area + they take credit card/Apple Pay which is amazing.To take this spot from local neighborhood takeout joint to a destination dining, I would recommend the restaurant work on getting better quality cuts of meat in their grilled meat + pho dishes (cuts are very gristly or as my daughter says "gloopy") and use a true baguette in their Banh Mi -- currently they use something equivalent to a Safeway sandwich roll and it doesn't hit quite as hard.That being said, we are thankful to have them in the neighborhood! The servers are super friendly and I can often order takeout with a maximum fifteen minute wait time.

This is my traditional lunch stop when visiting Micro Center. Been going here for years and knew the prior owners who retired.The pho broth is light but has depth of flavor. The soup is piping hot, meat tender and noodles cooked just right.Summer rolls were fresh with soft wrapper and crispy interior.I'll be back!

It's our fav to-go to pho/viet place since it's so convenient and close by. I tried the vermicelli noodles for the first time, and I loved the sauce. I just wish there were more veggies and less beansprouts.

I wanted to give a 3 but thought there are enough things to like about the restaurant.We ordered chicken wings and hanoi-style grilled pork. The chicken wings were great: crispy skin and juicy meat. I just wish they were a bit more salty. The Hanoi-style grilled pork with vermicelli was alright. Things that I liked: the dipping sauce, flavors of the meat. Things that I didn't like: the grilled meat was too tough and dry, not enough pickled veggie. Also I would like them to serve the meat and sauce in a bigger bowl, so that it's easier to dip the noodle and veggie in the bowl. Quick services, clean restaurant. They take credit cards. I will come back and try other dishes.

I was super hungry and craving a bahnmi. I happened to be in a shopping plaza for other things and stumbled upon this place. I ordered a side order of just the broth and a bahnmi. The bahnmi was MUCH smaller than expected and the broth wasn't particularly as good as I had wanted. It was too greasy and the scent of the star anise was a bit overpowering. The one thing I appreciated was the service. The guy at the front was very friendly and took my order with such a nice smile!

Pho Thang Long was bad...this is disappointingly even worse. Thanks to new management for cleaning up the place but the food is not good. We ordered numerous apps to share - all bad. Spring rolls and shrimp rolls were over-fried. Shrimp rolls also looked/tasted like they were from frozen. Summer rolls were dry..like they were rolled days ago - the rice paper had hardened. The pho is even more bland than before and now there's also less noodle quantity. The bun bo hue tastes nothing like BBH.
