The food was sooo delicious and fresh! They have a separate vegetarian/vegan menu on request, and it basically has everything on thebregular menu. Staff were very friendly. We just got carry-out, but there are some tables for dine-in.

FOOD: 8/10 Quality: It was a rainy and cold sunday night, I came here alone and ordered the special combo Pho and it was the best thing ever! It is very delicious, warm and filling. The soup base is very clear and tastes nice! Appearance: The pho looks amazing and l couldn't ask for more! Looking so cute! Portion size: I ordered a large and finished the whole bowl by myself haha! I honestly would appreciate more meats and noodles. That would be more filling and satisfying for the customers! But I also understand that the cost of everything is rising so it might be difficult for them to increase the portion size. Service: 9/10 Friendliness: Very nice service! I love the smile of the waitress and she is really warm and welcoming. Great service! Timeliness: The pho that I ordered came in no time, I honestly don't remember even waiting for 2 minutes and the pho is in front of me! I really appreciate that as I was super hungry LOL! Environment: A clean and nice space with perfect lighting and decors! The lighting is not too bright and set the tone of the bistro, it's kinda giving a feeling of being home. I also loved how they decorated this place with plants and cute stuff! I also love the background music that was playing too! Location: Great location for many UW students as it was just on the ave. Very easy to locate and within walkable distance to many apartments and houses. It might be quite hard to find street parkings but people came and go all the time! Very convenient location since it is 5 minutes away from the lightrail station as well!

Absolutely love the Beef Pho and the Signature Rice Dish Combo Bowl (you can select any two types of chicken). We always go for the Steamed Ginger Chicken and Crispy Panko Chicken and they’re both equally delicious, succulent and really filling! It’s also a bonus that the restaurant only closes at 10pm while many of surrounding restaurants close earlier.

They have a great vegan menu! I thought their vegan chicken salad and grilled vegan pork were really great! The staff was friendly, but service could be hit or miss depending on how many to-go orders they had. Overall, great find and good place to bring vegans and omnis.

I absolutely love this place and the people who work here. Everytime I come in the employees are smiling and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. I even had to stop myself from going there all the time because I was spending so much money on Oxtail Pho and Garlic Chicken with Rice!!

I tried the vegan pork banh mi and the vegetarian combination pho, both were incredible. For 10 the banh mi is great for a quick bite and has amazing flavor. The veggies were all really fresh and delicious. The most flavorful vegetarian pho I've ever had. Amazing, amazing, amazing! Can't wait to come back!

Loved this place! We ordered the spring rolls, which I didn’t really like but the peanut butter sauce was so good I could have just drank that. I feel like the shrimp mixed with the sweet sauce wasn’t keen on my palette. My husband ordered the house special chow mein, which was honestly one of the best dishes I’ve ever tried. I ordered the beef pho and added in jalapenos. It was delicious. Highly recommend this place. We will be back!
