VIEN DONG RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I went here with my mother in law and we had bon mi sandwiches, I got a pork and she got tofu and they were incredible! We also had spring rolls and they were super yummy also! The peanut and garlic sauce was out of this world and I ate my sandwich with the vinegar sauce they put out (I actually have no idea what it’s called but it’s a great sauce) the people in the restaurant were all having different things and everything smelled and looked amazing! overall I’d give this place 100/10 stars will definitely be going back and suggesting to all my friends.

Very fast service once seated, popular place during lunch, reasonable prices for serving size of pho, highly recommended. Definitely a repeat, servers were very polite and attentive. Had 7a medium, very delicious reminded me of Vietnam.

The service was good, the people here are really sweet. The food is fresh and flavorful. Good prices for the portions. The Vietnamese coffee on point. Definitely be coming back to try more food.

PHO KING REVIEWS

A quiet environment with amazing food. The egg rolls were cooked amazingly and tasted perfect. They may quite possibly be the best I've ever had for the type of egg roll. The Vietnamese Bahn Mi was delicious. It had been stuffed full of all the veggies and meat with a yummy sauce. The pho itself has a delicious broth and the small was a very filling bowl. The food was quick and prompt and the service was excellent. Came to fill our drinks and took out order in a prompt fashion. I'd come back.

The lemon grass chicken is just fantastic with a truly unique flavor. Their pho is solid and reasonably priced with large portions. Service is fine but table touches after the meal delivery is seldom if ever, aside from dropping the check.

Incredible quality broth and good ingredients. Good atmosphere; it's exactly what you expect from a little pho place that you know is gonna be amazing. My wife and I are quite critical of the quality of the base and we were very happy with this place.

PHO TAI REVIEWS

This is a great restaurant BUT if your ordering online someone doesn't read the notes or preferences because i ordered the curry online & you have 3 option of either rice, bread or noodles & i specifically put noodles & i got rice. This made me very upset. I should've asked if they put noodles instead of rice but it was late and I was extremely exhausted.

Yummy late night pho, avocado smoothie, and Thai tea. The chicken teriyaki and beef fried rice were okay, the chicken was a bit dry and the fried rice has corn in it for some reason but both things were still edible. I'm keeping my rating at 5 stars since the things I did like were absolutely perfect and them being open until 4am was a life saver. Thank you.

Have been coming here for years. Food choices are great and the service is excellent.
