The moment you walk in, you can tell it’s a local favorite — cozy, simple, always busy, and filled with the comforting aroma of fresh broth and herbs.

First time eating there and it was amazing! The lady in the front even offered some basil, super sweet❤️ the price is unbeatable too! The spicy shrimp pho was amazing, that broth is delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh. I took it home separately to cook, the shrimp was really good tasted fresh and the noodles as well. This place is a gem 💎

The Food: Phở. It's delicious! The broth is really clean. I usually get the rare beef wit
