My personal experience is fine. There’s a note said the restaurant has got a new owner. I didn’t check the review before. As I walked in a man came up and let us sat anywhere we wanted. We ordered pho and orange chicken and got everything in 10 mins. Pho is a little bit sweet but the flavor is not bad. There was lot of beef in it. Orange chicken is pretty good. The coating is thin and not very sweet. There was not much talk or service but I think I’ve got everything I want and I don’t like unnecessarily chat. I went to the cashier by myself and checked out. Nice owner.

First, I have to say I was so excited to try this place because finally we have a hot pot restaurant to come. So today is the day that I finally can come and try.

I ordered through DoorDash. The food came in a reasonable amount of time. It tasted good, but it wasn’t what I ordered from the menu. There was no tripe in the fire and the flavors were just not. There may be different in person. I will update the review at that point in time they only get two stars I was very disappointed with my meal especially considering the $20 price tag for one bowl of soup.

All we wanted was some drinking water, regular water. But they charged us for water, they informed us that they had NO free water, tap or bottled or any kind. I’ve never seen a place charge a place for water before. All the prices are SUPER Expensive and if you look closely they actually marked DOWN the prices because they aren’t getting any customers… This business should not survive the way it operates. Do NOT Come here. High prices, mediocre food and horrible service. Should’ve used the decor money on buying some water huh? Could give this place 0 stars if I could. As for the food, 12.50 for some mediocre food with 2 shrimps…

My normal pho spot was closed so I decided to give the new ownership of pho hoang a shot and just had the best grilled pork banh mi of my entire life. The couple operating the store were very sweet and gave me a complimentary glass of water while I waited for my food (I ordered carry-out). Love that they’re open a little later than the other shops, there aren’t a lot of healthy eating options past 7 pm in the metro. Will definitely be going back!

We really wanted to go to Pho 888 which is our go-to when it comes to Vietnamese food but they are closed tonight (Sunday). We did not realize they are closed on Sundays. Anyway, this new restaurant which is like 2 mins. away from Pho 888 accommodated us 30 mins. before closing, and I thought that was very nice of them. I ordered rare beef pho which was okay. My 4 y/o daughter loved it, so that’s a plus. I also ordered egg drop soup for my daughter which she, my fiancé and myself did not like at all. It was gross. My fiancé ordered grilled pork chop with rice (p6) on the menu. We both loved that one!!! Maybe when we come back we will order that again! It was surprisingly delicious. What I did not like however was the owner sitting right across our table. Maybe waiting for clean up, but that was just so awkward lol. Good thing we weren’t the only ones there. There was another party on a different table eating seafood, so we actually finished before them right at 8:10pm.

Placed an order on Door Dash and I didn’t receive one of my meals. I called and told them I didn’t receive one of my meals. They guy told me I could go pick it up pointless cause that’s why I used Door Dash. I told him I had the Lab beef & he just said oh we are out. Didn’t even notify myself or Door Dash they didn’t have it. If you don’t have an item notify the customer so they can either cancel the order or give you an option for something else. This would have been the second time giving them a try & definitely the last. Dine in experience sucked, delivery service sucked!

We tried tonight and arrived around 5:50pm and they kept the door locked so you couldn’t just walk in, never brought us menus or came and took our order. We only got a glass of water provided and then ignored. Another table who came after us went up and had to ask for menus and kindly gave us one. We left after waiting for some sort of acknowledgement after 15 minutes. And it wasn’t even busy as the place was less than half full. When we were tired of waiting, we had to get some one to unlock the door to let us out. The hot pot that others had looked good and that’s what we were hoping to order. I hope they get their groove so that they can focus on the customer. I just don’t know if we’ll give it another go though.
