I usually don’t like gỏi cuốn, but the one at this restaurant was excellent w balanced ratio of meat vs. bún and rau. Sườn in cơm sườn nướng was well marinated without being salty! Phở was flavorful without being too rich. Sinh tố bơ was tasty and creamy without being too icy or too sweet. Much better than most Việt restaurants in NYC. Will def be back when I’m in Albany next time.

Order takeout for a beer pho and the broth is simply phenomenal!! The broth is so flavourful and rich. Takeout was package neatly and nicely. A lot of veg came with the pho made my stomach so happy. This pho/ broth is the absolute best and authentic I had in a very long while. Not cheap but highly recommended!

Pho was really good I bought 3 beef phos and a seafood one and they did not disappoint as I have searching for a good spot they definitely did not let me down 1 hour drive for some pho was definitely worth it 5/5 if you ask me and thats hands down

Freshly prepared Vietnamese food with bright tangy flavors. Special roast half chicken and fried spring rolls over rice and noodles. Big portions. Nice nice people. Love it.

Food was great, so was the service. The atmosphere was not outstanding but it is good for family and friends to get together. We ordered beef pho and grilled pork slices over rice. The food was overall good and served quickly. I enjoyed a cool Vietnamese beer too.

This spot is our Vietnamese cuisine gem! Sadly, they’ve been closed for some time. The food is always delicious and consistent. They seat you as soon as you walk in. We even been accommodated for large parties (8+) persons. The place does need a cleaning as I’ve seen flies flying around, and it has a dingy appearance. The host and our waiter is so friendly and funny! He runs the floor by himself at times and we can see his stress but he handles it well.

Capital regions most delicious pho. They also offer delicious smoothies! The restaurant is family run and they are absolutely the sweetest! You can taste the love in every slurp. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Especially those who want to experience Vietnamese cuisine for the first time!

Their beef pho is excellent. Their broth very tasty. I love how they presented the bowl of noodle soup with so much greens. Will be back if we are near Albany again. Great service. Friendly staff.
