"My wife and I have dined here around ten times, mostly for lunch, and once for dinner. Not once have we encountered any staff with a bad attitude or rudeness, which includes those working behind the counter. I've seen reviews that say the food isn’t “real” Vietnamese, but my wife and I can confidently say the food is genuinely good. We particularly enjoy the chicken pho; it’s healthy and full of flavor. For those looking for something heartier, the pork chop is both tasty and tender. I've tried pho at various Vietnamese restaurants, and I believe pho is pho, whether you find it in Beverly Hills, Los Feliz, or homemade. Rice noodles are the same everywhere, as are the other simple ingredients. The restaurant is impeccably clean, including the restrooms, and the waitstaff greets us with smiles and politeness. Plus, there’s free parking in the back. If you’re not a fan of the faux bamboo decor, you can always head to Griffith Park, where there are plenty of real trees to enjoy; this place is all about serving excellent Vietnamese food at great prices in a tidy environment. As for any criticism over employees' tattoos, I find that viewpoint to be discriminatory, distracting from what really matters—the food. If you’re overly critical about the staff, decor, and food, perhaps stay home and cook for yourself, or travel to Vietnam for an authentic experience. Ignore the naysayers; the food here is genuinely good!"
