"So lets talk about the elephant in the room first, these folks ain't Vietnamese. The only reason you should care is that ya grouchy Viet relatives will be annoying if you take them here. But if you bring any reasonable person here, I assure you, it's a great time. I'd say that this makes a great date place. Great atmosphere, great food, great service, fun things to order. I had their beef pho with sate. If you had lao gan ma, it's kinda like that. Or like one jalapeno basically. Unlike most other Viet restaurants, their pho has fairly strong flavors, even before the addition of hoison sauce and Sriracha. They give you a lot of broth actually, which is really nice. You could make two bowls out of it, if you felt like thinly slicing your own meat and prepping your own noodles. Only sad thing is that you run out of noodles and meat well before you run out of soup and the amount you have of both is a smaller portion than I'm used to for pho at restaurants."
