Phet's Kitchen Pho & BBQ

Charming, friendly owner. Pains me to write a 3 star review but…

Came in, so many good options that I didn’t know what I wanted. Owner walked me through the three that I was thinking about and decided on steamed catfish wrapped in leaves. It was supposed to come with glass noodles, but he asked if I wanted rice. I thought that was a bit odd and asked about the glass noodles… To which he said they were mixed in with the fish. Ok, whatever you recommend. I assumed rice would accompany an entrée. It almost always does.

Entrée came; at first glance it looked pretty basic. A plate of plain rice, and wrapped leaves with fish inside, nothing else besides herbs. No vegetables no garnish which is odd for Vietnamese - usually there are some fresh components on the plate (herb, sprouts, or veg). The fish WAS excellent but definitely needed just a touch of moisture/flavoring... I requested Nam Prik Pao - at first I was told no, then I could make my own, then the kitchen made me one. Took the fish to another level it needed. I was happy.

When it came time to pay I did a double take on my bill. My entrée was $12.99, but my bill was $21. Turns out, they charge five dollars for a small side of rice. Five dollars for rice. I felt slightly deceived; and I should’ve known better I should take responsibility for everything I order. I guess I would just expect transparency in a situation where normally rice is included, if it’s not you are aware and it’s never $5. Especially when there were other specials on the menu that included rice.

I come here with my dad to get a nice big bowl of pho, a spicy papaya salad and some delicious quality jasmine tea, the customer service is great and the food is absolutely delicious! This is the best pho hands down! 🍜 They also have a lot of great sandwiches and boba teas ect! But my favorite is the pho, this soup is a cure all and gives me life! The bone broth is full of vitamins and collagen which gives me all the more reason to come eat here. Very healthy food. Thank you for being in this little town, you are a gem 💎 and truly appreciated!

I was very impressed with what we order “pho over all good” the flavor is perfect.. highly recommendable to eat in a small town off weed..
