    One of best pho around. Very highly recommended. Appears to be family owned which I support! Also love branding on plates and chop sticks! Loved it!

    Food was great and the price is reasonable. Glad we tried this new restaurant (new owner) today!

    I will start off by saying the food, portions, and value were excellent for the price I had paid. I did take out for egg rolls, udon, yakisoba, and fried rice. The food was 5 star takeout. I was really surprised how good it was. The only bad part of the experience was that my takeout order was quoted to take 10-20 mins but ended up taking an hr. They need to work on getting food out faster. I’m still giving this restaurant 5 stars as they’re in a soft opening phase so I’m sure they’ll iron out their issues. I’m hoping they succeed the employees seemed like nice people! I will be back to try the pho.

    I recently dined at Pho Lover, a Vietnamese pho restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about it. The service was impeccable, with the staff being incredibly attentive and friendly. But what truly stole the show was the food. The pho was absolutely delicious, with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. If you're a pho lover, this place is a must-visit. I give it 5 stars without hesitation!

    This was our go-to spot because it's very accessible and the food is delicious, although it has changed owners (I wish the old owners success in their next endeavors, whatever those may be). We ended up checking out the new ownership during their soft opening.

    The ambience inside is extremely cute! It's been redecorated to look like a cherry blossom grove, with a couple faux trees coming right up out of the floor, and vines decorating the lamps. Absolutely bonus points for atmosphere; my only caveat would be that the decor could potentially feel claustrophobic if you were sat directly next to one of the trees as they were pretty close to the tables. But, there is plenty of seating and that is a very minor critique.

    As for the menu, it is significantly smaller than it was, with the biggest complaint about the entire experience being the now lacking vegetarian options; one of the reasons we loved it so much before was that there were quite a few different options that sadly aren't present anymore. That said, the food was still delicious. I ordered the lemon pork noodle salad which came with a delightfully crispy egg roll. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the whole dish smelled delicious! I absolutely intend to come back to try the pho dishes; we were heading to a movie after so I didn't think I'd have time to enjoy soup.

    As an added bonus, because it was the soft opening, the team offered a complimentary appetizer of shrimp spring rolls. I'm not much of a seafood person, but the gesture was appreciated regardless and if you are more of a shrimp fiend, you would definitely like this dish.

    Overall, I'm sad to say goodbye to an old favorite but very excited about discovering a potential new one! I'm not sure where all of these 1 star reviews are coming from, but I do believe a good chunk were made in bad faith. Ultimately, I recommend checking them out and deciding for yourself if you want to come back. I know we will.
