This place is usually packed on week days and although the decor makes you think of some kindergarten class run amuck, it's a pretty good bowl of pho.
Personally, I love the stuff and can eat it all the time. It's especially good during the winter…More »
Service seems to have improved of late. I had numerous experiences with being ignored before, but not any more. (Even the ginormous fish in the aquarium greets me when I walk in now!)
I love pho so I never get past just eating that, but I've taken…More »

Even though you are a chain, I used to come all the time to get a bowl of goodness. I'd come on the weekends for lunch or sometimes after an event or something at night. It happened regularly.
Then you changed your hours and kept changing them.…More »

I don't understand why this place has been hammered in the ratings. While not outstanding, it's certainly not sub-standard.
It's quick, inexpensive and although the broth can be a bit inconsistent, it's not a poor experience.
So, you don't get a…More »

I've been here again and it must have been right after they opened. Freezing! Brrrr. Like you must wear your jacket while eating and to raise your internal bodily temperature, you MUST pour half a bottle of rooster into your pho.
That is all.…More »

This visit was for lunch and instead of Georgia, I had pho on my mind.
First knock was they sat three of us at a table for two and I had to sit on the end of the table, when the place was pretty much empty. I managed not to knock anything off the…More »

It was a quick gathering for someone's birthday and she was out in the area. Incredibly, I'd not been here before.
Once inside, it was much larger than I thought it would be. It opens up in the back into a larger room and there are tables that…More »

I'm downgrading this place because the inside is really getting grimey. There are holes in the walls and the floors and tables are sticky. Not a good sign.
Oh, and cash only! I always forget that!
Another hole in the wall place. It looks eww from the outside. Actually, a little ewww on the… Read more »
i've walked past this place numerous times, heading to bai tong. this is the first time i've actually ventured in.
not the friendliest staff in the world, but it's clean, there is a big parking lot and the broth was tasty. the portions are a bit…More »
Big. Quick. Plenty of parking.
And the staff remembers me....even if I haven't been there in over a year.
Snuck in a quick bowl for lunch and brought another beginner.

Okay, it's three years later and I take it all back.
Hot piping pho before a Hawks game? Yep. We were seated quickly and we opened up with a couple of spring rolls. I love that they brought a container of sambal to heat things up.
Pho came…More »

I still like this place and it's obviously pretty good, since it's always packed and there is a line out the door.
But this last visit cost them a star....service. I understand that it may take awhile to get a table and I thought the staff did a…More »

Pho was solid. Good broth and fresh fixin's. Spring rolls were tasty and there's a pretty good variety of things on the menu. Lots of condiments to choose from.

This one is closer to where I live, but I think I like the one on Aurora better. I know there are several of them, but the broth seems to taste better at that one. Maybe it's my imagination but I don't taste the any star anise in the broth. I love…More »
Clean, efficient and decent. There were quite a few people in here, which is always a good sign.
Spring rolls were really fresh and tasty. My pho was okay, not great, and a good portion for a large. But I will admit that the food was to the…More »

Cheap! This place is ultra inexpensive. We came here and I had a bowl of pho for 5 and a half bucks. It was pretty large and it's a bargain. Tasty....it was okay, the broth wasn't tremendously flavorful.

I almost drove past it and pulled in the parking lot next door to turn around. It's small inside. Service was quick. The owner seemed to know quite a few customers and came out to chat.
The large pho was pretty large, with lot of animal in it.…More »
One of my friends took me here for lunch and since she is the one that originally introduced me to pho (and the correct pronounciation), I figured I was ready to roll.
I was thinking it was a little dumpy inside but recognized there's a lotta good…More »
The broth was better this time and the bowl was packed with goodies. It tasted much better and fresher. Both sambal and rooster is available at the table.
Plus, they gave free refills for the sodas.
We did have to ask for chopsticks though. I…More »

This used to be one of my favorite pho places when I worked south, but then it started getting really run down. The pho was pretty tasty and it was quick to get to.
But, maybe they had an ownership change or something, but it got to be where the…More »
This is supposed to be the father of the pho places. But, I wasn't impressed. It's filthy inside. Grody! Eww.
The pho is just okay. I didn't think the broth was outstanding and the meat is more fatty than other places. Sometimes that is a good…More »
Before I even made it into the place, one of the staff gave me the stink eye. Not to be intimidated (or perhaps thinking it was part of an initiation), I gave her the stink eye right back. And that's how it started.

We came here after the Husky football game. We were thinking sushi, but were both frozen so something hot sounded better.

I was a little leery of eating at a place with Panda in the title. I was kinda afraid that there might be some person in a stuffed animal costume wandering around between the tables.
We had the standard spring rolls and pho. Not the tastiest pho…More »
Ugh. It was not very good and kind of expensive for what we got.
I came here for a bite to eat before a Husky game. I didn't have high expectations to begin with, but the noodles we had were kind of ordinary and not all that tasty.
