When I worked in the area, I used to frequent this place quite a bit, but now that I live further away, I haven't been in at least two years. Safe to say, this is still my favorite pho in Utah. It's family-owned, authentic, offers great portions and prices, and the owners are so friendly and welcoming. I got the small steak pho, and taking a sip of the broth brought me right back; it felt so comforting during the cooler weather we've been having. My bowl cost $14 after tax, and I do want to let people know you either have to Venmo or pay cash here. It's so worth it to come support local, and I hope to be back much sooner than last time.

In SLC for a day trip and was craving pho, I wasn’t expecting a house but this spot hit everything I was looking for! Clear, flavorful broth with decent portion of meat especially for the price. There’s 2 nice ladies holding down the kitchen The iced coffee is the strongest and smoothest I’ve ever had, without milk and sugar. Highly recommend swinging by if you’re in the area - reminder they only take cash and Venmo!

I do understand this is a family run business, but there are things I wish that could have been better about this place the time I came (Nov. 1, 2026). After reading the Q&A I am giving grace for the wait time of the food to come out. One thing I do have to say is for the wait time the pho broth was basically water with a hint of chicken juice flavor. I tried adding lime, chili oil, and other toppings to it and it was just not flavorful. Also, on my receipt/order pad I wrote "extra onions" and "extra limes". I did not receive extra onions in my pho, and the limes came out half way through eating my pho. Knowing the long wait time for the food and seeing how busy it was getting, I did not bother asking for the onions to save the hassle. Next, after checking out I was somehow overcharged for my order. On me for not realizing this after I paid, but my order was: 1 Large Chicken Pho $13.50 (+0.50 for chicken) 1 Small Chicken Pho $11.00 (+0.50 for chicken) 1 Spring Roll 6.75 Sales tax if added 9.45% $3.05 ----------------------------------------------------- GRAND TOTAL: $35.30 I was charged $41.66. This was with no tip and after some brain math was done on my receipt. Again, I guess on me for not realizing this, but after reading a comment on someone's google review that they said to someone "sorry you can't read", I guess I need to show I can do some math before I get called out for that. Not the best experience, I understand they are short staffed and it is a small business that is doing the best they can, but the whole wrong payment just felt like I needed to say something.

Tasty, healthy, authentic food! I have lived in Southern California my entire life and this is equal to or even better than the Pho there.

First time trying Vietnamese food and this place was phenomenal! Family owned and run, small, simple, intimate, and extremely tasty food. Our appetizer and meals came out quickly and it was hot and delicious. The pho was flavorful, earthy, and rich - great first impression of this country’s famous dish! Turns out this place is super understaffed and the owner (the grandma) is getting older and sometimes has health issues, causing her to close early and have unpredictable hours. We came in around 6:20 one night and watch them turn off the open sign around 7:15, because that’s when they ran out of pho for the day - love it! The grandma even came out from the kitchen and filled our waters and greeted us - even walked us to the front register to pay. Will be coming back here!
