Pho J

I had the Short Rib and Steak Pho and the spring rolls. I could have done without the spring rolls and they were pretty underwhelming. The pho has a rich flavor, the noodles seemed a little chopped up so they were easier to enjoy in your spoon, the short ribs were a little messy but good. I loved the broth, might skip the short ribs next time just for ease of eating. Not sure if they were short staffed, but my table was pretty dirty and dishes stacked up on tables.

I love the concept of the stone pot pho, and the broth here is very savory. It’s definitely was worth the drive out to Auburn. So, I ate it differently than most, because the noodles came separately from the broth, I make my own dry style noodle with the chili oil and hoisin. I love a dish that you can really get creative with, it’s hot pot and pho at the same time. Also, the spring roll nem noung is really good, and the shrimp baguette, it came a little late but it was worth it.

Food maybe okay... But they are clearly overwhelmed. Didn't receive my noodle for hot stone bowl... the old lady came in for help but instead helping she nagged her waitress in front of everyone for the enitre time we were havung the meal. …

There's a small aquarium in the entrance with a few fish! The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was a typical pho restaurant. We got spring rolls, banh mi and beef ribs pho. Spring roll: Wished the shrimp in the spring roll was a bit thicker and less dry but it was fresh and good app to start with. Banh mi: the pork was tender and well seasoned. The bread was super fresh and smelled/tasted good. Wished there were a bit more veggies. I dipped the banh mi in the pho soup and it was *chefs kiss*! Pho: the ribs were a esthetically pleasing with two big bones in the soup but the meat was dry, hard to chew, and hard to take the meat off from the bones. It wasn't "fall off the bones" meat. The soup flavor was great! It had all the spices.

We came here after seeing the reviews on TikTok, and it was definitely worth it! The food was very delicious, especially the stone bowl pho — such a great and complete dining experience. The prices were reasonable too. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The manager was very warm and helpful, and the young female staff member was sweet, attentive, and thoughtful. We will definitely come back again very soon!
