All I can say about this place is stay away. I don't usually leave negative reviews but I felt I needed to do that for this place. First off, my friend and I got here to grab a quick lunch while waiting to go to the Patient First a couple of doors down. It was a cold day so a warm bowl of pho was in order. We should've seen the signs when we saw only two other tables with customers at noon on a Sunday. There was only one person doing the service and it took her a long time to come to our table. Then another guy came in to do a takeout order. She gave him the menu and then several minutes go by and she still has not gotten our order. Then it irritated us when she then took the other guy's ord...

Here's a rewritten version of the restaurant review: **Restaurant Review:** The food had great flavors and felt like a delicious home-cooked meal—not too oily or salty. The portion sizes were just right, and we finished everything without any leftovers. The service was friendly and attentive. We visited with a group of eight, which included four kids, and the staff were accommodating and engaged with all of us, making sure the little ones under six had extra plates and cups as needed. Overall, the food we enjoyed was flavorful, the portions were appropriate, and we were so pleased that we returned for another visit. We highly recommend it!
I ordered delivery from Pho 88 (pho Eighty-eight) and was very disappointed. They didn’t include any basil, bean sprouts, lime, or other typical pho accompaniments. The pho itself was mostly noodles with just a small amount of chicken—so little that I finished it in two bites. They shredded the chicken to hide how stingy the portion was, but it’s clear from the photo that you're not getting your money’s worth. The menu is overpriced and feels like a ripoff. Additionally, the spring rolls were only half the size of usual rolls, and the peanut gel for dipping was unappetizing, not a proper sauce.
The vegetarian spring rolls did not taste like authentic Vietnamese spring rolls. They put too much noodles in the spring rolls. I wish they had more vegetables and other filling in the spring rolls than just noodles. The peanut dipping sauce was slightlythick for me. The tofu noodle bowl was little portions for the price. I do not believe the owners are Vietnamese so I'm not sureif that may be the reason the food did not taste authentic. The owners may be Chinese. Book a table now
Go here for a good, home-cooked meal vibe. The pho broth is delicate and perfectly clear. The veggie summer rolls are simple and delicious. Their lemongrass chicken and rice was good. The vermicelli dishes don?t come with all the bells and whistles(toppings) like in fancier restaurants yet here everything is cooked with soul and love. This is our new favorite go to forlunch, the portions are just right and the price is reasonable.
The place was clean and the person serving was so very nice. It's a great spot with parking in the back though it can be tight. I just was so disappointed at the Pho Ga (chicken). It was just so OKAY. I'm not sure what else to say!! The chicken was sparse, the broth so average or below and the additions (sprouts, lime etc) so again ... geez . I would not return here unless I hear or see improvements- cost was $11 for large.
Order ToGo/Delivery from here many times and always get the beef pho with everything in it and spring rolls great reliable pho with good broth and excellent ToGo/deolver packaging. Always smart to reheat the broth before pouring into noodles and beef bowl. Would appreciate larger meat portions but for the price still very good value. Will continue to be a patron.
Been here a few times as an alternative to pho75. Cleaner yes but service is just as bad with a pricer menu. Sat for 45 minutes and waited for my food but it never arrived, found out it went to another table. I asked the front staff and they blew me off. Bravo on winning the worst pho experience I had.

I ordered plain pho at Pho 88, but only received the broth. I was very disappointed, and the person I spoke with was unwilling to help or provide a solution. Additionally, the online menu was very confusing and unclear.
This restaurant does not serve authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I would not recommend dining here, as it felt like a waste of both time and money.
