"I was looking for another Pho place, but this one came up. Reviews were good and I decided to go there. I'm a hard fan of Pho. Street and Metered Parking 2 hours border. Only outdoor seating with sufficient heating. Your decision was to do the business. It was 5:40 pm e s t. No nonsense, but respectful lady took my order. I ordered Beef Pho. She offered tea, unlike many places, here tea came in a large cup, beautifully fragrant but warm. I asked about hot cup, it was presented immediately. It is South Vietnam cuisine, as is the name. Pho came, steaming hot, beautiful and fragrant, and the best soup spoon I've ever given. See picture. Fantastic. Since it was so hot, beef had become little hard and chew, I had much better beef and the cut was made by scissors, so the clean strips looked cut like fake meetings, looked out, not really fake. I found the crowd a little less, both noodles and meat. Nevertheless, very beautiful spicy, great broth. Will give my best review on broth. It's really good. The price is on the higher side. Well, it's COVID. I will return with my friend and partner in crime for our best Pho locations search and the second experience with our combined feedback. ANOTHER VISIT ON FEB 25 2022 Cam with my friend and it was again a pleasant experience and rated that her Pho is definitely one of the best we have experienced so far. It is not as salty as many other places tend to be. The interior seats are open and modernized. Place was packed and the cartridges waited in the queen. It was at 6:30. Her take-out counters were also very busy. Had Fresh Summer roll with shrimp, Grilled Meat Pao with pork and my favorite beef Pho. Your tea has a floral smell and taste, must have. Needless to say, all three selections were great, love of Pho and Pao was clearly pork taste. The peanut sauce was perfect for summer roll. Inconsistently, they want to circle the mosquitoes faster, felt little rushed, but it was polite and everything was good. Our meal for two was about $48 and change, somewhat north of our usual places, and justified with the quality of food and service and ambience. Strongly recommend this place, I would regularly come for a long time."

"Finally got a chance to stop here and so glad I did. I ordered the venda sandwich and it was delicious probably the best chicken cutlet sandwich I've ever had. They also have a salad station and some tasty goodies I also ordered the cookie dough stuffed Oreos. Pricing was reasonable for what was ordered and I can't wait to go back again. Staff was great also."

"I most like their unique take on mapo tofu, along with a nice variety of Asian dishes in a small but decorated dining area.Lately I’ve found my body is very particular about ramen and so I often don’t order it unless there is something I specifically want to try. In this case my wife wanted to try their spicy ramen which was perfect for me because I could sample it while still ordering something else.What caught my eye while searching google was one dish in their Stone Bowl section: they have a mapo tofu dish!! For anyone unfamiliar, mapo tofu is a Chinese dish usually found in Sichuan style restaurants, so I did not expect it here, in a stone bowl either. I had to try it.My verdict: I would have it again IF I was looking for their unique take. The stone bowl means that the dish sizzles enticingly for a while even after the meal comes out. It also gives the rice a singed and crispy taste, without getting stuck in my teeth which is something I’ve often experienced in some Korean restaurants. The tofu and sauce are tasty but more reminiscent of jajiang noodle sauce or some other Korean hot paste, than of the bean paste flavor I tend to expect from other mapo tofu dishes.We also tried one appetizer, their curry croquette dish. This was crispy as expected but the taste of the croquette itself, and the curry, weren’t as expected. Perhaps just not a flavor match.Last thing friendly service! It’s always appreciated."

"When my duaghter suggested this place for Columbian food my first thought was there are so many Columbian resturants closer to me, but I saw the high rating and number of reviews and tried it. I am so glad we did. It is not overrated, but a true gem that we will come back to. We started with mini empanadas...so good especially with the hot suace. They also gave us a plate of thinly sliced plantains chips with a herbed mayo. Both were excellant. Dinner did not disappiont. We ordered their country sampler platter(Band Paisa)...it was huge. Pork Hawaiian style and the chicken with mushrooms. For sides we had the potatoes(my favorite and Highly recommend), green plantain, beans and a salad. Our group had a (fresa) blackberry s with milk drink that was very tasty and a Salpicon which was full of fruit and gave us a snack for later. We of course packed up half of our meals for another day and saved room for desert....highly recommend you do the same. We shared Flan and a guava pastry. Then bought more for breakfast the next day. It was worth it. The service was spot on even asking for water and some limes, and we never lacked anything we needed."
