This is a fantastic Vietnamese noodle restaurant; I've eaten here many times. The location is easy to find, not far from the Garden Corner parking lot. Their beef noodle soup is incredibly flavorful, with plenty of beef, tripe, and beef balls—you won't need to order any extra meat to feel satisfied....

Pho was better than most places I’ve been to. Portion size equals to portion amount. Other places give to more noodles when you order a large but the meat amount is the same as a regular size. The rice noodles doesn’t have a starchy smell, meaning they soak and rinse the rice noodles thoroughly.
★★★★★ "We were craving for some pho as a hangover cure and found this place! We were seated quickly when we arrived, and the room was already full!
★★★★★ "The restaurant is clean and spacious. The restaurant server quickly ushered me to my table and politely asked if I would like tea, if not water. The welcome drink is then served in a paper cup.

I loved this place. The staff were very helpful, and the food was amazing. They even guided me towards some other places in Chinatown to try.
