★★★★★2 months agoThe Pho was delicious, and the complimentary shrimp crackers were perfectly crispy. They were very generous with the meat portion. The owner was incredibly kind—he even provided a plate for the cake I brought with me and gave me a lollipop as I was leaving. A wonderful dining experience, highly recommended!
