This is my first time and I really like it. The food was delicious and value for the money. My husband got spicy lemongrass chicken and I got Lobster tail with garlic shrimp noodles. They were very tasty and give a lot of food.

I had the pleasure of dining here last night, and it was a truly delightful experience. The service was impeccable, the ambiance warm and inviting, and the food—simply exceptional. I ordered the vegetarian pho and fresh rolls, both of which were absolutely exquisite—among the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant itself is spotless and exudes a refined, upscale charm. I will most certainly be returning.

I've been coming here since it first opened, and it's truly become a hidden gem in Merced. The atmosphere is great, with relaxing music that sets the mood perfectly. The food is delicious, and the Hungry Man plate offers fantastic value. The pho comes in generous portions, which I love. They recently added boba drinks to the menu, and those are pretty good too!

I was passing through coming from the SF Bay Area and felt like some Pho noodles for lunch but honestly wasn't expecting much. I was blown away by how authentic and tasty my combo bowl of noodles was. It was huge with plenty of fillings including a beef rib. Service was attentive and prompt. A nice place to stop by for a meal.

I've been looking for a great Vietnamese restaurant in the Central Valley, and I found it with my family. The edamame is the best I've tasted. Seasoned very well with a char on it. The Spicy Lemon Grass Chicken Vermicelli was off the chain!!!! The Grilled Pork Combo Vermicelli was great, eaten by my wife. The Beefie Pho was amazing, eaten by my daughter. The Pork Bao and spring rolls were also great.

LA, Sacramento, Fresno, meet your new champion of Beef Rib pho. That rib was not the biggest, but the meat fell off the bone like it was cooked for a long long time. Absolutely Majestic and melted in my mouth which no other pho place can even come close. The best Rib pho in Cali, period!

Stopped here on the way back from Yosemite. Ordered the egg rolls as appetizer. They were okay. I ordered the spicy lemongrass chicken vermicelli. It was very good. Lots of flavor in the chicken. I did think it was a little too spicy for me but my husband who loves spice, said he’d order it again. He had the specialty fried rice which had shrimp, chicken, and sausage. He said it was tasty. Kids ordered chicken pho. It was very good. All the portions were huge! I wish we had shared because when we were full, it looked like we hadn’t touched it! lol. Bring your appetite when you visit! Got 2 orders of the chai tea and they were good too. Would def come back
