Best VEGAN pho I've ever had. The broth is incredibly flavorful. Tried their other Pho broths - the vegan def the best. Plus comes with tons of veggies. Which I love. Typical Pho has little to no veggies (along with ALL those noddles and protein of choice), not an actual complete meal. I order the Vegan Pho to go with an extra side of just the vegan broth. There's so many veggies, tofu, and sprouts in one order - actually need the extra broth for a good soup ratio. Plus I get multiple servings at home. Highly recommend!!

pho dreams is a cute family owned vietnamese restaurant. we easily got a table on a saturday night. the man who served us seemed like the owner, and was very friendly. the inside couldn't been a bit cleaner in the dining area. the food came out very quickly. we got a rare steak pho - my partner said it was delicious! i tried some and have to agree. i got the vermicelli dry noodle bowl with beef and egg rolls. it was pretty good, but have definitely had better. i'd go with the pho, the broth was delicious.

I don't understand how they don't have a higher rating! The employees are so sweet here! And the vegetarian bánh mi is 10/10! I hope people don't get discouraged to try this place out because of the rating :(

This place is as authentic of a pho restaurant as you can get: it's a little messy inside but it's pho! Messy pho places tend to be the best places. The owner served us and was fascinatingly quirky; told us he knows every business in the area and offered to get us anything from any of the businesses around to make our acquaintance. People might see this man as overbearing and creepy, but I saw him as a gentleman who's been in the business for a long time and just knows how to please his customers. Anyway the pho was actually very very tasty. My wife had some of my rare steak and really enjoyed it despite the fact she doesn't normally like rare steak pho. Iced coffee was good, but Thai tea seemed a little off, I recommend skipping the fun drinks and just ordering yourself a beer. When it came time to pay, the cash/card system was a little weird, so if you're craving pho I recommend you skip the plastic and just bring cash.

Ate here twice and my experience was much better than most of these bad reviews. We had pho the first time and I can't recall details but it was good enough that we came back to eat again. This time had lemongrass chicken banh mi with egg and it was sooo delicious. Def hit the spot. Baguette perfectly crisp and tons of cilantro which I love. First time having a banh mi with egg and enjoyed it. Good crisp cucumber, onions and carrot slices and a yummy sauce. Companion had the beef stew with egg noodle. Our first time trying that dish and loved it. Broth was flavorful, soft veggies and loved them noodles. Also has a mango smoothie and it was very yummy. Again not sure why the bad reviews. The staff is kind. We were saying how tonight was like dinner with a show lol, it wasn't busy and the guy was joking around with us and chatting away. He was very funny and it was good service. He did say how numerous people come in and go straight to use their bathroom or some even sit and play and order and then use the bathroom and leave. So horrible. And then it happened while we were there! A 3 person family came in, sat down, he gave them waters and after a while we noticed they disappeared out the back. So odd! The place is decently comfortable and has some décor. Nice to be in on a cold night. The bathroom isn't the best but I've seen worse and it gets the job done. The last time we were there the lady server wasn't the best. She was really rushing us and I ordered a Vietnamese coffee from the menu and she brought me something else and then informed they don't it. Whereas this time when I ordered the mango smoothie he let me know ahead that they might not have it. I give it 4 stars and don't agree with the lower ratings.

Went here for the 1st time with my sister & niece. I will say the pho was decent and the spring rolls could've been better. The real winner was the pork banh mi sandwich which was so good! The bread isn't as crusty as I'm used to but it actually made it better because it was crisp but soft & didn't scratch up the roof of my mouth (IYKYK). Will definitely be coming back for more sandwiches.
