I have tried Phở OX tail and Filet Mignon with Steamed Rice, they are absolutely good compared to other Phở restaurant. The interior seems nicer, cleaner to me. It’s definitely easier to get a seat inside during lunch. Comfortable seating, easy parking and free drink such as ice tea and soda… But it’s only open until 6pm. I’ll be back because it’s slightly more convenient for me to get to… It brand new opens on Mar, 12013 with new manager. I talked to the manager and he was so nice. He said there would be new and best recipes coming soon. You should drop by and check it out. :)

Decided to try this place since it was new, and the fact that they give you free drinks with your order. Service was like whatever which I didn’t quite understand why because we WERETHEONLYTABLETHERE! Our server didn’t bother telling us what their specials were, and just left the menus on the table for us to look at. We ordered phở bo vein and phở specials, we also ordered drinks. When the drinks came we were short on some drinks and told our server –_-’ they rolled their eyes at us and did the tsk noise with their tongue which pissed me off because we were the customers not their damn kids! The food came out and we proceeded to add the veggies into the soup noodles, it was then that I notice a nasty and bitter smell coming from my bowl of phở, my friends also noticed it in their bowls. We told the server and they were like«yeah that’s the soup. That’s how it supposed to be» and I’m like seriously! I tasted the soup and that nasty bitter smell and somewhat of an unpleasant taste was star anise. A spice that is bitter in nature and can be used be not boiled endlessly otherwise it’ll ruin the food taste and smell. Yeah… I cook a lot at home lol. After like three mouthfuls I didn’t want to finish the phở cause of the taste and smell. My friends were also the same. We paid the bill and left, we actually had to stop by some place else to get food. I’m all about supporting mom and pop shops but not when they are that horrible!

This place just opened. Its located in the plaza with the old my hanh. Place seems pretty clean. Staff is pretty friendly and nice. portion size is pretty big. My mom came here a few times already and she likes their phở. When I came here we got hu tieu mi kho and com thit ga nuong. Both was just okay to me, hence the fact that I gave them a three star. What I truly liked is the service for An Asian place which is rare that it could be really good! The food came out at a good wait time. It wasn’t super long. They had huge bottles of condiments on the table. For example, they had the whole big bottle of fish sauce on the table. Menu had the typical things: phở, hu tieu, com tam, etc. Plenty of shared parking with other businesses. *closed Wednesday! Just fyi. Cash only! They also provide free Vietnamese newspaper. Take up on their free drinks while they are promoting their grand opening.(pennyworth, canned soda, soybean milk, CA phe sua da, etc.) I would come back just to try the phở. Since the place is called phở ilove. Happy eating, Unilocalers!
