Amazing food. Friendly place. Quiet. The best Pho Soup! Wontons yummy. Orange chicken. It’s all good! Don’t pass this place up!

If you want Cream Cheese Puffs, please don’t go here. Save your soul and stomach and go to china star instead. I went here out of desperation since China Star was closed. It’s all just cream cheese with no seasoning. The shell is chewy and hard but undercooked all at the same time. The bad reviews are not an over exaggeration, save your money.

Had the all meat pho. They only have 1 size which was good for me. The pho already comes with condiments such as greens and bell sprout in besides spice. Meatballs were not traditional but it was actually pleasant. Chicken texture was off and didn't seem fresh. The other meats were fine. Broth was crazy oily. Too much for me. I prefer clear broth. Noodles were clumpy as well so they were not cooked the best. Won't come here again.

The pho was a huge portion for the price. The broth was amazing. There was only chili oil, sriracha, and lemon juice from what I saw for condiments. The meat in the pho was delicious too and there was a lot of it. The sesame chicken was great and it came with rice. This was the half portion. The chicken is non-breaded and it is stated on the menu. The oyster chicken wings was the disappointment of the restaurant. It was probably the worst I have ever had. I think they put peanut butter in the sauce to make it thick. Everything else was great. Overall, great staff and mostly great food. I would definitely recommend this place.

I have to give it a 3.5 star. This little joint has so much potential to earn a 5 star from me. The pho broth was amazing (5 stars) but the meat quality and choices were of low quality when it comes to pho. If they threw in some quality meat like thinly sliced rib eye and brisket… game changer! Noodles were about the same as anywhere else. The presentation was also lacking and they put in hoisin sauce when served! That’s a no no. I like to eat my pho traditionally and have both the hoison and sriracha on the side.. that way it doesn’t ruin the amazing broth this place serves. 😔

Disappointed this is the second time I ordered from them and was not happy with customer service also quantity, the first time I ordered the curry chicken the half order they put it in a paper container that the lid unfolded opened and spilled all over the bag and my car and it was a small portion for what I had to pay which was expensive. I did call Dong Khanh to let them know what happened and they did not care to make it right with me the customer ... so I thought well I never got a chance to try the curry chicken because they put it in a cardboard box that leaks and that popped open and spilled all over my car! so I thought I'd give it one more try this time. I called in and asked for a double portion (full portion) so meaning double the portion for more money and this time I did make sure to ask them to put it in a plastic container do to what happened last time, well long story short there full portion was not a full portion... and I payed like $3.50 more for an extra table spoon worth... do to not trying to make things right the first time with a customer being me and being stingy with quantity and this time being stingy as well with quantity. I would give them a 1 star rating also there expensive. I recommend if you order from them chicken curry make sure to ask for a plastic container and it's very saucy also expect to pay a lot for a small portion, but I will say the chicken curry did taste good but I've had better quality and quantity wise for cheaper.

Very weird customer to employee experience. This definitely is a take out place rather than a dine in as you get little to no interaction from the workers present. I didn't even get a notice of when my food was ready, they just slid my food over the counter and expected me to know to go get it.

The food was very subpar. I got the shrimp pho. For the price, you do get a decent amount but you literally have no control of how you want it to taste like. Not the best pho in town contrary to others' opinions.

One of my friends got the pork lo mein which wasn't even cooked fresh. They grabbed it from one of the pans. It looked and tasted old and some of the noodles had gotten hard.

The wontons were honestly the best part about this visit. Very good wonton skin as well as being nice and fresh! These would be the only reason I would eat here again.
