Reviews
The reviews about this mysterious and intimidating "old lady" really needs further clarification. This "old lady" is not the allusion of some lady living in a retirement home or sitting on a porch in front of a lawn type of imagery. As a matter of fact, she's not even old. As for her being rude, yes - there was a bit of a reactive attitude, but there were reasons for all that in what we encountered during our visit. Our group witnessed a customer who wanted to breastfeed OUT IN THE OPEN so of course the boss had to speak up and asked, can you have a covering. So it became a bickering session, and the mother was crying that she was not being allowed to BF or some form of claim about human rights and all that. But my god, this is a public restaurant, have some courtesy, and yes, it is right to ask for a covering. No one said she wasn't allowed. So the boss took it that when customers are being bullies, you have to take a stand. Sure, the boss was a bit rough around the edges, but all these reviews already prepared walk-in customers to anticipate for some monstrosity of person that is about to erupt on them. So with that, it is not fair to come into this restaurant with a premeditated opinion and expectation that some MMA showdown is about to occur. When in actuality, customers just want to come in for PHO. Bottom line. Anyways, we were greeted by a very cordial waitress with braids, with excellent customer service and recommendations! There was one family that came in separately, and wanted to add chairs to their table, and blocked the pathway (fire hazard.) So the waitress mentioned that there was a table big enough for their group in the back, and there's no need to put chairs in an active path. That, I found to be weird it wasn't understood - so once again, a misunderstanding took place and the family thought they weren't welcomed. And of course, it was clear they were reading all these yelp reviews and was waiting for the boss to come out. The waitress was kind to explain it's a hazard, and they did not take it with any understanding or flexibility. Makes you wonder if customers are just testing the restaurant/owners/workers - it was just odd. So the boss came out, and said the same thing about blocking - and then they eventually moved to a different side. The family of maybe 6-8 - were reviewing the menus and had asked for recommendations for about 20 minutes (I know because we came in at the same time, and we were 3/4 done with our meals), and that group decided to get up and leave when they realized there weren't vegetarian dishes. (which was also bizarre since there were vegetable dishes available.) NOW - after all this - it seemed like people were just playing games. So I hope this is going to clarify some of the negative reviews. For the PHO, it was fine. Ordered apps and iced coffee, too. Everything was on point. We hope that customers would just overlook these reviews, and really focus on the food, and what really matters. Yes, the boss may be a bit abrupt but that's just part of the business package, especially with handling difficult customers. Sometimes you may get the brunt of it but just move on. What's important is ya' gotcha PHO fix. Please support your local businesses!
Best Pho in Flagstaff, hands down. I've been coming here for 5 years. Friendly service, when it's not too busy. Most times it can get overwhelming for staff, but I've never had a bad experience. Just be patient and respectful. :) I also love the A2 spring rolls, and that yummy peanut dipping sauce!
The dining area could certainly use a makeover, BUT the food is on point. Fresh ingredients & tasty dishes.. Definitely a great place to get your Pho fix & enjoy yummy Vietnamese dishes.
I tried shrimp fried rice and pho. The best ever and I miss it now when I get home. I have read those reviews and was skeptical to come. I'm Vietnamese too and I would to clear this up is i culture thing sometimes people call on people to get things fast. I will come back and help them out for attitude issue the owner is so friend and the food is amazing and beyond. I love them both so much. This place is the best of the best in Arizona I have tried compare to others. Cô ơi. Đồ ăn ngon quá. Cô cứ làm ngon như vậy con sẽ ghé ăn nữa.
