A dinner choice for an evening. Three of us ordered 3 different plate options and all were delicious. Sushi, Thai, n a chicken based plate. Drinks were ok. Good appetizer options. Quiet and quaint. The servers were friendly and attentive.

The Phở here is absolutely amazing, I always ask for the Phở broth to be extra hot (boiling not spicy) and they always do it to perfection! The egg rolls are also amazing! The restaurant may look like it's closed from the outside, but it's not. The two gentleman servers are always so pleasant too!! I 100% recommend this place to everyone I know!! I love Pleiku!

Food was amazing! I had the pho with beef and brisket. Flavorful soup, soft noodles, and both beef and brisket were tender. Also the soup was very hot which is important to me. The crispy egg rolls were amazing! Freshly made and tasty, and the fish sauce was perfectly made. Service was on point. There were two servers and they were attentive to all the customers in the restaurant. I like their water pitchers, it was quite unique. The ambiance of the restaurant was also perfect. Lighting was dim to set a nice dining experience. The music was light and volume was not too loud so that you can have a nice conversation with your table. The restaurant is great and highly recommend going! Will be back for sure!

Delicious! Great service, lovely ambiance and a great dinner for our family of 4. We are visiting from Los Angeles and eat a ton of Asian food - this was excellent.

I moved out of slc but I come back here every time I visit, the tofu is the best I've ever had. Please try any dish with tofu in it and you won't be disappointed. The staff are always friendly, the ambiance is nice and the decor is cute (despite its location in the ever declining salt lake downtown). Parking may be difficult, I have only ever ordered out and walked here.

Stopped here during a layover from Mexico to California. I was surprised at how delicious their pho was, and at an affordable price! The broth was delicious and was everything we needed after our trip back from Mexico. We had endless tacos and needed some soup in our life. The service was a little all over the place, but to be fair there was only one server. It was the cutest little spot that served kick ass noodles ! Recommend recommend!

Lovely in every way. Service was polite and attentive. Food was fresh, attractive, and delicious. Atmosphere is classy but also warm. A very minor complaint is that it's very hard to eat food with metal chopsticks, because everything slides off (luckily, they also provide a fork). I had the pork vermicelli, which is my favorite dish at Vietnamese restaurants. This is a bit different than what I've gotten in other places - the pork is a little chewier than the roasted pork I'm used to, but it was still tasty. The vegetables were lovely and delicious - they had spinach leaves instead of shredded lettuce, which is a wonderful substitution. This dish comes with a fried egg roll, which I can't eat, but they were happy to substitute a spring roll at no extra charge.

Maybe carpool to this one because I had to park in a paid lot and then when I was waiting for my friend some dude approached me and told me he'd written the book I was reading and someone stole his ideas and was profiting from them... Aside from that! Once my friend arrived we were seated immediately. Service was pretty quick. I asked about gluten free options and the guy vaguely gestured at one side of the menu and said anything in a wok couldn't be made gluten free... so I decided to just be safe and get pho. The pho tai was pretty good. The broth was flavorful. The meat was fine. Lots of raw onion I think should have been on the side. Good amount of noodles so you probably don't need to pay the $3 for the extra noodles. My friend enjoyed his caramelized pork sandwich. He said the bread was crispy without being overly hard or flaky and the veggies complemented the sweetness of the meat. He did say the side of chips wasn't great. Overall a good dining experience.

TLDR; the only reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5 is because the ambiance is kinda weird, it can get really quiet which i'm not a huge fan of. Other than that, this is one of my favorite vietnamese spots. If you're coming here, go straight for the street cart fries, bun rieu, and vietnamese coffee. Bun rieu has been one of my favorite noodle soups for a LONG time, and the bun rieu here is BANGIN. It comes with a whole softshell crab on top. The street cart fries don't really have a great equivalent in standard vietnamese cuisine but the flavors all make sense and are also BANGIN. The ca phe sua da here is like a gift from heaven and I could probably down 3 glasses with every meal. Last note, the pho broth isn't as fatty / beefy as I would like but if you get the bone marrow pho you can use some of the fat from the bone to spruce up the broth. Very good.
