If you want authentic Vietnamese food, this is a great place to check out! The soup picture is the well known Pho, in this case with thinly sliced beef, and the other is Bun (vermicelli noodles) with pork egg rolls and pork slices. The food is as fresh and good tasting as they look! The interior is nothing special, it is in a strip mall too, but the service is friendly and the prices are hard to argue with.

Best pho in town. Don't come here expecting 5 star service just expect delicious and authentic Asian cuisine.

Yes. You should eat here. We come here all the time because it’s consistently the tastiest and most authentic pho we can find in the Des Moines area. You won’t be impressed by the building, but the food more than makes up for it. Some of my favorite places to eat aren’t much to look at, but I’m not going there to look around, I’m going for food. You may even feel like you been plucked out of the Midwest and plopped down in a restaurant somewhere in Vietnam or at least on the West Coast. I like the vegetable pho and Lemongrass Vermicelli with tofu (not on the menu anymore, but they can still make it). They load up the pho with all kinds of veggies, a richly flavored broth and fresh crisp bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, lime wedges and culantro (yes culantro, not cilantro) to top it off. Remember to use your chopsticks and fork together. Noodles will slip right off your spoon, but you want a little broth with each bite.

Excellent food, very poor service. Tables are not cleaned properly. Staff seem to have no time for you even when the restaurant is very slow.

I have been going here for years, finally writing a review and I would consider this one of the top 3 Vietnamese restaurants in town. The place is a little run down, minimal decor but decent sized, and the service is ok most days. If you are looking for good Vietnamese food then this is the place for you. I haven't been here in a while and they updated their menu. I had worked my way through most of their old menu and I haven't been disappointed in any of the dishes I had tried. Their Pho is definitely one of the best in town. Some of my favorites are: Goi Cuon Thit Nuong (Grilled pork spring rolls), Bun Cha Gio Tom Thit Nuong (egg roll, shrimp, pork noodle salad), Com Dac Biet (grilled pork chop, egg souffle, shredded pork\skin with sunny side egg over rice).
