“ Delicious food, ive never had Vietnamese food before, i was so happy to try a few dishes, i will be back soon. ”

“ I stopped by Happy Pho for lunch on a rainy day. The service was fast and efficient, which was great for a busy lunchtime. The portion size was generous, definitely good value. However, the rice noodles were overcooked. Other than that, everything else was good. If they improve the noodle texture, it would be a solid spot for a quick pho fix. ”

- Ann Nguyen -

“ I ordered the number 7 rare steak bowl and was surprised with the richness of the broth on a busy rainy day. I was so happy to find a hot bowl of pho that exceeded my expectations while in a part of town I rarely visit. ”

- Jesus Tamayo -

“ Tried the Happy Pho Special tonight and it’s pretty tasty. I would probably get another pho dish though because I mainly just ate the beef, noodles and soup in this one. The Happy Pho Special just had too many meats for my taste. The soup base of the pho is nice and rich though. I enjoyed the rice noodles. I also ordered a side of the Shrimp Egg rolls that worked well wrapping with the lettuce it comes with. The service brought me a little extra sprout salad as well with lime (which there are some sauces on the table to add to). Overall, dining here was a nice treat and I look forward to trying the other types of dishes they have to offer! ”

“ The restaurant was clean and very nicely decorated on the inside. The staff was cheerful and upbeat. Ordering was easy. My order was ready after a short wait, as I opted for to-go. I consider myself a Pho lover, and I know good pho from bad pho. This place serves great pho! The broth was really good; super proper, not overwhelming in any way, but extremely pleasant and enjoyable. I could not detect any MSG. The portion of rare beef with one of the bowls of pho was HUGE. Super fresh and lean thin slices. The noodles were also really good, only moistened enough to stay al-dente when in the hot soup. My daughter also loved her grilled chicken pho. All in all, this was a very enjoyable bowl of soup. Super proper, I would highly recommend. ”

“ This is my first visit so I can only comment about my first impressions. I went in the middle of a week day so it wasn't busy and parking was easy. It was quiet inside. There doesn't seem to very much staff that day. I ordered a steak pho bowl with beef broth. The texture of the noodles was good. The broth looked plain at first but turned out to be pleasantly flavorful. The cuts of steak were good and tasted very fresh. The service was decent but I'm afraid of how the staff will handle a busy day. All in all it was a positive experience and very affordable. I'd come back and try again because I like to support smaller thriving businesses if their products are good ”

“ The spot we originally wanted to go to was closed for the day, so we decided to try out Happy Pho because it was close by and it turned out to be pretty good. We ordered the pork/shrimp egg rolls, vegetarian egg rolls and shrimp egg rolls, all which were good. We also ordered the shaken beef rice dish, and I appreciated that the egg was cooked perfectly over medium, as well as the happy pho special, which my friends enjoyed. ”
