“ Where do I even begin, this place is amazing. I always find myself eating here atleast once a week with my girlfriend or my friends or even both. The food is always amazing no matter what you get. Its also very affordable especially for how much food you get. My favorite is the chicken pho and it's always exceptional. The atmosphere of this place is also amazing, the funny fails playing on the TV and recordings of the owner (kevin) playing the sax on projectors, Its always amazing to see. The service never fails and they always meet your needs and make you feel at home. If you ever see the dude with the baseball cap you're in extra good hands, thats daniel, he's awesome. Although everyone else that works there is also very nice and serviceable. Shout out to Pho Kevin, easily the best pho place I've been to and easily the best place to eat at in laurel. ”
“ Service was fast and excellent, very attentive! Pho was excellent for a place like Laurel, restaurant was extremely clean. $13 for a bowl these days is a steal ”
“ I love Vietnamese food. Near my work in Columbia there are quite a few Vietnamese restaurants. They are all pretty good. This one is a little distant from my work. However their food is tastier than the others. Most distinctively is no msg after taste. So I assume they do use the real cooked broth. The service is very nice too. Most time I see the owner’s son working there with a warm smile. The restaurant is not overly decorated but neat and clean. It’s a nice place to visit if you like Vietnamese cuisine. ”
“ Most of the food here is pretty good — flavorful and satisfying! The service is super quick and the prices are very reasonable . There’s also plenty of parking space which makes it really convenient. Overall, a nice spot for a casual Vietnamese meal ????????. ”
“ I came here with my daughter for the first time today. I was in the Laurel area on my day off and i’m usually picky with my pho spots since I usually go to my same one in rockville but I was far and hungry. Service was great. The broth from the soup was a little bland but once you add the lime, chili sauce and sriracha it tastes better. I did see what it seemed like an orange hair on my soup but I didn’t want to make a scene. So I just took it out. This looks family owned. Very good customer service. Inside looks a bit outdated but overall I think I won’t be back. That hair on my soup threw me off.. plus I’m sick so I was really relying on this soup to help me make me feel better better. I ordered large regular chicken pho. ”
