Pho Luu - Kent

I absolutely adore this charming little restaurant. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) and Cafe Sua Da (iced sweet cream coffee), and both were outstanding, along with the service. My first question was, "Do you use MSG in your broth?" Thankfully, the answer was no. The portions were generous and only $11 (see photos). The dining area is roomy and spotless, reminiscent of the cafés in Saigon, though it lacks the bustling motor scooters. I give it a definite thumbs up!

On a positive note, the food was served quickly, but the flavor was peculiar, and the amount of meat in the pho noodles was very minimal—a trend I've noticed at some pho places lately. While I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone, my experience wasn't completely terrible. I was grateful it was an option since I was really hungry after driving for work and didn’t want fast food. Overall, it’s not a horrible place to grab a bite, but there are definitely much better pho restaurants out there.

I absolutely love the spicy noodle soup here! I've tried it at many places, but I haven't found anything that matches the flavor I desire. The decor is beautiful—it's probably the nicest pho restaurant I've visited in this area. However, the service can be slow when it's busy, likely because they don't have many staff. But believe me, the food is worth the wait!

I ordered pho through Uber Eats. After waiting for 15 minutes, the app notified me that my food was ready, so I went to pick it up. However, it wasn’t ready. I ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes in the restaurant. The food was just okay—not great.

I also noticed that some guests seemed offended when they weren’t warmly welcomed at closing time, but it’s important to understand that the staff has to clean the entire restaurant, not just your table. Overall, my first visit was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to return!
