Great place for a work day lunch. Fast and big portions. My bf and I only ate half our dishes and are looking forward to eating our leftovers. Prices are bit high but not bad considering 2 meals is really 4 by portion size. Staff is kind and prompt!

This was an amazing find! It was just a short walk and I almost passed the location since the signage is minimal. The service was quick and polite. The interior is dated, but clean. The food came out hot and fresh. The flavors were there and just what I wanted.

We were in the mood to try something Asian with vegetarian options and this restaurant has a menu section for vegetarians, so we came here. First, you guys need a bigger entrance door!! The small entrance is so easy to miss or to mistake for an employee or back entrance. The restaurant is actually very spacious inside, but you'd hardly figure that out from the outside. Our hotel is close by so we walked. If you need parking, there are parking structures around. They seemed to be short-staffed as the chefs were also helping out with serving at times and it was hard to flag down our specific server, who seemed to be among 3 servers managing about 15 full tables and a bar. We ordered the veggie garden spring rolls, the veggie banh mi, the bun xao ga (rice vermicelli with chicken), the goi ga (chicken and cabbage salad), the mi goi xao dac biet (house special ramen egg noodles with shrimp, chicken and pork) and the honeydew and green tea boba teas. Everything was pretty mild with regards to spice level. My parents enjoyed the garden rolls and the veggie banh mi. Just a FYI: the veggie ham tastes nothing like real ham, but the sandwich itself was a banh mi. It is a pretty small size so one person can definitely eat the whole thing. The bun xao ga was nice but not exactly the spicy dish I was promised. The chicken in it was a little chewy. I asked for their homemade chili oil and had to douse my dish in about 30% of the contents to get the spice I was looking for. I didn't get it fully but it definitely tasted a little spicier. This is a great dish if you want mild flavors. My brother inhaled the goi ga. He liked it and appreciated that there were lots of veggies to balance the chicken. His ramen was also very good with the exception of spice. He doused his ramen in siracha sauce to get the kick he wanted. I loved the boba teas. The boba was soft and easily melted in the mouth when you bit into it. The honeydew was quite sweet and the green tea had a bit of an earthy taste, which was exactly what we were going for. Price wise, we paid about $80 for the whole meal, which I think is quite reasonable for downtown Cleveland. All in all, this was a good experience but I'd really like them to kick the spice level up when we ask for it....and that entrance....please figure out a way to get a more visible entrance!

If you are looking for some good Pho in Cle look no further. I stopped in upon recommendation of a friend and I sure am glad I did. I grabbed takeout. Waitress Sue was so helpful, kind and knew her menu. I got the veggie pho to go. This restaurants pho is simply amazing. One of the best veggie pho I've had in quite some time. All the veggies were super fresh even the bean sprouts were nice and white. The broth had lots of flavor and I barely had to add anything other than sriracha and a squeeze of lime. Parking in the area is a bit tricky it's located on Rockwell across from Dunkin . Plenty meters around and some lots you could park to walk from. I cannot wait to get back and try some other dishes.

Great food and great service! Won't lie the inside is slightly an eye sore, very outdated but the food is FRESH!!! Some of my favorite pho i've had. Went on a date night and was good, but honestly would choose elsewhere for a date night spot. This is more of a pick up and go type of place. No flaws other than the ambiance. Would be back!

I had a little hard time finding it because the door is small with limited signage (or I could have come in through the wrong door). The door opens into a gigantic space with circle bar seating in the middle and plenty of tables. I loved the sparkly orange counter of the bar. Service was fast and my water was always kept full. I ordered the pork & egg roll vermicelli bowl and added a fried egg. It was perfect. The ingredients were fresh, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The egg yolk was even like a jammy velvet. I'd come here every week if I lived here. The best part--homemade chilli oil!!!! It was so good. I kept spooning more on because the flavor was so delicious, but I finally had to put the lid back on before my nose started running uncontrollably. Perfection.

Working downtown again. Visited Pho Thang with a coworker for lunch because I recall the food being good. We were promptly greeted and seated. On this visit, I requested one of my favorites - vegetable fried rice along with some fresh garden rolls. A short time passed and our meals were delivered. They were hot and looked amazing. The fresh garden rolls were tasty. They were sticky and yummy, but they did not have any shrimp in them. Next time, I'll order the shrimp variety. The peanut sauce didn't have a bold flavor. My veggie fried rice was amazing. Loved it! The only issue I have is no refills were provided. In fact, I don't think I've ever received a refill here, which means I need to make sure I get the server's attention on future visits. Great food!
