“ Pho was great! The fresh spring rolls were a little differnt(not in a bad way) with pork and shrimp in them. Service was excellent! ”
“ Decent place for Asia food. I got here around 6pm on Monday to order for take out. The restaurant was almost half full and 3 staffs running around taking orders and delivery food. The inside of the restaurant may need more light since it feels dark. I got special Pho. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready. I enjoy all the beef. They were soft. The broth and noodles were alright. Wish I had more Thai basil in the vegetable bag, I got 2 leaves. Will be back here sometime to try other food. Staffs are friendly ”
“ Really good food. That simple. I’m from Toronto where I believe has the greatest food. But this Pho spot is not bad. Really tasty and the prices are fair. We came here twice for dinner since even the kids loved it so much. Highly recommended. ”
“ We quite enjoyed this little gem. The staff was friendly, welcoming and fairly attentive throughout our dining. The stir fry noodles with shrimp and vegetables had max flavor! Such yummy goodness!! The Pho wasn't as "unphogettable" as we'd hoped, but it wasn't a hard pass either. It was good, down-home pho ga.. just what we needed on a cold, wet and windy day. Definitely saving SEA as a favorite! Oh, and if you go, get the Thai Tea!! ”
“ The best Pho in Rochester! The House vermicelli and banh mi was also pretty good! I had the Kapoon and Thai curry in the past and recommend it too! ”
