I will be back here for the quality and price of the food. The service was great and energetic and the ambience of its location was not too bad.

I don't go to the PB area but after attending mass at Saint Brigid's it was a cold Sunday night and we were hungry. The nice part about Sunday night was it was kinda quiet in Garnet and parking was a lot easier. When I was in college at UCSD, going to PB was fun and the excitement of youth overrode the hassles of parking. Now I'm just old and grumpy. My favorite pho dish is pho bo kho and I have to say this is the best I've had so far. I a rich beef stew with a tomato based broth with carrots. I find it packs more flavor than the usual say pho tai broth. What really impressed me was their beef cuts. The beef was very tender and most importantly to me was that it was well trimmed. I hate having giant chunks of fat or cartilage stuck to the meat. I mean back in the day I'd chew the fat down but that ain't too good for me now at my age. Their meat was perfect. The noodles were a pretty good portion. My fam got their usual orders and nobody complained. We did try their take on nem nuong cuon, pork sausage rolls. They were good but we hold Brodard's version as the gold standard. Service was super fast and friendly. Very welcoming. I wasn't too keen on the structure itself. They had a glass sliding door and it was not doing a good job of keeping the pretty cold night air from blasting in especially as people were going in and out. I get I had steaming hot pho in front of me but that only helped so much. It's pretty spacious with a lot of tables. I can't imagine how packed it would be on a Friday or Saturday night but then again I'm not going to PB on a Friday or Saturday night at my age. Those days are long gone. But in some future quiet Sunday evening I do expect to return for a phenomenal bowl of pho bo kho.

Great food at a great price! I met up with some friends here before noon so it was pretty empty. I got there before my friends did and the waiter was patient but still attentive. I ordered the grilled pork rolls, fried chicken wings, and pho with rare steak. The food came out quickly and all of it was delicious. Especially liked that the fried chicken was topped with lots of garlic so it gave it a lot of flavor!

Top notch for picking up pho to go! I placed my order online and it was ready within maybe 5-6 minutes. They are very friendly as well. The rare steak pho is a favorite of mine and PB pho makes a really tasty one. Prices are reasonable. 100% will be back!

This is one of my go to places and I'll definitely be coming back here over the next few months as the weather is a bit chillier. Definitely a no-frills and not a fancy place, but I think that it's a great value for the money and also really good quality food. The service is pretty quick. I always love getting the chicken spring rolls and the specialty pho.

The service and food was beyond amazing. We ordered the bbq pork spring rolls and shaken beef, both were cooked to perfection and packed with flavors. The place was kept very clean and the staffs are attentive and welcoming. I highly recommend them!

Wanted to get a quick bite and bring some noodles back for our grandson so we found this place about 10 minutes away from our hotel. Luckily hubby has parking karma and we found street parking a block away. We ordered beef pho, combo vermicelli bowl and chicken fried egg noodles and Thai iced tea. We were eligible for 10% off $50 check in offer. The beef pho was delish with tasty broth, combo vermicelli bowl was good as well and the fried egg noodles were tasty with lots of veggies. Service was friendly and attentive
