Excellent!. In town for a night and convinced my colleague to get some Pho. We were not disappointed. Once we walked in the front door I knew that we found a gem. It's a small hole in the wall that does one thing well, cook really good food. The service was really good, the server was pleasant, and the Pho was AMAZING. I'll be back the next time I'm in town.
I had take out and went to pick it up. Very friendly and great food. The fried vegetable dumplings were some of the best I've had. The chicken Pho was also great - came with fresh basil and other toppings on the side.
Wow!. The best meal I have had in a long while! Everything was great, but the Bun with spring roll really stood out. Broken rice with the grilled steak was also great. We ordered off the small plated menu and the servings were huge! The waitress was excellent and answered all of our questions. I can't wait to go back!
Good food. Ordered the a5 & n10, food was great and enjoyed the fresh herbs and sauces that accompanied the meal.

Fabulous and fun with a group.... ...because you get to try more new tastes! And BYOB and a private room.
This is the top asian spot for me and friends as everything is made to order with abundant fresh ingrdients. The scent of fresh herbs, the colorful presentation, the informed and delightful staff to guide you....do not miss this one. Skip Bahn Hoi and Com Tam (broken rice) at your peril.
Service has gotten much faster and they have many new vegetarian options!
Modern decor and very clean restaurant. Great food and great service. Best Vietnamese food in Pittsburgh.
Top place. Delicious, authentic food, friendly service, reasonable prices and BYOB. We'll be trying the noodle soups next time. This could become a staple.
Delightful Experience. I went here on a date tonight and everything was wonderful. The food was perfect; perfect flavor perfect portion. I had the broken rice with shrimp, pork and quiche and it was divine. My bf ordered one of the beef based pho soups and it was also wonderful, though he said he preferred my dish. What really set this place apart was the service. Everyone we encountered was genuine and friendly. Our waitress was beyond knowledgeable. We overheard her explaining about half the menu to a nearby table who was nervous about ordering. She made everyone feel comfortable and made sure we ordered something we'd like.
Pho was good but not the best I had. We sat upstairs with no background music. It felt like I was eating in the attic.
Great experience. Tried a lunch and a dinner over the last month, and both were extremely good. The variety of the menu is remarkable, with a large selection of Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes. I had "broken rice" with quiche, shrimp, and shredded pork. it was very tasty and a good value. Today I had the Tilapia special for lunch. Tilapia is not my favorite, but I usually go for the specials. This was fortunate choice. The fish was nicely prepared, much better than typical Tilapia, and was more than enough for me. My son had Thai tofu and pepper in a spicy basil sauce that was delicious and had just the right amount of spice. The service on both occasions was very friendly and attentive. Jessie was our server today, and she could not have been more gracious. The dining room is small with maybe a dozen tables, and the background music is not intrusive. Great food, great prices, and BYOB in a quiet and pleasant environment. Will probably become a "regular" here.
Great food!. I've had Vietnamese before and it's usually good, but this place exceeded my expectations! My family had good fairly normal dishes, but I got daring and tried the Bun Bo Hue. Very "Bizarre Foods" friendly with pig knuckles, Vietnamese ham, and flank...hot too. Wonderful flavors and textures and it was actually hot too (I eat Habaneros). Wonderful service and great first experience there...will recommend to friends and family. Return destination!
My New Obsession. As a regular to Squirrel Hill, from the moment I saw the sign for a new Vietnamese restaurant I knew it would be fantastic. And I was not let down. We have gone twice in the past two weeks, and will be making the third trip this week for sure!
The waiters and waitstaff are fantastic, the atmosphere relaxing and beautiful, and the food is to die for. Each time I ordered I was given wonderful explanations on the name of the dish and how to eat it, as each is different. It is a wonderful place to try new dishes and ingredients you would never imagine, I ate Durian on Valentine's Day!
I recommend for an Appetizer the Choa Tom, or Shrimp on a Sugar Cane Skewer. It was insanely good, and though there are only 2 small pieces, it is worth every penny. The wonderful waitress recommended the Bun Vermicelli, any kind, and I went for the triple protein option of pork, shrimp, and beef. Amazing. Super incredible. Go there now!
The food was delicious!!!! I ordered their version of General Tso's chicken and fried rice...pleasingly surprised at how good it was. And, the waitress Jesse (sp), was hilarious!
Good, not fantastic food. Very friendly service. Fresh spring rolls were nice except the pork being a bit too fatty. Noodle bowl was very good. Pho ga lacked depth of flavor but still good. Will try again.
Really good Vietnamese in Squirrel Hill. Try the Chef's Specialty "Banh Xeo", CS7, an amazing set of crepes infused with shrimp and shredded pork. All the menu items come with loads of awesome fresh whole basil and other herbs. Setting is low-key.
Drove past and noticed this place just the other day and had to try it. Boy was I glad we did! Excellent pho. Friendly service (love when they're willing to tell you what their favorite menu items are). Couldn't have been happier.
Finally pho in 15217. I'm so excited to finally have pho in my neighborhood, it was the one asian dish that was missing...and happens to be our favorite asian food.
The broth was very flavorful, although could have been hotter as it was very luke-warm. But had a nice richness to it. The rolls we got as an appetizer were delicious as well.
They have many front of house issues to work out with the service, and seating etc, but we were there during their soft opening so I'm confident these issues will work out.
We can't wait to go back!
My wife is Vietnamese and she says that this is best Vietnamese in town. Not as good as Houston but a lot closer! Spring rolls could be bigger. Pho excellent.
Mmmm !. Great new addition to the Skwill(squirrel hill) restaurant scene ... I had goi cuon & Bun Bo Hue ... The goi cuon was as good as any other versions of this appetizer at other PGH Viet. eateries that i've had ... The B.B.H. was a slightly lighter than usual take on this spicy-beef-noodle soup that included pork-blood-gelatin? chunks that was as I was advised by the waitress true to the dish's Vietnamese country-side roots...Somewhat minerally and liver-like in taste but I thought "What would Andrew Zimmern do ?"
I think I somewhat prefer the B.B.H. @ "Vietnam's Pho" as it's a denser / spicy-er take on the dish but this was very very good, in any case and I will definetly be back to try more of the menu's offerings ... Nice funky eclectic interior . Looks like they went L.E.D. light shopping @ IKEA which makes for a cool aesthetic in the somewhat cramped space ...
Had the bun dac biet and pho tai here. Both were delicious. Nice atmosphere and polite service. Will definitely be coming back.
Wonderful food, friendly helpful service, we will be back for sure!
Stopped here for lunch and was not disappointed! We shared the shrimp fresh rolls which were tasty and refreshing. The dipping sauce was delicious. Following, we had the stir fried yellow curry noodles and the roast pork pho. Both were well seasoned, flavorful and extremely generous portions. Service was friendly and prices are very affordable.
I got the beef pho ($15) and it was very good! They gave our table tons of bean sprouts which I appreciated. The pork egg rolls ($7) were also tasty. Our waiter was extremely nice and came back to check on our table frequently. I would definitely come back again. The only downside was that it was a little warm inside and I think if it was a hotter day outside it would’ve been pretty hot. If you go in the wintertime, though, the temperature shouldn’t be a problem.
Great food! We are not of vietnamese origin so we cannot attest to the authenticity, but we loved the pho and the crispy dumplings. The flavors are rich and aromas are plenty.

The service was great. The staff was really really nice. The fried spring rolls were delicious. I got the Beef Pho, and I liked it okay, but didn’t love it. I wouldn’t say don’t go here, def do. It’s a good spot, I’ve just had better pho elsewhere. I’ll still go back and try other items. My cousin said his was delicious.

Pittsburgh’s BEST VIETNAMESE. A cozy eatery with very pleasant wait staff who actually know the food/menu. In several visits, I (and friends) have enjoyed all the fares.
Start with either fresh rolls, pork spring rolls, and/or lemongrass tofu; dipping sauces range from sweet/lime with dash of fish sauce to silken chili/rice wine vinegar to the run of the mill Siracha to Vietnamese Hoisin sauce.
For those who love veggies, the exquisite Lotus salad is fantastic. It comes with a lovely lime vinaigrette that livens the veggies and shrimp.
There’s a great selection of Pho, all are great, the broths are very flavorful with a consistency resembling a French consommé which may be heated up to one’s capsicum tolerance (I recommend dashes of red & green fresh chilies). My favorite: made to order Veggie Pho in beef broth (Wow).
Then there’s the selection of vermicelli wraps. Again, any on the list is excellent. But I’m partial to the Banh Xeo, a magnificent Vietnamese crepes stuffed with pork and shrimp. It comes with a tray of fresh veggies and leaves of Romaine lettuce to wrap pieces of the crepes and veggies. Spoon on the sauce, and enjoy the delicate flavors and various textures.
Prices are very reasonable!
What a great place to dine for Vietnamese food!!!! It is so flavourful and fresh!!! Thank you Kristen for introducing me to this wonderful place! They have spicy and non-spicy options, I personally love spicy!!! The décor is charming and the staff is so great and friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant!🍜 😋😋😋😋😋
I've been craving PHO, so Hub and I tried this restaurant, and it was soooooooooo good...definitely recommend now that the only downside it is HOT idk if the AC is broke. The food tastes so FRESH I had the spring rolls and beef pho. I can't wait to come back.
The lettuce wraps, bun vermicelli and pho are amazing. 100%. Lost one star for the fried rice though.
Asked for the fried rice with the same lemongrass beef flavoring that’s used in so many other dishes.
They refused and gave me plain unseasoned beef. #rude.
Then, they didn’t even fry the rice so it’s plain white rice with egg, beef, green onions, and seemingly that frozen peas and carrots mix that everyone buys from the grocery store.
Honestly food gets five stars! The noodle bowls are large and tasty! Its honestly the perfect thing to eat in the winter. Ill definitely be back when its cooler. (There was no air conditioning so you get pretty hot eating the big hot bowl of food.) Service was mid. Our waiter didn't even ask what we wanted to drink.. just gave us all waters. They weren't rude at all though, just aloof. But yeah definitely recommend the pho with broth options.
The chicken pho was super yummy. It was pretty empty when I went on a Saturday at noon. I thought the pricing was very good too- $14 for my pho.

Great food! Great staff! I loveeeeeeeee shrimp mango salad. I had crispy pork rolls plus i love how fresh veggies come on the side with it. I love this place! Highly recommend for everyone who loves Vietnamese food !!!!
I love this place! The food is amazing! I could eat 3 orders of shrimp spring rolls alone 😋 Up to date as of Dec 2022.
Very authentic Vietnamese restaurant that serves delicious pho and springrolls. It's a smaller quaint family run restaurant with friendly service. High recommend for good eats!
The special vermicelli noodles are good, the sauce is not too overpowering with fish sauce. Of course it’ll smell but that’s a given. The eggrolls are good and have good fillings like pork carrots and mushrooms. The shrimp was the best, whatever breading the used to fry it is on point. The pork on the other hand wasn’t as juicy or tender as I expected to be based on industry standards. It was more in the dry side. They are busy because of short staffed which is happening everywhere, so be patient
My favorite is the Lemongrass Pork... so much that it's hard to order anything else!
Their phò is very good.
Friendly service and a very nice dining environment.
Highly recommended!
An excellent taste bud trip to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Proud return customer! Shout out especially to the expert waiter who always knows how to bring quality to Vietnamese dining.
