Great, cheap food. If you are looking for ambiance, this is not the place. But the service is fast, and food is delicious! I come here regularly with my family- great place for children and adults More

We're from the Orlando Fl. area where they have a large Vietnamese district with many restaurants offering Viet cuisine. The pho at Viet 1 (not called Pho So 1 as others have noted) is as good as I've tasted, fresh and full of flavorful ingredients, including a heaping of additional sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime served on the side. We... More

As they always say, "Go where the locals go!" This is definitely one of those places that you can never go wrong. It's always flocked with asians, especially vietnamese (one good indicator that the food in this place is good). They have a lot of options to their pho and the broth is consistently and refreshingly tasty. Whenever we're in... More

It's now called Vietnam 1 but the food was fantastic. A treat for people who want to try authentic food from Asian countries. Was packed with Vietnamese. As the saying goes: if you see locals...a great find! More

We went to this place based on Trip Advisor reviews, but we didn't think it was so amazing. There definitely is not a lot of ambiance, which really didn't matter to us, but the food just wasn't great Good, fine, whatever, but not meriting the ranking on Trip Advisor. Also, it's hard to find because the sign out front doesn't... More

We have eaten here several times, most recently last week. The food was very good as usual. There are always Vietnamese couples and families are there eating from the neighboring area....the chalk board at the front door is for them as the Specials are written entirely in Vietnamese. I respect that. My husband got the Flan to go and said... More

They serve the best pho here but for other dishes, I prefer Mekong Restaurant on Broad. It's cheap, fast and delicious. I like to order extra noodles for a buck more. On occasions, their spring roll did not taste fresh. More

Customers were mainly Asian; but, included a melting pot of folks of all ages and families too. Good food, fast, friendly service. Clean, simple decor. Our family of four ate 2 appetizers and three entrees including tip for $43. And we brought plenty home for at least one more meal. More

Menu divided by meats with rice, soup, or rice noodles. Also vegetarian options. Food was fresh with great flavor! They also serve bubble tea, my husband had coconut, said it was... More
