If you blink you could miss this place! But despite its appearance you will get amazing food! Will absolutely be going back. Very good service, everyone was so sweet and attentive! There were packaged dessert breads at the counter when I went, 3 for $5. I especially liked the taro bread. Just a good time all around. The bread rolls for the bánh mì were so good. Mine was pretty spicy which I wasn't expecting but enjoyed. I don't think there were spice ratings on the menu but I could've missed them, just be aware in case there aren't so you can ask if you have a low tolerance.

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food. It's in a little mom and pop hole in the wall place but food was great. Bun bo hue had mam rouc on the side with all the veggies. The soup was delicious. We also had mi kho hai san, egg noodle with seafood with soup on the side. Bun thit nướng cha gio and com suon trung. We also got banh mi thit nướng and banh mi thit người. All were delicious!!!Kids and wife approved!!! New place to stop by if your going to Hershey Park like us!!!

Little hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant with delicious food. I did read another reviewer’s post about the owners speaking in Vietnamese badly about the customers and I mean personally I didn’t hear them talking loudly or anything but it wouldn’t surprise me if that happened. The other reviewer was also correct though that after you sit, you get a menu and order (the Asian man came up to us) and then when you’re done you pay up front. You do have to stand there until they acknowledge you to even get your bill. Not sure how they do that and be that inattentive about it considering people easily could just walk out without paying lol

I liked the staff and didn’t have a problem with any of them. They gave us our food pretty quickly. No complaints about this and do recommend trying it if you’re into hole in the wall type places!

Really authentic vietnamese food with and amazing flavor the pho was second to no other pho I ever tasted. And the rolls were put of this world probably the best vietnamese food I've ever had. Cozy and simple looking but nonetheless great service and even better food.

Food so good nothing else matters. The location is an alley that makes me nervous even during daylight hours. The parking is sketchy at best. The interior decor is something that makes you think they are punking you. I have seen dive bars that aspire to be this tragically sad. And YES the food is good enough to overcome all that still get 5 stars. The bowls are HUGE and broth might be the best in the tri-county area. The spring rolls alone are worth the trip to this 3rd world hole in the wall.

I've been working my way through all the pho places in Lancaster. So far this is my top choice. The broth is fantastic- sweeter than most I've had which I loved. Prices are about the same as other spots, maybe a little cheaper. It's a family run restaurant, no frills but makes up for that with great food! My only "negative" didn't end up being really negative: they do not give you cilantro on the side plate. Just basil, sprouts, lime and jalapeños. But honestly I didn't miss it! The tables are loaded with the usual sauces but they also have fish sauce available. The meat was very flavorful and a good portion. So if you're a fan of pho and like sweeter broth, this is your kind of place. It's hidden away in the industrial part of Lancaster and hard to spot unless looking for it. 10 out of 10.

This is my second time here, & it’s my favorite spot out of Lancaster. The broth is everything ok!! So delicious and will definitely be always coming back, I love the front lady she serve well with respect. If you’re in need of a stronger ice coffee than DD, this is your place to try. It’s so strong but yet so good!

Chill authentic mom and pop shop with great food and good prices. They are also open earlier than other pho restaurants in the area on weekends.
