They were open on Thanksgiving, thank goodness. Had the curry pho and it was amazing. Soft fresh rice noodles, really... flavoursome broth, lots of dark chicken meat. Thank you for the good food. The photo doesn't do it justice. I've been herebefore and it's the best pho on the Peninsula. It wasn't crowded at all when I came, but if you are COVID conscious, this placedoesn't have outdoor seating (there is no space for it). Read more

I used to order from pho element a lot, all take-outs, not once eating at the restaurant but this is the last straw that broke... the camel's back. It's safe to say after this encounter I won't be ordering from them anymore. Don't get me wrong the food ispretty good, that's why I kept ordering but no more. When I first order from them the soup was a little more than half (see thepicture), it looked a little strange and since they only have one size, I didn't think much of it. And most pho places won'tcharge for extra soup. So the next time around, I asked for extra soup and they were nice enough to give me some extra soup.This time I asked for more soup it was a $2 extra charge, no heads up, no telling me it going to be additional charge. My wifewas blindsided when she went and picked it up, they charged me $2 dollars for that!!!!???????? (see picture) I'm trulydisappointed. I wanted to go back and confront them but I was feeling ill and just wanted some pho soup. There's also one timewhen I ordered the five spice chicken vermicelli bowl and found a long hair.????

Incredibly kind staff, great food, good prices; but it?s no Gao?s Viet Kitchen. Sorry everyone but my heart already belongs to... Gao and his Viet kitchen. Great soup with thinly sliced noodles, good texture. Imperial rolls lacked flavor and salt, but goodcrunch. Summer rolls had too much vermicelli but nice touch with the leaf decor. Overall, great for the price. Read more

Another place to add on the list for easy eats. The staff is very attentive and the food was delicious. The place looks like... it?s been more focused on pick ups rather than dine in, because it?s not so organized as how it would have been. But the staffis attentive and food came out fairly quickly. Definitely worth going back to. One thing that needs improvement is their cheesyclams as it was not cheesy enough and would have probably tasted better with cheese that melt rather than Parmesan.
