I've eaten a lot of Pho from different restaurants. This place is by far the best. Such a balanced mix of meats and portions are perfect. Flavor on point. My family has been going here for years. It's now a tradition when we are in the area. If you like Pho, I highly recommend this place.

I am a Vietnamese who has been in many states and I must say this is one of the best Pho I’ve ever had in the USA. The beef broth is very tasty. I stopped by when they were about to close, but they accommodated for to-go order for me. I can see some reviewers were not happy about the waiters not talking much, I think it is just the culture.

Good authentic as far as I know (lol) food. Plenty of it as well. Just be careful with ordering anything with beef because we have gotten bones in the soup and the noodles dishes.

What can I say besides WOW, this Vietnamese restaurant in Coeur d’Alene is an absolute gem that’s redefined my love for this cuisine! Tucked away in the heart of CDA, this spot delivers an unforgettable dining experience with flavors that hit all the right notes. The pho is a true standout; the broth is nothing short of phenomenal, rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced with layers of depth that make every spoonful a delight. It’s the kind of soul-warming dish that feels like a hug in a bowl. The wontons were slightly overcooked, but honestly, they still worked magic in the wonton soup, which was brimming with savory goodness and tied together beautifully. The spring rolls! An absolute revelation, amazing rice paper on the outside, bursting with fresh, vibrant fillings, and served with a dipping sauce that’s pure perfection. The chicken fried rice was another highlight, expertly prepared with just the right balance of flavors and textures, each grain infused with savory, wok-kissed goodness. What sets this place apart is the attention to detail. Every herb was impeccably fresh, not a wilted leaf in sight, showcasing the care and passion poured into every dish. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger, and the staff’s genuine hospitality only adds to the experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a culinary journey that leaves you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished. Hands-down, this is the go-to spot for Vietnamese food in Coeur d’Alene. Skip the usual haunts and make this your destination, it’s extremely worth it!

Excellent broth, and they include a well braised rib in their combo pho, which is a really nice touch. Very fast for pickup orders. They've quickly become a frequent go-to when I don't want to cook.

We were visiting from Colorado for the weekend, and stopped in with a party of 8. The staff were happy to put tables together for us, and overall were very accommodating for a large part on short notice. Overall the broth was just okay, but the meat and noodles were great. While this is far from the best pho I've had, the staff and overall experience was good and I'd happily stop by again if I were in town!

Short, Simple, and Sincere. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Down to earth family who makes wonderful food that makes you feel good. Don't come here if you want a loud and extravagent dining experience. Come here if you know what's good food actually is or want to know

By far my favorite restaurant in town! The food is so wholesome and nourishing. I crave their Wonton Soup probably twice a month. Also love their #14 short rib & rice dish along with their spring rolls. 10/10
