Excellent Pho! Ordered #1, generous portion size. Also the Avocado drink with Jack fruit and lychee (I think), it was awesome! Friendly service. Very clean, fresh place to eat.

I was wishing for Pho, glad I gave it a try. More than great prices for the portion you get. Nice little hidden gem. If you want nice big bowl of Pho for under $15.00 you better stop by and give it a try

The best hole-in-the-wall pho-restaurant!! We LOVE coming here! The owners are so sweet, the prices really good and the food just AWESOME! I never had anything I didn't enjoy!

Pretty good chicken pho once everything was added, but the cashier had a strange attitude, wasn’t very friendly, wasn’t nice nor welcoming. Made me feel like he didn’t want my service. There’s no restaurant without customers and part of that is customer service. Clearly not customer service oriented here which is a shame because the Pho is good.

This place didn't look much from outside but was a pleasant surprise. The menu is simple yet the food is delicious. Generous portion. The dining area is very clean.

Been to every pho place in Bellingham and Lynden as of mid 2025. You can tell alot about a resteraunt by their Hygeine standards. This is the hands down the cleanest Pho setting you’ll come across in the area. Food is delicious. Portions are sizable, and pricing is average. I ordered the spicy beef noddle soup, picture below.
