" Pho Olala! What a delightful find! The broth was rich and flavorful, clearly made from quality ingredients. I ordered the beef pho, and it was cooked to perfection, with generous portions of meat and fresh veggies. I felt very welcomed by the staff, who were attentive without being intrusive. The vibes here are relaxed, with soft music playing in the background. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the grilled chicken salad and it was refreshing and packed with crunchy vegetables. I enjoyed the flavours very much, but I wished the chicken was a tad more seasoned. Service was lively and made me feel welcome, which is a big plus. I’d love to explore their pho options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing great reviews about Pho Olala, and I was not let down. Their pho is simply the best in town, with rich flavors and tender meat. The spring rolls blew my mind—they were so fresh! The only downside was the slightly cramped seating, but that didn’t deter from the overall experience. I will be returning often! Very happy with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

I’m usually in and out within 30 minutes during lunch, which is fantastic. It’s my staple lunch spot, and I love that they often have a few healthy options available. Highly recommend their summer rolls! " (*Curated Review*)
