" I visited recently and had the hot stone pho and was blown away by its presentation! The broth was delightful, and I loved that the ingredients were separate and customizable! Service was on point, very attentive, and the space was clean and stylish. Prices were fair for the portion sizes. Overall, a splendid dining experience! I will be returning to explore more of the menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a cool modern twist on traditional Vietnamese dining. I tried their hot stone pho and found it unique, though I did miss the traditional pho's subtle depth. While still enjoyable, it was a bit sweet. I also liked the beef salad, which was fresh and flavorful. The service was prompt, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. I feel like if they can tweak the broth a bit, they could really highlight the authentic flavors. Overall, a good experience worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful experience at Hot Stone Pho! The food was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. I ordered the hot stone pho and was genuinely impressed with how warm the soup remained throughout my meal. It was flavorful, and the quality of the meat was excellent. I also tried their soft-shell crab, which had a satisfying crunch. Service was prompt and friendly, making the meal even more enjoyable. Although the prices are on the higher side, I found the portion sizes generous and definitely worth it. I can’t wait to come back for the seafood dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hot Stone Pho is a great addition to the area. The dishes are visually appealing, and the flavors are adequate, although I find them to be a bit on the lighter side. The service could use some training, as it was a little slow during our visit. Nevertheless, I left full and happy, and think it deserves a second visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit. The atmosphere was nice, and our server was friendly, but I found the food underwhelming. The hot stone pho was good, but not memorable. I expected a more authentic experience. The appetizers we had, especially the calamari, were decent. If you're after an Instagrammable meal, this place delivers in presentation but might miss the mark in flavor. I probably won't rush back but wouldn’t mind giving a second chance down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a family gathering and I was quite impressed! The hot stone pho was not just a meal but a whole experience, the broth was flavorful, although I expected it to have a stronger kick. My family enjoyed the variety of dishes we ordered—the calamari was crispy, and the soft-shell crab bao was interesting too. Service was friendly and efficient. We had a great time and left happy. I would recommend it for a fun dining outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here recently and it was a good experience overall. I had the hot stone pho and found the broth delightful, though perhaps lacking a punch. The staff was welcoming, and the ambiance was cozy. My friends enjoyed their meals too, especially the seafood options. I think I'll swing by again to explore their different offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
