" What a wonderful experience! The atmosphere felt like home, warm and inviting. The owner greeted us like family, which was a lovely touch. The food itself was incredible—best pho I’ve had in years! The only hiccup was that the wait time was somewhat long, but given that everything is made fresh, it was well worth it. I highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese ambiance and food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a very pleasant dining experience! The flavors were present in the pho, with fresh herbs accompanying the dish. I noticed the owners have a deep passion for the food they make, which resonates through their dishes. I would recommend the place for anyone looking for great Vietnamese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a lovely experience at Golden Era 1! Their pho is the best in the area—hands down! The flavor was rich, and the fresh herbs were a nice touch. Very friendly staff, too! Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent meal! Noted their spring rolls were the best I’ve ever encountered! The Vietnamese coffee was also refreshing, something new for me. I’ll definitely be coming back for more, particularly to explore their various pho dishes. Happy to have found a restaurant like this in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Era 1 is truly something special! The texture of the beef in their pho is just right, tender yet firm, complemented by the fragrant broth that warms your soul. I tried their grilled chicken, which was seasoned perfectly, and the service was swift and attentive. Although the atmosphere could use some more decor to feel cozier, it did not take away from the fantastic dining experience. I’m definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Remarkable experience! From the moment we walked in, the family vibe was evident. The food was fantastic, especially the pho broth. However, I believe the ambiance could be enhanced with a few decorations. I’d still pick this place any day for a fun dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for a casual dinner, and while the food was undeniably good, the overall experience felt a bit off. The timing of service was a bit slow, which was unusual considering other reviews. The pho was good but lacked the vibrant flavor I was expecting based on the recommendations. However, the friendly demeanor of the staff made up for the minor issues. Still, I will give it another shot because there are a lot of positive aspects! " (*Curated Review*)
