" Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I tried Roots Bistro for the first time. I'm not usually a fan of pho, but after tasting theirs, I've changed my mind completely! The broth was rich and had an incredible depth of flavor, while the beef was tender and perfectly cooked. The place has a chic look but was still very cozy. I grabbed some spring rolls as well, and they were delightful! Fresh, crispy, and flavorful, they complemented my meal perfectly. I'll definitely be making a habit of coming here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Roots Bistro last weekend, and what a delightful experience it was! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere. I tried the Wagyu pho, and I must say, it was beautifully balanced in flavors. The broth was rich and deep, without being overly salty like some places I've visited. The portion size was generous, leaving me quite satisfied. Additionally, the staff was attentive; they checked in on me regularly without being intrusive. Can't wait to return to try their vegetarian options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was invited to Roots Bistro by some friends, and honestly, it has quickly shot up to my top favorite Vietnamese spots! The rare wagyu pho was the stand-out dish for me — the meat melted in my mouth, and the broth was rich with umami. Plus, the decor is modern yet cozy, making it an excellent place for casual dining. Service was friendly but a tad bit slow on a busy evening. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Roots Bistro for the warm vibe and fantastic food. Their menu stands out with flavors that stick to your taste buds, particularly in the pho, which is authentic and satisfying. I also tried their vegetarian options, which were delightful and not just an afterthought. The staff is generally friendly but can be a bit overwhelmed during dinner rush hours. Nonetheless, I'd urge everyone to experience this wonderful little spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roots Bistro is a beautiful restaurant with a menu that mixes tradition and a modern approach to Vietnamese cuisine. I've tried their wagyu beef pho, and I was immensely satisfied; the marbled beef was so tender! The staff is typically friendly. I had a small issue with the management regarding a table reservation, but this did not overshadow the delicious food. Overall, I'd recommend Roots Bistro for anyone wanting a satisfying list of Vietnamese dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little place for authentic Vietnamese food! I recently visited Roots Bistro, and my experience exceeded my expectations. The pho was delicious! I love that they offer fresh veggies as toppings. The atmosphere is cozy and conducive to conversation. The service was prompt, although at times I felt a bit neglected when the restaurant got busy. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" After multiple visits to Roots Bistro, I can confidently say their pho is a crowd-pleaser! I also enjoy their special fried chicken rice, which has a unique twist that's worth trying. The place is clean, with a charming atmosphere that soothes you right from the entrance. The only downside has been some slow service on weekends, but I believe those kind of things can improve with time. Overall, I look forward to many more meals here! " (*Curated Review*)
