" Upon visiting, I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic and delicious the food was! The pho had a rich broth and generous servings of meat and noodles. However, the service left me wanting more; it was slow and the staff didn’t seem very interested. The atmosphere was laid back, but the decor felt outdated. Overall, a solid choice for good Vietnamese food, just don’t expect spectacular service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with my family and we ordered a variety of dishes. The pho received mixed reviews from us; some liked it while others found it average. The spring rolls stole the show! It's a casual atmosphere that's perfect for families, but the service had its ups and downs. One staff member was lovely, while another seemed overwhelmed and distracted. The cash-only policy is definitely frustrating but the generous portions somewhat make up for it. Overall, a solid restaurant with potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Son is an excellent place for a quick bite of genuine Vietnamese food! The menu has a variety of options, from hearty pho to delightful spring rolls. The pho broth was the star; rich and flavorful, exactly what I needed. Just keep in mind to bring cash, as they do not accept cards. I’ll definitely be making a return visit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Vietnam for several years, I often miss the authentic flavors of home, and I'm glad to say that Thai Son does not disappoint in that respect! The pho was delicious, with perfect noodles and a flavorful broth. The service staff was friendly, though not overly attentive. I also loved the fried spring rolls. Just remember, they only accept cash, which was a bit of a hassle! Overall, a delightful experience and I will return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, the food was impressive, especially the variety of pho available. However, my experience was marred by the rude demeanor of the staff. It's unfortunate because I would have rated them much higher if the service matched the food quality. The restaurant vibe is casual but with room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience. Despite reviews touting high quality, the pho I received was rather bland and the meat was tough. Service was also quite lackluster; I felt neglected through my entire visit. The establishment itself could use a refresh for a more inviting atmosphere. It’s unfortunate because I had heard good things. I likely won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I could not get enough of the pho at Thai Son! The rich, flavorful broth and generous meat portions made for a perfect meal. The place tends to be packed which can lead to slower service, but I find it worth the wait! Remember, it's cash-only, which I find inconvenient but manageable. Overall, a great spot for Vietnamese food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
