" Had a disappointing experience at Clay Pot. The service was slow, and the food did not meet my expectations of authenticity. I had the Pho, which lacked the robust flavor I was hoping for. The atmosphere is nice, but that alone doesn't make up for the food. I may try it again, but it wasn't an outstanding visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful place for Vietnamese cuisine! The broth in the Pho is incredibly flavorful. Each dish I've tried has been authentic and delicious. Staff are always so accommodating and friendly. Great environment to enjoy a meal with family or friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Clay Pot Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends. I tried the classic Pho, and it was exceptional—packed with flavors and the fresh herbs really elevated the dish. The service was attentive too; my waiter ensured I had everything I needed. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my meal here! The ambiance is delightful, conducive for a pleasant dining experience. I loved the vegan Pho, but the other dishes weren't as great. The service was friendly but a bit slow since it was busy. Still, I would return for the friendly vibes and the good vegan options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always come here whenever I'm in Waco. The food is consistent, flavorful, and you can tell it’s freshly made. The only downside was that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, which sometimes makes the service slow. However, the Pho is always worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Clay Pot during a family trip and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The staff were very welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and charming. I loved the Pho—so rich and full of flavor alongside the fresh herbs. Portions were substantial as well. Overall, it was a delightful family meal and I would recommend it for anyone visiting Waco. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to! The clay pot with shrimp had just the right amount of spice, and the flavors of the broth in the Pho were rich and satisfying. The service was impeccable and the decor is lovely. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
