" Wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but Truc Lam really surprised me! Their seafood pho was heavenly, filled with fresh shrimp and clams. Even the broth had a beautiful taste. The restaurant could benefit from a bit of cleaning up, but if you can overlook that, you'll find a great meal. It’s a true hidden gem in St. Louis. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience at Truc Lam was good. The pho was solid but not as great as I expected based on recommendations. The ambiance did leave something to be desired—it’s a bit shabby inside. The service was decent, although staff could be more attentive. But I do think I'll give it another shot. It's worth a second chance based on the flavours I did enjoy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Truc Lam during my lunch breaks and found it to be a great spot for quick and tasty Vietnamese food. Their banh mi sandwich is always fresh, with a variety of fillings to choose from. While I appreciate the fast service, sometimes the staff seems a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, it's a reliable place for decent Vietnamese cuisine at an affordable price, though I wouldn’t classify the atmosphere as particularly charming. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are a pho lover, Truc Lam is a must-visit! I had the pho with rare beef, and it was divine! The broth was so flavorful and fragrant. However, my experience was slightly marred by slow service and the atmosphere was let's say, a bit rundown. I think they need to work on the dining environment, but if good food is what you're after, you won't be disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Truc Lam has become a ritual for me and my friends. We enjoy the low-key vibe and the highly authentic Vietnamese food. Last time, I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, and it was to die for! Service is generally efficient, though they occasionally seem understaffed. Regardless, we always leave happy and full.

" I had lunch here for the first time today. I ordered the pho ga and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. Many places skimp on ingredients, but Truc Lam truly packed my bowl! The waitress was cheerful, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Overall a positive experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been searching for authentic Vietnamese food in the city, and Truc Lam did not disappoint. The pho was tasty, albeit not as spicy as I would usually like it. I opted for extra chili on the side, which helped. Service was average; the staff was busy but friendly. Overall, it's a solid spot for a Vietnamese meal. " (*Curated Review*)
