" Pho & Rice failed to impress me during my latest visit. The beef pho was acceptable but lacked authentic taste. I expected more fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. The staff was courteous, but that doesn't make up for the food's flat taste. As someone who loves Vietnamese food, I will probably not return unless I hear that things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly wish I could say better things about my visit. The pho tasted watered down, and the lack of vegetables genuinely disappointed me. I don’t recall even having a lime on the side, which is essential. The service was decent but the food didn't impress me. With better attention to detail in their recipes, I can see this place becoming much more popular. As it stands, I might not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll definitely be returning to Pho & Rice! I had the war wonton and it was delightful! Huge wontons packed with flavor, and they were served quickly. The staff members were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was relaxed which created a nice dining experience overall. I do wish they offered more authentic Vietnamese specialties, but still, I can't complain! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little find! We had a lovely meal here with a variety of dishes including the satay beef pho and shrimp spring rolls. The flavors were vibrant, and the staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. The interior is cute, though it could use a little sprucing up. Portion sizes were generous and left us satisfied without being overly stuffed. If you’re in the mood for a nice meal and good service, I highly recommend Pho & Rice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for a quick lunch! The staff here are always friendly, and I appreciate that my food is served hot and fresh. I usually order the vegetarian pho, and it arrives with an abundance of mushrooms and tofu. The noodles are good and chewy, but I wish they included more fresh vegetables. Atmosphere is casual, which I find comfortable for lunchtime meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant after hearing mixed reviews, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The pho was quite good, although I expected a bit more herb garnish. The broth had a nice rich flavor, and while it wasn't entirely authentic, it was definitely enjoyable. The service was prompt and the staff were attentive. The atmosphere felt a bit basic but clean. Overall, I believe Pho & Rice is a solid choice for anyone craving Vietnamese cuisine without the pretense of a high-end restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! We came here for lunch and tried various dishes — from pho to spring rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh! The only downside was the slight lack of spices in the pho compared to traditional recipes, but it was still delicious. The staff were warm and friendly, ensuring we had a great experience. I would recommend Pho & Rice for a satisfying meal with good service! " (*Curated Review*)
