Always friendly, vermicelli is always good. Tried the soft noodles combo - it was good, but was missing some flavor, like some garlic or ginger. But overall, always a good place to go for some pho.

The food is very decent for its price. I only paid $40 take outs for 3 dishes— few people to share. I was really impressed with the shaken filet mignon salad ($10). The quality of the filet mignon was pretty darn good! The server helped me over the phone named Cory was fantastic! He definitely should be promoted to a general manager.

This Vietnamese in town is excellent! The portions are generous, and the flavors are outstanding, especially the Red Top special pho, which features a rich, less oily broth. The place is clean and tidy, and it's conveniently located near a shopping complex with a Target supermarket.

I have ordered here before and like the fried rice and the pho was decent. I liked the spring rolls. The thing that sucks is when you order online, they sometimes cancel your order 10-15 minutes later, which you only know because of an email. Also, when you call, it's busy... A LOT! I didn't know busy signals still exist, but I guess they do.

I can't say enough about how great the food is here. The Pho soup is absolutely delicious. The pork chops are amazingly tasty and you get two pieces. The spring rolls and egg rolls are really good. The owner and staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. I also enjoy watching sports on the big screen TV's . The AC keeps it nice and comfortable while enjoying my meal. I eat here at least 4 times a week. Treat yourself to a great meal with family, friendly atmosphere.

I decided to check out this place on a Friday afternoon since it was rainy and chilly. I tried the large sliced steak and brisket pho. The large pho can easily feed two people. My pho was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Service was pretty good and I received my food really quickly. Define you will come back to try other items.

First time trying this place. I was in the area and thought I'd give it a try. I walked in not knowing what to expect. A very nice man greeted me as I informed him it was my first time there. He showed me the menu and helped me to chose my meal. I wanted something with noodles,no spice ,meat and yummy. After options I picked the crispy noodles with chicken,beef and veggies I.and gravy sauce. I got home and was happy they separated my noodles from the rest of the dish so it wasn't soggy. It was yummy. The service was great. Friendly staff. Nice inside. Next time I'll back with my family.

Probably one of the best Vietnamese places in the area (excluding West Covina). Both the Pho and dry noodles are superb. The only complaint I have is the hours listed on Google may not be correct. For example, it seems they are closed for Sunday dinner but they never updated it on Google.

Pho is something nostalgic for me and being from Seattle I had the opportunity to taste some of the best both in restaurants and in the homes of friends growing up. In my travels, a good bowl with a rich broth has been few and far between which is why finding Red Top felt especially serendipitous. My wife and I were in town for a wedding and when I saw the broth in the photos I knew it was worth a try. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by Minh. He briefly went over the menu and was transparent about the recent increases in price (by the way even with the increase it was still an amazing value!). My mind was even more at ease when I saw an “Auntie” walk to the kitchen to prepare the order. My wife and I got the house special along with an order of egg rolls. The egg rolls were crispy and the dipping sauce was homemade and reminded me of home. Great start! Not too long after we were greeted with steaming bowls of beefy goodness. The beef was thinly sliced and the broth held the color of what could only be flavor. I like to have my first bites as the chef intended (no condiments yet) and was not disappointed. The broth was flavorful and was genuinely the best bowl of Pho I’ve had aside from home in Seattle. I legitimately had a ‘Ratatouille’ moment- drifting off into a memory from my childhood of enjoying a bowl of Pho with my family next to a donut shop on a rainy Seattle day. The restaurant is clean and cozy with the humility of a family owned restaurant. It was so good that we also ordered vermicelli (a cold noodle dish) to go and it was tasty as well. Highly recommend for the noodle soup craving and the foodie looking for a great cultural home style eat. Thanks Minh and family, we’ll be back again soon!
