The Tara’s Kitchen in Lake Brandon Plaza is amazing! I’ve been to so many places to try their pho, but this one has by far been the best! The flavors were amazing in all of the dishes we had, and the options on the menu were really great! Even the food that I was unsure about (fried quail) ended up tasting amazing. Our server Mak was super friendly, and actually really funny; making jokes and making us feel comfortable as we ate. He was so quick to get us what we needed. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place!
I had an excellent experience at this pho restaurant. The broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it had been simmered for hours, while the noodles were perfectly cooked and the portions were generous. The fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime added the perfect touch to the dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and offered great value for the quality of food. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious pho.

I am honestly shocked this place has such good reviews. We tried a little bit of everything and I wish we would have skipped this meal. Pho was sooo greasy and salty. Service was horrible and slow and we weren’t even there during dinner hour. The dining room floor was filthy, which makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Pass on this one.

Angie, Kevin, and Mack were amazing. There was a mix up in menu pricing and communication but they were super sweet and considerate. This pregnant lady is so thankful for the service and good food!!
Ordered to go and was disappointed. I specifically asked for no tripe and no tendon, but the pho had a lot of both. I also asked for chili paste, but didn’t receive it. In addition, my order was missing the usual sides - bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime. Unfortunately, the pho itself wasn’t very good either. Overall, not a great experience and for $20+ not worth it.
