I recently visited Vietopia on a Sunday around noon. As we ate, customers filtered in--it is obviously a popular spot. Although bustling, we didn't have an issue getting a table. The vegan pho (HTC noodle soup) was surprisingly flavorful. The portion was huge! My friend, who is not vegan, ordered similarly and was satisfied. For those with food restrictions, the menu clearly indicates what is gluten free and what is vegan. I also ordered the lime tea, which was refreshing and similar to lemonade. Before tax and tip my bill totalled less than $20. The price seemed very reasonable as I left with over half of my soup in a to go container due to the generous portion.

Hi, I love this place and ive probably eaten here 20times the past 4months. I would give this place 5 stars maybe 2 months ago i think when the prices was $3.50 less than your number 1 competitor And it justified it as you are serving less meat and your using not the huy fong food sriracha ( which is if your a pho lover is the only sriracha) Now you have raised the price as the same as your competitor. But they are beating you in terms of serving size and sriracha which makes a world of difference.

Fantastic & authentic cuisine! I brought my Vietnamese friends here from New Orleans and they really enjoyed it! They were especially appreciative that the owner is Vietnamese and could speak in their native language together. The ingredients were fresh and the food was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this little treasure and I believe my friends do too!

Stopped in for some pho and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they serve Bun Bo Hue in the weekend. The broth was flavorful and just spicy enough to create a delicious warmth, much meat variety and quantity and yummy noodles. The staff is caring and friendly, much parking, great prices

This place is amazing!! Their beef stew pho is the best I’ve ever eaten!! The meat was very tender and the portion size generous. I’m a truck driver and I’ve had it almost everywhere! Sometimes it’s hard to find a Vietnamese restaurant that serves it. I also had the shrimp wraps and they were delicious. The spring shrimp rolls are bomb too! I’m very picky about my pho and I was so happy with this place. The service was impeccable. It’s clean as well. Definitely take a chance on this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.
