Cool space and hot pho. Pho was on the pricey side but very good. I appreciated that the condiment plate included both cilantro and basil although I could have used a more generous helping of bean sprouts. Loved that the sauce rack had undiluted fish sauce. Fast, friendly service.

This might very well be my new favorite restaurant in town. It is authentic, delicious, and affordable. We look forward trying everything on the menu, excellent cocktails and smoothies! Great place for a business lunch, date night, or just to grab a drink and an appetizer. Des Moines definitely needs more spots like this in town.
