Here is this restaurant, delicious soup! The brpth was so on point. there was no need to add any more sauce it was perfect. The eggrolls definitely taste really good, unlike some restaurants just filled with vegetables. Anyway, 61 and 11 will be my fave! Highly recommended and will be one of the regular!

“ Went there yesterday for the first time. Ordered Oxtail Pho and filet mignon fried rice. Both were very delicious. The Pho was amazing, it was not as salty as other Pho restaurants and the filet mignon fried rice was one of the best I had. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely go back. ”
“ The food here is very good. I ordered a regular size shrimp pho, spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, and some egg rolls and OMG the food was amazing. Very tasty. The portions are great and they even offer a large size pho for those of you that can handle a large size bowl. I mean, the regular size that I ordered was large enough but the large size is big. Perhaps next time Ill order a large size because it was just that good. ”
“ Really liked the food and ambience. Felt welcomed and peaceful. Bought beef lomein, garlic noodles with tofu, green tea, inhouse lemonade, and egg rolls. Loved the inhouse lemonade which soothed my hunger, and egg rolls as a starter went really well into my taste buds. The lomein was really good, except for the high MSG content everything was perfect. ”
“ Best pho and fried rice in town. So yummy, so tasty, and the flavor is rich. The vibe is chill. The environment is clean and well decorated with all the amazing art canvas. We ordered rare steak and meatball pho, chicken fried rice and butter garlic chicken wings as appetizer. All of them are wonderful and the portion is large. And dont forget to order the Iced Thai tea. definitely come back soon to try other dishes. ”
“ The food here was really good. We went for lunch and ordered Vegan pho and edamame. The pho was really delicious and so were the edamame beans. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the service is quick. Will definitely go again. I highly recommend this place. ”
