If you order ice water, make sure you request it by writing it down on the paper you fill out for the rest of your order...otherwise you may have to go without.
Delicious...well-priced...generous portioned soups and noodle dishes!!!

Be warned: if you're going to check these guys out, you better see their track record on Dine Safe:

BS, I eat here weekly along with 6 of my co workers. It's cheap delicious food.

So, Mike, this is your argument:
(1) Mike hasn't gotten sick at Pho Asia
(2) David has gotten sick at Pho Asia
(3) Therefore, no one gets sick at Pho Asia

So just b/c you, Mike, haven't gotten sick, you're saying that anyone who has is lying? LOL. Your reasoning skills are poor.

i love Asia 21! one of the best value restaurants around. you could probably feed a family of 3 with some of their single serving dishes.

however, i'm sorry to see that it doesn't have the best Dinesafe track record. maybe that one commentator got the runs because he put too much siracha sauce on his food. who knows?

all i can say is that my workmates and I have eaten there (dine-in and take-out) countless times and nobody's ever been sick.

my recommendation = order #316. definitely worth the risk.

ps. commentor david is a dork

mike & dragon are douchebags--either that or they work for pho asia.

man, the place was closed down by public health!!! next time, doubters, if someone says they've gotten food poisoning from eating at a restaurant (in the case me), then don't be so dismissive.

i'm glad they were shut down. you can bet i'll never eat there again and will also warn all my friends.

closed down? really?

i just got take-out from there Monday night (Dec 14th), and it was delicious and non-poisony as usual.

and by the way, david, let's not get into name calling. i only called you a dork because of your dorky bullet points. no need to retaliate with sexist insults.

i don't work for Asia 21, and i will go back.

A message to all dorks and douchebags: I liked Asia Pho 21, I ate there several dozen times - but that place is a disgusting rats nest begging for apocalypse. If the owner doesn't care enough to maintain a bare minimum of hygiene then he deserves to get his ass shut down.

Don't fret, theres a better Pho place just west of there.

I've eaten there literally hundreds of times over the last 5 years. Consistent and good.

I've NEVER been sick from it, and never gotten a dish that even upset my stomach at all or seemed "off"

I highly recommend it.

I have eaten here several times. Delisious Pho and yummy Spring Rolls. However, if you are really that turned off by them, there is a new Thai place in Liberty Village called Saigon Bistro. Very clean, reasonably priced, fast service, delicious food.

But really, there's no need for name calling! You could get food poisoning from just about any restaurant. It's all relative kids!

Don't give tips if you eat at this place because the owners ( husband & Wife) are very greedy. They have taken all tips which are supposed to give to servers because all servers have just been immigrant at a short period of time or/and don't know English and Law.I feel bad for all of servers who have been bullied.
