Bit pricey, but hella worth it. Some of the best pho i have ever had. They bring food to u nd clear tables. It is always quiet inside with peaceful music. My once a quarter treat fs. Wings are fire

It looks like a fast food joint, but the food is consistently quite good. I especially like the bahn mi sandwich and the fruit smoothies, but the spring rolls and honestly everything else we've tried is solid. I recommend getting it to-go, but great fresh food for a reasonable price.

We were passing through, headed North. My granddaughter and husband wanted Pho. I ordered the garlic grilled chicken. My husband ordered the beef Pho and my granddaughter the chicken Pho. The food was delicious! My chicken came with sautéed vegetables. Never have I had such deliciously sautéed vegetables. My husband said that the beef pho was one of the best that he has ever hand. Upon finishing our meal, I was attracted to a news article on the wall. The article is a big write up on the Chef. The chef whom we personally met and who cooked our meals was also the chef to President Clinton and George W. Bush. For two years he worked as a chef at the White House. He was a very cordial and humble man. It was of my utmost pleasure to meet him! The restaurant was very clean and the service was right on. I highly recommend it.

Honestly, the pho here is solid. It's definitely not worth $18 but considering it's the only pho place around for 3 hours any way I accept that price. If you're looking for something to just hit the spot, you'll find it here. But it's nothing impressive

First time checking this place out and was surprisingly impressed. The flavor of their chicken broth was really good. If you're craving some pho this place will definitely satisfy.

I've been here a couple of times. The first time I had the fried tofu and pho. I wasn't impressed with these two items and didn't think I would come back. I'm glad I gave them a second chance. Today I ordered the shaken beef, garlic, fried rice, and chicken egg rolls. The ordering process was very easy, and the gentleman who helped me was extremely friendly impatient. The food arrived in less than seven minutes... Yes, it was that quick! The chicken eggrolls, come in an order of three, we're very crispy and light. The dipping sauce was sweet and a little bit spicy. I definitely recommend the eggrolls! Now onto the shaken beef... Plenty of tender beef, and perfectly grilled vegetables (a medley of broccoli, squash, carrots, onions). As other yelpers have said, the sauce is seasoned perfectly. Now my favorite part of tonight's meal, hands-down, was the garlic fried rice. The rice is extremely fluffy and white, with the perfect amount of seasoning and bits of delicious garlic. I absolutely love the garlic fried rice. Definitely recommend, I will return and please support your local businesses!

We are from the San Francisco Bay Area where we have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. Visiting granddaughter at SLO and took her out for lunch and she chose At Bites. The staff is friendly and the place was clean and comfortable. A little like a fast food atmosphere; order at the register and then grab a seat and they bring the food to your table. It's sort of a Vietnamese with Asian fusion. We ordered Beef Pho, Deep Fried Chicken and Vietnamese Grilled Pork over rice. The Fried Chicken had 5 pieces of chicken and was delicious. The Vietnamese Grilled Pork was also very good. Beef Pho was average. Food portions were huge, very tasty, but a bit pricey! For the three orders the tab came out to $70! Overall the food and atmosphere is good.

Everything always goes well from service, to atmosphere and food. Food! Delicious, fresh, hot, outstanding. Menu is authentic. The owner, head chef, is seasoned and professional. He was the executive chef in the White House. San Luis Obispo is very fortunate to have a family restaurant that caters to all diverse tastes in Asian cuisine.
