Nga's (pronounced ""Naws"") is no great shakes in the looks department, but the caring Vietnamese owners make you feel right at home, and the price is right. Hip couples drop by...
Looks like it's been that way for some time.
I love this place! When Mai's burned down I was looking for a new local place. I asked a friend and he pointed me towards NGA and I have not been disappointed. It is not fancy but everything I have had ate there has been so good. It is my boyfriends favorite Pho. I love the rice plates #69 is my fave. The wonton soup is so yummy and the small is so huge it has about 8 or 10 wontons! See ya there!
From the outside, Nga doesn't look like much, but the food they serve does not comply with the meager exterior. The only thing meager about the menu is the pricing, which is absurdly low for food of this caliber.
The appetizers are all excellent, but do yourself a favor and order the Vietnamese rolls/Imperial rolls. Whenever I am in this part of town, I always look for an excuse to stop by Nga and pick up an order. On many an occasion, I have stopped in for a quick afternoon snack of these sublime treats.

Pho Nga offers the most consistently great Vietnamese food around. I have tried almost everything on their extensive menu. I have yet to find something that is not nicely prepared and tasty.

Sometimes it's a Saigon Day .. sometimes its a Nga Day. Nga has a sweeter broth. Their Vietnamese egg rolls are also a winner - although I don't know that I've met a Vietnamese egg roll I didn't like yet.
I really like Nga - honestly, really, truly - but I have yet to get out in under 45 min ... 30 of which is spent waiting to place my order and waiting for my check. They also don't let you use a credit card unless it's over $10. Boo. But I come back loyally for my sweet pho. And usually fewer crowds than Siagon.
Pros
+ Sweet pho, parking
Cons
- Service, Credit Card policy
