Tea Light Café

Nestled near the crossroads of Scottsdale and the 101, right next to the cinema, Tea Light Cafe has been a local gem since its inception in 2006. Its proximity to my house and the flurry of positive Google reviews it has garnered over the years finally piqued my curiosity enough to pay it a visit. As I stepped into the cafe today, possibly as their first customer of the day, I was eager to document my pho adventure for my gastronomic journal. The cozy warmth of the pho booth instantly enveloped me, offering a welcoming embrace that promised a good meal ahead. I opted for the chicken pho, intrigued by its unique accompaniment of lemon juice for dipping—a first in my extensive pho experiences. The generous portion did not disappoint, making every bite as comforting as it was flavorful. For anyone finding themselves in the area perhaps after catching a movie, I highly recommend stopping by Tea Light Cafe to indulge in their delightful offerings.

Absolutely love Tea Light Cafe! The Pork Chops are amazing and the pho always hits the spot. Definitely a great place for dinner and lunch Plus the food is inexpensive and delicious. Can't go wrong!

I love the Vermicelli Noodle Bowls and this one was every bit as good as the best Vietnamese food I've had. I especially loved the egg rolls in the bowl....yummy!

If you know what REAL Pho is, do yourself a favor and skip this place. Only 2 words I can think of to describe the soup here is " Forgettable", and "Americanized". Bummer.

Lived in AZ for 10 years and have been away for 2. Flew in to visit family and this was top of our list to visit. Hands down best Vietnamese in all of Arizona. I recommend this to everyone who visits and locals alike.
