Mint leaf is one of my favorites on the island. I’ve tried a couple of meals from the pho to the bahn mi and rice plates and everything was really good. Staff are always super nice and helpful.

Pho and imperial rolls were super good! Just wish they would give more basil and jalapeños to begin with. But highly recommend the marinated chicken for the chicken pho and the number 21

I visited this place a couple of times here during my visit to our west coast offices at the Marina Village Parkway. I am no expert on Vietnamese food but the dishes I had were very tasty. I had the Pad Thai and Vegetable medley and was very satisfied by both. I had fresh spring rolls which were very good and the Thai ice tea was great too.

Always great to be eating here for Vietnamese cuisine. If it is cold, we get Pho. On a regular day our go-to dish is the shaken beef for me and fish and chips for my son.

Great flavors all around. The reason for a star deduction is pork chops were off the shoulder end and not a center cut so there were a lot of little bones and cartilage, also they were extremely thin for a dish that’s over 14 dollars a plate. It was seasoned nicely though. Also I never understood why you have to order rice on the side. Who is eating just a pork chop with no rice? Secondly the firecracker chicken was quite a letdown compared to the rest of the meal. Over cooked, mushy and not a good flavor. The Vietnamese restaurant caters more to the average American who probably wouldn’t be excited to eat pork blood/tripe/and tendons because it’s been ommited for a nontraditional crowd. Despite that though the flavors are there.

The fresh rolls here are divine. The vegitaian one are probably my favorite but the ones with crispy fried shrimp (summer rolls) are also heavenly. The staff is always super friendly and do forget the fried bananas for dessert!
