Pretty pricey little Vietnamese cafe but the food was good. Portion is okay (expected more for the price). The ambience is not very nice because they are limiting seating due to Covid.

The food and staff were very nice!! However the price is no where close to what it should be! One bowl of shrimp soup plus 2 beers ended up being ~50$ plus tip! I hope the owners consider lowering the price or increasing the portion!

Everything was super fresh and delicious. The shrimp summer roll was excellent and the seafood udon noodle soup was super light and perfectly flavored. The tapioca banana pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste but overall this place is a gem. They are fairly priced and the service is super friendly and welcoming. Would definitely be coming back.

Hands down the best Vietnamese food in the world. I’ve went here for years, family run business and everything made from scratch, even the spring rolls which is an al most non-existent practice, seeing that other Vietnamese restaurants sell you frozen rolls. Trust me, you have to go here about 10 times to try all of thier amazing dishes. Also have an amazing top shelf bar, where the owner is an expert mixologist, so just tell them what you like and they will mix up something great!

Our friends raved about this place and it’s one of their regular visit places. I could not have loved the food more. The food was amazing! I had the mango salad which was so refreshing and the sauce it was tossed with was so tasty. I ordered the Asian vegetable soup for entree (had the chicken broth) which was very tasty. The waiter was very patient and friendly. They accommodated few changes to the dishes too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try healthier and tasty food.

I’ve been going to this place since I was a kid in the 90’s – it’s my favorite restaurant. Everything is so good, the best spring rolls, satae chicken! I live in LA now and nothing comes close – always visit when I come back to the east coast

The food was pretty good. Limited seating as of late as they focus more on takeouts. Price just a tad bit out of my range to make it my go to, relatively speaking.

This place is fanatics, broth color doesn’t matter, different places have lighter or darker broth depending on the recipe. Can’t imagine having the audacity to tell another cultures cuisine that their making it wrong, really wild to me. Flavor wise it’s a perfect balance of minty, beefy and it’s very aromatic and fresh! The know what they’re doing phosho!
