Someone else here said that this is the best Asian food in Marin and after the food we ate I can say with 100% certainty that this is true. Not that Marin is some paragon of authentic Asian food but I would hold this up against anything in the wider Bay Area. Menu is simple, presentations are simple, but the attention to detail and nuanced flavors impress. The pho broth was delicate and aromatic, maybe the best I’ve ever had. The rest of the soup was layer upon layer of incredible textures and flavors that made a humble bowl of pho into a masterpiece. The chicken wings were unbelievably rich in flavor and with a perfect cook on them. The beef ribs captivated, a perfectly balanced comfort dish. And the banh mi. My god. You’ve literally never eaten a banh mi in your life. You may think you did, but you didn’t. This one may change that. The pale palates of Marin drove them to drop the pate option, which is a shame because it’s the only way this could have been any better. Until I found this place, I had given up hope of ever finding halfway decent Vietnamese food in Marin. We have been blessed with this place, so get it while the getting is good.

Unbelievably good beef rib Pho, honestly some of the best tasting broth I've had! Awesome hospitality in a hole in the wall vibe. Highly recommend a trip for some tasty food.

Don’t let the lack of ambience fool you. Best pho in Marin, for sure! I’m mad at myself for taking so long to come in here. This place deserves to be way busier, I’ll be back more regularly to get my pho fix !
