Authentic Central Vietnamese cuisine. VERY TASTY and lots of varieties of appetizers, noodles and rice dishes. Though the restaurant decor is not fancy, the food quality makes it all up. True, only one waiter, but this is a small Mom & Pop business, which we love to support in our community. We ordered noodles, papaya salad and appetizers, and finished ALL. 😁 We'll be back for more!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The most disappointing Vietnamese meal I’ve ever had — and the worst service to match. I wasn’t planning to write a review, but this meal was so bad I can’t forget it. We arrived early in the morning, the place was empty, yet the food looked like leftovers about to be thrown away. The bean sprouts were short and broken, and the portions were so small it felt like they didn’t even plan to open for business that day. As for the service, it was just as terrible. The man working there — maybe the owner, maybe a waiter — acted like serving us was beneath him. His tone was impatient and dismissive. When it came time to pay, I still left a $5 tip, even though I really didn’t want to. This review is 100% honest and unforgettable — for all the wrong reasons. My friend and I will never be back.

Really enjoyed the pho and the owner recommended the passion fruit chicken which was yummy. We also got various Hue rice cake items to-go. Their shrimp banh nam is my favorite! Location is very clean. Small parking lot with plenty of street parking.
