It's calling card outside is the green sign out front with the bright white lettering. It was fairly empty when I got there with four other people. Our order was taken quickly, with a smile from the woman server (didn't catch her name). Our appetizers and entrees arrived quickly and we were happily surprised. The portions were huge! If you are ever in Albany and craving Vietnamese food, this is the spot! The wait staff is quick and friendly. The food is really authentic. The interior is a bit outdated, but who cares?! there's giant bowls of pho, among other great dishes, waiting for you.

The pho is incredible, with a rich and flavorful broth. The Com/Bún Bo Nióng beef dish with peanuts is another must-try, packed with fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. If you're craving authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go!
