We started with Crab Rangoon and Golden Tofu for appetizers, both of which were simple but absolutely delicious. For our main courses, we tried the NG House Noodles with chicken and the Evil Jungle Curry, both bursting with amazing flavors. I was truly impressed by the variety of dishes and desserts on the menu. And the price was fantastic: for just $50.00, we enjoyed 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 2 soups, a mango cheesecake, and Korean sweet buttercream bread. I highly recommend this place. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the owners who prepare everything fresh. Absolutely amazing!

However, when I returned this past Sunday, I was disappointed to find that the banh mi was just okay. The mayo was barely noticeable, and there was way too much butter, which was literally dripping out of the sandwich. I believe mayo pairs perfectly with the vegetables, and after having such a fantastic experience the first time, I felt let down. Seeing the size of the sandwich made me decide to add a slice of mango cheesecake, thinking I would need more to satisfy my hunger—and honestly, I couldn't resist. The cheesecake was delicious, but $5 for a small slice seems a bit pricey. I might give the banh mi another chance in the future, hoping that my last experience was just an anomaly.

It's conveniently located near my workplace, but I had never stopped by before. Once I found out that they make their own bread and tofu, I couldn't resist trying a tofu banh mi. I was blown away by how delicious my meal was. The tofu was incredibly fresh, lightly fried, and full of black pepper—just the way I like it. The bread had a fantastic crust and a nice chewy texture. And the mango sticky rice? It was simply perfect: rich, slightly savory, and just the right amount of sweetness, accompanied by a generous slice of ripe mango. I will definitely be returning to sample more of their offerings! The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely as well, so next time, I think I’ll dine in instead of taking my meal to go.
