Chao had a good selection of Vietnamese dishes to a very affordable price , and is definitely a place a student...like myself would visit again to get a nice dinner on a low budget. They also had very exiting deserts, like mochi and black rice with yogurt, which was a nice change from your average vanilla ice cream. Despite some mess ups with our order (which the waiter was very honestly apologetic about) I would definitely return!

Unfortunately we were pretty disappointed with the meal the food was not awful but pretty boring. Especially the Pho being served without the requisite...fresh herbs on the side made it fairly flavorless, basically just a giant bowl of plain rice noodles in an unremarkable chicken broth. They have a nice long list of non alcoholic fruit drinks and shakes, which were probably our favorite part, and the restaurant itself is a little bit nicer looking than the thousands of other mediocre Vietnamese places in the city, but since this area is full of great restaurants we certainly won't be coming back for the very average food here.
