I ordered the banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe) and the #9 pho. Both dishes were delicious and offered at a very reasonable price!

The broth is delicious and there’s plenty of meat. The outdoor seating area is lovely. The extra large portion is enormous!

Quick, cheap and good. Can't complain too much, they even have beers! You can also pay with your card! That's a plus!
