That's what divides the ordinary with the best. Then add rare beef & chicken with udon noodles, a bit of hot sauce, bean sprouts & basil leaf for a delicious heartwarming & nutritious meal.

Recently under new management we have it another try. Not bad but definitely not as good as previously. Still worth a visit but not something i look forward to every week.

The food was good, fresh. I was very disappointed to have peanuts when I wrote in the specific space online for ''special requests'' that we had ''peanuts allergies''!!! I ordered a 'pork & noodles meal' for my allergic kid and a 'shrimps & rice meal' for me. 30 minutes later, delivery-man is at the door and said .. oups I just noticed the note about peanuts and we sprinkled peanuts on the pork meal..!! He offered to go back and get it redone without peanuts! But we already waited 30 minutes and he was going to add another 30-40 minutes wait. I said no we will switch meal. How unpleasant to eat pork and noodles when you have a taste for shrimps and rice. And all the care and stress for having to eat the peanut meal making sure not contaminating anything in the kitchen. This is unfortunately not a safe place for peanuts allergies people. I thought it was expensive for what was in the boxes, 2 meals $32.

I ordered the Mini Fish Patties and Tomato Soup Bun Cha Ca expecting a light dish with tomato soup. To my surprise, it was more savory than I anticipated, with chili in the soup and the "mini fish patties" actually being fried fish fillet.
