We got some beef pho, a banh mi, and the fried chicken and rice plate. The pho broth was savory and not too sweet, which is just how I like it. The beef was good quality, as were the herbs and veggies that go into the soup. The banh mi was in the top 5 or 10 I've ever had, with surprisingly good meat and pate. The fried egg on top was icing on the cake. Haven't eaten the fried chicken plate yet, but it looks awesome and I can't wait for dinner now!

I ordered the beef stew with bread and was very impressed. The stew was full of flavor and the bread had a perfect crisp exterior with a soft and fluffy interior. The staff were attentive and provided great service throughout my visit.

The food was delicious, but there were some items on the menu that were unavailable. It would have been nice to be able to enjoy a smoothie. read more The food was delicious, but there were some items on the menu that were unavailable. It would have been nice to be able to enjoy a smoothie.

I ordered cha gio, which is supposed to be served with fish sauce, but what I received tasted like frozen Chinese fast food with sweet and sour sauce packets. I am giving 4 stars instead of 3 because I don't want to leave a negative review just based on one dish. The eggrolls were definitely not worth it.
