The waiters are very rude. It is a couple who run the business and they barely know any english. My friend ordered alcohol and they kept asking him for his ID even though he is 22 and showed a state ID. The first time she took his IDinside and came back a minute later. We had the veg spring rolls which were okay and left.

The only way to get a refund is to bring the food back to them, which is incredibly frustrating. Their phone staff is rude and even hangs up on you repeatedly. Honestly, it’s just not worth the hassle to dine here when there are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants nearby.

It was served with a small portion of rice and a mix of fresh, crunchy vegetables that were lightly seasoned with oil and salt. The tofu was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was fast. I would definitely return to explore more items on the menu!

I've been eager to visit this restaurant for quite some time, so I decided to stop by today. However, I found it completely empty. I tried calling multiple times but didn’t get any response, so I assumed they were just busy. Today is Wednesday, and I drove all the way here only to discover that they are definitely closed. It's currently 5:14 p.m., which feels quite strange. I hope everything is okay, as this situation seems unusual.
