Great service, the pho broth goes hard with springy wide noodles, and the vermicelli bowls are light with wonderfully charred protein. There are solid drinks as well - both of their lemonades are great
Very delicious and one of the CLEAN restaurant in this bay area !!!! Store is extreme clean and food made in good ingredient ???????? And the portion is quite Huge ! They also have patio seat option so you can feel freely have food without worry from covid too! Must try fried chicken! It’s great!
This is fairly a new restaurant with simple dishes but it’s so delightful with innovative flares and tastes. The price is very reasonable and quite an inviting place. My FAVORITE would be Bún Cá( Salmon soup)with vermicelli, fresh dill soaked with tamarind sauce in the broth. It’s heavenly on a cold night. Why do I like it so much??? The broth has a bit of sweetness, full of tamarind flavor, not so salty... you can actually savor the broth itself. Best of all, this is one of the soups that is clean and free of oil on the surface especially you’ll get big chunks of Salmon in your bowl. I like the tasty & tangie grilled pork belly with bao. The tea selections that they have there are one of the kinds.
