“Even if the interior needs a lot of work, the food doesn't. The roast pork is divine! So crispy on the outside and juicy and tasty on the inside. Dip it into the hoisen sauce, and it's perfect. I couldn't try the char sui because they ran out the day I went (late). I will try it next time with the roast duck. It's $21.99/lb for the roast pig. It's well worth it. I also got the eggplant shezwan style, dry string beans, salt & pepper rock cod fish fleet, and clams with black bean sauce. All of it was superb, not too salty, as a lot of Chinese food can be. This is my new go-to Chinese BBQ place from now on!“

“I love this place. I've been going since I was a little kid (that was 20+ years ago). The staff and service is always so friendly and attentive. I love their Bún Chả Giò Chay. It's my regular order! They have a solid selection of Vegan Vietnamese food and very affordable prices. If you're looking for real Vietnamese Vegan food, this is the spot!“

“I ate here for the first time. I can’t believe I had never tried it! I’m not as much of a fish person, so I got the Torta Asada. It was incredible! The guacamole blended perfectly with the marinade to make a savory creamy complement to the asada. Throw a little lime that’s provided in there and it’s to die for. This will be a new craving!“

“Went in today for a Sunday lunch to go! The toasted sesame seeds burst with flavor when I took a bite of the Milanesa torta. This sandwich paired well with an ice cold modelo. Service was great and there is a small wait mostly because everything is made fresh to order. After todays visit their isn’t really a reason to return to Tito’s. Hours vary on the weekend’s so check the times before heading out. We will be returning for their chilaquiles because they looked pretty amazing. There isn’t any seating as this small gem is located inside a gas station convenience store, it’s worth a try and the time. ? weekdays they open as early as 6am and they do Uber eats. ?“

“Nice little outdoor restaurant, with live music on weekends. The food is limited" but ok overall. I believe people come here more for the atmosphere, the music and have a drink to get distracted a while. Musicians are not all great all the time. And prices for food are a bit high fro what you get. The carnitas are good, not the best.... But they cut them up to finely, not as enjoyable. Staff is ok, they don't check up on you often, so try to order everything the first time or they do take long to come back around. Over all ok place.“

“I met my friend here for lunch, and we had a great time! The staff was very welcoming and kind. I had the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had a burrito. We both loved our meals...so good. The speed of service was great, and the portions were generous (and very affordable). The atmosphere was calm and casual, not too crowded. I especially liked the salsa. It had a good flavor and heat, but no unpleasant afterburn. It was a delightful experience overall, and I would recommend giving it a try!“

Beef Pho

“I have been Vietnam and had Pho from the north and the south. Vietnam is a long country and occupies the east coast of Southern Asia. Northern pho known as pho “bac” which translates to north. It’s more simple there, just beef soup with the essential 5 spice seasoning and tender sliced beef with fresh ginger. Southern pho has the “dac biet” which translates to special. Southern pho is packed with sliced beef rounds, and a variety of parts from the cow. This includes tripe, tendon, brisket, and beef balls, no fresh ginger. Portions in Vietnam are much smaller than the states and cost almost half.Pho Hai has both, the Pho Bac and the Pho Dac Biet. But, what makes it even more special is they have sliced Kobe beef as an add on to their pho. OMG! Their Kobe is thick sliced, just enough marbling and just melts in my mouth.The bowls are enormous and can actually feed 2 person. It’s loaded with lots of meat, almost every bite has meat and noodles. They serve their pho with fresh Basil, herbs, bean sprouts, fresh cut jalapeño and slice of lemon.The heart of a good Pho is the base of their soup, they use beef bones cooked for hours to extract all the beefy flavor of the broth.When consuming pho, the first thing I do is to take a spoon and taste the broth before I go in for the kill. This is when you know you will enjoy the rest of your meal Or you know you will have dry mouth later from all the MSG. Many pho establishments skimp on using a lot of beef bones for the soup. Instead, they use MSG-mono sodium glutamate as a cheat. I never had a bad experience with Pho Hai, their soup is always on point.They have a few secret items that is not on their menu, my favorite is the beef bone with beef marrow. This item is only available after 2pm and on a limited basis. It comes in a giant plate with a knife and fork, lots of meat and tendon is still stuck on the bone. The bonus is the bone marrow, it’s rich and savory. Also provide is a home made roasted chili sauce, dip the tendon or meat in and life is great.“

“Friendly and quick service. They've got a huge selection of Vietnamese cuisine like broken rice, pho, vermicelli, etc. Free drinks too with a couple selections. I like their broken rice the most and their steamed tiny rice stick thing with egg rolls. To me the egg rolls are great, they may look smaller than a typical stuffed egg roll, but something about it makes me enjoy theirs the most. My family and I have been coming here since forever. I like staring at their fish in the aquarium.“
