First time here, ordered the satay beef noodle soup, it was delicious! The broth was soooo good. I would say best in the city. For those not used to Asian cooking at home, you may find it oily but for the flavour, it's worth it!

Ordered the saté beef pho for takeout. The broth was delicious! I prefer raw thin beef in the soup over the thin precooked beef provided but the broth was so tasty it didn’t matter.

My kid made Vietnamese subs in foods last week. She loved it. She wanted to try another one. I saw this restaurant today and took her there to order her the sub she wanted. She ordered a grilled chicken sub and she loved every bite. Will definitely be coming back for more!!
