Average, at best. The fried rice was bland and the shrimp in it was dry. The BBQ pork in the rolls was mostly fat and the dipping sauce looked like a curdled peanut sauce but had decent flavor. The garlic noodles I paid $7 extra to add to my rice were missing. This place didn't make a good first impression and I won't be back. The empty dining room I was greeted by upon pickup may have been an early tip.

This may sound inaccurate but I can assure you that it's not. Pho Cao has the absolute best chicken wings in the state. Yes. You're eyes are working perfectly 👌 I did say State! You gotta try em!

Sunday evening. Live music. Service dog-friendly. Best dive bar vibe, that is, unpretentious, clean tables and restrooms, diffused lighting, pool table, and flawless Vietnamese fare! Best pho we've had in a long time! And, if you prefer classic American Chinese dishes like fried rice, you'll get the best freshly prepared version. Recommend for any big city transplants that miss both that corner bar night out and the near endless variety of the best urban heterogeneity...
