The food was really good! The area surrounding the restaurant was under construction, and there weren't too many customers when we went. But these guys deserve the 5 stars, the food and service were great. I got a pork banmi, and it was super yummy.

I totally forgot to take a picture because I was so focused on eating, but the shrimp spring rolls had a dipping sauce that was different and better than other restaurants.Also, the shrimp pho soup had a different color broth(little red color), but the flavor was rich and deep, which I really loved.The food comes out in just 10 minutes, so if you're really hungry, you should definitely check it out.

Do not judge a book by its cover! The parking lot reconstruction masks a hidden gem. This seems like a popular pickup place, but we chose to dine in and we were the only customers sitting. Met the owners who were very kind.

The real magic is the broth. This is one of the cleanest, more memorable broths we have had. A very slight hint of sweetness. All three of the items we ordered were great.
