“Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want.

Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot.

We need to come back again to give it a second try.“

A little more expensive than the options you'll find in Chinatown but I save so much more time and money going here coming from Pomona that this is my new go-to for dim-sum in a pinch.“

At first I thought maybe they forgot the pork, but it's in there, it's just camouflaged by the noodles which are the same color. I planned on eating a bit of this in my car and then heading home but it didn't last 5 minutes once I started eating.“

“Great food and selection, at an amazing price!
You can’t beat this place in terms of quality & value. More of a “hole in the wall” place, but also a nostalgic retro throwback to the “good old days”, when you can still purchase a decent Pho Noodle soup and/or a Banh-Mi meal (with a boba milk-tea or coffee drink) for a reasonable price; reminiscent of the pre-covid, pre-inflation and (sadly) pre-governmental tariffs of the current peculiar times.“
