“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“I did pickup this time. I ordered the night before for lunch special the next day I was thinking of Thai food and wanted to visit my local Thai restaurant. It was presented properly as requested with great prices! It was ready at the time I requested despite looking kinda busy in the kitchen. Will definitely order online or eat in the restaurant great atmosphere and plenty of parking.“

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.“

“If you’re looking for a cozy atmosphere and excellent food, look no further. The service here is super friendly and helpful, but the real highlight is the menu. I highly recommend the steak tartare, and definitely try the 'Wagyu experience'—order the American followed by the Japanese cut to really appreciate the distinct textures. It's a delicious study in contrasts! Be sure to book a table in advance!“

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.“

“The best ramen you will ever eat anywhere. Great service. Great prices. Worth the wait.“

“The food is delicious I’ll be back for more love their panang curry 😋“

“The Pumpkin Curry with Shrimp was wonderful! 😋“

I posted this as a reply or add on to KimPham's review, just as another perspective. I was there when it happened.
Yes it was the server's fault to forget to put in the order for the table but they only had 2 servers running when suddenly many tables came in. One thing is the other server came to explained didn't yell at her. SHE was the one who YELLED at him and slammed the table when he did explain the situation gently and said the food was coming out right away if she would just give it another 2-3 minutes. She refused it and left. It was about 10-15 minutes for the time she had to wait until they realized the order wasn't put in.
At the end, she was right to be upset since the server didn't put in the order, but she was the one to yell and slam the table and then claimed it was the other employee who came to explain the situation that he yelled at her lol“
