“We decided to try this place on a Sunday for brunch. We arrived around 10am, and we're promptly seated at a small table by the window. The decor has a French bistro vibe, which we thought was very cute and cozy. The seating is limited as the space is rather small, which lends to the cozy quaint atmosphere. There was a large table next to us that had a party of people trickling from the time we entered around 10am till the time we left around 11am, so we ordered as quickly as we could before their table ordered, so that our meals wouldn't get stuck behind a large order. Despite that, our food did take a bit longer than expected to come out, which we understood, as they're a rather new restaurant still getting into the swing of things. My husband ordered a hot coffee, which came out on a nice tray and beautiful glass set-up with sugar on the side. He said the coffee was delicious and smooth. They brought out a courtesy tray with sliced baguette along with a small dish of butter & sugar and one with condensed milk. It was a pleasant treat & surprise. We ordered their spring rolls to start with. It came with two large perfectly wrapped rolls that hit the spot, as we were really hungry. The sauce was on point and amazingly good! Doesn't matter how good the rolls are unless the sauce is done right. They didn't dissapoint. We got the Vietnamese Fish Cake Udon, which my husband enjoyed, especially with the delicious dipping sauce and side of fresh herbs/veggies it came with. The broth was pretty basic and wasn't as flavorful as we had hopped it to be. The delicous sauce it came with definitely made up for it though. We also orderd the Bo Ne (sizzling beef), which came with a fresh salad, a small baguette and soy sauce for dipping. The Bo Ne was a generous portion of beef, however, it didn't have the rich flavorful gravy that this dish is usually known for having. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly, but lacked flavor. The soy sauce for dipping made a big difference. The two sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly with runny yolks with crispy whites. The pate was very bland and the texture was rather strange. The best way I can describe it is it was like whipped airy flavorless meat. I didn't finish the pate, which is unusual for me, as I love the taste & texture of pate when made well. The meatball was enjoyable with good flavor though, which was the best part of this dish when it comes to flavor. We enjoyed the experience, and look forward to returning to try their Bun Bo Hue and other comfort food dishes. Service was courteous, professional and polite. The window seals, floors and overall was clean. There is ample parking in this plaza. We love to support small local businesses, so we hope they have a long and successful future. They are clearly a local favorite, as there was a line forming as we ate. You should give them a try too!”
