Overpriced for portion size ( 18$ for a bánh mi) and not what I expected from a Vietnamese restaurant . However the service was good, manager was very accomodating despite the wait and other minor details. Atmosphere was very cool.

Fantastic Bhan Mi! The pork was packed with juicy flavor and complimented the other fresh toppings really well. Plenty of protein in their house special Pho with a savory broth. Would love to go back to try some of their other dishes. Love the old timey retro atmosphere/theme they have going!
February 2025
We had a fairly pleasant experience, for our first visit.
It was a rocky start, as our waiter did not return to take our food order, after we were only ready to order drinks on their first visit. We had to ask the waiter if she could return to take our order, after turning her back to us.

Besides that, the rest of the service was great, with friendly and helpful staff. This location is a quant place, with a hip feel.

We really enjoyed...
