I absolutely love this restaurant! They have my favorite pho and beef stew and veggie soup. The ingredients are always fresh and the soup is hot and ready to eat right away. I will always eat here! I order to go and my food is still hot and ready. The Thai Tea is sweet and delicious as well. This place was super helpful when I was sick and wanted soup, very comforting.

I love every time I come here, they never forget a face! They know my order whether it’s been weeks or even months since I got a chance to come here. The food is always hot and delicious…And the Vietnamese Espresso coffee? Sorry folks, but this is really the BEST of the best. Comes out the same every time!
