Spectacular food and lovely service. I judge Vietnamese restaurants by their Pho and this is one of the three best I've ever had in America and Europe. Marvelous broth, full of depth and nuanced flavor. Don't love the meatballs, even though they are traditional, but also had great thin cut beef. Would suggest having options to have the meatballs or not, or add tendon. Then had mini pancakes with shrimp, Banh Khot, which I had been looking for for years. These were much better...read full review
The flavor of the spices in the dishes was so exquisite that I was completely captivated while eating.🥰
Pho was excellent, very beefy and rich. Also had the braised pork belly, ginger chicken and shrimp spring rolls - all very satisfying, generous portions and perfectly seasoned. Service was quick and responsive. Definitely recommended.

Customers praise the outstanding food, with favorites including the ginger chicken, fried rice, and the wings, which are noted to be the best in the bay. The service is attentive, and the overall experience is a great addition to the neighborhood.
The restaurant has a warm, cozy vibe with a fully decorated tree on a rotating stand. The food is tasty, made with fresh ingredients. The vermicelli bowls offer a choice of protein, including two grilled shrimp and an egg roll. The service is friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The menu features a Sizzling Brisket, which is best mixed right away to prevent the rice from sticking to the stone bowl. Customers can also enjoy a Grilled Beef Bánh Mì, which is crispy and flavorful. The bread for the bánh mì is soft and crisp, with a perfect ratio of paté, cold cuts, and pickled veggies. The Thai Tea remains a popular choice, available hot or cold, with the option to add boba. The staff are helpful, and there is a small parking lot outside.
