“Great food, the best in town. I have been eating here for over 25 year, probably one of their original customers as I worked near by.“

“Always have great food“

“Always outstanding! I come here often as it’s close to my house!“

“We have been coming here for years and our experience has always been wonderful. To start with, when you arrive, you are seated immediately. Menus have many delicious options for Vietnamese food, and one thing I personally recommend is the #50. Portions here are large and we are satisfied every time we come here. Their ambiance here is okay and though this place can feel old and rundown at certain times.

In addition, along with the normal sodas, they have a few shakes though last time I went recently they didn’t have boba. Service here is great and usually doesn’t take long though employees can be a bit hard to understand sometimes due to their accents. Prices here are pretty reasonable, especially with the portions you get and restrooms, while not the cleanest, are fine.“

“My family and I like to support our local businesses and we were coming from a service for a loved one who passed.
We got wonderful service . Food was very tasty, flavorful and delicious. The young lady at the counter took our order, was polite and very welcoming.
We will be back. What a lil gem:)“

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.“

“never been disappointed with the food here ! everything always tastes delicious and prices are good. amd the customer service is always friendly and awesome! my #1 go to place for some delicious Mexican food !“

“Great place we stumbled onto at 2:30 in afternoon as restaurant we drove here for was closed between lunch & dinner.
Staff is extremely wonderful 8n many ways. For example, I saw one go out of the way running outside to take a personal item someone left at their table.
We had the veggie sandwich with iced tea & pulled pork with a tap beer.
All tasted great, in fact, the veggie sandwich is the tastiest I've ever had. The pulled pork is also fantastic.
The FRIES ARE SUPER & so good do NOT put anything on them, so tasty as is!“

“This review is about the Pinot only. I'm not a wino, but it's really good! Right when you think it might be too sweet or jammy, it hits you with a subdued flavor that smoothens it out to the finish. Definitely taking a few bottles home.“

“Every single time I go to this restaurant, the food is excellent! Ana is the best server! My family and extended family love, love, love everything we have tried. My current favorite is Hunan Beef. The Singapore Rice Noodles are great, eggplant, every variation of rock cod, Peking pork… They can vary any dish to your liking. The lunches are a good deal, enough food for two meals for me. However, going with my family and getting a variety of dishes is what we like the best. Usually there are six to eight of us and we get to eat all of our favorites.“

“The pizza here is like no other in town. Immediately you taste the fresh ingredients. I bought a combination large pizza and I can't wait to go back for more. This is by far the best in town check them out you won't be disappointed“

“The red curry with chicken - the BEST!“

“I love this place!! Butternut Squash Ravioli is amazing 😍“

“We’ve been coming here for many years and have always been satisfied. Their bagels are hot and fresh every time with my favorite being the “sunrise” on cinnamon or a strawberry bagel. They also sell boba and they have a vending machine for other drinks. Service is friendly, fast, and hardworking and prices are good. Seating inside is only a couple tables with another couple outside, so I recommend that takeout is much more prudent, especially for larger groups.“

“I got the birra torta here and two tacos al pastor. The tacos were good but the torta was surprisingly delicious upon first bite due to the quality of the birria. The overall taste profile at this location is balanced and deep, meaning it is well-seasoned and flavorful without being excessive or greasy. It is food that can be eaten every day without feeling overloaded. It is also at a very nice location next to a park and lots of trees.

I randomly met the owner one day prior at an unrelated place, and I can see that there is a reason he confidently invited me to try his food, where his lovely wife operates the business and cooking! It is because he knows he can deliver a great food experience! Through word of mouth, I know that I am not the only one who liked the torta here.

There is quite an extensive menu, and I will definitely be back to try more items. I highly recommend the birria. Overall a great spot!“

“pizza was really good . ran into a bunch of friends when I went there. I went there twice definitely going back“

“If you have children, and don't mind noise, a lot of noise, you might like Angelina's. A LOT of kids teams were also there which is nice, but when there is already excess noise, it makes it tough. It was so loud my husband and I had to lean across the table and almost shout to hear eachother. Food was ok, not good enough to make a special trip for. Service...about 80% self serve, and had to chase down someone if we ever needed anything.“

“me encantó, el lugar muy agradable y la atención ni se diga y el barril ni se diga👍“

“Taking a road trip up the coast and I finally got to stop here and eat/drink after enjoying some of their beers at home. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious, service in the beer garden was great, and as always the beer was on point. Had the Paloma Pizzazz which is good if you like grapefruit and their guest beer the Muddlin Forte was sooo good. The only negative was they were out of all their large t-shirts so I'll just have to go shopping online. Hope to be in the area again soon to try some more things.“

“The best brisket and pork ribs I ever had!!!“

“Really good food including their fried rice, chow fun, shrimp balls, Peking duck and more. Portions are large too and as for seating, it’s ample. Service is kind and fast and the interior of the place has a lot of art and some Eastern design though can sometimes feel dirty or old. There’s also a big TV which plays a variety of content. Restrooms are okay and prices are reasonable, considering portions also.“

“First time me and my husband went to try this restaurant. We were beyond pleasantly happy with what we had and everything was perfect service, food, ambience. definitely recommend it to anyone“

“This is just a great place, and a huge part of our neighborhood. Good food, drinks and atmosphere. Love it!“
