Surprisingly strong showing from a tough location. The lemongrass ribeye salad delivered, tender, sweet slices of beef balanced by crisp, pickled vegetables with just the right hit of acidity. Solid textures and a well-balanced meat-to-veg ratio made this a satisfying dish. The setting’s forgettable, but the food’s worth a return trip.

The Spicy Chicken Banh Mi w/ Spicy Mayo was excellent and very flavorful, bread was the perfect banh mi crunch. I stopped by shortly before they were closing for a quick togo order, I don’t live or work in the area, but will likely make another stop to get the same sandwich.

This is a clean, fresh, new restaurant with excellent choices and great food. We came in at noontime on Saturday and ordered right away. The food took a little longer to prepare than I expected but it was worth the wait. Lemongrass beef bowl was big and very tasty. Highly recommend.
