Everything 1 star. I ordered a $13 grilled pork Bahn Mi, came with iceberg lettuce, cilantro, one piece of cucumber and stingy amount of dry pork. I have tried a lot of Vietnamese sandwiches and usually they put meat in the bun and top it off with vegetables but at this restaurant they put iceberg lettuce and top it off with meat. For the amount that you are paying $13, you don’t even deserve a bag. No pickled daikon or carrots or jalapeño and tiny bit of mayonnaise. Also, very bad service. The lady is so rude, almost seems like she doesn’t
even want to talk to me.

Lucky's "Combo" Vietnamese sandwich $13 was disappointing. It is missing key banh mi ingredients like carrots and daikon. Instead, there was yellowing iceberg lettuce. Where are the pieces of cha lua (pork roll?) The little thin sandwich itself tasted OK but will leave you hungry and a sense of buyer's remorse. It took about 10+ minutes for the clerk to make my sandwich. There was one customer before me at 3pm on a Sunday.

The boba here is not the best. It was soft, but flavorless and crumbly. Thai milk tea at 100% was hardly sweet. These were medium size and 6 bucks. 5/10, okay but not worth it for the price especially with Sweet Cupz right across the street.

8/10 Egg and bacon croissant. Was made fresh. Soft croissant, gooey cheese, stays warm a while and decent size. 10 bucks.

Lady was kind, would come again but not for boba. Feb 28, 2024

Had a very good grilled pork banh mi here. Pork was tender and flavorful and the bread was tender with a crisp edge (but didn’t rip the top of my mouth). Pricey and a bit small at $13.

The Vietnamese Coffee was way too sweet, the service was not good at all. The person working the counter didn’t smile or greet me; I felt incredibly unwelcome there. I bought food from outside only to be told that I wasn’t allowed food from outside. Do you have a sign up somewhere? I am never coming back.

Edit on 6/13/2023 at around 4:45 pm: I just got kicked out by the lady working the counter because she was leaving! This place was supposed to close at 6:00 pm, what is going on?

The boba is incredibly disgusting and the owner was really rude, really regret wasting my money here, there’s way better boba places on Ocean where they’re polite, do yourself a favor and about this place.

Bad (expensive) latte and cash only. I haven’t tried anything else, but I didn’t have a good experience.

The Vietnamese coffee was terrible. I said not very sweet, and it was disgustingly sweet, evidently to mask the bad coffee. I had a few sips and ended up throwing it away, wasteful.I had ordered two drinks and she didn’t even make the second one. I asked where my second drink was and she said I only ordered the one, I had paid cash, so I didn’t argue and just left.Bad service and terrible coffee.
