Such a great place. The owner's are so nice and helpful. The restaurant and bathrooms are super clean. I ordered Bun Bo Hue with a short rib. It was the best ever. The dish of vegetables was very fresh and huge. They have sauces and garlic on the tables. I will be going back.
Took me in when they didn’t have to. I was sick and needed pho. Great people and great service.
Good foods and a fantastic vibe for Vietnameses
! The pho and fried rice were both on point. They have live entertainment on the weekends—a one-man band and karaoke—which gets everyone up and dancing. It’s a cozy, intimate spot that's perfect for celebrating special occasions. Just be sure to reserve a table in advance if you want prime seating!
