Wasn’t expecting much when coming in but this place really disappointed. The food lacked flavor and it wasn’t very authentic. They don’t even give you thail basil and mung beans. The food is just ok. There’s much better places out there
Ordered the rare beef, beef brisket, beef meatball combo pho and it was ok. Didn't have Thai basil and bean sprouts on the side like I was expecting. Large bowl was filling but the beef didn't have a lot of flavor and the noodles were overcooked and mushy.
One of my favorite restaurants to go to when I feel like eating Hainanese Chicken. As usual, the service is amazing since we frequently go there. I usually order the boneless Hainanese Chicken, while mother order’s Chicken Noodle Soup (small), her favorite because it comes in wide noodles and Honey orders his Beef Bowl Soup (large). We also order appetizers: like the Butter Tofu, and the Pork Spring Roll. These are also very good.
