Mai no longer runs this establishment, but the food and drinks are still stellar. Friendly employees. Clean and simple space. Reasonable prices. Always a lovely spot to stop for a bite and sip. V and GF friendly.

Me and my partner are common regulars of this place, I personally have been going here for about 15 years with my family, always fantastic. I'm very glad I still get to eat here.

Second time eating here, this place is great and very considerate when packing cold/hot food. Overall the quality was amazing the Kimchi, Pho and Bhan Mi are great as well as the chicken katsu and spring rolls and I can't wait to try the rest of their food.
