I went there today with friends and the food wasn’t that good it was overpriced and they didn’t even tell us about extra charges. They either took 18% gratuity if you don’t pay tip and if you pay too little a tip then they add a card fee, neither of which they will inform you about. They charged for chili oil and didn’t even tell us until we got the bill. Usually Vietnamese places will either give chili oil for free, if not atleast we’re told it’s a charge. I felt scammed going here and would not recommend to anyone.

Sept 2025. Do not order from here!!! I made the mistake of only reading the top few reviews and thought the food would be good.
I received rancid, expired, from lidl and/or food that is clearly heated from frozen. I couldn't eat a single item out of my expensive order. When ordering for delivery, the flan depicts a professional photo of homemade flan. What I received lidl brand flan that expired over a month ago. None of the food in my order was safe for consumption and ended up being tossed. Complete waste of money.

I had to wait for a two-person table to become available, and it appeared that the restaurant may have been somewhat understaffed, as the 2 servers seemed understandably stressed and had to return to several tables to confirm orders. Some tables weren’t served in the order they arrived. Service was not entirely consistent, some tables, including mine, had to flag down the server both to place orders and later to request the check.I ordered the brisket pho, which took longer to arrive than expected compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, and the beer was unfortunately hot. After my meal, I ordered mochi, which was listed on the menu. The waiter mentioned he needed to confirm whether it was still available. Soon after, the waitress came by to drop off the check, but I let her know I was still waiting on dessert. The waiter returned several times without any update, and after about seven minutes, I followed up, only then was I informed that the kitchen was out of mochi. That being said, this is not entirely atypical, as Vietnamese restaurants are often known more for their delicious food than for polished service. Once the food arrived, it was excellent. Despite the slower service and inconveniences, the quality of the food made the experience worthwhile.

It was horrible, my friend got a cockroach in her food. Very bad experience.
Overpriced but mediocre pho.
Ordered pork bun, got chicken bun instead.
Looks like bibigo frozen chicken dumplings,
Tastes just like it too.
If that is the case, i’m kinda disappointed considering how big their dim sum menu is.
If that is not the case then the quality is very questionable.
Lastly the matcha w/ boba tasted very light and the texture of the boba was subpar, kinda like those made from a DIY boba kit.
Idk maybe i had too much expectation.

1st visit was the Roast Beef Bahn Mi, the next day Pho with brisket, meatballs, tendon & tripe! Out of this world! Had a Thai Tea (I think) and it was great to cool down after!! 5 stars everyday!

Had been here before and liked it so I’m not sure what happened tonight with service. I waited for 15 minutes in an almost empty restaurant and watched everyone else including three take out orders order at the front (and get their food) before I could even ask for a water. I asked the waiter if I could order and he just walked past me. Called it quits then.

Worst Viet restaurant. The waitress does not understand english, the food was bad and thing are expensive. Requested for chilli, got frozen chilli oil. The fried rice is garbage food. The rice are stick together like some glue and taste horrible. The seat give was bad with messy tables at the side. Please don ever eat or order from here.

It was good! I don't get the bad reviews. Lady serving us was pleasant. Food was good. We had fried crabmeat rice and the meatball Pho. Prices where what I would expect for the area.
Also I noticed a lot of Asian locals eating here so just going off that I just wonder if the bad reviews are mainly out of towners who aren't Asian.
We would eat here again if we.wanted Pho.

We were not greeted by the waitress, and no water was brought in our table until we asked. It took a long time to get the food ready, and the worst of all, the dim sum was heated from frozen. Do not eat there!

Not a Vietnamese restaurant. More of an overpriced Chinese restaurant. Very disappointed. I’ve never been to a Viet place that also served Dim Sum?!? Dim Sum menu was bigger than Pho offerings. The Pho broth was very bland, not good at all. Skimped on my veggies, skimped on the meat. The noodles cut in half. They were IN Chinatown, or at least in the block where all the Asian restaurants were.
