This is a nice little cozy place that serves really tasty and hot meals. We had a few dietary requirements and the server listened to all of them patiently and provided us with options. The food was really tasty, glad we made it there for dinner. Will definitely return if we are in the area again. Highly recommended!

I loved the Pho Tai I ordered. I added extra tai and made it spicy. I skipped bean sprouts but if you choose it comes with them also. Good spice to it, but not overpowering.

The Thai tea was one of the best I've had. Strong flavor.
