I had the best bún chay I’ve had in a long time. Vermicelli noodle dish which has been my go to dish for some time. It felt fresher and just a step above many I’ve had. Our server was also super sweet. More people should give this place a chance!

Delicious food, great people, my new fave
Not the best or friendliest service (hence the four stars), but come for the self-wrapping spring rolls, one of the few places to offer it in Chicago. Pick your protein of choice and they bring out mise en place the rice paper, veggies, and amazing sauces. Highly recommend especially if you're new to Vietnamese cuisine, and want to make your own spring rolls!
