Service is good and they are staffed up for lunch time. My dry style hu tieu with the tomato/fish/shrimp sarsa was insane. Chased with a thoughtful sidebroth of gio, and finished with a crisp sugacane juice. Under $25, given the sugarcane juice is damn well $10 (well worth it.) But either item is worth a visit at Hai Yen. Can't wait to try their mam this weekend... or just more of what I just had.!

Located right off the red line ,(however, the red line appeared under construction). Took a while to find but paid for street parking.

The interior is inviting with comfortable chairs. The menu had some usual Vietnamese options and some unique ones that I haven’t tried before.

We tried the self wrap, beef ( the first one on that list ). The waiter suggested we also get the vermicelli, which was a good suggestion too. as recommended from...

Buried in the middle of the famous Argyle block, this place may not jump out against newer and shinier establishments nearby, but there is a good reason this place has lasted a long time. The broth for beef pho is just as good as others, which is a reason enough to eat here. But add good service, liquor license, and consistently fresh ingredients and you have a great place for take out.
