This place was so lovely. The staff are amazing, fun and they are super knowledgeable on how to veganize certain items. The prices are very reasonable too.

I had a noodle bowl from the special menu. I can not remember what it was called, but it was phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant. The owner was so nice and very accommodating.

The place is clean. Food is really good. We would eat here more but the service is bad. The last time was terrible. We were the only people in the place and barely saw our server. There was a problem with the sodas. Three people from the staff ignored our claims that they tasted weird. They just had us take cans. When I asked the server if we were right he said that he didn't drink soda. Apparently neither does anyone. So why are you serving it? We've never seen a manager. No one checked in. We almost finished eating before the server came back. (Remember we are the only table) too lackadaisical.

The restaurant has a good Vietnamese - Chinese vibe. Fresh and clean. I'm Vietnamese, try Vietnamese foods, so I will give a feedback based on my opinion.
We had Vietnamese Papaya Salad (8/10): they mixed the sauce with the salad in advance and give us extra sauce in case we want to add more, they should let the salad and sauce seat for few minutes before serving, cause the papaya was still hard and did not mix well with the sauce when serving. I had bún bò Huế (5/10) and my husband has Vietnamese Beef BBQ (7/10). Bún bò Huế but not the real bún bò Huế, they should not use stir fried/BBQ beef for this dish, it needs bắp bò, 2 small pieces of Vietnamese sausages (chả lụa), missing lemon grass and mắm ruốc flavor, ít should have (no need too much) to bring the flavor for the soup because they are the main ingredient for this soup, they use small noodle instead of thick noodle. We also ordered Vietnamese ice coffee, but it was Vietnamese instant coffee, not the real one. Their price is expensive compared to the food and service. We spent $70 for 3 dishes and 2 drinks. The food is not worth the price. You can give it a try if you want some experience, but I'm not recommended.

Not authentic, caters to what Americans think Vietnamese food is, and lacks flavor in almost all the dishes I’ve tried. I gave this place a few chances over the past year and it’s been such a disappointing experience each time. Not worth the price at all!

Needed a place to get a late meal and read good things about this restaurant. It was okay. Hot and quick. Pretty good flavors.

The food was good overall. I didn’t like the texture of the tofu, personally, as it seems like it was frozen and then thawed and cooked, which creates a kind of sponges/porous texture, which some people like it isn’t my preference.

The veggie spring rolls were very good. Next time I’ll try the egg banh mi instead of the tofu one.

Portion size isn't the greatest given the price unless you are getting soup. Was able to finish my banh mi in about 5 minutes and wasn't very full. The "side" is some sprigs of cilantro and a slice of an orange. The side of lettuce and sprouts were pink tinted which showed they were old. We did not eat that. Mediocre dining experience. The drinks up front are good but probably wouldn't be back due to portions and lack of fresh ingredients. My banh mi was fresh but the lettuce/sprout combo was off putting. Everything should be edible that is served. 4.9 stars is far fetched, I would take it with a grain of salt. Possibly paid for/many family and friends.

A tad overpriced but good Vietnamese food. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Only had one server in the whole place. He did great but they should give him more support. Pad thai and rice pudding with durian were both vegan and delicious.

Vegetarian options: Items that can be made vegan are labeled as such.

Our server Neveah was beyond AMAZING! From welcoming us in, to her friendly smile ? and being on top of her serving game! #prostatus Now, let's get to the food!! Shhhhooooeeeeyyyyyy!!! I would drive ? here from Minnesota JUST for this again!!!
I had the CURRY FRIED RICE /CHICKEN!! and OMGLLLOBBB it was drool worthy! My husband had the *SPECIAL* Mi QUANG NOODLE DISH, when he got done eating, he said "Is it a compliment to the chef ?‍??‍?if I luck the bottom of the bowl?" ? Now you know that's some GOOD food!!

The atmosphere is welcoming and bright. Music is fun and upbeat, dance worthy!!
