This place is great! It's my first time stopping in and there are never many cars in the parking lot, but I really hope to see this place thrive.The vibe and atmosphere is great, the food is really good and my overall experience was perfect. I typically order a dry vermicelli noodle bowl and it met my expectations.I will be back!The only thing I would change is the music. It was a bit loud and it was mostly hip hop/r&b and was explicit at times, but I can get over that. Good food!

Food is always great when I eat here! I LOVE the aesthetic at this restaurant, it’s my favorite part of the restaurant. Customer service is good but I feel like the servers could tend a bit more to the table.

Bread was too tough on Banh mi.Fried rice was decent.Barely any eggs though.Beef short ribs flavor was decent ,but they don't give you enough. Hue Bo was ok.Lacking spice level I was anticipating.They dont offer any chili oil,sriracha or hosin for delivery orders.

UPDATE: As promised, I came with my family to eat at the restaurant. A few things:1. The space is very large and comfortably lit. Some people in other reviews complained the 'cavernous space' prevents the 'aesthetic vision' from coming together and this is the biggest load of pretentious hogwash I've seen yet. The space is great. In fact my only complaint is other customers being loud and obnoxious, through no fault of the restaurant, and the space makes it bearable.2. Fishballs are made of fish paste. I felt everyone should know this. My sister ordered the seafood udon soup and the fishballs are premium. A lot of other reviews don't seem to have any experience with authentic Asian food much less Vietnamese food and that lack of experience or appreciation really unfairly discolors this restaurant. For example, if you're complaining your food is "bland" make yourself aware that the cultural expectation is for you to season your food to taste. This is commonly the case for all Southeast Asian cuisine and why all those condiments are on your table or in your bag.3. The service is stellar. We were visited regularly by the waiters but not excessively. They were polite and respectful, overall very patient. Can't imagine why their service gets such low ratings except, again, maybe some cultural disparity in expectations of what waitstaff is there for. Your food comes as it's prepared and it's prepared as you order it. Not everything is going to come out simultaneously because not everything takes the same amount of time to prepare. Your food will be piping hot and fresh and then your server shouldn't be interrupting you every five minutes and probably won't until a certain amount of time has elapsed or your plates are empty and put aside. These are good things, not bad ones.Essentially, if you LIKE Vietnamese food or want to experience GREAT Vietnamese food and not hyper-Americanized food, this place is great.The food is amazing, fresh, delicious, and authentic. Almost every condiment you could want is available and anything else you could ask for (We're Thai and we like to add sugar, garlic oil, and fish sauce to our foods), you can *ask for*. The quantities are extremely generous.This will EASILY be our go-to as long as the quality remains as it is.We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 Pink Lychee drinks, and 3 different soups. All spectacular. The seafood especially the crab was super generous and the oxtail in the house special was sinfully tender.Past Review:I got this as delivery but I plan to go eat at the restaurant sometime this weekend and will update accordingly.I am not super picky but I've eaten a *lot* of Vietnamese home cooking and at restaurants in and around BR. Even given that my food arrived piping hot (but I only got a chance to eat it when it was cold because I was lazy and busy feeding my child) let me just say this was the *best* pho and fresh spring rolls I have probably ever eaten in any restaurant.The portions were fantastic. Everything was fresh. Sides were mindfully included and consistent, including condiments. I ended up so stuffed on pho that I saved the spring rolls for upwards of 8 hours and NOT ONLY had they not fallen apart, but they weren't hard. They were just delicious, on their own, untouched.I hope the quality remains consistent and the restaurant experience is equally good, but even my delivery experience was stellar.Also it wasn't super cheap but the pricing was about par or less than other Vietnamese cuisine for the amount and the delivery.

Don't let the humble exterior for you it's quite Grand on the inside and the food is also just as grand. I visited around Christmas so it was done up for the holidays with a huge tree in the middle and even a mistletoe kissing spot toward the entrance I found that absolutely charming. The prices weren't that bad either and the food was delicious.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday night. Found myself looking for the waitress more than a few times. Ordered combo plate and chicken pho, spring rolls and edemame. Food was good. Music playing was nice and restaurant was beautifully decorated.

This might be one of the cutest little places in town. I love the little neon signs signs and the "greenery." I'm not sure if the ceiling lights that are draped on/over the ceiling are there for the holidays or if they are always up, but I love the Christmas tree in the center of the restaurant. As I read somewhere, it's definitely an Instagram-pic-worthy restaurant. The service was good. Our server was reserved and polite but attentive. The food was REALLY good. I went with a friend and we shared the garlic edamame. If you like garlic and if you like edamame, this is it. If you don't like garlic, you will want to steer clear of this. It had a slight kick but not too much for me and I'm sensitive to too much spice. We also shared the wings and they might be some of the best fried wings I've had, maybe ever. I would get them again, maybe every time. For the entree, I got the lemongrass chicken vermicelli. It was fresh and I really enjoyed all of the flavors of basil and lemongrass and peanuts. Let me not forget to mention that the portions are huge! Go hungry or prepare to bring food to go. I look forward to going back with the family and trying some other things! I'll get a pic or two as well. :-)

This definitely is a cool ambience with the neon decor in overhead lighting brings in a modern look we were definitely drawn back by the type of seats that were in the Tucktaway room. They definitely should Have a weight capacity sign up. Our server was very distant but yet very knowledgeable. They seem very spaced out at times I would suggest that they train their service to pay more attention to detail. I had to request multiple times for a drink refill, and we were actually one of three couples that were in the place so they weren’t busy. Not sure why it seemed this way for them. but overall it didn’t make us want to walk out.
