Just an ordinary authentic Vietnam restaurant. Their pho is incredible and the crispy rice noodles are good. However, the quail was very under seasoned and bland. No flavor at all. Also, 3 pieces of ice in the water even though the building is so hot and the water isn’t already cold. When we asked for ice, she brought 1 small kid cup of ice. Then we asked again, and she gave 1 again even though there is a lot of people with iceless water cups at the table.
They also do not have spring rolls which is disappointing and a first. Never seen a Vietnamese restaurant without spring rolls.

The most impressive and best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve gone to. I’m not Vietnamese, but have been exposed to a lot of Vietnamese food. I’ve tried their Pho, Mi Kho, Bun Rieu (special), Mi Bo Kho (special), and Bun Thit Nuong (this dish includes nem nuong and egg rolls). None of the dishes have been bad. Their prices are a little higher than others but the portions make up for it. I try to make it here weekly with the wife.
Though a bit pretentious, I’ve heard a few patrons at other tables (during different visits) compare this restaurant to some of the best Viet food in California. Give this place a try!

Went here for lunch and had a great experience! I ordered the crispy fried egg noodles — they were absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. The portion was generous and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving tasty Vietnamese food without breaking the bank!

As a native New Yorker, who is also Vietnamese, one can imagine my surprise to find that the BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT ever is in... Michigan. (My other fave in NYC is Madame Vo- check it out :)) But genuinely impressed and blown away by how unassuming this place is! An intimate place that doesn't feel rushed or loud or frenzied as any super-casual Vietnamese spots do. This place feels welcome. Nice vibe. Nice decor. Even the menu itself is nice. It says something about the owners when they pay attention to the entire experience. THEN THE FOOD ARRIVED. I got the grilled pork chops with rice topped with over-easy eggs that you drizzle the dipping sauce over- DELISH! My brother got the Hu Tieu Kho ... not a soup, but sautéed noodles with incredible flavor- a MUST TRY. And these maps came with a small bowl of onion/garlic soup? Everything was magnificent.. and each meal was just $15 each! If you've been to one Vietnamese restaurant, you've been to them all... but not this one. WOW. Well done, cant wait to return to try more of the menu!!

Soo good! The service was fast and the food was fresh, hot, and authentic! Tried the chicken fried rice, beef pho and egg rolls. My husband ate the pho before I could take a picture, but it was his first time trying it and he said it was so flavorful and comforting. Very generous portions and the price was on point. We had enough for leftovers for two more nights. We will definitely be back!! We also got the Vietnamese coffee which was strong and sweet and delicious.

Fried chicken wings in fish sauce is delicious!!! I used to try their goat meat hot pot, bún mắm, mì vịt tiềm and it taste very authentic and delicious also. I haven't had a chance to try the other dish but definitely will try another one! If you guys have allergy, don't be a jerk and ask the owner or the waiter the detail about the dish. They are very lovely!

The menu is confusing. We ordered no. 29. Combination Fried Rice. It is next to a photo of fried rice and chicken. We were expecting the one in the photo. When it was served, it has shrimp and pork in fried rice. The person ordered it doesn't eat shrimp and pork at all. We talked to the manager who is also the server, we explained that none of us eat shrimp and pork. She said, we have to pay for it because we ordered it. I tried to explain our reasoning. She said, she doesn't mind if none if us eat it, we still need to pay for it. Because they already cooked it. So we paid for it and ordered the one in the picture. We are a group of 5 adults and 2 kids. I feel disappointed with that kind of service. I and my family will never go back to this restaurant. I lost faith, and the taste of all the food went dull. Not in our lifetime. So please when you order, you have to ask first what food you are ordering, so you won't get surprised.
