I got the Bahn mi, pork fried rice and vegetable egg rolls. It was enough for 2 meals and the price was really good especially for the quality of food you get. Will definitely be returning.

This place is FILTHY!!!
Tables looked like they hadn't been wiped in days.
The condiments on the tables absolutely haven't been wiped clean in months!
There was old dried up sauces dripping and oozing out of the bottle necks. Some condiments didn't even have lids on them!
While waiting for my meal I attempted to open and taste the ONE bottle that did have a lid ...AND IT EXPLODED ALL OVER ME, MY PURSE, THE MENU AND THE TABLE!!!
(Im pretty positive I know what that means)

The server offered no assistance whatsoever even tho I was the only diner.
I should have left at that moment.

I ordered the SPECIAL BUM vermicelli with pork and shrimp. The shrimp was fresh and nicely grilled and the veggies were fresh.

Adversely, the 2 types of pork were definitely hanging around a bit too long, cooked to a second death I surmised. It was chewy and tough like beef jerkey smashed on a kabob stick and the other style pork looked like little hard, pork meatballs, both were overwhelmed with garlic and onion and had an unappetizing odor. Not edible. I had to give them back.

Looking back, I was a bit apprehensive about traveling unaccompanied the address of the eatery, but based on the reviews I checked out before my visit, It sounded like it was a busy, popular eatery and might be worth the adventure.

I WAS DEF WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS.

Quite possibly the weirdest food I’ve experienced at a Viet restaurant.

I ordered to go, the spring rolls and grilled pork rolls were a good deal and 2 rolls for 5.00 but the sauce was watered down.

The house special pho broth had a red color to it almost like Khao Poon, really different tasting too but I was able to spruce it up to make it edible.

The Banh Mi ingredients were good but it was served on a sub roll you would find in your grocery store bread aisle.

Lemongrass chicken was a dry version, but the sauce cup like a pork chop platter gets saved it.

It hit the spot but the bread was off putting, but for 5.00 I smashed it.
