Good find, very friendly restaurant and very good dishes! I highly recommend. Served by the waitress Mint, she is very jovial and professional ! Belgian tourists wish you a good appetite ;)

They take res via Yelp, FYI! We did a walk in for a party of 2 at 3pm on a rainy day and it was pretty empty. I had to wait for my friend and was allowed to sit and wait for her at our table. Staff here is very attentive and friendly.
The Pho here is more so like Northern pho, with the fatter vermicelli noodles. I enjoyed my Beef Pho and the broth was good. I was asked if I wanted fresh noodles or not, which was a question I was never asked at other viet spots...

seriously awesome shaking beef plate but rice not included and pho kinda lacked richness. make sure you tell em u want the homemade noodles if you want em. otherwise it'll default to packaged thin noodles
really nice location next to dumbo waterfronts
