A sweet Vietnamese eatery for dine in or take away. Good food and beer. We ordered tamarind wings, summer rolls with tofu and vegetables sides with Lao beer.

Vegetarian options: Available
Good service and atmosphere, but I was a little underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the bun bo hue but I think the kitchen might have forgotten to add spice to it (as you can see in the picture, there's no chili or red at all) and there was no spicy taste to it. The onions were a little thick/raw and I was also surprised that the bun bo hue and pho are served with lemon, not lime.
Went for lunch and had the Pho Bo. Beef was appropriately rare and they use broader noodles that don't stick in a giant blob. Broth was very rich and flavorful. The menu also had a good amount of banh mi selections and Vietnamese appetizers. No Hanoi style bun cha, though!

The place is pretty informal, with limited seating. I suspect they have a wait later in the day for the dinner hour. Prices were average for the area, so not notably cheap but also...
