“Great spot for a hot bowl of Pho. It comes fast and steaming hot. The broth is amazing prefect not too salty and perfectly balanced. You get perfect portions and a healthy amount of meat, definitely recommend giving it a try. Basic menu on weekdays, special items available during the weekends. Ask for extra fresh veggies and herbs if you like extra.“

Place is hard to find. It is at the back of the building. There are no parking but there is some visitor and street parking if you can snatch one.

“I love the food here. Lots of options. The main server/owner is super nice and polite and and always wants you to be happy. Now, the new selection of bubbles teas are to die for🧋🧋 and way better priced than most Buble tea places.
Now, for food... They are Vietnamese, so the Thai food here is not as good as in a real Thai restaurant. The the Vietnamese is good.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Vietnamese restaurant, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food is as authentic as it gets –traditional flavors that transported me straight to Vietnam. From the perfectly balanced pho to the fresh and vibrant spring rolls, you can tell each dish is made with care and pride. Love the rolls, peanut sauce is fire

The service was equally impressive. The staff are attentive, warm, and make you feel genuinely welcome. What stood out the most was the owner himself, Jimmy!– easily one of the kindest and most attentive hosts and owners

Overall, this place is a true gem. Exceptional food, top-notch service, and a welcoming, clean environment – all led by an owner who clearly cares deeply about his guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the best authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Thanks Jimmy I’ll be back!“
