Had a very unpleasant experience here and will not be returning. I placed an online order for 1 appetizer, 1 Banh Mi, 4 entrees, and 2 drinks. I arrived to the restaurant 30 minutes after ordering, and had to wait an additional 30 minutes for everything to be ready. Not really sure why it took an entire hour when it was completely dead inside with only 2 tables occupied.Anyway, the disappointment continued when I got home. The Banh Mi had FOUR small pieces of pork on it, and similarly the Bun Thit Nuong hardly had any meat. The shrimp appetizer also had no shrimp visible. Tasted like it was smothered with mayonnaise and a little bit of imitation crab. $16 for this appetizer with no actual shrimp detected and most definitely did not resemble the photo on their website (Facebook).The Pho was just okay - definitely not worth returning for. The only good things were the drinks (coffee). I really wanted to like this place and after spending nearly $150 here I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the food and service I received.In addition to all of the above, their online ordering system is not good. When ordering the pork Banh Mi, I was forced to add an egg to it for an extra $2.50. A SINGLE egg for $2.50?! Same thing happened with the Fried Rice. Forced to add egg for an additional cost.By the time I got home the food was cold already…I only live a few minutes away. After taking an hour I would have at least expected something fresh and hot but that wasn’t the case. What I received was not what I was expecting based on the pictures on their website. So unhappy with this place and can’t believe I wasted my money here.

Food was great. Chicken wings were fantastic. Owner is very nice, Dion, he stopped by and talked with us. Durian coffee was nice and strong as well! Had a nice open concept on the inside.

Vietnamese coffee with cheese foam is definitely one of the best in Seattle-greater area. We love the chicken roti rice; marinade very flavorful. Fried rice Flour cake (bot chien) and Bo La Lot are also yummy! Love the atmosphere and staff is super friendly.
I enjoyed every single bite, the service here was amazing, the interior was excellent, but most importantly the food. The food was amazing, very authentic! The coffee was perfect, it hits every spot! If you’re looking to try Authentic Vietnamese food I definitely recommend this place!

Food was okay. More broth than noodles and the value is absolutely dismal for a $20 bowl. Inattentive staff had me asking for service more than once (although they were nice). Coffee was too sweet, had 3/4 of the cup filled with ice. The shrimp baguette came with imitation crab with no shrimp to be seen. Didn’t want to bother with complaining. The big new sign that says they changed their name should have been a big indication that something was going to be amiss. As much as I’d like to support local businesses, it’s hard not to pass on this one.

Absolutely worthy for dinner dish? I got two of Roti Chicken dishes for me and other friends. We are all in love with this dish and definitely come back to try Pan Bread. Roti chicken dishes are always a hit, especially with that crispy and flavorful chicken. ☺️

Me and a friend got lunch here two pho’s the waiter was obviously sick and was not wearing gloves when bringing out our side veggies for our pho as well as after she gave us our veggies she left and we did not see her again I had to go find her to get my water refilled, Not to mention they are also in the middle of a renovation and the scenery is not pleasant whatsoever the food was good nothing to complain about but the service was absolutely awful I will not be going back.

Best Café su da I've found to date.Food was served quick and hot,Bun GA Nuong Grilled Chicken(to-go) was a hit! Grandma loved it.Owner was super friendly & nice, very welcoming!
This restaurant is a gem in Des Moines. My partner and I are repeat customers and go specifically for their pho. The broth is unmatched in our opinion to the others in the area.

Such an authentic dining experience! I really enjoyed the special Pho, very rich beef broth flavor and tender cuts of meat. We also tried their shrimp toast-- crunchy and super creamy. Also don't forget to get yourself a drink, they have a good variety of options, they were just right amount of sweetness and strong coffee flavor. Staff were helpful! One of the best Viet restaurant in town! Can't wait to try out the rest of their menus.
