"The food was great. The service is not that good, they gave my fried chicken to another family and then when I asked about it, they tried to return it back to us. I told them that we’d like a new one. The older man in the front is efficient, but everyone else seems a bit lost and untrained. Overall, this place is tasty. But they also had a few flies around the place. This is one of those places where the food is great, but everything else is not. I’m conflicted."

"Ran into this place randomly one night and ran into Rich Brian lol. The food was pretty decent t with big portions. The restaurant is more of a modernized asian cuisine with attentive staff. The menu has tons of unfamiliar items, if you feel confused just ask the staff they’ll explain it to you quickly. But I will say this, they have a very good selection on protein options."

"Yes, this spot has a C rating, but honestly every time my friend and I have come, we’ve never seen any bugs—and let’s be real, it’s the LES, so that’s not uncommon anywhere. We’re definitely going to keep coming back. The food is amazing! My friend and I are obsessed with the pho, and I personally love the pork banh mi—the baguette is perfect: soft enough that it doesn’t scrape the roof of your mouth like others do. I recently tried the iced coffee, and our server was so kind in showing us how to properly mix and pour it, which made the experience even better. We also really love the origin story behind this restaurant and supporting family-run businesses, which makes us want to root for them even more. Ending our meal with a pot of tea has become a little tradition, and we always finish every last drop. We truly hope this place continues to improve and thrive because we want to keep bringing all our friends here! "

"Decent spot! Sweet staff and fast service. Would recommend the steak banh mi with a side of pho… hit the spot on this autumn day. Summer rolls were huge. Dipping sauce was not as flavorful as other ones I’ve had!"

"The food isn’t anything to rave about. It’s decent at best. Or maybe I just came on the wrong day. It was a Sunday afternoon with not many patrons. As we entered we were greeted promptly and seated . They do need to work on training their staff instead of yelling and demanding the waitress. We found that pretty rude. The waitress was nice. The food came out on time. The summer rolls were okay. The pork in the summer rolls tasted a bit odd. The shrimp in the summer rolls were good. Also ordered the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork. It’s what I usually get at Vietnamese restaurants. Wasn’t blown away by the taste. The portion sizes on all dishes were great. But the flavor lacked on all the dishes. What disappointed the most were the fried spring rolls. They tasted super stale. My girlfriend got a seafood soup dish with noodles that she seems to enjoy, but she did mention the broth was pretty bland. Overall we had a decent experience. Nothing to rave about. We left with full tummies , but disappointed in the lack of flavors in the dishes. Staff was nice (except for the management yelling at the waitress in front of patrons) , interior is what’s expected for a hole in the wall. Probably wouldn’t come back here with there being much better options in the area."
