Came here with my husband and 2 dogs. They have a bunch of outside seating and ordering was super easy. We both got pho tai with added veggies and a shared order of the bbq chicken and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was incredibly tasty, pho was hot with lots of meat and veggies. The. spring rolls were also phenomenal. The owners and staff were also super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely be coming back for both the amazing food and friendly people who work here.
Had the fish spring rolls, and they were some of the best spring rolls I've had. All very fresh and well executed. What makes the place exceptional is their service. Despite this being a to-go only place with a few outdoor tables, the staff manages to create a warm and neighborly environment. They even offered my dog some shrimp after her long hike. If I lived closer, I would be here regularly. Great value as well!
Absolutely love this place! The food is incredible and the service is excellent AND friendly! We had the pho, a shrimp sandwich (pictured half-eaten because it was so good he couldn't wait), and chicken vermicelli! Everything was so good and the portions are gonna fill you up. Been here before and will be back again!
Comfort food, Delicious & Hearty Bahn Mi, could easily be shared by two but I'm pleasantly full when I have one, side of soup is such a Bonus. But their shredded chicken Pho is so Generous on the chicken, it never disappoints, a wonderful meal on its own.
Omg!!! I can't wait to eat here again even tho the food is so good I ate so much and can't really imagine ever eating again! So fresh! Sooooo great flavors! Light yet filling and hearty and delicious all at once. Pictured: vermicelli lemongrass beef with carrots and the chicken egg rolls--enough food for 2-3 ppl!
Excellent, fast service. Delicious, filling (vegan!) Veggie noodle soup with Tofu and house made spicy sauce. More vegan options available that I will definitely come back for including Banh Mi and Vermicelli
We were coming back from San Francisco and stopped by this place to eat. Small cafe in a non-touristy place, very friendly staff. We ordered three different noodle soups. Everything was delicious.
