A few no meat options. Their vegan Tofu Bánh Mì is my favorite, soft bread, pickled carrots and daikon, thick tofu, very flavorful. Husband enjoyed his grilled chicken dish. Their garlic rice is yummy too.

Great food across the board. Nice service - making sure we get something we like. Gave our dog water outside, which was appreciated. Food had good flavor and texture from the chicken pho to the spring rolls to the vietnamese coffee. Only improvement was that the chicken was a little overcooked, but its rare to find chicken pho without overcooked chicken. Amazing food after a hike.

First time trying pho and I made the right choice trying it here. I ordered the Vegetarian Pho and the portion size was way more than I had anticipated. it tasted pretty good and had a lot of flavor, veggies added a crunch to the soft noodles. The amount of tofu was a bit disappointing, but i still enjoyed the bowl. Service was really good as the wait staff was helpful and friendly

THE GOOD- Super friendly staff.- - Easy going, courteous.- Only 10 to 15 minutes of waiting after ordering- Grilled Chicken (4.5 out of 5, wife says 5/5)- - Chicken was moist and flavorful.- BBQ Pork (4 out of 5)- - Flavor was good, pretty moist BUT, but there were part of the pork that felt gritty or dry.... not sure.- - - Bread is good quality and both sandwiches stuffed full of ingredients.- Interior clean.THE BAD- Only thing to really note was how the BBQ Pork was gritty or dry.THE UGLY- We came one day after going to the dog park and was excited to try the place.... but they were closed because they were catering instead. Not cool in my opinion. Unless its a holiday, you need to be open during your set hours.Get ready for some seriously delicious sandwiches! This sandwich restaurant has friendly and courteous staff that will make you feel right at home. You wont have to wait long for your order, with just 10 to 15 minutes between ordering and serving. The grilled chicken is a standout, with moist and flavorful meat that will make your taste buds dance! The BBQ pork sandwich is also good, but there were some gritty or dry bits that could be improved. The sandwiches are generously stuffed with high-quality ingredients and served on good quality bread. The restaurants interior is clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to enjoy your meal. The only disappointment was when the restaurant was closed for catering during the our first visit, but dont let that stop you from trying this amazing sandwich spot!

The cheesy classic sandwich is so good. And the spicy beef noodles are also very nice! Will definitely come back again.

A nice and cozy Vietnamese place, pho is freshly made, and the portion is huge (I think, for average girls, at least I couldn’t finish the whole bowl), spring rolls are huge too, also very fresh. Banh mi is awesome especially the bread, but warning - BBQ pork is HOT! Good thing is that they have cool water for you to help yourself with on-site.

Small restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We stopped here on a cold day when craving a hot bowl of pho. The spicy beef noodle was very flavorful and my partners mixed beef bowl was also very flavorful. We chose to dine-in but the appetizer came out far after our pho bowls. While waiting, it seems the kitchen is pretty disorganized and with only one person taking orders, it felt chaotic.Overall, I feel the food is good, but not extra special compared to other restaurants in the area. Its also a little more highly priced, around $15-20 per bowl. Still, were willing to give it another chance on a winter day.

The pork & mango spring rolls are delicious! The mango is a new ingredient for a spring roll, and its a good addition to a spring roll. The flavor of the BBQ pork comes through, even when dipped in the sauce and (technically optional) Sriracha.The Thai tea goes well with this dish!

Excellent food! Very fresh, clean, great vegetarian options, we tried the vegetarian curry, veg rolls and tofu Bahn mi - all were good! Minimal wait time on a week day lunch hour! Keep up the quality!

Stop your search right here, youve found the best Vietnamese food in the areaBut seriously though, the food here is amazing! Not to mention friendly staff, clean restaurant, and nice decor. Very trendy and modern. Theyve done a good job really making use of their space!1. TRY A SOUP. any soup but if you had to choose one, then the crab paste and shrimp soup because that was mind-blowing. So much flavor in the broth. No shame, I drank it all. I also tried their Northern Pho and Bun Bo Hue, and both soups were also delicious. They nail the whole soup thing.2. GARLIC NOODLES. Ahh so good. The garlic and the butter taste soooooooooo good. It taste even better when you add some grilled meat to it *hint hint*3. Pork and Mango Spring Rolls! Perfect appetizer because it was light, delicious, and simple. The pork and mango work well together and their peanut sauce is bomb.I can make a list and continue on and on about how they have delicious food but everything is worth trying so you cant go wrong. Their drinks are also really good! I love how theyre not sugar heavy in their drinks, this is definitely a plus for me!My new obsession Highly recommend trying them out!!
