Is a good place to eat and has an amazing taste, I can tell that most of the menu would be delicious, the service is amazing and I would say that parking is their weakness.

Wait time to sit down about 10 minutes. Worth the wait. I ordered the spicy soup and it was delicious. The fried shrimp portion was huge. Friendly staff. Speedy service. Highly recommend

Mistakingly thought this place was the restaurant I was looking for. I’m still on the search, but this was a pearl to find. Bún w/ Pork and Egg roll: light plate, very good. Walnut Shrimp: heavy plate, large portion, tasty. Shrimp Spring Roll: EXCELLENT. Would return just for these.

This Vietnamese place is really good; once you walk in, it just smells really good. Everything that I tried from here was so delicious; the pho was ok. I really enjoyed the pho when you can taste the broth. Great customer service; the staff are really attentive.

Delicious food and excellent service! Well worth going out to eat here! I highly recommend the bun (noodle dish) and the egg rolls. The egg rolls are easily the best that I have had anywhere. I recommend dipping them in the fish sauce to really let their flavor shine.
