“This little Vietnamese joint is a real gem. Their banh mi xiu mai is my fav - imagine soft bread hugging tasty meatballs with a burst of flavors in every bite. Plus, everything else on their menu is just as good. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly - it's the perfect spot for a tasty meal that hits the spot.“

“Amazing food and they have some dishes that most of the other commercialized/ typical Vietnamese restaurants around the area doesn't have. Got the bun reiu or number 25 that is a savory crab flavored soup. The flavor is just right like mom's home cooking and not watered down or lacking in spices to skimp. The service was fast to order, just right to make and serve, and the workers are welcoming. I would recommend coming here for a more authentic taste of Vietnamese food. Before you go through, you want to bring some greens and not plastic.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“
