Delicious Vietnamese food, in a cute little hole in the wall cafe. It’s all my traditional favorites, that I’ve been hoping would appear close to home. We had the chicken pho, a delicious miracle in that they use actual chicken broth (not beef or pork), a chicken bánh mi, and the pork and prawn summer rolls. All three were drool-worthy.
