Hidden Gem Alert!

So depending on how busy this place is it's not that easy just to duck in and grab a roll. Friendly service. I chose the cripsy pork version of the classic Vietnamese roll. Preparing the roll took longer than average, this may need some work. Also at $12 it's a bit more than I'm used to paying down at Darra but I can say the extra cost is worth it. The flavor and quality of the product was very good. They just need to get cracking a bit more ;) I'll be back to get...
