Avoid. Tonight at 7pm in an empty restaurant my take away order took 50 minutes. Lots of Microwave Beeps were heard, which makes the length of time to prep more questionable. Food wasnt inedible, but average, making the wait hurt even more. Crispy Pork & Chicken Banh Mi werent Crispy, Spring Rolls were Dry, Pho Broth Lukewarm (I only live 5 minutes away), Fried Rice made with Frozen Vegetables.

We will certainly be back....

Banh mi chicken meat was ok but would have been greatly improved if using chicken breast. Crispy pork rice paper rolls were only ok. Meat was very chewy and not crispy and lacked flavor. Banh mi bread was fresh...
