Stumbling upon Hoàng Oanh was a serendipitous event for me. At first glance, the modest exterior didn't prepare me for the delightful experience that awaited. A small sign advertising a $6 Bánh Mì caught my eye, and hunger piqued my curiosity enough to step inside.
Upon entering, the restaurant presented itself as a bright, clean space. Though primarily set up for takeout with a few tables near the entrance, the ambiance was welcoming. The staff, several in number, greeted me with friendly smiles, adding to the warm atmosphere.

Perfect 10/10 ! Will...
