I love the food here and have eaten here many times. I usually get the pho or banh mi. The smoothies are delicious! But the boba is gross. It always has a bite to it and never tastes sweetened with brown sugar or honey. That's fine though, I just don't order it!
Unfortunately the woman working at the front makes me feel like I'm not welcome or inconveniencing her every time we order. We always say hi, sometimes we have questions, and tell her to have a nice day, but we either never get a response or the response is low energy. There's no eye contact, low volume, and visible eye rolling or scoffing, I know customer service isn't a fun job, but it almost feels personal? I'm really glad they have an online ordering option and a kiosk now because I can avoid her. She triggers my social anxiety because I feel like I'm doing something wrong every...
Read moreOrdered take out tonight. This is my first meal here if you don't count a banh mi sandwich, it was good which I had once about 3 months ago. I really wanted some Vietnamese food tonight.

The owner was nice to comp me a lychee tea while I waited for my to go meal. Heh, I'm not real on ambiance but if the is good, that's...
Read moreI ate here on 7/16 for dinner and everything was phenomenal.
I had the combo rice plate with pork, shrimp, and Korean short ribs and was extremely satisfied with the amount of food and the flavor. I also had an order of the salt and pepper chicken wings which were excellent and came with fried peppers that were amazing.
The real star of the show was the bahn mi. I got the charbroiled pork bahn mi and it might be the best one I've ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted, light and crispy, with incredible flavors in every bite. I already have plans to go back tomorrow to try one of their other sandwiches.
Can't go wrong by coming here, everything is prepared with care.
10/10...
