Was not a fan of the food unfortunately. The vermicelli bowl and bahn mi both had very odd additions (such as, boiled potatoes, odd flavorless mushrooms, and soggy bok choy) that did nothing for the flavor and were skimpy on the more traditional fillings (1 piece of tofu and a single spear of cucumber - not a jalapeño or peanut garnish in sight).
