This place is very near and dear to my heart, because I've been coming here for years. Now I think it's gone through different ownership over my lifetime, but I've always consistently loved the pork buns here. It's a bit strange, but they've always made a good pork bun to me.

Don’t even know what the inside of the restaurant looks like but the food so good it’s worth repeatable trips back. We started coming here for the rare beef pho, But tonight ventured out into their Thai options-Pad Thai, and Angel Wings. The food really does have a home-cooked feel to it, kind of rustic, with really good flavors. The owners are super, super sweet.
