"A new takeout-only Vietnamese outpost in San Gabriel draws on a multigenerational family legacy that began in 1986, with the founder’s granddaughter and her father shaping the concept. The menu leans traditional with contemporary twists — highlights include plant-based banh cuon crepes made with Beyond Meat (the crepes take five days to prepare), a banh xeo crepe adapted without pork belly for pescatarians, bun noodle salads, rice plates, and specialty noodles. A variety of sweet and tea-based drinks (Thai tea, strawberry peach black tea, lychee green tea, taro milk tea, and lychee lemonade) complements a slow-drip Vietnamese coffee finished with a touch of chocolate served from opening time. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the location aims to extend the restaurant group's reach across the San Gabriel Valley and into much of LA’s Eastside while preserving the family goal of creating dishes people love to share." - Mona Holmes
