"This family-owned restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall where customers can also do their shopping at Vien Dong supermarket. They’re only doing take-out for now, due to staff shortage, but are hoping to open up for dining in as they used to before the pandemic. Their excellent bun rieu is currently available from Friday to Sunday but don’t miss the combo banh cuon with tender steamed rice rolls, rice noodles, fried pork patties, and Vietnamese-style pork charcuterie." - Helen I.
