The service was nice. They didn't rush us with our orders, which didn't make us feel like we had to hurry up with choosing what to eat since it was our first time here. The decor looked cool as well. There were different drawings on their inside walls that showed various Vietnamese dishes, which looked so trendy! We ordered a bowl of Bun Bo Hue ($16.50) and a bowl of Bun Thit Nuong ($12.00). For drinks, we also ordered the Passion Jasmine Green Tea Fusion ($5.25) with lychee popping boba ($0.50) and the NUDO House Coffee ($6.50).
The Bun Bo Hue bowl is a Vietnamese spicy beef & pork noodle dish with spicy broth. The portions were really big! I'm glad that they were not stingy with the sizings because some restaurants can be like that at times. They also provided us with a small plate of cilantro and bean sprouts to mix up in the dish. As for the taste, the meats and noodles were tender & the seasoning was on point, although I wished they had added a bit more lemongrass to extend the flavor even more, but it's not a big deal.
The Bun Thit Nuong bowl is a Vietnamese grilled pork bowl filled with dry, vermicelli noodles, pork, carrots, and cilantro with a side of fish sauce for extensive flavoring. In my opinion, this meal was just okay. It wasn't bad at all, but I felt like the bowl could've had more flavor to it meat wise; however, this is only my opinion, as some people might like this meal more that I did.
The Passion Jasmine Green Tea Fusion with lychee popping boba tasted amazing! They used actual tea leaves, so it's authentic! The taste wasn't overly sweet and had the right amount of tea taste to it. As for the NUDU House Coffee, it tasted really good! It has sea salt foam in it to add a diverse flavor to the drink. If you're a coffee fan, I'd recommend trying this out.
I just wish that the pricing could be a bit lower because meals such as the Bun Bo Hue bowls are usually $12-$13 at other Vietnamese restaurants, but I do understand a bit since this is a small business. I would come back from time to time if I'm in the area. Next time, I will try either the Pho or their Chicken Wings since I saw that a lot of people loved these dishes.
