Woke up craving Vietnamese food on a Sunday afternoon so decided to try this place out since its close to home. It's a small, casual place on the corner.
The menu isn't huge but pretty good for a place of this size, with all the Vietnamese staples like pho, rice, vermicelli,etc. We ordered goi cuon (shrimp and pork spring rolls), chicken pho, and lemongrass garlic chicken with rice. The spring rolls were alright, but the peanut sauce that came with it was a little more vinegary and less salty than is traditional. It wasn't bad, just sort of a surprise.
The chicken pho was large and filling, but the broth could've been better. It had the right amount of salt but lacked the strong, savory chicken flavor you'd expect from pho. Also, the chicken breast pieces were kind of dry. Not the worst pho ever but you can definitely find better options around the city. The sautéed chicken was a bit lacking in seasoning and used the same thin chicken breast slices as the pho, which wasn't a problem in itself but the meat ended up pretty dry and chewy.
I really wanted to like this place and was hoping for a good, convenient spot near home, but it just doesn't stack up against the Vietnamese food I'm used to. Would be willing to come back, maybe I just didn't order the right dishes.
