It's been a while since we were here last but everything seems the same! Glad it didn't change due to Covid except the prices, omg! Little bit if sticker shock. Vietnamese food used to be the cheap eats!
This casual Vietnamese spot has great flavors, fresh food and good service. They offer pho, appetizers, rice, and vermicelli bowls. Simple menu with great food.
Spring Rolls with Shrimp & Pork - this is something I crave all the time and if I see it on the menu, I HAVE to order it. They make it very presentable and roll it great! It's tightly rolled so it doesn't fall apart when eaten. The sauce is yummy when adding a touch of Sriracha. However, the rolls were filled to the brim with noodles, a little veggies and the THINNEST slices of shrimp and pork, like rice paper thickness THIN. They have some great knife skills back there! You almost can't see the proteins from the cross section. That was a bit disappointing. Good flavors but barely any slices of protein.
Crispy Eggrolls/Cha Gio - these were super yummy! Be careful as they come out HOT!! Served with a side of veggies, noodles and pickled carrots to roll the eggrolls in. Love the fish sauce vinegarette (nuoc mam) they use with an added squirt of Sriracha! Definitely get this!
Pho Tai & Beef balls - great beefy broth with thin sliced beef that is served rare and cooks in the hot soup, onions, and green onions! Also served with a heaping dish of bean sprouts, mint, lime and jalapeños. I ordered it with beef balls but was super disappointed with these, they had a weird consistency -- too soft! It's supposed to be a bit chewy and springy. I usually get these for the great bouniness, but it fell flat. I did love the metal bowl it came in to keep the soup as hot as possible on these cool autumn nights!
Special Pho with Charbroiled Meats - One thing they have here that I don't usually see at other Pho restaurants, but I may have just not notice is they serve charbroiled meats: Beef, chicken or pork with pho. It's usually served on the side and delicious! I didn't get it this time but it's another of my faves.
Service is quick and friendly.
Parking is available on the shared lot but can get busy. Street parking is also available and easy to get to when it's busy.
