We came during an off peak time for lunch, in the early afternoon. There were very little people inside and they were spaced out well. We decided to sit at one of the more enclosed booths. All of the staff were wearing masks, which lowered my anxiety a bit. This restaurant had a beautiful interior. I loved the play on the natural plants and flowers, brick walls, exposed pipes, and wooden tables. I didn't take a great picture of it, but the mural on their wall of everyday life in Vietnam was a nice touch.
Now, on to the food! We ordered their veggie spring rolls and pork egg rolls as appetizers. The spring rolls were alright. They weren't that flavorful and the peanut sauce seemed diluted. However, the egg rolls were the bomb! Crispy and light rice paper wrapper. Umami pork and mushroom filling. Dipping the egg rolls into the fish sauce added even another layer of flavor. I will totally order these egg rolls again. We also got their iced Vietnamese coffee. It was quite sweet, but still strong.
For the entree's, we ordered the lemongrass tofu vermicelli and veggie pho. The pho was ok. The broth was bland to me. But, that's maybe because I'm more used to a full bodied meat based broth. I wish they'd used mushroom to make this broth. I think it would've been more flavorful, IMO. The vermicelli dish was beautiful and delicious. It was a huge dish when it came to our table. I knew I couldn't eat it all in one sitting. But, I enjoyed the marinated tofu, stir fried veggies, fresh veggies, and vermicelli once I mixed all these components together. They even had a yummy dipping sauce that had soy sauce and vinegar in it. I didn't pour it all over my vermicelli this time. But, I think I'll do this next time.
Overall, I think that we'll definitely be returning to try their other dishes...or I'll likely order their egg rolls and vermicelli dish again. Lol. They're so good. Come check them out.
