Second time trying Vietnamese food and very happyI did. This place is actually much better than the one I tried some time ago. I liked how clean it was and food tasted good and fresh. I had shrimp spring rolls and tofu pho bowl. It was plenty of food for about $15 but I didn’t feel like a stuffed turkey after eating all of it.

Amazing fresh food here. It is super filling and also very healthy. It is well suited for all ages. Food comes out quickly and also tastes very fresh. The meat is very tender with the vegetables adding a very refreshing flavor to each bite. Sauces also add in very addicting flavors with the garlic chili sauce and peanut sauce with springrolls. Coffee is also great with their viet iced coffee using Cafe du Monde. 100% must try.

This place really does it for me. Ive been coming here since I was 9 years old and the quality ingredients still make me come back. The wait staff are very pleasant and I never went without an empty cup or stomach. The cooks are super hard-working, want to recommend this restaurant to everyone!

After all these years its still the best pizza inn. Grab a quick slice at lunchtime or get a whole pie... either way you cant go wrong!

Easily one of the best Bánh mì rolls Ive ever had in my life and Ive had a few! I love the building itself as well as the food as it all culminates to being a fantastic dining experience in a very clean and modern area.Plus the servings themselves are absolutely spot on and fill you up from when you order to when you leave.When Im in the area again, Ill definitely go back and Ill encourage anyone in the area to go to it too!

I come here for the banh mi. They make that bread perfectly crunchy. It’s a rare thing. Even shops in Argyle can’t compete. The Vietnamese coffee is good too.

Review №34

It was the my first ever veggie bahm mi . It was very impressive. I could a have used a bit more chili sauce but that is not on them.Additionally, I had easily the freshest spring rolls I have ever had. The greens on the inside were bright and crisp and the peanut sauce was spot on. If you are hungry, go here to eat.

Review №35

Pretty good Vietnamese food! Ginger chicken pho was flavorful and not too salty, but the chicken itself was just okay. Vietnamese iced coffee was very strong, so be sure to stir up the condensed milk at the bottom! The garden spring roll was tasty as well, but it really needs the peanut sauce to make the flavors great. Would highly recommend checking this place out and supporting the local restaurant owners!

Review №69

Just found this place and am very pleased, we have been looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant and now we have one. I had the Veggiecado and the Tofu Spring roll. Both are great, the tofu is crispy but just a little bit, not over done. The sandwich is a generous size and has great taste. The spring rolls are good size and very fresh, they were just made for my order. I did curbside pickup and it works great.Highly recommend them! I will be coming back.
