Chao Vietnamese Street Food

This overpriced, Vietnamese restaurant reflects the Caucasian community it serves. As an Asian who eats a lot of Asian food, I would not recommend it. The food is overpriced, and not good. I have left over 300 Google Reviews and rarely do I leave a bad review... CONTEXT I stopped in for dinner with a friend since I enjoy trying new places. Paid $25, excluding tax for a $9 bahn mi, $8 ragoon and a $6 bubble tea... LET'S TALK ABOUT FOOD 🧋 MILK TEA bubble tea they served me was a CRIME. Absolutely terrible. You could tell that they made it using the powder stuff, but it also lacked flavor. The worst part about it all was that the boba in it was not cooked right so it was a little hard in the center. Please just take it off the menu if you can't deliver. I cannot believe I paid $6 for this..

They have a lunch special that includes a Bahn Mi and a small bowl of pho. I also got their spring rolls with peanut sauce. I'd never had a Bahn Mi before but I knew what it was. The carrot and daikon were very lightly pickled (if at all). The bun was good, very crispy. The pork was good but a little sweeter than what I was expecting. The spring rolls were just OK, nothing special. I got the beef pho which was so good. Very light broth but very flavorful. With the small pho there was no side plate of veggies but I didn't miss it because the pho was so good. I will definitely be back for a regular bowl of pho.

Food was delicious! Service was great. Do NOT skip out on the dessert!! The Very Berry Bubble Waffles were phenomenal, and the Taro Creme Brulee was also good.

The food was amazing! Even after 10 years, the chef keeps things fresh with new ideas! Loved the homemade sauces and the Vietnamese coffee-flavor ice cream on the waffle. Definitely coming back!

Nothing about this restaurant is the Vietnamese theme so as far as atmosphere for a date…it looks kind of upstartish. I ordered the lunch special pork banh mi and chicken pho paid extra for the vegetables plate on the egg rolls too. I had explained did not like spice and the waitress was very understanding when I sent the egg roll sauce back due to it having pepper flakes in it. She was not understanding about being asked a to-go box on her next trip out to check in guests. She seemed out. The pho was horrible to me. Very bland. Need lots of lime. I was desperate for some flavor- salt or msg something please? The vegetables on both the egg rolls and pho plates were wilted. The daikon tasted weird- not fermented long enough? The pork banh mi had fat in it I didn’t want. I guess I will cont
