★★★☆☆ 3.0 Julie V · Mar 2026

We arrived around 12-1pm. It was crazy busy! Line was out the door. When you first enter that’s where you’ll place your order and let the cashier know if you’re dining in or ordering for take out. It was a really cutesy and bright restaurant. They did decorate certain areas for photos. No music but because it was a very busy restaurant it was pretty loud. I found it difficult to converse with my significant other. Due to how busy it was we waited 20mins for all of our food to come out, which wasn’t too bad. You seat yourself after they give you a dining table #, There is a self serve station where you get your own utensils, water, and condiments. Besides the cashier at ordering when you enter, no one else really checks in on you. We spent a total of $65 for 2 drinks, 2 pho, egg rolls an

Cute and homey place. Service was attentive and friendly. Tri-color refresher was good. I like lychee and wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the strong lychee juice from the jello they put in but the more I drank, I liked it. Got three banhmis, the circle combo, charsiu pork and regular cold cut. Truthfull, was a bit disappointed, there wasn’t much flavor to any of them. Barely any mayo/pate on each. Charsiu pork was just sweet, didn’t taste like charsiu. Baguette was crispy yet soft. Meat portions were decent. Wait time should have not been 35 minutes with orders after me(banhmis as well), getting theirs before me. So based off the first initial order, I would go back to try other dishes and drinks but the banhmi’s were sadly a miss.

Since it was pretty new when I went i dont blame them for taking so long to get our order. Took about 40mins to get 2 banh mis which was pretty pretty good but wish it had pate or if it did there wasnt enough, got 3 drinks. The tiramisu milk tea was pretty good with a pice of the cake in there, the Ube cream Vietnamese iced coffee, and the matcha milk tea. Also got a tiramisu croffle. It was so good, probably the best not hot made one. All the croffles I've had before were freshly made. This one was freshly put together at room temp I guess is the only way to explain it. Hope in the future they dont lose quality and speed up orders. Oh yeah also got the pork belly laab bao buns. Pretty good for being unique.

The food was all right. It was better than most Asian cuisine in the area, but the egg rolls were thin and they lacked flavor and they were burnt as well on the ends and towards the middle which was kind of weird. Also, the dipping sauce didn't have flavor at all and there wasn't even enough to truly dip your egg roll in as an enhancer of flavor as the cup that the dipping sauce came in was small and maybe filled by like a quarter of an inch of sauce which is nothing. Restaurant itself has an ambiance of cold institutional cafeteria. Feel. They've tried. It's very clean and it's nice and new at that but it's not welcoming so much. The staff is not either not friendly nor are they friendly except for one of the owners nieces who is phenomenal, she provided incredible customer service not on

★★★★★ 5.0 TinaEh VangLee · Dec 2025

An asian restaurant that serves Vermicelli Noodles, Bahn Mi sandwiches, Spring Rolls, Egg rolls, Chicken Wings, Croffle, Coffee, Shakes, Matcha and some specialty drinks. The food quality was good. The Bahnmi sandhwich was great in quality. the bread was crunchy yet super soft! the amount of protein you get is very generous and more than enough for one person. The bahnmi sandwiches from here, we would highly recommend sharing it with one more other person as its a good size. The vermicelli noodles was great. The vermicelli noodle dish will satisfy your cravings for it. The amount of noodlesis very well balanced with the choice of protein you choose. The drinks were very well made and wasnt stuffed with ice as other shops do. We enjoyed the food. The only unfortunate experience was when
