Brought home takeout on New Years Eve & we really enjoyed the meal. I had never had Vietnamese food before so I went to the restaurant to order our meal. I told the nice man at the counter that I was not sure what to get. Told him what we like & didn't like & he was very helpful. For our group of 4 adults & 2 young children he suggested 4 of their combo dishes all different so we could sample everything. I can't tell you if it was authentic Vietnamese food or not as it was our first time but I can say we all enjoyed it. Shrimp, chicken, beef & General Tau dishes were very good. Even had a little left over. The place look nicely decorated & while I waited, it looked like a nice place to have a relaxing meal. My wife & I will come back.

While the restaurant was very beautifully decorated, the food & service were underwhelming.

I came here with my family for lunch & ordered two ph? ??c bi?t lunch special combos (came with 2 spring rolls per combo) for $22 & bún ??u m?m tôm for $25.

While I thought the combo was good value, the ph? fell below my expectations as it was too heavily spiced. I think they put way too much star anise, cinnamon & cardamom, resulting in your throat burning after taking each sip of the broth.

The spring rolls were crispy & okay, though the veggie-meat ratio is off (not enough meat in the filling).

Also, I was just not impressed with the bún ??u m?m tôm. For $25, I expect a bit more than just fried tofu & a few pieces of ch? m?c. There wasn't even any pork or intestine, which is usually very common in the dish.

Finally, the service wasn't the greatest. Our waitress sounded a bit condescending & didn't seem happy when taking our order for some reason.

Overall, as a non-native person, it's passable. But as a Vietnamese, I think many more improvements can be made moving forward.
