Don't be fooled by the pictures. I took their specialty PHO soup & most of it is noodles & the broth. Go somewhere else for the soup

Très décevant . Le sandwich était passable. Les rouleaux imperiaux étaient très dures & secs. La jeune serveuse s'est trompé dans ma commande. Lorsque je l'ai avisé que je n'aimais pas du tout ce qu'elle m'a servi n'a rien dit & ma facturé quand même sans me poser de questions ou sans essayer de me faire un autre bubble thea. Pas un très bon service. Très déçue. J'ai pris pour emporter & la donné au premier itinérant devant la bâtisse lui était très content.

You know the food is about to be good when it's a small place. Amazing food, very kind staff & quick service. A nice selection of authentic homemade meals. Very good prices too, especially for the portion & quality of the food. Overall, a hidden gem 10/10 would recommend.

The best Banh Mi I've had in town! Their bread is airy & crispy while their ingredients are perfectly balanced & intensely flavoured. Seriously a must-try! Very good price also.

I'm not here to criticize the establishment or the ones working in the kitchen. I'm sure they are working hard & I wish them success. Was well received & nice waiters. However, when it comes to the food, it was very disappointing. Ordered the dac biet & no 41 bun. Both were very bland. The dac biet was missing ingredients such as the tripe & tendons, & contained only 1 single beef ball. The nuoc mam tasted like water. Left hungry & disappointed.
