The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with only a few tables indoors, but there are additional tables available outside. My wife and I decided to try a couple of their sandwiches--the Cubano and the Greenbird. Both were absolutely amazing! The flavors were on point, and we really enjoyed both sandwiches. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other sandwiches. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Seemed unsanitary as they looked dirty like they were used and put back. Tables weren't cleaned. Drinks come in very small cups. My daughter enjoyed her vegetable pho. I did not enjoy the tofu and noodles I ordered. I thought the noodles were large not skinny and the tofu tasted and felt like wet scrambled eggs. Wanted crispy tofu but it is very soggy and unflavored. Vegetables were soggy and overcooked. I didn't eat my food and told the lady at the register it was not what was expected and I didn't want it. She did not care or attempt to offer something else. I paid and threw away the food. Waste of money.

Customer service is excellent (real mom and pop shop) and their sandwiches are even better. My top 3 favorites are the Rockin' Ronnie, Old Bailey, and Turkey Blueberry, in that order. My wife's top 3 are Rockin' Ronnie, Jody Special, and Gnarly Marley. If you're even considering this place, trust me, go now! It's a hidden gem.

We walked in and met the funniest lady working. Not sure if she's the owner or what, but she made the experience good from the get-go. We ordered egg rolls and the Specialty Pho, and they hit the spot. Good portion of meat, noodles, and broth. The broth was savory and clean. Meat was good quality. Egg rolls hot and crunchy with a spectacular sauce. Overall, the meal with delicious and filling. The interior was nice. Not elevated like some fancy place, but more homey and welcoming. It was clean and set a chill tone. Again, I have to comment on how friendly and fun the host/owner was. She truly did make the experience so fun. I'll definitely be coming back based on how sweet she was. The excellence of the food is a bonus on top.

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

They are still sticking to the original recipes and I appreciate the dough of our Italian Sausage & Mushroom pizza. We also shared a Caesar salad. I like that they have a room for private events - they had the Padres game on in that room. Our server would pass by a few times so that we could ask her for anything additional. We skipped dessert this time. Our pizza was better the second day! The way they prepare mushrooms was the way my hometown pizza place did. And the CHEESE! So delicious and melt-y!!!! Enjoy it

Great textural contrast between the soft and chewy and the crispy eggroll skin paired very nicely with their rich nutty peanut sauce. 7.2 - The fried rice was very savory with a nice balance of sweetness from the peas however, the beef was dry. 6.8 - The shaken beef was a little disappointing because it was lacking the wok hay that I expect with shaken beef. The sauces are typical shaken beef, black pepper with a sweet soy sauce glaze along with carmelized onions. Overall, I'll definitely be back and want to try the Pho!
