A 4.8-star rating with over 500 reviews on Google Maps is what got me. We were a party of two on a Thursday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Less than half of the tables were occupied and there were two staff members working.
Their menu is quite extensive, and on the high average end for pricing. You can expect to spend about $20-30 after taxes and tips per person, depending on what you get. I got the banh da cua hai phong, which is Hai Phong-style noodles, including a variety of toppings like crab paste, shrimp, and pork betel leaves. My friend got the com rang dua bo, which is fried rice with stir-fried mustard greens and beef. The noodles were a bit oilier than I anticipated but taste overall was good. It's not something I'd choose over pho though. The fried rice by itself was very delicious - I'd get this by itself, but my friend said the combination of greens & beef with the fried rice was weird ("not balanced" he said). The portions are huge. I ate only 1/3 of the noodles and my friend ate 1/2. We had lots of leftovers. In total we spent $27pp each.
The service was very good. They came around often to refill our tea and was pretty attentive.
Overall if I come back, I'd try out their pho or the crab sticky rice (if we had a larger party) like people recommended! read more
