The Spring rolls are like nobody's else I've ever seen, excellent with peanut sauce- you will want extra peanut sauce if you like this as much as I do. The Sandwiches- YUMMY - The Vietnamese ham, roasted pork and Pâté with "bimmy" bread or whatever they call the fresh made bread is so soft and unbelievable! The PHO'S - The Standard P1- Delicious with brisket, tenon, etc ( nothing waisted LOL ) with fresh cut onions, bean sprouts, and so many other wonderful ingredients including fresh herbs. - The Coconut Curry Seafood Pho - is also delicious with squid, shrimp and fresh seafood of the day and excellent noodles. I will be back soon

The picture doesn't quite show it, but it was a pretty large bowl. In my opinion, it tastes best once you add some sriracha and other additional sauces. It was super flavorful and nutritious considering it had mushrooms, mixed greens, carrots, and zucchini. As for the pho, it was served with bean sprouts and herbs on the side for you to doctor it up. All in all, I'd be happy to return here!

She's an amazing bartender--super friendly, helpful with recommendations and kept the space spotless. She turned a 4-star meal into a 5-star experience. * Fish Quality: The sushi and fish quality were impressively fresh. * The Rolls & Ramen: Both rolls recommended by the Bianca were well above average and the ramen exceeded my expectations. * The Rice (Shari): A bit of a letdown. The rice was too mushy/wet and the portion of rice per piece was way too large. * Pork Bao: Not worth the mention (or a photo). Skip this one. Verdict: 5/5 stars. Mostly thanks to Bianca's top-tier hospitality. Solid Japanese spot in the heart of Downtown.

It was pretty pack but was able to grab a couple of seats at the bar and was immediately attended to. I really loved the atmosphere of this place as it's in an old building and i always love the exposed brick in these restaurants. We ordered a couple of sushi rolls with me ordering the cyclone and my wife ordering a salmon roll and they were very delicious. I love to explore new restaurants and this was definitely a winner

I mean, can't get much better than that. We got the Tofu Banh Mi, and it was not only delicious, but very pretty. And they don't skimp on the tofu, either. Nicely spiced and had great sauce. I do wish more veggies had been put on the sandwich. The bread, although quite good, was just a little too dense. You can get banh mi, pho ( I mean come on, how often can you get pho from a food truck?), Vietnamese tacos, and salads. I'd definitely make it a point to search for this truck. Do yourself a favor, and try out this little Vietnamese food truck heaven.

Like most fast casual restaurants you place your order at the counter and they bring it to your table. My most recent visit I ordered the Drunken Noodle and Mandu (6 Dumplings filled with ground meat & vegetables wrapped in a thin dough). As before everything was excellent. Previously I have gotten the Cha Gio - Vietnamese (Pork) Egg Rolls & Pad Thai which were both good as well, but I think Drunken Noodle is my new favorite. I wish that they had a combination appetizer option of the Mandu, Egg Rolls and Crab "Angles". Drinks are mostly bottles from a refrigerator but they do have Boba, Coffee & Hot Tea as well.

And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.

We got the spring rolls for one of the apps and the sauce was really peanut buttery - it lacked the flavour we're accustomed to when we order it at our regular Vietnamese dining spots.

Three picnic tables outside is all of the seating. Parking lot is small but there is parking across the street if needed. I usually order and then wait in my car for my food. Friday special is my favorite but if you are one of the lucky ones that dines there on a day when they have yellow noodle bowl, you are blessed. It is very rare.
