My son ordered the pho brisket, and I went with my usual pho chicken, and as always... it was absolutely delicious. I've been coming to this humble little spot for many years now, and what I love most is that it still feels just the same as when it first opened--consistent, comforting, and full of heart. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest welcoming smile. They kindly asked if we had been there before and walked my son through the menu. We placed our order, and within just a few minutes our bowls were brought out steaming and fresh. The ambiance is simple but special--filled with photos that reflect vintage Asia and a sense of history that makes the space feel warm and familiar. All in all, the food was amazing as always, but the best part was the quiet bonding time I got to spend with my firstborn over a comforting bowl of pho. Moments like that are priceless.

I remember having a fairly good opinion of this bellagreen location in the past (before I had a…read moreYelp account), but my recent visit left a very unappealing impression. The self-service fountain drink area smelled strongly of mildew or old sponges, and the counter was very sticky and wet. I understand a mess during a lunch rush, but the lingering odor was a big turn off. I ordered a White Chicken Parm, and the chicken was unpleasantly rubbery in some areas- I regretfully had to spit out a piece, which I genuinely try not to do out of respect. Pasta was also too salty for my taste. The menu description also lists broccolini, but the reality was more of regular broccoli that was also soft to the point of being slightly mushy. I'm hoping the best for this restaurant, and also hope that this may have been an off day since there are recent good reviews; but in the meantime, I'll be exploring other Vintage Park options for lunch. - Ambiance: 2/5 - Food: 2/5 - Service: 4/5

The menu was not very big so it made me think that they would be really good at what they made. That logic proved right. I started with an appetizer of humus and my son ordered the cheese pizza. At first, I wasn't impressed with his pizza based on looks -- then I tasted it. The pizza was really good. The humus was also really solid. For my main, I ordered a burger. I think I was so hungry that I forgot to snap a pic of it. Regardless, it also was a really good burger. The restaurant is an order from the counter concept and then take a seat. You're on the hook for your refills / condiments / dinnerware. I like that. Only drawback is the parking situation. The front lot is pretty small and there were no spaces. Otherwise, I really like the place! Thank you to the Yelpers who went before me and left the good reviews and enticing pictures.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service was genuinely kind from start to finish. I enjoyed my meal so much that I came back for another round of the lamb gyro platter--it was that good! One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Sam, the owner and chef, who personally stopped by our table. He generously treated us to some Basbousa and extra falafels to try, which made the experience feel even more special. The jalapeño mozzarella falafel was delicious and a fun twist on a classic, but it's hard to beat the original falafel--crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and perfectly fresh. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for fresh Mediterranean cuisine made with heart, I highly recommend giving this place a try. We'll definitely be back!

Seating was ok; not very convenient - mostly bench style on one side with chairs on the other, and a few narrow booths. Ordered Shrimp Tempura, Mozzarella Sticks, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and Spicy Cauliflower for appetizers, followed by Lamb Gyro/Chicken Shawarma; Beef Gyro/Chicken Taouk; Tabbouleh Salad with Lentil Soup; Falafel Burger with Lentil Soup; and bottled Yogurt drinks and Lemonade. Food arrived quickly but all at the same time - despite requesting the server to make sure the appetizers came first followed by the entrees. When notified, two servers basically informed us that they were not the cooks and that the latter was making everything together and sending them out as they were made! Ridiculous...soon our table was filled with plates of food, with little room to maneuver! Food was okay; nothing to write home about. Have had much better at lower prices. Quantity of Hummus was quite small for the price charged. Bread was not fresh and was served lukewarm. While we were still at the table eating our meal, the whole place began shutting down even though ocean closing time and cleaners started swabbing the floors around us - so our meal ended with the lovely aroma of floor cleaning liquid! Ah what an end to a memorable evening - crazy! The whole meal set us back $210 including an undisclosed service charge already built in - not informed about this at all until asked. Not planning to return as nothing impressed much and cost was reactively high.

I got to try out alot of the appetizers the first time and a few Thai dishes/curries. This time around got to try the Phat phrik khing, it was seasoned well with a good amount of spice which I liked. The service overall was good, the young lady worked hard to fulfill everyone's orders and food came at an efficient pace which I appreciated. The vibe was very lively with Youtube Music videos and eventually dance floor started buzzing after dinner. The one thing that made me a bit uneasy it seemed like they were getting tap water at a faucet that doubled as a hand washing station. I know tap water is normal and some restaurants' water are filtered, but it just looked slightly unhygienic. Other than that, a fan of the the food and a decent place to host events/parties if you're in this area.

I don't come to that side of town often so I'm not sure how things work during the week or a regular weekend. The space is pretty large and seems like a good place to hold events like a small wedding, engagement party, quinceanera, etc. and they have a stage that we used for Karaoke. Again, I'm not sure if that's a normal event there or it was just us. I was there for an event with a lot of people in our group and even though they don't have a lot of staff, they took my order and brought the food in a timely manner and it was fresh and delicious. I ordered the mixed vegetables with beef and not spicy so it came out perfect. I know a few others who thought they were used to spicy foods learned a lesson that day about not ordering stuff too spicy so you probably want to offset the desired spice level minus 20% when ordering because apparently they are not messing around with the heat!

The pani puri was good - especially the imli chutney. The "pani" had a nice flavor but the chutney really took it to the next level. I do wish that there was a little more filling inside the puris but overall it was good. The samosa chat was very good. I would say 8/10. But the star of the show was the masala fries. There were two different types of masala on top and they really made you feel like you were back "home" having these from the street vendors. They were crispy on the outside and just melted in your mouth delicious on the inside. The contrasting flavors of the two different powders on top really made it magical in your mouth. Like the fries were so good we got a second order. When I placed the second order of the fries, I also got a chai. The owner/worker is so nice that he asked me how I wanted the chai i.e. strong/sweet/etc. It took a while for them to bring it out which means that it was made to order and it tasted fantastic! I can't wait to go back and try the other items when I am back in the area.

Whether it's trendy or not, I'm happy to say that after 2 years away, I can now revisit Cava with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Most elements of this shop have remained the same over the years. Fast casual customizable product. Simple straightforward options with a Mediterranean twist. Fountain drinks with a few worth while additions. They are however mixing things up with glazed salmon, seasoned pita chips and something strawberry sesame for the summer. I won't detail the ordering process because if you've been to any restaurant of this type, you've been to them all, but I will say that even though there were a few hiccups in my order (the crew was replacing meats, but did not replace the salmon leaving me with older salmon, and my greens ended up on top leaving a pool of sauce at the bottom of my bowl after confusion around limited power greens), they're still worth the revisit. They were slammed after all and even with the hiccups I enjoyed my bowl and appreciate the ingredient transparency. Happy healthy eating out!
