    4. 2 Veggie Spring Rolls with Tofu 1 with shrimp.  So fresh and tasty. I don't do spicy food but have spicy fans that love this place too!!!
    Meghan G.

    Absolutely love this little gem! Healthy fresh vegi spring rolls and love the pho when the weather cools off !!! Fast, friendly and always delicious!!! Nothing fancy just good fresh food

    1. Pork with Rice Noodles
    Mike L.

    Came by a Saturday at noon for some grub to go. Cozy restaurant with nice decor. No other patrons. Quick glance at their menu/pictures (on the wall) and decided on a couple pork with rice noodle bowls, spring rolls, and egg rolls. My order came out in decent time. Food was okay. Nothing really stood out. Spring rolls were mostly lettuce filled. Pork dishes were just okay. Egg rolls were decent. Sadly, a one and done experience for me.

    Pork vermicelli bowl was delicious!

    Service was quick and friendly. Dish was tasty, it's rare to find Viet restaurants with food vermicelli bowls nearby.

    Popper in here craving pho and a summer roll. The tea light special (dine in only) is perfect. I very much enjoyed it all, choosing the steak pho for my soup. Great parking and nearby shopping by the theater. Appreciate that they give back to military service persons as well.

    Main restaurant area or you can sit outside under the individual table umbrellas or take the food go

    The casual environment and phenomenal consistent food at the tea. Café is exceptional. I'm not saying that from one visit. I've been eating here for well over a decade and enjoying every minute. Do you want casual experience with nice ambience in the venue, and food that touch the bar or the genre, he like Café is the place to come. It's quick, great value and the food rocks. Join the journey and join us

    3. Pork with 2 Egg Rolls
    Angel T.

    I've gotten the same thing here both times (#3 Pork with two egg rolls) and honestly great both times. Pretty refreshing meal and good portion size for me. Nice place for a quick and easy lunch with fast service. Good place to eat lunch on your own or grab a quick bite with your friends.

    #14 Beef Steamed Rice Plate
    Dwayne O.

    Tea Light Cafe Egg Rolls were nice and Crispy and had a dipping sauce, very good and recommend this appetizer. #14 Beef Steamed Rice Plate marinated beef or chicken or pork with jasmine rice, cucumbers, house made pickled carrots and cabbage. I chose the beef, which was a little stiff and dry, my wife selected the pork which she really liked. Was busy for a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm. We had tried this restaurant years ago and was without much impression, but enjoyed our experience. Just order the pork over the beef

After reviewing the menu we decided on Lemongrass chicken with vegetables, beef with vegetables, beef vermicelli, and shrimp vermicelli. Service is always fast here. I ordered the lemongrass chicken. It is pretty spicy. The flavoring was really nice with a fish sauce in it. It was probably spicier than I wanted. Think I'll go back to my noodle order next time. It was good to try something different though. I would give my dish four stars. Otherwise everything else gets five stars. Free street parking outside.

The restaurant seems to charge for every little thing and the staff is slow and forgetful. Having to get up so many times just to remind them about our order is simply not acceptable. I really hope things improve, especially for long time customers who have supported this place for years Ambience The ambience was very cute and charming. The space feels inviting and has a pleasant atmosphere. Food The food was good. We ordered the catfish spring rolls and they were delicious once everything finally made it to the table. Service The service was the biggest issue and it was very disappointing, especially since my family has been coming here for 3 years. Parts of our order were missing, including several side dishes and even the sauce for the spring rolls. We asked for a cup of ice and that was missing too. We waited about 10 minutes after receiving the catfish before the vegetables were brought out and we had to keep asking for simple items. It's a shame because things taste best when the food is still hot, but the catfish was already cold once they brought out all the small dishes that came with the main dish. Because the staff was moving so slowly, we ended up walking to the counter (6 times) just to follow up on things that should have been brought to us without asking. It honestly felt like we were serving ourselves. There should be no excuse why service was so slow because there's two waitress and only one other table. The Vietnamese coffee tasted sickly sweet and burnt. After taking one sip, I asked to switch to a Thai tea, hoping it would be better, but that drink was also extremely sickenly sweet. I returned it after one sip as well. I was surprised to see that I was charged for both drinks and was told it was because I drank them, which did not feel fair at all. They even charged us for the lemon slices.

But somehow I had saved this one to my map so I came here with a couple friends for dinner last week. I wasn't super hungry, so I just ordered spring rolls, crispy chicken dumplings and a "dragon egg" boba tea "smoothie." Though it was on their menu under "Smoothies" it was not a smoothie at all. It was an icee. That said, it was still delicious and I loved the fresh and fruity boba balls. The flavor was more lychee than strawberry, but I didn't mind. My friends got an appetizer plate and 5-spice chicken. Both enjoyed their food very much. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, but does have sit-down service. Very chill vibes, and prices were fair. The place was clean, staff was attentive, and the peanut sauce that came with my spring rolls wasn't spicy, which I appreciated! So glad we tried this place out, and I would definitely like to come here again, especially when I have a bigger appetite!!

This place stays packed, which is always a good sign--and it definitely delivered. I went with the tofu veggie pho, while my husband ordered the beef special pho. Both were genuinely delicious. The broth had great flavor, everything tasted fresh, and it hit that perfect comforting-but-not-heavy balance. Service was quick and super friendly, even with how busy it was, which we appreciated. It's not quite a 5-star "blown away" experience, but it's a strong 4 stars and absolutely somewhere I'd come back to. We left completely full--but not that overly stuffed, regret-it-later kind of full. Just satisfied. If you're looking for a no-frills, reliable Vietnamese spot with great pho, this one's worth a visit.

The ambience is super comfortable, easy, casual. But, it's *super* loud, like really, really loud. The 4 of us had to literally scream, top of our lungs, to hear each other, and these aren't big tables, it's tight in there, so you're very close together. We left with sore throats from yelling. It felt like "a relief" when we stepped out front. After 2 hours sitting in the wooden seats, my butt was also relieved to be getting up. Parking is ridiculous, it's a very thin one way driveway with *no way to turn around* when you reach the end - back it up! Super tiny parking lot. Food: the food was very good. We ordered 6-8 things for the 4 of us because all items are pretty small. Top section of the menu are called smaller items. They were. Items on the bottom section are bigger, but not big. For perspective, when the 4 of us split an item from the bottom "entree section" we each got 2-3 bites/forks-full. So a full entree for one person is 8-12 bites. All items tasted very good, clearly high quality, well curated and definitely unique to this restaurant. The steamed white rice was hot, steamy, moist and sticky, really good. The Panang Chicken was really good, different, creamy, dark, rich and smokey. I added pictures of the menu, inside, patio, bar and a few food items so you can see for yourself. Would I go back? I would because the service was great, visual atmosphere was comfortable, and food was high quality, but turning the music volume down at least 1/2 way from what we had would go a long way,... a looooong way, seriously. Increasing the portion size of menu entrees would also be an improvement since they're about the same price as larger portions elsewhere. And throw some cushions on those inside wooden benches, our butts will thank you. Overall this was a good first visit and I'd try Glai Baan again, hoping for the same great service, quality food and updates to the other items.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback.

In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect.

I really wanted to like this spot, especially as a fan of a well-balanced bánh mì. The sandwich was generous and good value, loaded with meat, but the execution didn't quite come together. The vegetables were tucked toward the back of the bun, making it hard to enjoy that classic balance in each bite. The mayo was far too heavy and the meat leaned overly sweet, which threw off the overall flavor. It also could have used more jalapeños and cilantro to bring some freshness and contrast. The bread was crispy, which was nice, but it was much larger in size and shape than a traditional baguette, leaning more toward a big roll than that light, airy texture you'd expect. Overall, good value but missed the mark on balance and authenticity for me. Saluti.
