    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

The Vietnamese coffee was probably one of the strongest I've tasted, a little on the more bitter side, but a few sips and you're good to go. Yes, there's usually a wait since the place has limited seating and sometimes they even sell out, but definitely worth trying! Wasn't too loud and cozy atmosphere. Bring yourself something to do since there's not much to walk around in the area while you wait. Overall, some of the best pho, appetizers, and drinks in the valley with that traditional and authentic flavor. Also, it always feels good to support your local family-run businesses.

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.

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.

I wanted to just chill and take my time to eat, but the server never came back again for me to order another drink so I decided I should just get out then since they didn't want me there long it seemed let's start off with the food review tho my spring rolls tasted off like there was something a bit funky with them, as well as how to frozen texture on the inside and I was given the smallest amount of fish sauce I've ever seen every other place. I've been to is a huge amount or like a generous amount of that sauce dividend but I got like barely anything so I was like trying to scoop it at the end, but yeah, definitely funky tasting rolls. The pho itself consisted mostly of noodles and a decent amount of meat at least but with the combination, I felt like the tendon they just gave the biggest chunks possible, which were extremely hard to try to bite through unusual for me to come across I love tripe and tendon the most in the combos, the regular size is generously sized tho no need to pay extra for a larger size unless you're really hungry the flavor of the broth tasted good nothing special but it was a alright meal prob won't come back but I don't think it was entirely a waste of time

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.
