I was so suprised by how good the pho broth is - it's legit. The broth is piping hot, super flavorful, but still light and not too oily. Prices are good considering the portion size. They have all of the proper toppings & they don't skimp on any of the meats. Service is friendly & the restaurant is spacious. Parking is plentiful - there's a lot right out front. Cash & card are both accepted.

Loved the large menu with a variety of Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese options and even some Italian items. We ordered the sizzling spicy dry chicken and beef bibimbap and really enjoyed both dishes. The portions were large and the dishes were flavorful and well prepared. This was my first time having bibimbap with a raw egg instead of fried and it was really tasty- the egg mixed throughout the dish and cooked from being in the hot bowl. We also ordered the crispy vermicelli rolls as an appetizer, but weren't too impressed with the portion size or the rolls themselves. It seemed like a lot of other guests were ordering spring rolls, and those may have been a better option. As other reviews have mentioned, the ambiance is not a main draw of the restaurant, but we were looking for somewhere tasty, interesting, and casual and really enjoyed our meal here.

There are plenty of Asians eating in here. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli and it was full of fresh cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, and sprouts. The meat had one flavor note which was salty, no grilled smoky flavor, no caramelization. With a $4.75 tapioca dessert, tax, tip and the "convenience fee" for using a credit card lunch was 28$. I felt like I could have used slightly less ambience and more caramelization on the pork or a 10% bigger portion and it would have been really good.

I just wish the broths were boiling beforehand because the table heats up pretty slowly. Aside from that, they have a really nice hotpot combo for $23.50 during dinner time and you can pick one broth, one carb, one protein, and it comes with a vegetable bouquet, so I think it's pretty affordable as long as you don't order any extras. It's individual hotpot so you don't have to share pots and worry about sharing. The mala broth is superb and I think it's so flavorful because they use pho broth as the base. It does get sweeter as it boils down, but I guess I kind of prefer that over regular hotpot that gets saltier over time. They have a nice sauce bar with a good variety and even have pickled onions and jalapeños. If you're looking for a spicy and zesty sauce you can try my usual combo of: garlic, chili peppers, barbecue sauce, cilantro, scallions, red vinegar, and squeeze two slices of lime. The meat quality is not bad. They have meat combo platters as well if you want to order more meat on the side. I tried the blue jolly expecting it to taste sour like a blue jolly rancher, but it was more sweet and too strong for my liking. I tried the lychee green tea and it was not bad, a subtle taste of lychee. Aside from that the place is pretty big and they also have a separate bar room that you can eat in as well since this place was a tavern/club. Anyways I'm going again for the 3rd day in a row!

The night we went was a Thursday at 6pm, we were one of 4 tables there. Drinks were meh. We waited a really really long time to be greeted, choose drinks on their signature menu to make it quicker, then waited an equally long time for drinks. Then we waited well past the time we had finished our drinks to give our order. Waited for water. Never could ask for a refill of water or beverage. Our server mostly was back in the kitche Only one person there could make drinks and they also had tables they were waiting on. Despite those challenges people were very nice and kind. We'd go back to give it another try in hopes the wait wasn't quite so long and drinks weren't so blah.

A large variety of dried snacks and jerky in the center. Next to the register, you get full view of how the bánh mì is made, and I never get tired of watching. The bánh mì itself is pretty darn good. The bread here has to be the crunchiest bánh mì bread I have ever eaten. It's still light and airy inside, but the crust is phenomenally crunchy and gets absolutely everywhere. The pickled vegetables are on point, and the combination ham and BBQ are exactly how they should taste. If you've never had bánh mì before, then I totally recommend this place. And TOTALLY get the BBQ beef for guaranteed deliciousness.
