We arrived around 12-1pm. It was crazy busy! Line was out the door. When you first enter that’s where you’ll place your order and let the cashier know if you’re dining in or ordering for take out.
It was a really cutesy and bright restaurant. They did decorate certain areas for photos. No music but because it was a very busy restaurant it was pretty loud. I found it difficult to converse with my significant other.
Due to how busy it was we waited 20mins for all of our food to come out, which wasn’t too bad. You seat yourself after they give you a dining table #, There is a self serve station where you get your own utensils, water, and condiments. Besides the cashier at ordering when you enter, no one else really checks in on you.
We spent a total of $65 for 2 drinks, 2 pho, egg rolls and a combo bahn mi.
Pho: Unsure if it’s due to the chili oil I added in but after mixing the noodles up and then tasting the pho, it was very salty. Good portion of noodles and meat. The beef was soft and tender which made up for everything else. 3/5
Bahn mi: Amazing amount of meat! I did love it but it was overpowering the veggies. The paste definitely was not a regular pate, more buttery. It was good after letting the bread soak it up. 4/5
Eggrolls: For me, it lacked a lot of seasoning. Could definitely use a little bit more oyster sauce and salt. Very basic eggroll. 2/5
Lychee w/mango twist swirl: loved it! It was sweet and the combo went well with each other. 5/5
Caramel frappe: no pictures of it because it came out after everything else arrived. Per my significant other, typical caramel frappe; tastes like all others. He compared it to MCD and said it was basically the same. 5/5

Cute and homey place. Service was attentive and friendly. Tri-color refresher was good. I like lychee and wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the strong lychee juice from the jello they put in but the more I drank, I liked it. Got three banhmis, the circle combo, charsiu pork and regular cold cut. Truthfull, was a bit disappointed, there wasn’t much flavor to any of them. Barely any mayo/pate on each. Charsiu pork was just sweet, didn’t taste like charsiu. Baguette was crispy yet soft. Meat portions were decent. Wait time should have not been 35 minutes with orders after me(banhmis as well), getting theirs before me. So based off the first initial order, I would go back to try other dishes and drinks but the banhmi’s were sadly a miss.

Since it was pretty new when I went i dont blame them for taking so long to get our order. Took about 40mins to get 2 banh mis which was pretty pretty good but wish it had pate or if it did there wasnt enough, got 3 drinks. The tiramisu milk tea was pretty good with a pice of the cake in there, the Ube cream Vietnamese iced coffee, and the matcha milk tea. Also got a tiramisu croffle. It was so good, probably the best not hot made one. All the croffles I’ve had before were freshly made. This one was freshly put together at room temp I guess is the only way to explain it. Hope in the future they dont lose quality and speed up orders. Oh yeah also got the pork belly laab bao buns. Pretty good for being unique.

The food was all right. It was better than most Asian cuisine in the area, but the egg rolls were thin and they lacked flavor and they were burnt as well on the ends and towards the middle which was kind of weird. Also, the dipping sauce didn’t have flavor at all and there wasn’t even enough to truly dip your egg roll in as an enhancer of flavor as the cup that the dipping sauce came in was small and maybe filled by like a quarter of an inch of sauce which is nothing. Restaurant itself has an ambiance of cold institutional cafeteria. Feel. They’ve tried. It’s very clean and it’s nice and new at that but it’s not welcoming so much. The staff is not either not friendly nor are they friendly except for one of the owners nieces who is phenomenal, she provided incredible customer service not only taking our order but also following up with us when there was a little bit of a confusion about the delivery of our order. Order. Overall they need to work on whether they are going to have a waitress or waiter for a designated area instead of shouting out numbers that do not match the receipt. Overall, the food was okay when I go out to dinner. I don’t want to bust my own table or get my own water which is why people do go out. We’ll give it a try in another 6 months and get back to you to see if they worked out their kinks.

An asian restaurant that serves Vermicelli Noodles, Bahn Mi sandwiches, Spring Rolls, Egg rolls, Chicken Wings, Croffle, Coffee, Shakes, Matcha and some specialty drinks.
The food quality was good. The Bahnmi sandhwich was great in quality. the bread was crunchy yet super soft! the amount of protein you get is very generous and more than enough for one person. The bahnmi sandwiches from here, we would highly recommend sharing it with one more other person as its a good size. The vermicelli noodles was great. The vermicelli noodle dish will satisfy your cravings for it. The amount of noodlesis very well balanced with the choice of protein you choose. The drinks were very well made and wasnt stuffed with ice as other shops do.
We enjoyed the food. The only unfortunate experience was when we ordered, we saw others were getting their dishes that ordered after us. we waiting for about 20 minutes. We will give them the benefit of the doubt and we would still recommend this spot.
This located at the the old Perkins restauant. The interior is very cute and very homey. Lots of tables and you can definely seat a big group if you wanted.

Food comes out after ordering from counter. My order came out in what seemed like 5-10 min waves. The pork belly bun came out first, they were decent. The pork was tender but I didn’t like the pickled carrots/diakon that accompanied it. The pho came out next which was so so. Condiments are shared amongst other tables. Broth wasn’t bland but lack the seasoning. The vermicelli bowl came out next which is decent. I had the combination of pork and chicken. My kids enjoyed the meat! The party wings came out later. They came out hot and looked burnt but didn’t taste to bad, definitely crispy batter. The drinks came our last. Had 2 brown sugar milk tea and 2 cokes. The milk tea were so so, I’d preferred sweeter but my kids loved it.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. I got The Circle Bahn Mi and it tasted great. The ingredients tasted fresh. Vermecelli salad was also good with a variety of meats added in.

I was super excited to try out this place after I saw that it opened. After going there today, I’m already planning when I’ll be back! The mixed berry matcha was super flavorful and strong, and the mango croffle was not too sweet and had a nice crunch. The workers were super friendly and the interior of the shop is very cute with the heart decorations and fireplace. Parking was easy, and it’s in a location that I think definitely needs more great places like this one.

Got the Pho, Ka Poon, Braised Pork belly bao bun. Place feels homey and like a cafe. Everything is pretty much self serve. You order at the counter and pick up at the counter. The Pho was more on the fatty and beefy side and was still really good. Not much to add to the Pho to make it good. The Bao Bun was like a taco and very flavorful. Ka poon was spicy and flavorful.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious—clearly made fresh, full of flavor, and served in very generous portions. You can truly taste the care that goes into each dish.
The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in. Their hospitality really elevated the entire experience.
The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food—pleasant, inviting, and beautifully decorated. Every detail added to a cozy and enjoyable dining experience. We truly loved our time here and can’t wait to come back.
