Speaking of fire, a server that wasn’t even over our section rolled up to our table after overhearing a discussion we were having about spice. This is not Thai food, but we were talking about a funny experience I had ordering Thai hot, so she rolled up with a little bowl of something that looked kinda like fresh sambal olek. It was legit fire, and so good! The server’s name was Robin. So neat that she was that attentive to listen and come and engage with our table like that. I got two little cups to go.
I’d be back for sure.
One thing that really sets this place apart is that the owner actively walks the floor, checking in with guests and offering thoughtful menu suggestions. That level of involvement shows in both the quality of the food and the overall experience.
They’re also very strong when it comes to gluten-free options. The staff is knowledgeable, comfortable answering questions, and clearly understands how to guide diners with dietary needs. That confidence makes dining here easy and enjoyable. Huynh is a place we trust and one I’m always happy to recommend.
For mains, I had the pho with ribeye beef. The portion was perfect, the broth amazingly fresh, and the beef was tender and flavorful. My wife ordered the vermicelli bowl with strip-fried lemongrass beef, which was fragrant, well-seasoned, and refreshing. Both dishes really impressed us.
The downside was our waiter, Brian. He came across as rude and dismissive. When my wife asked about a Banh Mi, he replied, “This is not a sandwich shop.” On top of that, while I was deciding between pho and vermicelli, he made it seem like I didn’t know Vietnamese cuisine at all. Those kinds of comments felt unnecessary and unprofessional.
Thankfully, the rest of the staff stepped in and saved the evening. They kept our drinks full, quickly fixed our spring roll order, and treated us warmly. Their attentiveness helped balance out the poor impression Brian left.
The food here is absolutely worth coming back for, but I hope the service is more consistent across the board.

But one thing affected my experience is that me and my friend got a seat beside the wall at the end of an isle, a lot of different servers will walk by us and look at us. Though it make sense they are just trying to see if anyone needs to be served, it was a little bit awkward and my friend had to look outside the window to avoid eye contact with the server passing by.
