Reviews
The meat is tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious — but the best part is the fish sauce ✨
So tasty and well-balanced, it really makes the whole meal perfect ️
The service was also excellent. A friendly gentleman — possibly the owner — was handling everything from taking orders and serving food to making drinks and checking out the bills. Despite being busy, he was quick and attentive.
The restaurant is small and located inside a mall, so you have to walk in a bit to find it, but it’s definitely worth it. There’s a great variety of food on the menu, and everything is very reasonably priced.
I ordered mì quảng and bánh cuốn Thăng Long. I hadn’t had either of these in the States before. Because my husband is less familiar with Vietnamese food and was a little hesitant about the things I wanted, we also ordered gỏi cuốn tôm thịt and bún thịt nướng chả giò for a little more familiarity, as he had already tried these in other restaurants.
The bánh cuốn was made well and the nước chấm was delicious. I am somewhat hesitant about chả lụa, but this meat was flavorful and I enjoyed it. It also came with shrimp cakes, which was new to me. They were crispy, but not very flavorful.
The gỏi cuốn was fresh and warm and came with warm peanut sauce. This was new to my husband, and he remarked that the textures and temperature were different from what he was used to, but for me it felt like I was right back on the streets of Saigon.
The mì quảng was so fragrant and the pork inside was so flavorful. This was a dish I’d only had once or twice when I was in Vietnam, and it made me regret not having it more. It was SO good. The herbs and vegetables that came with it have names I never learned (besides like mint and cilantro), but they are so delicious and perfect. Would absolutely recommend this dish.
I tried the chả giò in my husband’s dish, and it was the first time I’ve had good Vietnamese fried spring rolls in the USA. I didn’t taste any of the rest of his bún thịt nướng, but he enjoyed it, and it looked great.
This was way too much food for two people, but I was just so excited to try everything. We ate as much as we could and left feeling very very full, but it was worth it.
Note that the prices reflected in the most recent menus posted on Google are not accurate, as prices have increased from last year. We spent $70 after tax and tip (this being an abnormally large amount of food for two people, so it’s understandable).
Luckily this place takes credit cards because there are some other restaurants at Eden Center that will only accept cash.
Food: 2/3. Cold and dry food. It tasted like food was sitting there all day and they just microwaved. And sorry to say, all items we have tasted have been incredibly bland. Even the fish sauce.
Service: The unattended server lacked customer service etiquette, engaging in disruptive behavior like using slang on the phone and making loud, heavy noises. I wasn’t expecting world-class service, but the experience was unpleasant.
Even the business nearby which is selling tofu mainly does a better job than this place
Located in Eden Center, I had a nostalgic time eating here. The food was perfect for eating during a cold winter day, and my tummy felt full and warm after enjoying the delights that they had to offer.
We had the mi quang, buon thit nuong, banh cuon dac biet, and buon bo hue chay. What I appreciated the most was the freshness of the vegetables. Iconic Vietnamese cuisine highlights the freshest ingredients, and every dish felt home cooked and simmered for hours. I ate the mi quang and cuon dac biet, and I loved how smooth and warm the soup was. The meat was tender, the noodles were cooked just right, and I didn’t have to add extra seasoning to boost the flavor. It also wasn’t watery/diluted, which I find very common in Vietnamese restaurants throughout the US. It reminded me of being back home with my mom cooking the same dishes.
I also love how there’s a vegan option for my friend to try. I had a small taste of their buon bo hue, and the flavor was not lacking whatsoever. The jackfruit and seitan were the meat substitutions, and it was deliciously tender.
I also had nuoc mia juice, which was just the right amount of sweet and tang I needed. My only con was that it was $7 for such a small amount.
This place would definitely have been five stars had it not taken so long for the food to be served. I understand that it takes time for these dishes to be made, but we did wait up to 25 minutes to get all of our dishes.
Would I recommend going here? Absolutely. I would travel all the way to Eden Center from NYC just to feast on these eats. I’d also recommend dining in their other stalls and restaurants to try out the various regional Vietnamese foods.
