Reviews
For some reason the strawberry lemonade was half lemonade and half seltzer. We mixed it up really well and it tasted better than before. Service was great, our hostess was new but we could tell she was doing her best.
Overall I’m going to try a different place next time I’m craving some vermicelli.
I had the vermicelli noodles with shrimp and veggies added fried vietnamese egg rolls. Great flavors, shrimp was perfectly cooked and tender as can be, sauce was balanced sweet and sour, really tasty.
I was a little bummed that my Vietnamese coffee was pre-mixed. It’s fun to mix in the sweetened condensed milk and try sips of the strong coffee by itself and also various strengths as you mix it.
Summer Rolls/Nem Nuong Cuon ($11): These were underwhelming, pretty bland without the peanut sauce, which I thought was just okay as well.
OG Banh Mi ($14): Delicious! It was one of our top two banh mi here, along with the lamb one. The bread was nicely toasted, the pâté came through, and all the flavors were on point.
Garlic Butter Prawn Bún ($18): The shrimp were perfectly cooked, though the garlic butter flavor wasn’t very strong. The vermicelli and veggies were so fresh and tasty together with the nuoc mam that I was able to eat the leftovers without any protein.
Curry Ramen ($16): This was our first time trying curry ramen, so we didn’t know what to expect. You got to choose your protein, so we went with chashu. The curry had flavors similar to oc len xa dua and was pretty good, and the ramen itself had a great texture. I still prefer regular ramen but would still recommend trying this at least once.
Wok Seared Lamb Bun ($18) + 2 Fried Eggrolls ($3): This was the most unique item on the menu–we hadn’t seen lamb bun or banh mi at a Vietnamese spot before, so we had to try it. It ended up being the best of the three dishes we ordered. The noodles were slightly cold, but the lamb was flavorful and well-cooked. There was a nice variety of vegetables and a solid nuoc mam. The egg rolls were small and sliced in half lengthwise. They stayed a bit crispy and were decent, though not particularly memorable.
Grilled Pork Banh Mi ($12): The grilled pork was tasty but too salty, and the bread wasn’t crispy or complementary to the ingredients. Overall, the banh mi lacked the quintessential Vietnamese flavors we expected.
Corn Ribs ($10): The entire corn rib was very soft. The flavors were good, but at $10, it didn’t feel like a great value.
The service is sloowwww! Took a good 10 mins just to get waters and then another 10 to place our orders.
We ordered the Banh Mi hoping that will come out faster considering it’s a sandwich, but unfortunately after waiting 20 mins , had to walk upto the server/ billing area to ask if they are going to take long.
Banh Mi itself was pretty dry with lack of sauces inside, and vegetables not being aptly pickled.
The whole experience was not the best!
Might give it another go to try a different dish, and to give them the benefit of the doubt!
Definitely was not worth $11 though.
Overall, good service and speed but flavor was just average for me. Parking is limited as any location in downtown. Worth coming to try this restaurant out.
We really really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back!
