Delicious Vietnamese food! The broth is so flavorful, and I love that they have homemade hot sauce. Friendly and attentive staff, and it’s family-owned, which makes it feel even more welcoming. Only thing is that parking is tricky but manageable.

I have been going for 11 years. Solid family-run Vietnamese gem of a restaurant . Nothing has changed except the fish over the years in their fish tank and no more hot Vietnamese coffee-same food, same menu, same decor, same family and servers, same prices, same parking. In this ever changing world, I LOVE that they haven’t changed a thing and the food is delicious. Don’t ever change. It is worth the parking issue. Reminder that they are closed Sundays and Mondays. I love the pho, fried pork rolls, and spring rolls, glass noodles #27, lemonade…Everything is delicious with homey atmosphere . My kids love this place and grew up going there and so do I.

Incredible place! Love their pho and spare ribs over rice. The quality of ingredients is unmatched. Best place in town for Vietnamese food 🙂

We ordered TOM XAO CARI XA OT CAY which is stir fried curry and lemongrass, HU TIEU XAO CARI CAY which is rice noodle w/curry chicken and Pho Do Bien which is rice noodle seafood soup.
My take was a little different than my husbands, so I’ll give you both. The price were very reasonable, albeit the portions were more like lunch size, but for me it was enough.
The dishes had a decent amount of noodles but could have used a bit more protein and vegetables. I thought the curry dishes had a nice sweet curry flavor but I didn’t taste any spice in either dish nor did I get a taste of citrus from the lemongrass. I still enjoyed it and would
go back again and try some other dishes.
My husband on the other hand had a different experience. He said the soup was good but felt the curry dishes were very bland and lacked flavor especially salt and spice. I am not sure he will be going back with me.
Overall I recommend you check it out for yourself. The jury is still out for us, but I would try it again.

Nice little Vietnamese eatery, good size and decent taste, a little on the sweeter side and less beefy taste for the broth. Vietnamese ice coffee was good. Decent price for the serving size. Fried spring rolls were good. Parking is a little tricky at the back but manageable.

I was craving some pho after a Saturday hike (yes, I’d probably the only crazy person who wants hot soup after a workout on a summer day), and I found TC’s Little Taste of Saigon on Yelp. It’s a small restaurant that looks like someone’s house, so it’s really easy to miss. There’s also limited parking (maybe three spots out in front?) but we got a spot since we went in for a late lunch, maybe around 1:45.
I ordered the combo pho. It’s not the best pho but it will do in a pinch. They don’t even give you thai basil or jalapeños. For drinks, I had the lemonade soda. It was too sweet for me but nothing some water couldn’t fix. My husband had the bun bo hue, which was pretty spicy – not something you want to eat on a hot day. It’s also not traditionally made – it seemed like they just had the lemongrass based broth and added chili flakes to it, but it was still pretty good overall. I especially liked the thicker noodles they used which bun bo hue is typically served with, so at least they followed that part of the recipe.
While I would go out of my way to come back here, it’s not a bad option for pho if you happen to be in the area.

Amazing discovery!
Not expensive, great quality. The Pho here is not as strong in spices compared to other places, but that’s the key point of they are so attractive and the homemade hot chili sauce is fantastic!
It was my first visit, so I ordered a small Pho, and it was so delicious that I bought a large size Pho again. If you like Vietnamese food, I recommend not to miss this place.

Delicious and affordable! My boyfriend and I came here, we each ordered pho and split a pork chop over rice. The iced coffee w/condensed milk and the soda lemonade were also delicious.
It was a cozy and comfortable place, the lady/owner is so sweet. $50 for everything after tip – can’t beat that. We will be back!

Hands down the absolute BEST Vietnamese food you can get in North Jersey.
I find myself craving their Chicken Pho weekly and it manages to exceed my expectations every damn time!
Their homemade chili sauce is good enough to drink and the rice paper spring rolls come with a peanut sauce that you’ll think about for days.
Great food, great service, great prices.

This restaurant has been around since I was about 9 years old (currently 26) and the food is still amazing. It is owned by the most loving Vietnamese woman named Chi. If you are looking for the most home feeling Pho and experience in the area it is here. Coming from a Vietnamese family myself, this is the closest to home cooked as you will get. Food is served fast and fresh.
The restaurant is small yet perfect for the experience it is trying to capture. The bathroom is remarkably clean and adorable. Parking is a little difficult but worth it if you can find a spot. Will always choose this place if in the area.
