    Cha Gio: Crisp, fried spring rolls of shrimp, pork & asian mushrooms, with chili lime dipping sauce. Good way to start a meal.

    Beautiful space, classic vibe. Very professional staff. Apps were good. Pho bo is small portion but with steak-like meat (No other parts in it). Great drink options for cocktails, wine, coffee etc

    The most delicious place for anyone, including those who are plant-based, vegetarian, vegan. Try the tofu and eggplant in a coconut sauce!

    The vegan coconut curry is delicious!The vegan spring rolls were also yummy: you take the lettuce, cilantro, mint, carrots & jicama and wrap it around the spring roll. Double layered & adds freshness!

    Great atmosphere is amazing. Sit upstairs or on the balcony. The entrees taste more like Chinese food though.. I'd recommend getting several small salads

    Start with filet mignon salad. Move to sauted jumbo shrimp and house fried rice. End with mango and vanilla ice-cream . Two folks can share for a light affordable meal. Also red snapper excellent.

    Incredibly fragrant and fresh, like good Vietnamese cuisine should be. I highly recommend the pho as well as the spicy eggplant side dish.

    Got an adventurous eater? Break tradition and opt for Bun Thit Nuong: Vietnamese-style barbecue pork with angel-hair pasta, tossed in a lime-garlic sauce and topped with kid-pleasing crushed peanuts. Read more
