If you are thing about getting the spring roll, consider the imperial roll instead. Tip was provided by our waitress and she was spot on!

Imperial rolls appetizer is large. Cheap/decent bahn mi sandwiches. Chicken stir fry over rice was good. All 3 of those for $20. Overall good food for the price.

Very good Vietnamese place. Staff isn't friendly at all but they're fast and the food is phenomenal for the price. Worth getting off the train.

Their small is still pretty large so you probably will be plenty full with just ordering a small, my favorite one is #12. They also have a good thai iced tea here too.

Every cuisine has its staple dish. Vietnamese is pho. But here ingredients are canned or frozen. If I made it at home, it would also be hot. And tasty. Shame, really.

They have 2 sizes for pho, small and large. The large is the standard size. Small is good for lunch.

good vietnamese noodles. unfortunately, staff isnt necessarily the friendliest around.
TonyAugust 22, 2012
The staff is really quite rude, and the food is no better than the half a dozen other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Not worth the visit.
