You can taste the freshness in the food. We had some dumplings that were really flavorful. The only thing is that it wasnt busy, but no one would come check on us so we kinda had to wait to see someone to ask for stuff. Other than that, the pho was delicious because it wasnt over seasoned but still had rich flavor.

After several dozen visits, it was only appropriate to leave a review on how fantastic this establishment is. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your visit is the best possible. I have yet to have a dish that I did not love. The pho is outstanding. The vermicelli 70 is my favorite dish. Visit now. You will not regret it.
