Clean and inviting interior. Friendly staff and the food was excellent. Grilled Pork Bahn Mi sandwiches had great flavor, although the bread was a little tough for my taste everything else was delightful. Spicy fries were really interesting and tasty. The Imperial egg rolls were perfectly fried and had good taste and texture with just enough crispness!  I'm looking forward to going back to try the garlic noodles!

Update 11/27/24 tried the Garlic Noodles with grilled pork and it was excellent! Pork was a little fattier than I like but the flavor was amazing, and the garlic noodles were spot on.

This place has been on my list of places to go, so I finally decided to give the place a visit! We ordered the Lemongrass Steak ($12), Crispy Duck ($13), Buddha Tofu ($10) Banh Mi, and Thai Iced Tea. I liked that they were very generous with the pickled veggies. Though the sandwiches were tasty, the prices were pricier compared to other specialty sandwich places.

Arrived when they opened, service was friendly(they were already taking calls for pick-up) and service was quick.

Ordered the Garlic Noodles w/Shaken Beef, the garlic noodles comparable with Teng Longs noodle(maybe even better).

The Fish Bahn Mi was amazing, large portions of breaded fish filet, crisp but not over cooked. The Vietnamese Ice coffee may be slightly smaller than some places. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in coffee strength.

This is a wonderful place to go for a 1st date or 10th date, with its coffee house atmosphere and food (without the pretentiousness of a Teng Long or at times Ben Tre).
